HCG diet w/o proof: Regardless of whether you've fought off cancer or not, there is no accepted proof of safety & effectiveness regarding HCG diet. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/hcg-diet/an02091 & http://www.Webmd.Com/diet/features/truth-about-hcg-for-weight-loss. So save your money & spend it on healthy food & regular exercise. Check out mediterranean diet which has plenty of evidence of benefit.
