Intro, observation and discount coupon...

June 5, 2007

Hi Everyone!

My name is Rick. I am new to the group. I wanted to thank all of you

for all of the incredibly helpful information that is located in the

files section. All I can say is WOW... it answered all of my

technical questions!

I have done my research and am ready to start the program. From what

I have been able to surmise, it seems like drugdelivery.ca is the

outfit to go with. Am I correct on this? Although price is

important, I don't mind paying a little more if I can trust the

company. I really like that they carry the smaller vials as I don't

feel comfortable mixing a big batch and then having it sit around. I

also researched all of the supply companies and " research supply "

seems to be the one that I feel most comfortable with. Their prices

also don't seem that bad. If anyone has any better suggestions on

either count, I am definitely interested in hearing your opinion.

With that said, I found a coupon on-line for drugdelivery.ca (#73979)

Its a dollar off. Its not doing to make it or break it but hey, its a

dollar on my side! LOL It will at least take a little bit off of

the bite of the expensive shipping.

A little on my path to HCG...

I was on bontril for 5 years. Yes, it helped but it has totally

destroyed my metabolism. As in, there is none. Nothing like working

out hard for an hour daily, walking for an hour daily, watching what I

eat very closely, and then watching the scale sit in the same spot

week after week. Its enough to drive anyone mad! LOL Mind you, I

stopped taking Bontril about 5 months ago, and my metabolism is still

wacky. So, in a desperate attempt to do something, I came across KT's

book, read it and I had my " AHA! " moment... he was describing me. I

am not fat all over... I am only fat in certain spots. Since I was so

used to losing weight with a medical center, I thought I would take

that route, particularly since it has to do with my health and an

obvious imbalance of some sort.

When I started this process, I decided to research GHI Medical in

Florida and do the program through them. Being with a bariatric

doctor for the past 5 years, I kind of knew what questions to ask in

order to determine whether they were a scam or where on the up and up.

After interviewing them at length, I gave them a thumbs down. First

off, the program is very expensive... particularly for a program in

which you are doing all of the work yourself. Its not like they even

have to ever see your face. After a couple of hundred dollars in

tests PLUS a form that a " primary physician " has to fill out (more

cost), then they charge you $399 as their fee plus $12 to process your

payment. I laughed and thought that for $400 PLUS dollars, they could

at least throw in the " process payment " fee. That left a little bit

of a tacky taste in my mouth. On top of this, they charge you $210

for the 6 weeks of medication. I was wondering if this would be

something specifically mixed for me. I specifically asked. Nope, same

" prescription " name brand HCG that you can pick up at any drug store.

This is where we get to the part that turned me off. As a patient, I

feel it is my right to get a prescription and handle getting my

medication on my own. They refused to do so, they insisted that I get

the drugs from them, and as an aside threw in that HCG is " in high

demand and impossible to find anyway. " That lie killed the deal for

me... with a prescription, you can get Pregnyl at CVS, Walgreens, etc.

So, as a company they force me to buy a bottle of Pregnyl that is

$49.00 at ANY drugstore (10,000 units) for $210 from them and then

wait around for it. In all fairness, I was so turned off by the bold

lie that HCG is impossible to find on my own that I did not verify

whether the $210 was just for the medication or if it included the

supplies also (syringes, etc.) But by the pitch they were giving me

(lady was a bit snippy) and their $12 " processing fee " charge which I

found ludicrous, I doubt that the $210 would get you anything other

than the bottle of medication. I just hung up the phone and just kind

of just sat there for a moment with my thoughts. I am all for

commerce and capitalism, but I have to take exception when someone

prays on the sadness, fear and insecurity of an overweight person. We

really go through a lot in SO many ways… didn't seem right that they

would sock me in my wallet and assume that I was a dummy that didn't

know any better. So being turned off by the process of going through

a medical facility, I vowed to hammer it out on my own and so here I

am!

As an aside, I am at 245 pounds now. I started my quest at 375 pounds

(yes, that first number is a 3!!! LOL) I got down from 375 to 315 on

my own and then from 315 to 245 with my diet doctor (and evil bontril

LOL) Now I am looking to finish this baby off and return to my college

weight. ))) I would like to get down to about 175-180, which is the

weight that I should be at. In all honesty, I have been sloppy about

it up until now and have gone for looooong periods of time of not

actively trying to lose weight. It has taken me from November 2001

until today to go from 375 to 245. I am now totally committed and

very ready to kick some butt! LOL

Looking forward to participating in the group and eventually reporting

my results... Since I am a " newbie " and still haven't purchased my

supplies, any advice or tips would definitely be most welcome!

Hi Rick and welcome to the group! I'm sure you will find lots of

support here.

I'm on my 4th week and I ordered my hcg from drugdelivery.ca and my

supplies from researchsupply.net. I had to order hcg 2 different

times because I will have to do at least 2 courses and I couldn't buy

it all at once. The 1st order came in exactly 14 business days and

the 2nd in 15 business days so I thought that was excellent. The

only thing I didn't like about them was their tracking system. It

doesn't work. I never could track my shipments online with the #

they gave me and when I called, they couldn't tell me either. I

really wouldn't worry unless it's been 14 days or you get a letter

from the FDA, lol. There have been some posts about hcg5000.com

lately. It's in the US so you wouldn't have to worry about customs,

but I don't know anything about them. My supplies were a few days

late, but they had a couple things back ordered.

Sounds like you've already come a long way. Good luck and best

wishes on your weight loss.

Hi Rick, Welcome to the group. Congrats on your accomplishements to date! You're going to love this diet. I urge you to do phase 1 first. I think it really makes a difference and increases the speed that you'll lose when in phase 2. I also like colonix and toxin out by dr natura for my cleanses. Its expensive but its a colon cleanse, liver, kidney, metals, and yeast cleanses all rolled up into two products. I bought them for 2 months, don't think 90 days are necessary. I'm also doing them through phase 2. And will do another type of cleanse for phase 3 if necessary. Are you on thyroid medication? If so ask your doctor to switch you to Armour thyroid its all natural and won't interfere with your weightloss. It was recommended to me by someone on another hcg group and it was excellent advice. I'm on it and losing fast 23lbs in 19 days and 48 yrs old. So its not cause I'm young. My metabolism was all messed up too from habitual dieting. You're going to love this and meet & exceeed your goals in no time! Have an awesome day! Sharon

Hi Sharon,Thanks so much for the kind welcome! :)I have been doing some aspects of Phase 1 already. Interestingly enough, I have been doing the Dr. Natura colon cleanse myself. Just the main colon one. I was going to do the whole kit and caboodle when I enter Phrase 3. The colon cleanse has not interfered with your Phase 2??? I was going to finish it up before I did Phase 2 as I was afraid that it would interfere with the process. I haven't been on any kind of medication for the past 5 months including over the counter and finally in the past couple of days have seen some improvement in my metabolism on my own. This has been through exercise (yoga, calisthenics and weight

lifting) daily walking for an hour, yerba mate tea, organic raw apple cider drinks, organic foods (as best as I can) and a gallon of water a day. So, you can see why I was SO frustrated after a few weeks of NO weight loss after totally doing my part. In the next day or so I will be ordering a shower filter as I think that will make a big difference.I will combine my research with any other advice from the group as to suppliers for all of the items for the protocol and will be purchasing everything this weekend. I will be doing 6 weeks at 200 iu. I want to finish up in time for my August vacation to the Florida Keys. I literally have not been seen in public without my shirt on since about 2000. Looking forward to being a normal, fit healthy guy. :)Rick Re: Intro, observation and discount coupon...

Hi Rick, Welcome to the group. Congrats on your accomplishements to date! You're going to love this diet. I urge you to do phase 1 first. I think it really makes a difference and increases the speed that you'll lose when in phase 2. I also like colonix and toxin out by dr natura for my cleanses. Its expensive but its a colon cleanse, liver, kidney, metals, and yeast cleanses all rolled up into two products. I bought them for 2 months, don't think 90 days are necessary. I'm also doing them through phase 2. And will do another type of cleanse for phase 3 if necessary. Are you on thyroid medication? If so ask your doctor to switch you to Armour thyroid its all natural and won't interfere with your weightloss. It was recommended to me by someone on another hcg group and it was excellent advice. I'm on it and losing fast

23lbs in 19 days and 48 yrs old. So its not cause I'm young. My metabolism was all messed up too from habitual dieting. You're going to love this and meet & exceeed your goals in no time! Have an awesome day! Sharon
