Default HCG / OMNI Available in Canada?

Does anyone know if the HCG drops or OMNI drops are available in Canada? I have read a lot about the OMNI Rocks program and would love to try it!!

Back in December, the US FDA banned over-the-counter sales of all homeopathic hcg products. Information about this is posted on our forum, here.

Although Health Canada hasn't officially declared a similar ban, the American ban still affects customers up here in the north country. Canadian distributors who used to carry this stuff have had their cross-border shipments confiscated by Customs. Same for individuals who order from the US or overseas.

You can still find OTC drops and pellets which claim to be "similar to" hcg, but if you read the fine print, it's just a blend of amino acids and herbals .. which don't work, according to many testimonials.

The pure hcg for injection, or the hcg aerosol that you spray under your tongue, is still available from a pharmacy with a prescription. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I *think* the genuine hcg homeopathic drops can still be obtained from a qualified health professional (naturopath, homeopathic specialist, chiropractor, holistic nurse practitioner etc) .. just not over the counter.

There's an active HCG progress thread in our Buddies' forum .. HCG Challenge/Progress Part III. Check it out. I made a warning about posting links for where to get it without a prescription, or giving "medical advice" such as how to prepare a powder for injection .. read it here. If you want to ask for specific advice about how to obtain the drug or the homeopathic version, please ask for members to pm the information to you, rather than post it on the forum .


Best of luck to you, whatever you decide to do


Doreen
