The HCG Story... The story of HCG began in the Fifties when, after having done research on weight loss for 40 years and research on HCG specifically for twenty years, Dr. Simeons reported that patients taking small amounts of HCG, in conjunction Kathryn Azhar, Owner with a very low calorie and her staff diet, could lose weight safely and quickly without exercise, muscle loss or hunger. But all HCG is not created equal. The SuperVision Weight Loss program starts with pharmaceutical HCG. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of confusion created by products being sold without guidance that call themselves “HCG” but do not contain any in their ingredient list. HCG is one of 67 hormones naturally produced in the human body, so if a product states that it is hormone free, it's not HCG.

Cindy's Story
For years, I've had trouble losing the excess weight that I put on. I've tried several plans and fad diets, only to put the weight back on. I came to Super Vision Weight Loss when my doctor told me that I was pre-diabetic. I found the program easy to follow. i was glad to have the support of the staff through the entire transition. I am so happy with my results and my new lease on life.
Gary's Story
My doctor was on my case about my blood pressure, and I know that the extra weight I was carrying wasn’t helping that situation. My knees hurt and I just wanted to feel better. I gave Super Vision Weight Loss a chance to help me get the weight off. They were really great!! I lost 38 lbs. in 31 days! My girlfriend is thrilled. I travel for a living and I was able to stay true to the diet protocol even on the road. I’m so glad I did this diet with Super Vision Weight Loss. I feel YEARS younger and I know I’ll never have that belly again.
HCG does not produce weight loss by itself. However, in concert with a very specific balanced diet, and our help in avoiding unexpected environmental or behavioral deviations, HCG will allow the body to naturally pull the nutrients and calories needed from stored fat reserves into the blood stream at the rate of 1500 to 4000 calories per day. We are sure that those who follow our protocol WILL lose 20-30 pounds in 40 days. These fantastic results ARE typical with our full service packages. SuperVision Weight Loss program is not your run of the mill “eat less and exercise more” diet for a slow loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week that seems to take the rest of your life. Our protocol tricks Mother Nature a little, maybe, however only natural processes are at work. Per Dr. Simeons, it is safe and so very effective.

Don’t Do It Alone There is no doubt that “doing life alone” can be very difficult. Single people believe that having a partner makes life much easier. The truth of the matter is that often times people in a coupleship can also feel very alone. If you feel your plight is “do it alone” than it is important to believe that the “universe has your back.” Faith is the belief that something outside of yourself is there to support you no matter how big the obstacles. Are you someone who feels that you have to do everything by yourself? Do people see you as controlling? Do you think it's easier taking care of things solely by yourself? Are you someone who no longer believes that things can really work out for the best? Only you can decide to change your mental attitude and believe that life is here to support you. Most people do this by believing in a higher power, God, or the Universe. When things get really tough, they are able to turn their situation over to the Universe and believe that things are happening that can teach them great lessons and strengthen them. Do you have a knowing that God has your back? Do you have faith that good things will come out of it? My clients that have the toughest times with this concept have either gone through a lot of trauma and therefore they have an unconscious belief the good things will never come to them or they have grown up in families where one
parent took total control and hurt other family members. They have been taught that they should not trust Carol Juergensen Sheets others, not trust a higher power, and solely rely on themselves to survive. As you may well know, this survival strategy helped them to feel safe in childhood but when used to the extreme can end up being a psychological obstacle to trusting others. And when this occurs, it becomes difficult to trust that life is there to support them. If this is you…try the following homework assignment. Spend a day shifting your attitude. When things get rough, ask your higher power, “How can I grow from this and what can I depend on to get me through this hard time other than myself?” This kind of exercise trains the brain to think about life differently and to seek out resources that are available because of your new found faith. If after a month, you find yourself not being able to rely on others, or a higher power to support you, it may require that you seek out a coach, a counselor, or a person who is well respected in the religious community to help redirect you and your thinking. Faith and belief that you are not alone is imperative to feeling supported and accessing the resources that are truly available to you so that you don't have to do it alone!

Bicycle Helmets by Tamie Jo Morog As an avid bicycle rider, I cringe when I see children riding bicycles on their driveway, let alone in the street, without helmets. Last year I turned a corner while riding my bicycle. My bicycle flew out from under me, my bicycle clips disengaged from my pedals and I fell and hit my head. I was wearing a helmet. The helmet cracked, due to the trauma. Even though I had the helmet on, I experienced significant head pain for several months. I went often to the massage therapist who used her methods to ease the pain and move the cranial bones back into place. If I would not have had a helmet on, I would have experienced a great deal more pain and maybe a traumatic brain injury. According to a recent publication, every year about 350,000 children under the age of 15 are rushed to hospital emergency rooms with injuries from bicycle wrecks. Many of these injuries are head injuries. These head injuries can cause brain damage and life-long disability. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, a bicycle helmet is estimated to reduce the risk of head injuries by 85%. Children should wear bicycle helmets whenever they are on a bike. This gets them in the habit of wearing bicycle helmets as they mature. Bike helmets are becoming more popular, but they still have a long way to go to 8
become totally acceptable. Actually, Burley, a leading manufacturer of child bicycle trailers, suggests that a child even wear a helmet when they are in a bicycle trailer. This gets them used to wearing a helmet at a young age. It also protects them if there is an accident while they are riding in the trailer. According to a nationwide survey, 29% of children said that they wear a bike helmet. In a study sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it was reported that only 15% of children use a helmet. Parents may ask what brand of bicycle helmet they should use. Since February 1999, all helmets have to meet the safety standards issued by the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Just as when fitting an adult’s helmet, the important aspect of wearing a helmet is the fit, not the brand. You do not, however, want to buy a used helmet because just with the helmet that I was wearing, the crack in the helmet did not become apparent for several days after I had the accident. Sometimes fire departments and/or health departments have days when they give out helmets and/or sell helmets at a reduced cost. The cost of the helmet is much less costly than taking your child to the emergency room and/or your child experiencing the headaches and soreness that would come from a concussion or worse.

Stem Cell Therapy FAQ What are stem cells?
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that maintain and repair tissues. Stem cells are unique in that they have the potential to develop into many different types of cells. In regeneration, stem cells may seek out areas that need repair or restoration. Our body’s natural healing process is fairly efficient, but modern science can accelerate the process.
Where do stem cells come from?
There are primarily two types of stem cells used for treatments: embryonic and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos. Adult stem cells can be derived from a patient’s own body. Adult stem cells exist throughout the body, however the most abundant (and accessible) source is abdominal fat.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is the process of isolating adult stem cells from abdominal fat and reintroducing them into the body where they can do the most good. The process begins with extracting a few ounces of fat from the patient in a “mini” liposuction procedure. Once the fat is removed, the stem cells are isolated utilizing the state-of-the-art Healeon Medical CENTRIcyte 1000 Centrifuge. Once isolated, the stem cells are then re-introduced to the body by IV and/or by injection for more localized treatments. Local treatments can help with knee, shoulder and other joint pain. Stem cells can also be applied to the face, neck and scalp using a micro-needle system to give you a more healthy and youthful look. The treatments are outpatient procedures conducted in a sterile environment in your doctor’s office utilizing state-of-the-art equipment. Under sedation and local anesthesia, the process is relatively painless and safe with minimal downtime.
What kind of ailments can stem cell therapy help?
Stem cell therapy may improve a variety of conditions. Our patients have shown significant improvement in: • • • • • •
Blood pressure Diabetes Crohn’s Disease Fibromyalgia Joint pain Macular degeneration
Stem cell therapy patients have also reported higher energy levels, better sleep and overall improved quality of life. No treatment can be guaranteed, and outcomes will vary from patient to patient. Your doctor will conduct an individual health assessment.
How long does the liposuction take?
The “mini” liposuction only takes about 20 minutes. Once the fat has been extracted, the patient can relax or sleep while the stem cells are isolated.
How does the stem cell isolation process work?
Utilizing the CENTRIcyte 1000 Centrifuge, the medical staff will perform four separate steps to isolate your stem cells. The process is completely closed and sterile for your safety.
What happens after you are done isolating the stem cells?
Once your stem cells have been isolated, your physician will reintroduce them into your body with an intravenous mix of saline and stem cells. If you have elected local application, you physician will inject stem cells directly into the areas of concern. Application to the face, neck and scalp for cosmetic purposes may also occur at this time.
How long is the recovery?
Many patients are able to go back to work on the day following the procedure. We ask you to refrain from exercise for at least a week.
How long does it take to see improvement?
Individual ailments vary and the outcome of Stem Cell therapy depends on your body’s unique healing process. Some patient may experience results immediately or within just days of receiving Stem cell therapy. Other patients have taken months to reach optimal resolution of their ailment. No one can guarantee the outcome for this or any treatment. Each patient is different and results will vary. Your physician will determine a treatment plan tailored specifically for your condition that gives you the best chance for success.
How long with the benefit last?
Results will vary from patient to patient depending on the ailment and the natural variation in isolated cells. Results have been shown to last 5+ years depending on the ailment and the age/overall health of the patient.
Is the stem cell isolation procedure FDA approved?
Currently all procedures utilizing stem cells to treat specific ailments are considered experimental. The procedures are carried out utilizing FDA cleared and registered equipment and all fall within the FDA regulations for transferring tissue.
Can you guarantee results?
No treatment can be guaranteed. Results vary from patient to patient. However, approximately 90% of our patients have experienced positive results.
