Simeons cure

A special hormone produced by the body itself is able to stimulate fat burning, and above all in the problem areas. With an accompanying fat-free diet, a loss of 5 to 10 kg is possible within weeks. A real chance for all those who have been “failures” up to now.

The natural hormone diet was developed by Dr. Simeons more than 40 years ago. It is a long-established, very successful cure for reducing weight in a natural way. It uses the natural placental hormone, which is produced in the body above all during pregnancy, for weight reduction. It mobilises the diet-resistant fat pads (body depots), which cannot be mobilised even by a change of diet or by sport. It is these depots that stand in the way of an optimal figure.

In the Simeons cure, small amounts of hormone are injected under the skin, in the same way as insulin in diabetics. This small dose produces a fat-reducing effect, as a rule without side effects. For this reason the diet can also be used successfully in men. The cure works only as a combination of a daily dose of hormone and a special diet. It is limited to 4 to a maximum of 6 (to 8) weeks. Despite the reduction in calories during this time, you are physically able to work normally, do not suffer from hunger (a further effect of the hormone injections) and can take part in sporting activities.

As a rule, a weight reduction of 5 to 8 kg in 4 weeks is possible, and without a “yo-yo effect”, which means that the result lasts for some time. In the longer term the patient learns to deal with their natural disposition and to control their weight. Following the hormone cure we recommend dietary advice in order to maintain the desired weight permanently.

The hormone diet is particularly recommended for problem areas with poor connective tissue that is prone to cellulite. Before the cure begins there is a detailed discussion and a medical assessment. A regular weekly check-up in the practice monitors the course and success of your cure.

The Seegarten cure optimisation (optional)

• It is now known that hidden food intolerances can lead to unwanted weight gain. These are identified and eliminated from the nutrition programme / replaced.
• Dietary fibre is certainly an important and healthy part of our diet. However, if we suffer from an abnormal colonisation of the gut and have too many of the bacteria called “Firmicutes”, then suddenly calories are produced from the fibre, and as much as 250 kcal a day! A simple stool test gives us the answer here.
• The hormone used in this cure could lead to increased production of testosterone, above all in men. This is converted into oestrogen in the fatty tissue and will thus only further promote fat deposition. This conversion can be effectively countered with a special plant-based cream, which is applied to the skin daily.
• We have developed a special bath additive which helps to burn calories or to reduce the appetite.
• Iron deficiency can slow down fat burning in the mitochondria. As a result more sugar has to be burned, and a craving for sweet things arises. Iron infusions can work “wonders” here.
• With a special micronutrient mixture, fat burning in the mitochondria can be promoted further.
• For all those who also want to take up sport: with a special lactate stress analysis it is possible to evaluate the quality of fat burning and also to calculate the optimal fat-burning pulse.

Everything about the HCG cure in English...

On this page you can order complete sets for carrying out the HCG cure on your own. If you do not yet have any “injection experience” of your own, these self-experiments are strongly discouraged. It must also not be forgotten that a hormone is being injected. The cure should therefore, as a matter of principle, take place only under medical supervision. Experience has shown that expert support also leads to markedly better results.

Here in our clinic, weight and measurements are regularly checked, recorded and, unless you decline, also photographed.

Procedure

Your cooperation and your understanding are important for the success of the cure and for achieving a good weight loss. The daily injections during the prescribed duration of the cure may be interrupted only after consulting the doctor, so that the result is not impaired.

Medication: Whether you continue to take prescribed medication is agreed with the doctor. The contraceptive pill should not be stopped. During the HCG cure, the likelihood of conceiving may be increased without the pill.

The times of the meals in the diet plan are to be kept to whenever possible. Meals may be skipped but not “made up for” later.

DURATION OF THE TREATMENT

The minimum duration is 3 weeks. If intense hunger occurs during the cure, this can be a sign that the cure should be stopped. This must be reported to the doctor without fail. Dietary errors can likewise trigger hunger reactions.

THE INJECTIONS

The HCG injections must be given daily, deep into the skin, and in the morning (acts as an appetite suppressant)! It is best to inject where as little (or less) fat as possible has been deposited, for example in the thighs or upper arms. In the case of saddlebags, the injection can also be given into the abdomen. If the injection is given into larger fat depots, the HCG is not absorbed sufficiently. As a rule, injections are given 6 days a week. For example, a break on Sundays. In this way the effect of the HCG remains at its maximum. HCG acts in the body for 3 days. This is also the reason why the diet must be continued for three more days after the last injection.

STORAGE AND USE OF THE SYRINGES

In dissolved form, HCG is prone to losing its effect. For this reason the ready-filled syringes must be stored for no longer than one week, and if stored, then in the refrigerator!

In the practice you receive 6 ready-filled syringes each time, that is, enough for exactly one week.

MENSTRUATION

During your period, the injections should be interrupted for 3 days, starting with the first day. In return, however, the next regular “day off” can be dropped. The diet is continued unchanged during the break.

THE FIRST THREE DAYS

These are the so-called “fattening days”. Here you may eat as much as you like in order to fill up the easily accessible fat reserves. This is important so that feelings of hunger do not arise later. The injections are already given on these days.

FLUID INTAKE

At least 2 to 3 litres must be drunk per day. More in summer and in heated rooms. Only water or tea. No diet drinks (too much artificial sweetener), no milk (too fatty), no alcohol (fat metabolism, goes straight into the fat depot), coffee is allowed but does not count towards the amount of fluid.

PREPARING MEAT

Only in a Teflon frying pan or steamer, alternatively in fat-free stock in a wok or in roasting film in the oven. Eliminate fat.

FORBIDDEN

• Carbohydrates: pasta, rice, potatoes, bread, grissini (too fatty).
• Fruit: sweetcorn, stone fruit, bananas, grapes, sweet pears, persimmon
• Vegetables: carrots, beetroot, sugar peas, maize
• Fats: nuts, seeds, oil fruits (olives) Allowed: coconut oil
• Also: egg yolk, salad oil

Care products

• Forbidden: body oils and creams containing fat. All cream products, such as face, hand and foot creams, cleansers, shaving cream, body lotions, bath oils, massage oils, oily soaps, hair masks, hair gel, etc. Fat-free creams or lotion may be used for skin care.
• Allowed are sun cream from Ultrasun (oil-free), pomades and lipsticks, eye make-up and powder. Acerbin and other oil-free care products are available in the practice.

IMPORTANT

In the case of (intended) dietary errors, for example during holidays or when you are invited out, the injections are to be stopped three days beforehand and resumed the day after. Otherwise it can happen that you rapidly gain weight again despite otherwise eating correctly.

So:

• Fat-free diet + HCG >>> weight loss
• Diet containing fat and/or care products containing fat + HCG >>> weight gain

The meals

Breakfast

Tea or coffee, if necessary with no more than one tablespoon of milk per day. Larger amounts of milk or dairy products are excluded from this diet because of their fat content.

Problems during the cure?

Eaten the wrong things or too much

Have an apple day. Eat 6 apples (and nothing else!) spread over the day, drink plenty.

Fluid retention / water balance

It can happen that the weight stagnates because water has been retained in the body. In that case the consumption of salt is to be restricted (Mostbröckli / Bündnerfleisch). In extreme cases a diuretic tablet can be taken. This is, however, discussed with the doctor.

Plateau weight

If things have not been going “downhill” for some time, you are experiencing the so-called plateau phenomenon. In fact you are still losing weight, but the fat is being replaced by water. This phase can last from a few days to a maximum of 2 weeks. Then weight loss sets in again.

Hunger at night

Eat a slice of toast that you have saved before going to sleep. If you feel nauseous, a little glucose can also be taken. But this should remain the exception!

Pregnancy test positive

Pregnancy tests also detect HCG in the urine, the same as you inject during the cure. For this reason pregnancy tests must not be carried out until at least three days after the last injection, so that no false positive result is read.

Constipation

You are drinking too little! Otherwise, try a natural laxative without sugar:

• Papaya with seeds before going to bed
• Apple with pips, without peel
• Indian psyllium husks (Metamucil)

The follow-up cure

The follow-up cure lasts at least 3 weeks.

On the 4th day after the last injection, all care products may be used again.

Important: step on the scales at the same time every day. Fluctuations of up to one kilo are normal. The same food as during the cure, the amount may gradually rise to double. Only after that carefully add carbohydrates in small amounts. E.g. one slice of toast, a little basmati rice. Always keep an eye on your weight! If it is constant, then allowed again: carrots, beetroot, maize, sugar peas

If you do sport, you may eat a banana, a little rice or toast 1 hour beforehand.

CALORIE RULE OF THUMB Nutritional value

Group 1: meat, fish, chicken, low-fat cheeses, milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables (no dried fruit, few nuts, no sauces)

Group 4: bread, potatoes, rice, pasta

Group 6: alcohol, sugar

Group 8: butter, oil, meat fat, cream, ham

This means: for the same weight, the foods above are (depending on the group) 4, 6 or 8 times as nourishing as 1. They should be eaten in correspondingly smaller amounts.

In the first 3 weeks of the follow-up cure, group 4 is nevertheless more dangerous than groups 6 + 8, as it is consumed in considerably larger amounts.

If the weight rises by more than 1 kilo, breakfast (if it has been resumed) and/or lunch must be skipped on the same day, but you should drink plenty. Always ensure sufficient protein. Possibly 1 tomato or 1 apple

In the evening, a large steak or 300 g of tofu or blanc battu (protein intake) and a raw tomato or an apple must be eaten.

Do not forget: light sporting activity helps to maintain the result and your well-being.

DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS

A medical check-up should take place weekly.

As a rule, photographic documentation is carried out at the beginning and at the end of the treatment. In addition, body circumference measurements are taken every 2 weeks.

COSTS

The weekly costs can be found in the current price list. This price also applies if you (on occasion) forgo a consultation with the doctor.
