The FDA has written warning letters to companies manufacturing over the counter HCG homeopathic weight loss products.
HCG has not been approved by the FDA for weight loss.

Suzanne, thanx for the clarification, had just remembered that Someone talked about it, not sure what form they were interested in, and wanted to give a heads up.
I remembered too, but cannot remember who it was. I have it earmarked just in case they post about it again. Thanks, mindy for catching that... Mary
Sorry, minda, not mindy! Mary
Minda is birth cert, Mindy nick. not fussy.
Just gotta say after reading so many posts on so many drugs how insane this all is ... As humans we hate pain and will do almost anything to get rid of it, and the anticipation of pain is almost worst than the real thing, and the Drug companies feed the fears... and enslave us like guinea pigs. I feel like preachin about "what we Really are", not suits of flesh, but Spirits having a human/body experience. Living in that reality gives us back our power and control to some extent over the "body" issues. Be strong and perservere my friends.
Minda, such a beautiful & eloquent answer that fills me with hope. I'll be sure to refer to your post many times to help me persist. Thank you & kudos!
Mary, I've been looking for the last day for the other poster too. helpmehawaii had posted about taking hcg drops for weight loss. Could you please contact her if it's necessary? I appreciate you doing that for me, Mama Mary. LOL
All the best to you & your hubby!
Love, Wendy :)
