Not only are most diets hard work, many are cost restrictive. With a little luck & a consult with your family physician, you can lose approximately 30 lbs in 30 days for roughly $3 a pound using the hCG protocol. It has come to my attention that a commercial site outside of YouTube has a handful of hcg'ers videos linked to their site in such a way as to (in my opinion) imply we all lost weight through them, managing to post the videos in such a way as to NOT link to our additional videos as MOST external sites do. (which would undoubtedly tip off viewers that none of us had used them while on the hCG protocol) They DO have a comment on their main page, but I believe it's worded in such a way as to intentionally be evasive. To quote - "...watch the videos - all of people just like you - who have already experienced success utilizing components of our program." WatchUsShrink lists some pricey "phase one" kits ranging from $199 to $599 - well, I'm not even sure what phase one is, so I obviously didn't need to do it to lose 30 lbs in 32 days. The other site wants you to use one of their labs for blood work before they write you a script for hCG, which you then have to take to one of their affiliated pharmacies. Since when wouldn't ANY board certified lab or pharmacy do? I believe the same tests are usually covered by insurance as part of an annual physical. They claim the blood tests are so they can alert you to possible medical conditions, just how thorough they can be without seeing you face to face, checking your blood pressure & pulse or having you turn your head and cough - is up for interpretation. I'm a tad bit peaved that a commercial site would use my videos without contacting me for permission, and outraged in the misleading way in which I feel they were used. It's my humble opinion that unethical tactics such as these are exactly the reason why the hCG protocol, though quite effective - has been met with much resistance & skepticism. - Tim delmem I'm often asked WHERE to get the supplies needed to start the protocol. Due to time restraints with individual e-mails, here's the skinny - reliable & competitive pricing, but be aware delivery time averages 2-3 weeks : hCG: http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s33559-s-HCG-PREGNYL-98904-s.aspx PLEASE use coupon code 98904 when ordering the hCG.
