Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 This has nothing to do with toiletries, and is quite possibly another hoax/urban-legend. Regardless, it is considered completely inappropriate for this list according to the List Policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't know who your doctor is but she is totally off base. I am wondering if this message is from an anti-HCG troll. Regardless, it is total horse manure. Xena From: bri1105 <bri1105@...> Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 1:18:52 PMSubject: WARNING!!!! I lost about 30 pounds on this great diet and I was recentlydiscussing it with a doctor friend of mine. She said that IT IS VERYIMPORTANT THAT ANYONE WHO IS ON THIS TYPE OF DIET BE VERY CAUTIOUS! SHE SAID THAT ONE MUST HAVE AN EKG AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO MAKE SURETHAT THEIR "QT" LEVEL IS UNDER A 43...She said that the electric charge inside the heart changes on a lowcal diet and it can cause heart failure for some...SO get checked!!!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Actually, no I'm not an HCG troll...I'm told you I did this diet, am doing this diet as soon as I can get an EKG. In the mean time, it appears that you are an attorney, NOT a doctor. Right? Okay well, maybe YOU should get the facts yourself. My sister has heart problems and that is the only reason why I took what the lady told me as truth, cuz i'd hate to see my little sister DIE because I thought that I was smarter than a doctor. In some cases it's better to be CAUTIOUS than just assume something is bs. K...so what do you have to say about that XENA? > > I don't know who your doctor is but she is totally off base.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 My husband (a naturopath) says that the deficiencies that cause electrolyte trouble in the heart are because of WHAT the people are eating on the low cal diet. If that is a worry for you, make sure you are getting enough potassium and other electrolytes in the 500 cal diet. A person who has heart trouble to start with should be monitored by a physician while doing the hcg diet - maybe if the potassium is deficient, for example, a supplement could be taken. My husband usually recommends a protein drink that includes many vitamins and minerals which could help ensure that people don't have deficiencies that could lead to trouble with the diet. > From: bri1105 <bri1105@...> > Subject: WARNING!!!! > > Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2009, 12:18 PM > I lost about 30 pounds on this great diet and I was recently > discussing it with a doctor friend of mine.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Personally I have Bartter's Disesae with Gitelman's Variant... I have serious kidney disease where the filters of the kidney over filter and all of my potassium, magnesium, and calcium go bye bye. I take a lot of major prescription supplements for this and am checked regularly. The disease is one reason why I have heart problems. I'm monitored monthly. While I was on the HCG diet, I had no additional problems. This may not be the case with most. I think the most important thing to remember is that EVERYONE should have a physical to notify them of your plans to diet (whether you tell them exactly or not).
