WEIGHT LOSS & HCG Extreme Wellness Clinic, under the direction of Dr. James E. Pickens M.D., has incorporated HCG into our Health & Wellness philosophy.
What is HCG? The Nature of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) HCG is never found in the human body except during pregnancy and in those rare cases in which a residue of placental tissue continues to grow in the womb in what is known as a chorionic epithelioma. It is never found in the male. The human type of chorionic gonadotropin is found only during the pregnancy of women and the great apes. It is produced in enormous quantities, so that during certain phases of her pregnancy a woman may excrete as much as one million International Units per day in her urine – enough to render a million infantile rats precociously mature. Other mammals make use of a different hormone, which can be extracted from their blood serum but not from their urine. Their placenta differs in this and other respects from that of man and the great apes. This animal chorionic gonadotropin is much less rapidly broken down in the human body than HCG, and it is also less suitable for the treatment of obesity.
Dr. Pickens' HCG Program: HCG has been clinically researched by Dr. Simeons an his complete protocol is part of this website and we encourage your review of that protocol. Dr. Simeon has treated patients according to his Protocol "Pounds & Inches" for more than 50 years.

*(According to the FDA, HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.)
