WEIGHT LOSS FOR LIFE

           

If you’ve clicked on this tab, you might be interested in what we offer our patients to assist in weight loss.

Before I ask any of my patients to take on a dietary challenge, I personally follow the protocol myself. Like most of my patients, the majority of the diets I’ve tried are either too difficult to incorporate into my busy and hectic life or do not produce the results I hoped for.

            I am more excited than I’ve ever been about the weight loss program we offer as a part of our treatment protocol. Most important to the success of this program is your understanding we are not a “weight loss clinic” but a “total wellness clinic.” Not only will we help you shed those unwanted pounds, our goal is to restore vibrant health, with weight loss being one piece of the puzzle.   

            To date, we have helped nearly a thousand patients shed those unwanted pounds with over 50 doctors using our protocol in their practices.  Our success is 100%, if the patient follows the program.

Forced into Seriously Considering the Value of hCG and our

Evolution to Reformulating SHAPE ReClaimed

I confess I had a chip on my shoulder the size of Gibraltar regarding the newest “hCG fad diet.” In my 30 years of practice, I have read and studied every diet known to man. Many of these diets were reasonable, but I will admit the majority were built on incorrect dietary principles and doomed to failure. I witnessed patient after patient losing weight through extreme measures only to come face to face with the challenge of living their lives feeling deprived. Not only did they give up, they gained back everything they lost and then some.

In early 2009, a previous patient who relocated, due to a job transfer, moved back to town resuming our doctor/patient relationship. In the past, all attempts to help her drop those extra pounds gained during menopause failed time and again. Now, just six months later, she stood in my office 22 pounds lighter beaming from ear to ear. Immediately commenting on how wonderful she looked and happy she had found a way to successfully drop those extra pounds, I asked about how she lost the weight.

She pulled out a bottle of hCG and said, “This is all I did.” I’m sure you can imagine my reaction.

“Are you telling me ALL you did was to take some homeopathic spray concoction and in just three weeks you dropped 22 pounds?”

“Well, yes….except I ate only 500 calories while I was using the spray.”

As you would expect, I knowingly smirked and thought, “Another crazy weight loss scam doomed to fail. She’ll be crying the blues in no time because she’ll have gained back all 22 pounds and then some.” After all, we brilliant doctors know eating 500 calories a day goes against everything we learned about calories and their nutritional purpose. I chose to ignore the fact that she had kept the weight off for six months.

As the months passed, patient after patient asked me if I had heard about this strange hCG program and begged me to seriously study it. The majority of these patients were struggling with menopausal madness and not willing to give up looking for something that would help them lose the extra weight they had gained.

Honoring their request, but more to get them off my case, I studied the work of Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Admittedly, I was mildly impressed, but still hung up on the 500 calorie per day. All my years of studying to become a doctor, plus 30 years of post grad and personal study, simply couldn’t get me past the dangerous hurdle of eating only 500 calories a day for weeks at a time.

For the next nine months, being the arrogant and all-knowing doctor, I continued condemning this “crazy” weight-loss program.

As fate would have it, another young lady came to see me, whom I hadn’t seen since she was eight years old. After hearing her story and applying it to what I had been studying, in an instant, I had my “aha” moment with the possibilities of hCG.

Faced with an unexpected death in our family and having to drive to the funeral in northern Wisconsin, I asked Linda, my wife, to read Dr. Simeons’ original writings out loud so we both could evaluate the program together. For the next few days, hours of driving time was devoted to pouring over his work. When she read, treatment must stop when a patient reaches a weight loss of 34 pounds on this 23 to 40 day period of time and only if the patient is grossly obese can they continue for an additional 5 to 6 pounds before discontinuing the hCG injections, I said, “Read that again.”

Sitting on the shelves in my library is just about every diet book written in the past 30 years. Not once in any of those books have I read you must stop the program if you reach a 34 to 40 pound loss in 40 days. What a bold and amazing statement.

The longer she read, the more it made sense to us, even lining up with what we know and understand about the function of the hypothalamus. Finally convinced it would be worth a try, we agreed to put Simeons’ diet to the test.  

Having lifelong hormonal challenges, four female surgeries (ending in early onset menopause) and frustrated with gaining an additional 30 pounds, my wife honestly didn’t believe this would be any different than all the other weight loss programs she had tried over the past 15 years. My thought was, if this works for Linda, I will swear it is the HOLY GRAIL of weight loss.

Having done our homework, we stocked our kitchen with all the necessary foods for our hCG adventure and began.

Being firm believers in another doctor’s long standing research and clinical experience, we followed Dr. Simeons work without so much as the slightest deviation.

It was miraculous. Not only were we losing weight, my wife was pleasantly surprised to see her cellulite disappearing. Much to our surprise and doubt, we both dropped a significant amount of weight and have kept it off.

After the recommended six week break, we both started a second round, but this time, both cheating big time. We wanted to see if one could take the hCG drops, not follow the exact restricted calorie diet, and still lose weight. Essentially, we were experimenting with being that “cheater, cheater pumpkin eater patient” who would inevitably want to try the diet but not follow the rigid restricted calorie diet.

Though we both dropped a little more weight, we regained what we lost when we stopped the drops.

After working with close to a thousand patients and experimenting with some other foods, we added some additional foods based on the clinical success of our patients to our protocol.

Once again we did a third round following Simeons original protocol with the addition of foods tested and were both successful in dropping additional weight. Together we’ve lost close to 65 pounds and are maintaining our loss with the exception of 2 to 5 pounds that fluctuate.

Forever thankful for patients seeking my help to overcome their health challenges, I am beyond grateful they were relentless in pushing me to study hCG. It is due to their persistence, their willingness to test the program, their openness to experiment with other foods to determine success or failure and their diligence to report any and all benefits (both positive and negative) that I now have succeeded in helping thousands regain a healthy weight.

Spanning my career, I have never….until now, been tempted to develop my own private label. Having gleaned much after working with over hundreds of patients, I determined there is definitely no ONE SIZE FITS ALL approach to using hCG for weight loss.

Though we entered the world of hCG for its weight loss benefits, what has become more obvious and important are the vast number of benefits gained from taking hCG. Because fat is inflammatory and immuno-suppressive, not only are patients losing weight, they are knocking down inflammation in their bodies, thus, improving their overall health and improved immune function.

Compiling all the feedback from my patients, I set out to formulate a product that would support my entire pyramid of health, and I believed I had succeeded in developing an hCG product that was superior to any I’ve seen on the market.

Though my journey began vehemently opposed to ever consider incorporating the use of hCG in my practice, today, I can say I have never been this excited in my 30 plus years of practice. I have witnessed miracles unfolding right before my eyes and am honored to share all I’ve learned with you.

 

FDA’s Blessing in Disguise

 

            Not only am I grateful to Dr. Simeons and the work he did decades ago, I am grateful the FDA took their stand on the use and sale of homeopathic hCG. We first thought they were only shutting down over-the-counter sales. Then we learned they shut down the sale of homeopathic hCG on eBay. We were in favor of both decisions as we believe it is best anyone using an hCG approach to dieting be monitored closely by a licensed practitioner. We suspected they would shut down homeopathic hCG simply because it was dramatically hurting big pharma’s profit margins. If everyone using hCG is having the same success as we are with SHAPE, we know there are many who no longer need their cholesterol, hypertension, blood sugar and NSAID medications after successful weight loss. We couldn’t be happier!

It is pathetic this country thrives on the profits of managing disease rather than putting their priority on improving the health of this nation. There is simply too much profit to be made from our society being sick. What if there was a paradigm shift?        

            The FDA is correct in their position of homeopathic hCG not being in the Homeopathic Pharmacopia of the United States (HPUS). It is this fact that deems the manufacturing of homeopathic hCG illegal. They are correct when they state economic fraud is running rampant. We only have ourselves and our greed to blame. Most were offensively overcharging the public. Our single goal was and continues to be: make this program affordable to as many as possible. The more patients we can help, the quicker we can help turn the tide on the horrific obesity epidemic and its contribution to the demise of vibrant health. The FDA is correct in saying there are fraudulent and unsafe products being sold.

            They are incorrect when stating there is no measurable hCG in the homeopathic product. The entire premise of homeopathy continues to baffle the scientific model. They are incorrect when they state it is not effective for weight loss. The proof is in millions of success stories.

            We believe the time will come when all FDA regulated labs will discontinue manufacturing homeopathic hCG. We also believe there will be rogue labs lurking about that will continue manufacturing homeopathic hCG. We caution you to be suspect of the quality of the product. Know the source of hCG and what additional substances are included. Remember, your patient’s safety is your priority.

            Because our lab chose to discontinue manufacturing any homeopathic hCG, we were forced to reformulate and believe this is a blessing in disguise.

            Though it took many months before I was willing to seriously look at homeopathic hCG as a potential weight loss option for my patients, I am grateful many of my patients continued pushing me to study its effectiveness and whether it was safe.

            Having read the controversial positions from a myriad of respected health care professionals and institutions, I could not deny the success I was seeing in those who were forging ahead without my stamp of approval.

            I know many colleagues who have chosen to steer clear of using any type of hCG with their patients because of the controversy surrounding its use.  

            My first reaction to hearing our lab halted production was panic. I quickly slipped into a state of anger and then instantly felt an overwhelming sense of peace. I knew in an instant I would reformulate.

            We immediately sent an email to all our distributors informing them of the situation then set out to study the chemistry of hCG. Because it is a glycoprotein hormone, I was confident I could mimic what hCG does in the body using a combination of sucrose, amino acids and a few additional substances. 

            After immersing myself in study for days on end, I put together what I believed would be the best replication of my original product, eliminating hCG altogether.

            Our lab ran 100 bottles and I chose 15 clinics to test the new formula with their patients. We held our breath and prayed unceasingly that we hit a bull’s eye. Within two weeks we began getting feedback from the patients who agreed to become participants in our trial study. Case after case reported excellent results above and beyond what we ever dreamed possible. Doctors were calling with phenomenal stories of success. It didn’t take us long to give our lab the green light and move into full production of our “born again” SHAPE ReClaimed.

            Though we had tremendous results with our first product, we are 100% confident our newly formulated product far surpasses our original.

            What we are most excited about is being bullet proof from the FDA’s scrutiny. Because hCG is so very controversial, we can now offer a product that is free of hCG yet still accomplish excellent results for decreasing inflammation and enhancing immune function while dropping excess weight.

            For the first time, with years of clinical experience, we finally have a program that is an instant success for all those who implement the protocol we have developed.

            While we began this journey following Dr. Simeons protocol to the word, our clinical experience, after working with hundreds of patients (along with guiding a great number of our colleagues), has been invaluable to help us tweak Dr. Simeons original protocol.  He died in 1970 and the nutritional knowledge and understanding we have gained in the past 60 years, since his earliest research using hCG for weight loss, is immeasurable.

            Because this is a physician guided program, we highly recommend you complete a thorough exam and have a baseline urine analysis before you start on SHAPE. If you are under the care of another prescribing physician, be certain you contact your doctor and let them know you are beginning this program. It is highly probable your medication levels will need adjusting after you lose weight and decrease inflammation (which most likely caused the need for your medication use in the first place.)

Together, we can impact the horrific obesity epidemic and improve the health of our nation, one patient at a time. Let us be the paradigm shift society is desperately seeking.

My goal has always been to help patients regain vibrant health without running up medical debt or expecting them to be at my office two to three times a week. I believe in the biblical principle of the “law of ten fold return.” The more I do to help others, the more I receive in return. My simple approach to life is to give all I’ve got to whatever I put my hand to and God will bless me ten fold. Living by this principle has blessed me above and beyond my wildest dreams.

I look forward to helping you reach your weight loss goals. Call the office today to schedule your new patient exam.
