Numerous modern studies have found that ashwagandha is very effective in reducing inflammation, treating tumors, decreasing stress, increasing mental activity, invigorating the body, and as an antioxidant.
Rhodiola
Purported uses: Cancer treatment, Cardiovascular disease, Depression, Fatigue
A 2002 review in Herbalgram, the Journal of the American Botanical Council, reported that over the years, numerous studies of rhodiola in humans and animals have shown that it helps prevent fatigue, stress and the damaging effects of oxygen deprivation. Evidence also suggests that it has an antioxidant effect, enhances immune system function and can increase sexual energy.
There are many benefits of pomegranate, but the benefits people seem to be the most interested in are: weight loss, anti-aging, and prevention of heart disease.
Acai, a dark purple berry indigenous to the Amazon rainforest, is a nutritious and powerful fruit, valued for its rich nutrients. With a high ORAC (oxygen-radical absorbance capacity) value - twice that of blueberries - Acai could be considered the berry of choice for good health.
Bilberry and other brightly colored foods such as blueberries, purple grapes, cherries and cranberries contain anthocyanins, which are thought to reduce blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce obesity in laboratory mice.
Blueberries are literally bursting with nutrients and flavor, yet very low in calories. Recently, researchers at Tufts University analyzed 60 fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant capability. Blueberries came out on top, rating highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals.
I recommend this product for people suffering from adrenal fatigue and menopause.

Beta HCG Ultimate
Our Beta HCG Cream includes not only the Beta HCG recommended in the protocol, but also other supportive ingredients that aid in targeting abdominal fat removal and support other organs during this time of rapid weight loss.
Arginine triggers the body to make protein and has been studied for wound healing, bodybuilding, enhancement of sperm production (spermatogenesis), and prevention of wasting in people with critical illnesses. It is a popular ingredient in many body-building products. In one study, arginine enhanced the function of muscle – helping muscles use calories more efficiently so that they did not end up as stored fat. This was accompanied by lower leptin and triglyceride levels, meaning that arginine is another tool that can support healthy leptin balance. Foods high in arginine include peanuts, sesame and sunflower seeds, crustacean seafoods, tuna, turkey, chicken, and spinach.
DHEA and Weight Loss
Testosterone and estrogen are not the only hormones implicated in weight gain. Low levels of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), a steroid hormone, have also been linked to increased weight gain. Virtually everyone over age 35 experiences a significant reduction in DHEA. Studies suggest that supplementing with DHEA produces beneficial body composition changes (Villareal et al 2000; Villareal et al 2004). Another study showed that DHEA decreased abdominal obesity and improved insulin action. Studies also showed that DHEA was associated with significant decreases in visceral and subcutaneous fat and improved insulin sensitivity (Villareal et al 2004).
Adrenal insufficiency is a condition involving low levels of adrenal gland hormones. Several studies suggest DHEA supplements may improve well-being, quality of life, and sex drive in people with adrenal insufficiency.
Of note, many of the patients on my protocol have noticed an improvement in libido during the use of this product.

Maqui/Resveratrol/Acai the powerful antioxidant
This vitamin is all natural. Most of the ingredients can be found in a variety of foods such as cranberries, grapes, and blueberries. It provides a blend of the highest quality antioxidants that are known to fight cancer, joint inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. It also has a blend of the most effective weight loss supplements and aids on the market today. Resveratrol is thought to have some estrogenic activity, so if you are dealing with hot flashes and wish to avoid hormones, it would be a good supplement. Resveratrol is also thought to have blood sugar lowering properties. The Macqui is the highest antioxidant value of any known fruit. It helps to support healthy inflammatory functions, and healthy aging. This supplement also contains green tea and grapeseed extract.
The secret of green tea lies in the catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This substance is a powerful anti-oxidant which means that it inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It is proven that it is at least 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E at protecting cells and DNA from damage believed to be linked to cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses.
Besides that it also:
• kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue
• is effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels
• inhibits the abnormal formation of blood clots
I have recommended this supplement for my patients with bursitis, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions, and they have reported improvement with those conditions.
Grapeseed extract is prescribed by doctors in Europe for a variety of vascular disorders, collagen damage, water retention and arthritis. Grape seed extract also helps to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of leg cramps, varicose veins, diabetes, and numbness in the extremities

Grilled Lobster, George Forman/Recipes for the Beta HCG diet
Grilled lobster tail recipes can be as unique as you want. Creating grilled lobster tail recipes are so easy you will wonder why you did not try to create your own dishes before. The secret to cooking mouth watering lobster tails is in how long you cook. You never want to overcook your lobster tails. As soon as the shell is red and the tender juicy meat is white or opaque it is ready to serve.
All you have to do to create unique grilled lobster tail recipes is to crack the shell, open the shell in a butterfly style and then expose as much of the meat as possible. Now you can add your own ingredients.
1. Holding each lobster tail shell side down, cut away the ribbed membrane as close to the shell as possible with kitchen shears.
2. Remove lobster meat in one piece from each shell, rinse and pat dry.
3. Sprinkle each with lemon juice and set aside.
Whisk in salt, paprika, white pepper (or black or cayenne), and garlic powder.
Add to a bowl that contains enough water to cover the lobster tail, and add seasoning and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

Shrimp, Broth, and Jasmine Tea
If you like flowers, you will love the delicate, floral taste of jasmine tea.
Jasmine tea is a type of scented tea. To make scented tea, tea leaves are mixed with flowers until their perfume has been absorbed. The tea is then baked gently in an oven.
You can scent any kind of tea with jasmine: green, white, oolong or even black. However, the sweet, floral perfume of jasmine flowers tastes best with green tea.
Want to slow down the effects of aging and stay young? The antioxidants in jasmine tea can help protect your body against damage from free radicals.
Free radicals are oxidized molecules that have unpaired electrons. As they circulate through your body, they steal electrons from other molecules to replace the ones they are missing. This process can damage your body's cells. It is associated with the aging process.
Drinking jasmine green tea can help prevent damage from free radicals.
Drinking green tea can help you lose weight. This benefit has been attributed to green tea's synergistic combination of caffeine and antioxidants, especially EGCG.
A high quality jasmine contains the same blend of antioxidants and caffeine as high quality green tea.
It is especially good for dieters because of its naturally sweet taste. Even people who would normally add sugar or honey to their tea often find that they enjoy jasmine tea without it.
Jasmine tea may help you lose fat by helping your body absorb less fat and cholesterol.
In aromatherapy, jasmine essential oil is believed have a tranquilizing effect. Now, scientific research has confirmed that the smell of jasmine does indeed act as a mild sedative.

Marinated Vegetables
You can add to the vinegar marinade seasonings like oregano, basil, thyme, fennel seed, white or black pepper corns, coriander seed, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, ginger and you can also add a packet of splenda for a touch of sweetness.
Add water to the vinegar mixture (I used apple cider vinegar) for a 2:1 ratio.
You can use vegetables like cucumbers, radishes, celery, asparagus, fennel, or tomatoes, which are all allowed on the beta HCG diet.

Essure procedure
Essure is a permanent birth control procedure that works with your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy. This procedure can be performed in a doctor's office or as an outpatient procedure.
Essure is covered by most insurance providers, and if the Essure procedure is performed in a doctor's office, depending on your specific insurance plan, payment may be as low as a simple co-pay.
Essure offers women what no birth control ever has
No surgery, burning or anesthesia
No hormones
No slowing down to recover
Performed in less than 10 minutes
Peace of mind - your doctor can confirm when you can rely on Essure for birth control
Essure is over 99% effective, making it the most effective form of permanent birth control available.
The Essure procedure is permanent and is NOT reversible. Therefore, you should be sure you do not want children in the future.
About the Procedure
Unlike other permanent birth control, the Essure procedure does not require cutting into the body or the use of radiofrequency energy to burn the fallopian tubes. Instead, an Essure trained doctor inserts soft, flexible inserts through the body’s natural pathways (vagina, cervix, and uterus) and into your fallopian tubes. The very tip of the device remains outside the fallopian tube, which provides you and your doctor with immediate visual confirmation of placement.
During the 3 months following the procedure, your body and the inserts work together to form a natural barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. During this period, you must continue using another form of birth control (other than an IUD).
After three months, it’s time to get an Essure Confirmation Test to verify you’re protected from the worries of unplanned pregnancy. The test uses a dye and special type of x-ray to ensure both that the inserts are in place and that the fallopian tubes are completely blocked.
Unlike birth control pills, patches, rings, and some forms of IUDs, Essure does not contain hormones to interfere with your natural menstrual cycle. Your periods should more or less continue in their natural state.
