Is it a crime to buy hCG off the internet for rapid weight loss The answer is YES, if the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is obtained without a valid prescription from a physician (MD or DO). Not only is it a crime, it is a felony with punishment of up to 10 years imprisonment. hCG is listed as a Schedule III drug by the Drug Enforcement cheap cowboys jerseys Administration (DEA). This means it is in the same class as prescription narcotics and anabolic steroids. Why is this so? Because high doses of hCG are routinely used by physicians to increase testosterone production in hypogonadal men who suffer from low testosterone levels.

 Since hCG can--in high doses such as 2,500 U--stimulate testosterone production it is also used and abused by body builders when they cycle off their high doses of anabolic steroids. More recently, even professional ball players are using it to increase their own natural levels of testosterone. Last year Los Angeles Dodgers' player, Manny Ramirez, was caught using hCG and was punished with a 50-game suspension.Hundreds of obese individuals buy hCG illegally every day off the internet--without a valid prescription cheap Mitchell & Ness Jerseys from a physician--for use in Dr. Simeons' hCG weight-loss protocol. Most people do so to save a few hundred dollars, not realizing they are committing a felony and could go to jail. Furthermore, hCG delivered by rogue websites may be the wrong drug, adulterated or expired, the wrong dosage strength, or have no dosage directions or warnings.

The use of low doses of hCG (125 U) for weight loss is safe if supervised by a physician. hCG itself is very safe at low doses and does not pose a threat to an individual. The problem occurs when a person is taking prescription wholesale dallas cowboys jerseys medication at the same time. For example, if a diabetic patient does not reduce or stop their medication during the weight loss program they can easily become hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and pass out or worse go into a diabetic coma. Also, individuals with high blood pressure typically will need to reduce or stop their blood pressure medication as their blood pressure will usually drop during the weight loss program.
