<p>Max Drugs working in coordination with your local doctors have perfected the HCG formulation and diet plans following  the original guidelines created by Dr. Simeaon.</p>
<p>At Max Drugs we provide, with a valid prescription, your HCG weight loss solution. We can compound HCG as an injectable or our unique nasal spray formulation!</p>
<h5><img title="More..." src="http://www.max-drugs.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /><span id="more-592"></span></h5>
<h4>Is Dr. Simeon’s HCG Diet Plan Effective?</h4>
<p>There is an endless supply of weight loss products and supplements in the market and every one of them claims that it is the best and magical cure for obesity. One diet that claims to be the magical cure for obesity and overweight problems is Dr. Simeon’s HCG diet.</p>
<h3>It is Different</h3>
<p>The HCG diet plan is different from all other diet plans in the market that are aimed at weight loss and fat burning. It is not just another diet plan but a treatment for obesity. It is a combination of an injectable drug or nasal spray and a strict diet.</p>
<h3>Components of the Diet Plan</h3>
<p>Major components of the diet plan are as follows.</p>
<p>• Patients that wish to lose less than 15 pounds are treated for 23 days under the diet plan.<br />
• Out of the 23 days , 21 days the dieter will use the HCG and the diet plan.<br />
• During the next three days, the dieter will go through a special 500 calorie diet for three days. The less calories you intake the more weight loss you will see.<br />
• Even those who desire to lose only 5 pounds have to undergo the 23 day treatment.<br />
• However those wishing to lose more than 15 pounds will have to go through a second course of the HCG and diet plan or even more.<br />
• Patients will only in take 500 calories per day during the treatment period that will help them get the required quantum of energies.<br />
• It is claimed that like other fad diet plans, the patients undergoing treatment with the HCG diet plan of Dr Simeon’s will not have lack of energy and pale face in result.</p>
<h3>Constraints</h3>
<p>One of the constraints of the HCG diet plan is that while it can circulate and get rid of abnormal fat, it will not be able to liberate the normal fat deposits. Moreover, it will prevent the consumption of the normal fat deposits. Thus, all said and done, Dr Siemon’s HCG diet plan is not one of the perfect plans.</p>
<h3>Does HCG Diet Plan Work?</h3>
<p>One of the questions for every dieter is whether the diet plan he or she uses and so also the HCG diet plan would really work? Having a look at the following points will help form an opinion.</p>
<p>• It has been clinically established that the HCG diet plan works.<br />
• Results would vary depending on the anatomic features of the dieter and his or her habits.<br />
• It is also a simple diet plan.<br />
• Some of the users claim that they have lost around 2 pounds per day following the diet plan.<br />
• Diet comes with a cook book and the components are quite tasty and good for the dieter.</p>
<h3>Word of Caution</h3>
<p>Despite the good results offered by Dr Simeon’s diet plan, there are a few precautions that everyone has to take.  This diet is not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers. You must consult with your doctor to see if this diet will work for you safely!</p>
<h3>What makes Max Drug&#8217;s HCG products different?</h3>
<p>At Max Drugs, we only use American sources, we do NOT purchase any of our raw materials from China. HCG products are made per patient special order and are NOT mass produced.</p>
<p><strong>Last but not least; before starting any diet, you must first consult with your physician to see if you are a candidate. </strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> A valid prescription is required for all of Max Drug&#8217;s  HCG products. </strong></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center">This paper is a road map that will guide you to the path of health and wellness that many of my patients have traveled. It is a map that you can use in your own quest for good health, abundant energy, and the joy that comes from living life to the fullest.</p>
<p align="center"><span id="more-566"></span></p>
<p align="center">Hormone production imbalance is an overall decline in hormone production. The negative effects of this hormonal imbalance are not limited to the reproductive system. The female hormones play important roles throughout the body, in the heart, brain, muscles, bones, and other major organs and tissues. An imbalance in levels of estrogen and progesterone adversely affects the production and use of these hormones. Fatigue, weight gain, mood and memory problems, insomnia, headaches, and menstrual disorder</p>
<p align="center">            One common result of female hormonal imbalance is hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, which weakens the immune system and can trigger allergies, chemical sensitivities and recurrent infections during midlife. Adrenal insufficiency often accompanies low thyroid function, worsening the problems of low energy, impaired immunity and allergies.</p>
<p align="center">Blood testing is not the best way to diagnose hormonal problems or to assess whether the treatment of these problems is working. <strong>The most reliable indication of hormonal problems is how a patient feels physically, mentally, and emotionally.</strong></p>
<p align="center">            Estrogen is most dominant during the delivery of a baby, the baby’s placenta produces high levels of progesterone 10-20 times higher than a woman normally produces. When the baby is delivered and the placenta expelled, there is a precipitous drop in progesterone levels. However, estrogen levels remain very high and this becomes women who is estrogen dominant.</p>
<p align="center">Childbirth is not the only cause of estrogen dominance, it can also occur at puberty, after discontinuing birth control pills, after tubal ligation or hysterectomy, or simply as a woman moves through her menstrual life.</p>
<p align="center">            Imbalances in the levels of estrogen and progesterone are inevitable for women in their thirties, forties, and beyond due to this imbalance. A Patients’ symptoms (estrogen dominant) would cause a stress on her adrenal glands, alter her thyroid function and may trigger an allergic disorders.</p>
<p align="center">            Simple treatment of someone who is estrogen dominance is to start treatment of bio identical progesterone hormonal therapy to restore proper hormonal levels taken on days fifteen through twenty-eight of her menstrual cycle.</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">
<p align="center">
<p align="center">Using a thermometer, the body’s normal temperature is 98.6 F in the morning, if the temperature is below 98.2 F we can consider the patient to have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism means the patient has low thyroid function. This can be treated by using a natural</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">
<p align="center">            If a patient has low thyroid function, treatment with natural t3 and t4 product will raise her thyroid levels. The body’s  normal temperature is 98.6 F, but by using a thermometer to measure and record the body core temperature when the patient wakes up, we can see if the body and recording the degrees will normal is 98.6 and under 98.2 is consider to be hypothyroidism. Once must start with t3 2.5 up to 12.5 in am dose and 2.5 to 12.5 in early afternoon and should see an increase of body core temperature.</p>
<p align="center">            If patient has stressed her adrenal glands, treatment with a adrenal support supplement or a small dose of cortisol 5mg capsule</p>
<p align="center">            If the patient has yeast over growth and digestive problems, it important for her to remain on a yeast-free diet for at least 3 months in order to restore health to her digestive tract, treatment anti fungal nystatin, to kill yeast along with preparations of Lactobacillus acidophilus to replenish beneficial bacteria in the colon.</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">Subject of allergies</p>
<p align="center">Evaluating patient with problems ranging from sinus infections skin disorders, asthma and migraine headaches and these patients treated for allergies show improvement is disease state. What is an allergy? An allergy is an abnormal reaction by the body’s immune system to normally occurring substance that cause no problem for most people. Common environmental allergens include weed, tree and grass pollen; dust mites; mold spores; and animal dander. Common foods such as wheat, corn, eggs, milk, yeast, or soybeans also may cause allergic reactions. In most children with eczema, the cause is a food allergy. Recurrent ear infections in children are caused by a milk allergy in at least 50% of cases. You may know someone who gets a headache after drinking wine or develops hives after eating shellfish or peanuts. These are all examples of food allergies.</p>
<p align="center">The first time an allergen enters the body and binds to a B cell, the cell is stimulated to mature into an antibody-producing “factory” called a plasma cell. The plasma cell churns out IgE antibodies specific to the allergen, which attach to specialized receptors on mast cells,(specialized white blood cells that cover the lining of the mucous membranes of the respiratory and digestive tract) priming them for subsequent encounters. The next time allergen enters the body, it binds to and crosslink with IgE antibodies, causing the mast cell to release histamine and other powerful inflammatory chemicals in an attempt to get rid of the offending substance) these chemicals (cause blood vessels to dilate, prompting tissue swelling, tearing of the eyes, and nasal discharge) and if not treated promptly(they may cause the stimulate secretion of large amounts of mucus and cause the bronchial tubes to constrict, triggering coughing and wheezing.)  Those trigger allergy symptoms. Allergies can cause symptoms throughout the body depending on where the immune system is activated. Food allergens can trigger gastrointestinal symptoms such as canker sores, gastritis, and diarrhea. Headaches, depression, anxiety, and memory problems can occur if inflammation and swelling affect the brain. Recurrent or chronic urinary tract infections, childhood ear infections upper respiratory infections, and yeast infections commonly have an allergic basis.</p>
<p align="center">Common allergy symptoms</p>
<p align="center">Fatigue frequent headaches sneezing, postnasal drainage or itching of the nose, frequent colds, recurrent or chronic sinus infections, recurrent yeast infections, jock itch, or athlete’s foot, dizziness, itching, watering, redness, or swelling of the eyes, dark circle under the eyes, recurrent cough or bronchitis, tightness in the chest, wheezing, or asthma, eczema, skin rashes, itching, or hives, eczema, skin rashes, itching or hives indigestion, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation</p>
<p align="center">Following questions to evaluate the likelihood that you suffer from allergies</p>
<p align="center">Do your symptoms worsen during particular season, such as the spring or fall?</p>
<p align="center">Are your symptoms worse in parks or grassy areas?</p>
<p align="center">Are your symptoms worse around animals?</p>
<p align="center">Do your symptoms change when you go indoors or outdoors?</p>
<p align="center">Are your symptoms worse when you come into contact with dust?</p>
<p align="center">Are your symptoms worse upon arising in the morning?</p>
<p align="center">Do you awaken in the middle of the night with congestion?</p>
<p align="center">Do you have mood swings or feel depressed for no particular reason?</p>
<p align="center">Do you develop symptoms after eating or drinking certain foods?</p>
<p align="center">Do you sometimes feel stimulated, hyperactive, or fatigued after meals?</p>
<p align="center">Do you have any blood relatives with allergies?</p>
<p align="center">Keep in mind that allergies are caused by an overactive immune system that misidentifies harmless substance as threatening invaders. Nowhere on the label of an antihistamine will you see information that this drug helps retrain the immune system to stop overreacting to allergens, what you will see, though is a list of side effects that the antihistamine can cause, such as fatigue, drowsiness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, stomach upset, nausea, blurred vision, dizziness, headaches, and skin rashes.</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">Yeast infections what is it and how to treat</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">The over growth of the yeast Candida albicans is a condition called candidiasis, can affect virtually any organ in the body, causing symptoms as varied as abdominal pain and headaches, fatigue and skin rashes, immune suppression and chemical sensitivity, and depression and joint pain. The frequent antibiotic use and the resulting over growth of yeast is a major factor in their declining health. The overgrowth of yeast was depleting energy, weakening resistance to disease and causing both physical and metal suffering. Restoring the normal balance of bacteria in her digestive tract should be the number one priority.</p>
<p align="center">Yeast syndrome is a condition with multiple causes and multiple effects, for this reason, no single intervention will be effective in getting yeast under control, restoring the balance of healthy bacteria in the body, and restoring health. I have found that the most effective way of treating candidiasis is a three-pronged approach eradicate, eliminate, and repopulate.</p>
<p align="center">Eradicate</p>
<p align="center">Using nystatin is a safe, effective agent for eradicating yeast in the colon. It is not absorbed systemically, and it does not affect the beneficial bacteria that normally inhabit the colon. Treatment should from one to 3 month or longer depending on their symptoms and yeast antibody levels. Because nystatin only kills yeast in the spore form and its effects are confined primarily to the colon. Using another systemic antifungal medication called fluconazole taken for one to two week course of treatment would help ensure that yeast cells in the mycelial stage are eradicated from the mucous membranes throughout the body.</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">Eliminate</p>
<p align="center">Eradicating the yeast that is already present is only one element of a successful candida treatment program. You must also prevent yeast from regaining a foothold in your body. Otherwise, while you may win the battle, you ultimately will lose the war. To grow, yeast requires a specific environment- a moist, dark place with a constant food supply. This is a perfect description of your gastrointestinal tract. Fortunately, discouraging the growth of yeast doesn’t mean that you have to go on a thirty-day fast. It does mean that you have to radically change your diet for at least this length of time in order to prevent yeast from growing. The yeast-free, grain-free diet eliminates dietary sources of yeast and other fungi, vinegar and fermented products and sugar and carbohydrate-rich foods that provide nourishment to yeast. Eliminating sugar can be the most difficult part of this diet, in part because so many foods contain added sugar, in addition to cane sugar and beet sugar, you will have to steer clear of honey, corn syrup, maple syrup, molasses, fruit sugar (fructose), milk sugar (lactose), and malt sugar ( maltose), because yeast grows on sugar.</p>

<p>This place is truly a needle in a haystack, an old pharmacy lost in time and left in 2009.</p>
<p>The pharmacy is tiny, a little broken down and seemingly known only to locals. Walking inside I feel a little out of place as it has medical supplies that goes beyond your typical Walgreens or CVS. It kind of  creeps me out a little. In the back, there&#8217;s a small pharmacy that I believe is run by one man. The business itself is a tag team &#8211; husband and wife owned and store operated.</p>
<p>For the short period of time that I was there, I was truly amazed. The pharmacist himself is a pretty cool guy with a sense of humor and a little odd. One thing to note is that he is possibly a genius.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t come across this place myself and probably would have never gone here on my own. I was referred by a doctor who seems to believe in his &#8220;cures&#8221;, his &#8220;magic potions&#8221; as I like to call it.</p>
<p>I filled my prescription in a matter of minutes, had a consultation where he gave me instructions and then walked out. There were people in the store, which was a relief but you could tell whatever this guy does &#8211; it worked.</p>
<p>No lie, there was a sense of relief and hope in the air. Wow.</p>
<p><em><strong>Robyn C., Miami FL</strong></em></p>

<h1><span style="color: #800000;">2/24/2009</span></h1>
<p>Let&#8217;s say your doctor has prescribed medication for you and you do a search online of the prices of the drugs that he has prescribed to you&#8230;<br />
Now you can either buy online or take the prices to Max and let them match them&#8230;  how easy is that?  just saved you hassles and wondering if they&#8217;re coming in the mail on time..</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what this pharmacy does.. they want your business and they will go the extra mile to obtain it..  better than CVS or Walgreen&#8217;s&#8230;</p>
<p>Give them a try..  you won&#8217;t be disappointed. I guarantee it.</p>
