| Consent
For Treatment With hCG and/or Lipotropics |
Please
initial each section to indicate that you understand
each topic.
Do not initial if you desire more information. |
Proposed Treatment:
The SlimXpress ™ Protocol is for the
reduction of excessive weight. A key component
of the protocol is the use of hCG (Human Chorionic
Gonadotropin). The hCG will either be administered
orally or through an injection. The use of HCG
for weight loss was first identified by A.T.W.
Simeons, M.D. in the 1960s. The publication
of his book, Pounds and Inches. The New Approach
To Obesity in 1969 has made his protocol available
globally. The therapeutic protocol used in this
program does not exceed the hCG dosing recommended
by Dr. Simeons. This protocol does include dramatic
calorie restriction
during the rapid weight loss phase. |
|
Anticipated
Benefit
The SlimXpress ™ protocol is designed
to yield rapid weight loss, often reported at
1/2 to 1 pound per day during the weight loss
phase of the program. Our protocol includes
several features to help assure the maintenance
of lean muscle mass during the rapid weight
loss phase.
By bringing your weight into a more healthy
range (BMI of 18 to 23 for men and 20 to 25
for women) the benefit would include improvement
in the body’s maximum functioning with
a well known decrease in many health concerns
including, but not limited to, risks of developing
cancer, diabetes, heart disease and high blood
pressure. |
|
Risks
and Complications
Possible side-effects of hCG may include
transient headache or allergic reaction. When
an injection is administered there is always
a risk of infection at the injection site. The
use of hCG for other medical treatments is at
a much higher dosage (as is used during fertility
treatment for both males and females). There
is no evidence that the use of the small doses
in Dr. Simeons protocol has any effect on increasing
or decreasing fertility.
For clients with high blood pressure who are
on medication there is always a concern that
they may require a decrease in the dosage of
medication as they lose weight because of a
natural improvement of blood pressure. For clients
with diabetes who are on medication or insulin
there is always a concern that they may require
a decrease in the dosage of medication as they
lose weight because of a natural improvement
in blood sugar levels. For clients who are prone
to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) there is a
risk that their blood sugar may become low at
different times during the day. |
|
Pregnancy
and Breastfeeding (female client)
The use of hCG in the doses used in our protocol
will not have any known effect on the client’s
ability to become pregnant. We do not start
treatment on a pregnant woman. If a client becomes
pregnant during the treatment she is to notify
our office and discontinue treatment during
pregnancy and breastfeeding. Treatment will
not be started while a woman is breastfeeding
By signing this consent I assert that I am not
pregnant or breastfeeding. |

FDA
Disclaimer
The FDA has not approved hCG for weight loss;
it’s use for weight loss is consider an
“off label” application. The use
of hCG has not been demonstrated to be effective
adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity.
There is no substantial evidence that it increases
weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric
restriction, that it causes a more attractive
or “normal” distribution of fat,
or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort
associated with calorie restricted diets. |
|
Additional
Nutrients
The client chooses which delivery system of
hCG they would prefer: by mouth at home or by
subcutaneous injection at home. If the client
chooses to visit a clinic location, the hcg
may be administered by an intramuscular injection.
When the hCG is given by intramuscular injection
at the clinic it is mixed with a form of Vitamin
B12 to help assure slow release over several
days. In addition, at the clinic locations,
the doctor may recommend the use of additional
nutritional substances given intramuscularly
to help further stimulate fat metabolism. The
additional substances may include B vitamins,
amino acids, essential and non-essential nutrients
that work in conjunction with the hormone, hCG. |
|
| I
have carefully read and initialed the preceding
sections of this consent for treatment with
hCG. I understand that the use of hCG for weight
loss is not approved by the Food & Drug
Adminstration. My questions have been answered
satisfactorily by the doctor and doctor’s
associates. With this knowledge, I voluntarily
consent to the use of hCG. I realize that the
doctor nor any personnel of SlimXpress ™ has made no absolute guarantees to me regarding
cure or improvement of my condition. I understand
that I am free to discontinue participation
in this treatment program at any time. I agree
to the use of arbitration to settle legal controversies
that may arise as part of my treatment program. |
