Gordon Reynolds, M.D., a former Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA andLoma Linda University with over 50 years of experience practicing medicine,including five at Green Valley, is very enthusiastic about offering theprogram.
"We are witnessing a resurgence of one of the only truly safe, successfulweight loss programs for both men and women ever supported by five-yearfollow-up studies," explains Dr. Reynolds, renowned for his work in holisticwellness built on a solidly traditional medical background and for foundingthe Life Fitness & Longevity Program at La Costa Spa in California in the late1980s. "Not only did the hCG diet study reveal absolutely no negative sideeffects, but it also showed that 85% of the participants in the study remainedwithin 10% of their newly achieved weight goal, with none regaining all theirweight. No other program can claim this."
The use of hCG in the treatment of obesity was discovered by the lateBritish Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons, and he published his first report onthe topic in 1954. He devoted years to researching the causes and treatmentsof obesity and his work showed that with low doses of hCG and a 500 calorie aday diet, users reported no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritabilityand an average weight loss of one pound a day and no muscle loss. Thoseinterested in the program are invited to download Dr. Simeons' complete studyfrom the spa's Website, at no cost to them.
"We opened this spa over two decades ago in concert with a program aboutresetting your fat thermostat," explains Green Valley's co-owner, Alan Coombs."We're thrilled to have come full circle to a proven, safe and permanentsolution. And in these turbulent times, it is so gratifying to help people getcontrol of a key part of their lives."
