Real HCG vs Homeophathic HCG

I am very concerned about the info I just learned on a website that hhcg is not good for you. That it doesn't reset your hypothalmus and it puts you in starvation mode where you lose muscle etc etc. does anyone know anything about this?

I would concur, the research shows many of the so-called homeopathic distillations don't even have the echo of the substance diluted into it (thus it isn't a true homeopathic) and arguably the homeopathic formulas are placebo effect in action. Some gals lose on it just fine and stabilize, indicating it appears to be working on their bodies, but I wouldn't personally use such formulas (even though my own mother does and has had wonderful success).

But the proven, studied effects of hCG relate to the prescription serum, not a homeopathic formulation, and that's what I have used with great success. That isn't to say hhCG doesn't work, but the results vary wildly and I wasn't convinced enough to try it. I have had two wonderful round of prescription hCG and can heartily recommend it.

Yes I did, self-compounded and self-administered subcutaneous injections of 125 iU strength hCG solution. To be fair, though, all my future rounds will be sublingual. It is as effective, with less immunity, and less pain. That said, it is also slightly harder to be sure of the absorption, which is why the dose frequency is different than the injections.

Tell me about this TTap. I heard of it once at a conference I attended. I have a muffin tummy and lots of hanging skin. The lady who told me about it said that it would help pull up some of the loose skin and there's something about brushing and taking alfalfa supplements? Thanks for any input.
