Need encouragement....no loss?

The spray hhcg definitely works, but it can be erased if it's near a strong magnet for a long length of time. I'm not sure how it works w/ the drops.

[CaTriGirl]

LL & S&S - I'm a totally newbie, but have you tried the apple or steak day?

[dawnyama]

Oh, yes, thin. The homeopathy cannot be near electromagnetics. I think your spray is homeopathic as well. So that makes it the same!!! They say to stay away from laptops, x-ray machines. All those things. I forgot about that! I keep mine in the cabinet. Nothing there that can effect it like that!

[Healthy and Happy]

Also refrigerators and cell phones!

Well, maybe that is the problem!!

When I am at work, my bottle stays right beside my docking station so I can remember to take it. And my cell phone is on the other side of my bottle, so it is sitting right in between my cellie and my laptop.

[LeanLioness]

Where did you learn these things???????????

[dawnyama]

My first bottle of homeopathic hcg came with a whole sheet of instructions. Which, of course, I can no longer remember where I put it!!! But it was on there!! Along with the mint thing, activating the drops, waiting the 15 mins before and after yada, yada, yada.....

My bottle didn't come with anything except a receipt and the instructions say: One dropper full under the tongues two times daily. Shake Well.

[LeanLioness]

Should I reload like my Dr suggested and start over?

[Healthy and Happy]

I would recommend the spray. It's made with a different process than the drops and you can be sure it works. It came with instructions not to be near any electromagnetics and no mint or coffee because the oils in those 2 things interfer with the hhcg. Yours is likely ruined from being in constant contact with the laptop and cell phone. Sorry!

Oooh and the shaking--that is a no-no too with homeopathics. It should be gently tapped from the bottom. No shaking--hcg is fragile!! No need to start over, just pick up from where you are with your new drops and proceed with the new info you are learning now!

I did not know about the coffee and had done an experiment with it. I lost the same with coffee and without. So I kept it in my plan. Didn't want to have to do without!! But I was warned about the mint! Switched to Cinnamon toothpaste and was fine with that.

[CaTriGirl]

Eeeeks! I didn't know about the shaking. I have shaken. I wonder if I ruined mine now. Maybe that is why I am so hungry I am ready to chew my arm off!

I'll give it a few days and see if I lose anything. The hunger has to go away at some point. I'm getting grumpy and counting down the time to go to bed so I can sleep this off.

Also keep it away from strong smelling things like Potpouri, essential oils, etc. And not to keep it under the bathroom sink where its near mold. I'm thinking that is more for long term storage, since we go through a bottle fairly quickly.

[Gilded Lily]

My instructions say not to eat/drink for 15 minutes before and after dosing. It also said coffee was ok on the protocol. But, I'm wondering about the coffee now. Will the oils in the coffee interfere somehow?

I did an experiment one round to see if coffee was slowing my losses. I cut it out for a week and nothing happened!! I therefore put it back into my P2 diet plan. It was not making my losses any slower or faster. You could try that experiment too if you wish! HTH!!

Um, no, I'll take your word for it. I NEED my coffee!

I know!! I probably could have just trusted the experiment after 2 or 3 days. But I wanted to be fair!! A week was indeed a long time

[silkandsand]

Good grief! This is good information! Mine said nothing about not shaking, mint, coffee or electronics! Thankfully, I think I am ok but I'm really glad I was warned about the mint and electronics. I will stop keeping my drops on my desk (by computer) or in my purse (by my cell phone.)

UGH. I wish I had known all of this sooner. Maybe we should have a thread specific to HHCG tips?

But you still have to activate the drops. That is how they term it!! Activate. You hold the bottle with one hand and with the other you gently pat, or pop, the bottom of the bottle 10 times. No shaking--very fragile stuff you are dealing with!! That thread is an awesome tip!! We should do that!!!! I will look for that sheet of paper and see if I can scan it in the computer.

"If this bottle doesn't work then I am going to be forced to do the injections............says my doctor!!!"

You could do sublingual Rx hcg.

Another tip! My bottle had no instructions like this!

But it seems like everyone's drops are all working equally well!

This is not my understanding of homeopathy. The more times it has been diluted the stronger it is so the higher the number the more potent the remedy. And then of course you also get into the X, C etc.

From the internet



"Potency refers to the strength of the remedy. The number behind the name of the homeopathic indicates the dilution and the strength of the medicine. The higher the number, the stronger the action of the remedy. For example, 30C is stronger than 12C, and 12x is stronger than 6x.

There are two common scales of homeopathy available in the marketplace. "X" means the lowest potencies used. X stands for a 1 in 9 dilution. So 1x is equal to 1 part of the original substance diluted in 9 parts solvent. Many stores carry the 6x and 12x potencies for the remedies.

In keeping with the third law of homeopathy, in which remedies become stronger the more they are diluted, "C" is more dilute and stronger than the X potencies. The first dilution-that is, 1C-is equal to 1 part of the original substance in 99 parts of solvent. Many stores carry the 12C and 30C potencies for the remedies."


Not that it really matters I guess as long as the drops are working for you. But it could matter if you were trying to treat something else with homeopathic medicine.

[j4Christ]

Wow! Glad to read all these hhcg tips. So far until I start I have stored my drops in my scary closet (the closet only I attempt to go into) so I think I'm okay. I will have to figure something out when school starts again as far as where I will keep them so I remember to take them!

About the mint, I bought the cinnamon toothpaste, but realized that my lip gloss that I LOVE is mint infused (Burt Bee's). Wonder if I should switch?

You are right! I don't know what I was thinking when I bought mine. I think I was just so excited, I wasn't thinking. I won't say who it was, but the website mentioned, they now have 3x which is stronger than 6x.

Now it makes me wonder if they know what they are doing! That is a very basic component to homeopathy and the whole basis for how it works. Usually I don't mess with potency's, my sister is a homeopath, and just tells me what to take and I listen. BUT she doesn't know I'm doing this, so I couldn't consult her.

[cookie34]

The ones I bought say HCG 12x, 30x, 60x... what in the heck does that mean?

[CaTriGirl]

Does it have a list of ingredients under it?
Mine says 3x, 6x, 12x, 30x, 60x -
HCG, adrenal, fat metabolizers, colloidal minerals, purified water base

I'm thinking, it is the amount of the ingredients below, but I could be wrong. I don't now why the purified water would be succused.

[cookie34]

I don't see that is says anything.

[CaTriGirl]

Hmmmm. I have no idea. Sorry.

[sassy_red]

Aw crap, no shaking? Dangit, I've done that a few times already. Hope I haven't ruined anything....

My drops say the active ingredients were (hCG) 6X, 12X, 30X, 60X Human Chorionic Gonadotropin; inactive ingredients are USP Ethanol Alcohol 16%. I take mine 6x a day, 6 drops at a time.

I think there are a lot of sites out there that are selling the hhcg that don't know anything about homeopathy. There are also several quite good ones. I buy my drops from a lady who really seems to know her stuff. But every time I see someone say that the 3X is stronger because it hasn't been diluted as much, I cringe. It violates the most basic law of homeopathy and the sites that are reinforcing that notion are not doing their customers any favor.

I wonder if they are making more profits that way. If the wholesale price for the 3X which is the weakest Hhcg is cheapest and then they turn around and market it as the strongest and maximize their profits. Or maybe they are just genuinely clueless. Who knows!

Anyway, good luck on your hhcg journey!
