So, yesterday morning I booked an emergency appointment to see the naturopath, because even though I am on the Candida Diet, and taking yeast killers, and doing a total detox at the same time, my skin is freaking out and I itch everywhere.

So. While I was there, not only did I get some homeopathic histamine, I also got a lipotropic complex to help out on the cleanse. AND, the most amazing thing of all, was introduction to a fabulous weight loss program.

The program is called hCG weight loss therapy. It’s based on the idea that the extra pounds are not necessarily due to eating badly or not exercising, but due to the metabolism being out of whack. The fat cells then store up mainly due to stress, and then they also store hormones, which can get you further out of whack. And this is the weight that just doesn’t go away no matter what you do. The belly especially carries most of this weight.

So, you get a daily injection and/or nasal spray that will cause your body to burn fat, about 1200-2000 calories per day, and you eat 500 in food. You don’t get hungry, because your body is using the “food” part of those fat cells, and you’re flushing everything else out of your system. FREAKING AWESOME. This program is recommended for people who have no explanation for weight gain, or despite diet and exercise, maintain the same weight and/or continue to gain. I will update on how this turns out, but I’m REALLY excited about it. The cost is very reasonable as well.

I love going to see the Naturopath. I have nothing against Western medicine, but I can honestly say that the have done more for me in 4 visits than regular doctors have done for me in 10 years. If you have any persistent problems with health, even if they are subtle, I highly recommend a visit to one! Now THAT’S something I wish health insurance would pay for. They get results!

It used to be that if the doctor didn’t cure you, or improve you, they didn’t get paid, but was in the old days.
