I do not sell hCG. I can't because I am not a pharmacist. I just sell the mix kit for sublingual hCG. You have to get your own hCG.
Looks like Gold Pharma and Steroid Portal are the only places you can still get hCG online (hCG is also used following steroids by the way). If I find some other places I will post. I know the Steroid Portal has been around since I started this diet myself years ago. Not sure of the others.
You can ask also your doctor to prescribe it (technically you should have a prescription anyway, though I know we don't always do that). Any of the pharmacies with a built in doctor should be able to prescribe it as well.
I would suggest you procure your hCG first and then my kit.
Norx Shop may work as well, but I'd like to see someone in the US order successfully from there first.
Why? The FDA decided that homeopathic hCG was unsafe to use, so they tightened the reins on hCG sales. Yes, Homeopathic hCG has NO hCG in it, so this was the appropriate action for the FDA to take. We don't use that method and agree that Homeopathic hCG is dangerous, but real hCG works great for everyone who uses it according to the Simmeons method.
So now, you can buy almost any other drug without prescription from the likes of AllDayChemist or Reliable Pharmacy, but harmless hCG is banned. Makes sense.

Dan's Sublingual hCG Mix & Diet
My "how to" on mixing sublingual hCG, using a self-developed approximation of the Releana formulation, with links to my helpful guides to do Dr. Simeon's "Pounds and Inches" Very Low Calorie Diet. And oh yah...I also blogged my experience.

Record Sales in January = 20% discount in February!
All,
In July 2010 I started selling a kit to make it easier for folks to do the Simmeons Protocol using a sublingual method. I figured that I could buy in bulk and add a little profit and still sell the kit cheaper than one could assemble it themselves. What I would be giving, in addition to at least a slightly cheaper price is peace of mind that you ordered everything you needed, and that it would come before your hCG order arrived, since I ship USPS Priority mail.
In September of 2010, I had my highest sales prior to last month.
Because I finally exceeded that sales point, I want to make this month (February) a month where I offer a 20% discount.
3 round kits will be $25.20 incl. S&H
5 round kits will be $30.00 incl. S&H
So, this month is a good month to start, to stock up for another push or to tell your friends about!!
02/25 update; I found an error in the way I charged for hCG kits and water and have fixed it and moved the shipping to a separate calculator, and that way I don't get charged by PayPal on it. It changed the total price just slightly.

Addressing the comment that alcohol breaks down the hCG and also colloidal silver is better.
All,
I have heard this enough now and addressed it individually that I think there may be a benefit to post it here. I got this question on my youtube video.
--------------------------------
How old is this video? Studies have shown that alcohol breaks down the HCG at an accellerated rate... should be using collodial silver...
[Mindy]
--------------------
[Mindy,]
The video is a year old.
Let me address your post;
Q) "Alcohol breaks down hCG"
A) True: [but only] at room temperature and under normal lighting conditions. This is not the condition that our hCG mix is kept under. It is kept in the fridge in an amber (or cobalt) bottle. [these two things together keep the alcohol from breaking down the mix in less than 40 days]
Keep in mind that Dr. Belluscuni developed the mix we use in the laboratory, and it was developed to last 40+ days.
It was then clinically tested by Bellscuni and then has been used for many years by [Millenium Health Spa - Releana] the company that bought his patent.
This [recipe] has been tested and proven effective over many, many years and [by] 10's of thousands of patients, and that is before I put my very first version of it out for free, and have added about 500 - 40 day trials that worked [for myself and to those] I have sold to.
Q) should be using collodial silver
A) Collodial Silver is dangerous and no one should be putting it in their body. There is so much evidence of this. Just go do a search for it and it is everywhere.
And by the way, people add hCG to Colloidal Silver and Vitamin B12 because they both already have a transport mechanism mixed into them.
Colloidal Silver uses wood grain alcohol as it's method of getting the mix into the bloodstream, which is very hard on the liver and kidneys.
At least with grain alcohol you have some moderation of effects on the body.

Zero Calorie Food and Drinks
I got an email today which I responded to and thought I would share as many of you may benefit.
From: Matt
Hey what's your take on miracle noodles?
[http://miraclenoodle.com/default.aspx]
------------
[Matt,
I] don't know anything, but I took a look and see that they are zero calorie, and one thing Dr. Simmeons does say is one may consume as much zero calorie food stuff as one desires while on the diet.
Thanks Dan Foss
--------------
What I can see on the Miracle Noodle website are people using it as a base to add to. That is a great idea for us on the VLCD. Use it as a base and add your 3.5 oz. of lean meat, 4.5 oz. of approved vegetables, and add your approved fruit on the side with the grissini, and you have a nice meal.

Fox News: Does the HCG Diet Work? Can taking pregnancy hormone make you lose weight?
Interesting that Jersey Shore and Fox News are talking about the REAL hCG diet!
I question her facts, but it is worth watching. I wish they would read Simeon's manuscript and do a little investigation first so they get the facts straight, but it is a positive review.
Watch it here:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/1179649841001/does-the-hcg-diet-work/
Maybe more people will use what I have seen as a very, very successful weight loss method.
BTW: I have always wondered if any celebrities were using my method. I know one professional singer in Japan, but don't know of others. I know I have shipped many kits to areas near Hollywood where celebs live.

The diet protocol in a nutshell
For the diet protocol, the thing to read is listed on the left on my blog in the links list.
It is called the Pounds and Inches protocol.
It is a very low calorie diet, coupled with taking a chemical the body produces when a woman is pregnant. This chemical is called hCG - Human Corianic Gonadotrophin. It is the chemical in a pregnant woman that is responsible for telling the hypothalamus to break the normal rules on fat utilization, and instead of using a last in first out approach, to just take fat proportionately from throughout all abnormal fat stores.
Dr. Simmeons, an Italian clinical physician, developed this method in the late 50's and honed it in the 60's into the late 70's when he retired.
It was an in clinic only method and he would only pass on the method to doctors who would come work with him in the clinic. At the very end of his career, he gave in to requests and wrote down the method in a manuscript.
His theories behind the what and why is that the hypothalamus, among many other tasks, tells the body where to store fat, keeps a record of where it was stored, and then tells the body how much to processes for energy requirements that come from stored fat.
The problem starts when, after months and even years of consuming too many calories, and the body having plenty of abnormal fat stores, the hypothalamus decides there is no longer a need to keep track of the fat stores, and instead place the computing power toward higher priority tasks.
So the problem becomes self perpetuating, because lets say you take a 3 story flight of stairs; at the top your hypothalamus notes a serious energy shortage and calculates how much energy to pull from fat storage based upon what you used to weigh when it stopped keeping track, so it thinks you weigh less than you do, doesn't pull in enough energy from fat storage and you get weak and the hypothalamus sees the issue, realizes there was a problem and compensates by turning on craving so you can consume the extra energy needed. So, you consume more than you need and the extra is stored and not tracked and the problem just got worse not better.
hCG in the system allows the majority of daily energy needs to be gotten from the fat stores because the body doesn't have to follow this method.
Your body does need a little energy from food intake to work, and thus the 500 calories per day balanced diet. This is for brain repair, muscle repair and a few other tasks.
Dr. Simmeons administered this diet with the hCG delivered by a shot. I don't like needles, so I developed a close approximation of a product developed to deliver the hCG under the tongue (sublingually).
There are a couple other things Dr. Simmeons noted; if one was to take the hCG at least 21 days and got down to weight, that when the body goes back to regular living, the hypothalamus will now keep track of all fat storage and the process will not return unless the body is overwhelmed with grossly excess calories over months or years.
Anyway, guys lose a pound to 2 pounds a day, so if one needed to lose 24 pounds, that is at most 24 days and at minimum, 21 days due to the last paragraph. If you lost 2 pounds per day, you'd get to your desired weight in 12 days, and then you'd do 1000 calories for the remaining 9 days, but keep taking the hCG.
I only sell a mix kit for the sublingual process. My kit costs $30 for three 40 day rounds, so $30 would do it. hCG has to be bought elsewhere. I have one I recommend because I have used them and I have been hearing good things about alldaychemist.com as well. The hCG costs vary. I usually go with others I know locally, and get a bigger shipment to bring the cost down, so you wouldn't have that price break unless you happen to know others you can go in with. For a round of hCG with shipping, I am guessing it will cost about $30. hCG takes a couple weeks to arrive, but I heard alldaychemist comes in a week.
This is not synthetic and whatever level of exercise you are doing, you can keep doing. Can't start, increase or decrease while on the hCG though because it take a week and a half to two weeks for the body to adjust the fat utilization and so it makes it too rocky while on such a low calorie diet. Start whatever level of exercise you want to do 2 weeks before starting or wait until you are done.

Update from Lisa - bit of hunger
Hey. This stuff is MAGIC!!
10 days 11 lbs!! Followed your advice: Chicken and tomato!
HOWEVER, I haven't been hungry at all up until today! Any ideas why I'm having some hunger pains?? HCG getting weak in fridge? Ha
Thanks
LISA
---------------------------
Lisa,
If you cheated at all, even just a teeeny bit, it comes back to haunt you a day and a half to 2 days later. The body is now expecting those calories. Just hold tight and it is gone after a meal and the body readjusts.
If not that, then try to really think about it. Is it an emptiness or real hunger? Most of what I thought of as hunger was an emptiness, and when I told myself that, it was easier to get through. By the way, when you do have real hunger, the difference it obvious, but also a surprise.
Diet soda or green tea (unsweetened or with zero calorie sweetener) will fill the emptiness.
Just remember that the body is not only using up the fat, but also disolving the cell and consuming it. Days that you have any hunger, end up being days that you lose the most if you don't cheat. You lose pounds, and then the body focuses a day on inches, so you lose size.

Anti-fungal, candida (yeast) treatment
At long last, here is the product I use and found to be most effective at battling an internal yeast infection:
Tai Ra Chi
Click the name and it will take you to the cheapest place I could find it online. That's cheaper than what I paid in my local store.

E-mail to Antonio - this is the diet and protocol in a nut-shell.
Antonio,
Some very important things to do with this diet for best results:
1) On days 1-3 of taking the hCG, you load. You have to really, really pork out to the extreme. Sweets, fats, and high calories stuff. This does two things, number one and most important is that it tops off the depleted normal fat stores in your body. They pad organs, feet, hands and joints. When we don't eat right, the body stops keeping track of where it stored the excess abnormal fat, so when you don't eat perfect and try to lose weight, the body takes the normal fat because it doesn't see the abnormal fat, and this is not healthy.
On any diet, the body will resist if the normal fat stores are not topped off first. Put it this way, it is trying to top them off while re-balancing caloric intake and fat utilization and can make for a rocky week or two up front if you don't really load well.
Second loading well will allow you to have big weight losses in your first week. This sets the pace of weight loss high and makes you get through the diet sooner.
2) Water. Drink plenty of it all through the day. You body is using the fat out of the cell and then what makes this diet unique is it is actually consuming the resulting empty cell. That's why it is called Pounds and Inches. You shrink proportionately until you consume all the abnormal fat generally, and then the concentration of consuming/shrinking goes to the places you easily store fat.
I suggest one cup of water at the top of every hour. You can drink coffee, tea or diet soda to your hearts desire, but drink that in addition to the water. On my blog, I have a web based calculator to figure out what exactly you need to consume based upon activity level and weight. Water is really needed when consuming the empty cell, and if you don't consume enough, the body retains water to help the task and your weight loss will be sporadic instead of consistent.
3) 3-1/2 ounces of LEAN meat at lunch and dinner (no breakfast or snacks). As lean of meat as possible. Again I have lists of the kinds of meat allowed on my blog (here). I just normally do boneless, skinless chicken breast and grill it with garlic salt and pepper or I fry in WATER on the stove. Can't use grease. No spices with sugars of any kind in them.
In addition to the meat, you eat an apple or an orange or half a grapefruit each meal too, and 4-1/2 ounces of non-starchy vegetables. I just eat one medium sized tomato because it is easy, but any leafy greens work, and there is a whole list (here) on my blog.
Finally, and this one is important, the 2 little grissini breadsticks at each meal that you can get at Publix (or other higher end food stores). This gives you just a little carbs. Enough to stave off craving. It is important. Don't skip it or you will feel like snacking, even though you aren't hungry.
4) Be consistent in when you eat your meals and when you take your hCG. And weigh every morning after you get up and take a leak. Good to record it for your psyche. You won't see drastic weight loss in the mirror. Others will who don't see you a lot through the week. You shrink proportionately at first. Your clothes will become noticeable looser in a hurry and the amount you lose is crazy (1-2 pounds a day for guys). At church the next Sunday, people will comment. Yes, that quick!
5) Listen, 500 calories from food doesn't seem enough, but it is. Here is why, your body has an all-you-can-eat buffet in abnormal fat. All the calories it could want or need. Without hCG it is just extremely hard to get to them, because you have to go into starvation mode first. The hCG in your system tells the hypothalamus, fat utilization just became of utmost importance and to break the rules and just use fat proportionately (you fooled it into thinking there is a baby being built, yes even though you are a guy - I guess the hypothalamus doesn't check that!).
500 calories is the minimum you need because the body uses externally consumed calories for brain function and muscle repair, which is a constant process, even just from taking stairs or dashing to catch a door causes the body to need to do a little repair.
Here is how you know the hCG is working like it is supposed to: On day 3, at the end, you have a bit of a euphoric feeling and plenty of energy. It is like a feeling of being content-well, it should make you content. For the first time in a long time you are getting enough calories right when you need the energy.
For me, at work I would take 3 flights of stairs (they are really like a double flight of stairs each floor, so like 5 to 6 stories). At the top, I would feel wasted and worn out. My heart would be pounding hard and I would be out of breath for like 5 minutes. Day one, day two, same thing. All of a sudden, day three and boom, I am up the stairs with energy! No heart pounding. No heavy breathing. I just ran way short of energy.
Here is why, your hypothalamus is responsible for many, many important functions. Fat utilization if one of them. Normally, whatever excess you eat, it stores and catalogs the location. Last in, first out. When we over-eat for a prolonged period of time, the body says, "Hey this is a waste of my time! Dudes never gonna starve to death, so no need to spend my valuable time keeping track any more." So when you take the stairs or dash to the car, your hypothalamus does it's job, "Let's see...he needs energy, so 3 flights of stairs, and he weighs 165 pounds, so I will dump this much stored energy from fat." However, in my case, I weighed 258 pounds and so, I was way short of energy.
Hypothalamus sees the shortage, and says, "Huh?" and compensates the short-fall by turning on craving. See you look lean when the hypothalamus checks the fat storage logs. "Dude is lean!" You go pig out and get the calories you need, you feel better, but you consumed far more calories than you needed and the problem just got worse.
So, that's it in a nut-shell. I recommend people read Pounds and Inches 2 times through prior to starting the diet, so they understand how this works, why it works and how it is different than any diet they have done.
Don't treat it like a normal diet. Do it as perfect as you can, and when you blow it, get it right and continue.
Thanks,
Dan

My heart would be pounding hard and I would be out of breath for like 5 minutes. Day one, day two, same thing. All of a sudden, day three and boom, I am up the stairs with energy! No heart pounding. No heavy breathing. I just ran way short of energy.
Here is why, your hypothalamus is responsible for many, many important functions. Fat utilization if one of them. Normally, whatever excess you eat, it stores and catalogs the location. Last in, first out. When we over-eat for a prolonged period of time, the body says, "Hey this is a waste of my time! Dudes never gonna starve to death, so no need to spend my valuable time keeping track any more." So when you take the stairs or dash to the car, your hypothalamus does it's job, "Let's see...he needs energy, so 3 flights of stairs, and he weighs 165 pounds, so I will dump this much stored energy from fat." However, in my case, I weighed 258 pounds and so, I was way short of energy.
Hypothalamus sees the shortage, and says, "Huh?" and compensates the short-fall by turning on craving. See you look lean when the hypothalamus checks the fat storage logs. "Dude is lean!" You go pig out and get the calories you need, you feel better, but you consumed far more calories than you needed and the problem just got worse.
So, that's it in a nut-shell. I recommend people read Pounds and Inches 2 times through prior to starting the diet, so they understand how this works, why it works and how it is different than any diet they have done.
Don't treat it like a normal diet. Do it as perfect as you can, and when you blow it, get it right and continue.

Yeast test
I was looking for the product I actually used to treat my intestinal yeast (Candida) infection and came accross the actual test I used at my local healthfood store.

If I find the product name, I will post it here.
The products they recommend are good and I used them early on, but it wasn't until I did the one I recommend that I really saw it conquered.
Each type attacks it in different ways. I felt the way I did it and the product I did it was very, very effective and would likely work the first time for everyone.
One thing is you want to go slow so your bloodstream isn't flooded with toxic yeast which taxes your kidneys. That's why the slow, raising a drop a day.
