DEar Dr. KEndra and CAge,
I've lost 5#'s in 5 days on homeopathic HCG. No real desire to binge. Felt strong and not tired.....but my B/p has raised from 118-124/ 69
to as high as 148/88. I'm on Lopressor for PVC's for one year...so weirdly I was taking just 1-2 LoPressors a day prior to the HCG remedy...and once on the HCG had to take 3 LoPressors a day but the afternnon and pm B/P didn't fall...as if athe LoPressor had no effect.
I felt heavy heart pounding and didn't slee p that great. DId have to get up 2x's a nite to void...but the heart pounding was an annoyance.I think Dr. Cage said that HCG puts one into a hyperthyroid state.
(Unfortunately I have a Rx. for thyroid test but didn't do it before I started the HCG.)
I have a 20+year Hx. of being supersensitive/allergic, etc. And so far have not tolerated most meds or homeopathics. HOmeopathic drs. have put me on a few gtts/pellets of a remedy and dissolve in a cup of water and take only a tsp. of that.
Alot of my reactions involve heart pounding or rapid pulse(did not have that) no sleep, etc. I hate to give up the HCG yet as I did have some + benefits...felt strong, wt. loss, not tired,....so any thoughts on maybe what I could do?
If I go off HCG...for how long....till I can do the thyroid test?
Could I try a few gtts of HCG formula in the water method?
DO you know if anyone sells just a 6c/x of HCG?
I had heavy heart pounding to the LIver/GB rx. and stopped after 5 days..all symptoms went away. I did not lose weight on it.
So I have lots of questions...trying to work something out..I want to lose this weight!!! Thanks........jotales

I would have to do more research on that to see if people have experienced that. The good news is there are many natural ways to support a low-functioning thyroid gland.

Thanks for your reply. I know this hasn't been studied to be said for sure, but do you think that its possible that the thyroid could reset itself by means of the hypothalmus getting reset? (I am asserting that from Pounds and Inches).

Is there an update to this? I am quite curious about the effects on HCG and thyroid.

Thanks.

Dr. Cage HAndout Confusion

Thanks Dr. Kendra.....knew you were sick last week and thought you were behind....so thanks for answering. IN the meantime,I did sign up for a coaching session.

I thought I had read it somewhere...yes in the Dr. Cages' HCG HAndout:

"Q. if someone is taking thyroid medication, should they not take HCG?
A. Hcg has the effect of causing the body to induce a hyperthyroid state, so if you are taking thyroid medication, the contradiction of effect may cause reduced overall weightloss, but will still be effective......

NOW I remember when I read this..I became confused and wondered if this was not an error....a typo? Because if HCG was hyperthyroid in effect and one was on thyroid...seems to me they would lose weight faster yet...and may actually need a reduction in their thyroid dose.
I don't know how to do audio from my p.c. but I almost want to say that I thought Dr. Cage said hyperthyroid during the call... (though I may have not heard him correctly-hearing trouble) because I immediately thought...uh,oh! wonder how that eill effect my heart as I suffer alot from rapid or bounding heart. well, I"ll find out!...
So you might want to check into this and see if there is an error.

First let me apologize for not responding sooner. Dr. Marci sent this to me the same day you posted it and this is how far behind I am in my email. I wonder if your blood pressure is due to water retention.

Some people need less sleep on HCG but the heart pounding is not a good sign. Dr. Cage said HCG puts one into a HYPOthryoid state not hyper. A low calorie diet can slow one's metabolism like hypothyroidism does but the effects are counteracted by the HCG.

If I go off HCG...for how long....till I can do the thyroid test?

I don't see how the thyroid test is going to make a difference in this case but you should still get it done as everyone should know their thyroid status.

Could I try a few gtts of HCG formula in the water method?

Yes. Try whatever has worked for you in the past.

DO you know if anyone sells just a 6c/x of HCG?

The more you dilute the potency, the stronger it becomes.

I had heavy heart pounding to the LIver/GB rx. and stopped after 5 days..all symptoms went away. I did not lose weight on it.

This is not a weight loss formula. It is designed to prepare and support your liver as toxins are mobilized from the fat stores with HCG.

I can talk with you more about this in a coaching session.
