Is HCG the New Weight Loss Solution in
the Dallas, Plano and Arlington area?
Hirsch Clinic Established 1982/Albert Hirsch, M.D.
Although relatively new to the Dallas, Plano and Arlington area, the use of HCG for diet and weight loss has existed for some time. Utilized for more than 50 years, HCG has actually been a widely accepted weight loss tool in other countries. The use of HCG for weight loss has been an almost forgotten science in the United States for over four decades. The FDA did not see a need to approve HCG for weight loss in 1975, even though a physician named ATW Simeons, who had studied HCG for weight loss for 16 years in Italy, published his work in 1970 that clearly demonstrated HCG’s effectiveness in helping people lose weight quickly. Obesity was not a medical issue at that time, but infertility was; so HCG was approved only for fertility, studies of HCG for weight loss were not allowed, and a disclaimer about the lack of evidence for HCG assistance with weight loss was required. Now obesity is the single most important medical challenge facing us today, yet it seems that from some medical perspectives, we’re still back in 1975.
Medical Doctors in the United States, not just in Dallas, Plano, and Arlington frequently prescribe medications “off label” (not as the FDA originally intended), as they are ethically required to do what is best for their patients. HCG (the “pregnancy hormone”, not “growth hormone”) is a very potent appetite suppressant. More important, however, is the way it mobilizes stored “bad” fat when a patient goes on a proper caloric restriction diet. This fat is used by the body as fuel, and a bloodstream “full of fuel” further suppresses one’s appetite. The Hirsch Clinic HCG Protocol, (created by Albert Hirsch, MD with his Nutritionist during a 14-month trial with 50 test subjects), including the “allowed foods”, has been customized to maximize effectiveness and improve patient compliance. The information previously available was outdated, inaccurate and too complicated.
Can my weight loss on the HCG program be enhanced?
Often, yes. Many patients enter an HCG program with a metabolism that is not functioning optimally. Dr. Hirsch is highly skilled in the art of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Proper history & lab tests will reveal these imbalances. When the metabolism is in balance, the rate of fat loss with the HCG program is maximized. With a properly supervised HCG diet, our patients typically lose 4-7 pounds a week, without the loose skin usually associated with rapid fat loss, because HCG also enhances skin turgor (elasticity).
All this, without surgery or significant amounts of exercise!
Can the HCG diet have dangerous side effects? Can the use of HCG for weight loss lead to serious medical problems, if not properly supervised by a physician?
Absolutely, YES. That is what makes engaging in an HCG program with Dr. Hirsch so important! HCG, when used in larger doses (as in fertility treatment), can have a couple of serious, though rare complications. Also, many other medical conditions and bodily functions can be altered, becoming potentially dangerous for the patient (even at the very small doses used for weight loss). Many local HCG weight loss clinics in the Dallas, Plano and Arlington area claim to have “medical supervision,” but this is frequently untrue. The “physician” has merely allowed the “clinic” to use his signature to obtain HCG, but has no direct patient involvement, has never even evaluated or treated patients at all (such as an anesthesiologist, radiologist, etc.), and knows little to nothing about HCG Weight Loss. Interestingly, some of these clinics have even purchased Dr. Hirsch’s HCG weight loss protocol, but are unable to utilize it in a manner that is both safe and optimally successful for their patients. Some even claim credit for the research and refinement.
Dr. Hirsch has been a Primary Care Physician in the Dallas area for over 30 years. Prior to offering HCG for weight loss to his patients, Dr. Hirsch conducted a 14 month study with 50 test subjects, revealing several potential medical problems that were not available in any previous literature. Dr. Hirsch knows how to address and prevent them. Pre-Program Lab Work, a Physical Exam, and Medical History Review not only allow for proper modifications to current patient medications, but signal precautions to avoid any problems. Dr. Hirsch is one of only a few doctors in the Dallas area who knows how to deal with these issues. He treats many patients who have experienced problems with other HCG programs and are told “maybe they should see a doctor!”
