Proceed carefully: Being a cancer survivor you should be very careful introducing hcg, which is human Chorionic Gonadotropin , a hormone found in the urine of pregnant women into your body. Please consult with a physician and thoroughly discuss this before you go down this path.

Don't worry: This is an extreme calorie restricted diet -- which is the only reason it works -- and you also spend a chuck of money for a placebo "hcg". I am glad you seems to have had a favorable outcome with your tumor and hope you will improve the quality of your survival by taking an interest in real physical fitness, not fad diets. You deserve the best -- give yourself this gift.
