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.

PROACTIVE STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM When someone is injured in an accident, whether it’s an auto, motorcycle, or bicycle accident, a slip and fall, or some other circumstance caused by another’s negligence, that person may be in shock. It may be difficult to think straight or ask the right questions. Without a doubt, it’s a time of confusion, pain and anger. Many times, a person may be too injured to do anything at the time of their injury other than seek medical attention. But often, that is not the case. Knowing what to do beforehand can help you protect your claim. Here are some simple tips on what to do if you are injured: Collisions involving moving vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks • Photograph the scene where the collision occurred • If possible, photograph the damage on all vehicles, motorcycles, trucks or bicycles before they are moved • Provide a statement to the investigating officer explaining what occurred from your point of view • Ask for a copy of the other driver’s insurance card • Obtain a copy of the police report from www.Buycrash.com • Know the coverage limits of your auto insurance policy including your UI/UIM coverage as well as any excess coverage you may have pursuant to an umbrella policy • Notify your auto insurance carrier right away that you have been involved in an accident • Do not agree to allow your motor vehicle, motorcycle, truck or bicycle to be salvaged by any insurance carrier until you have had a chance to examine the same and take photographs. If liability is in question, you may need the property damage information for your bodily injury case.
Make sure that if you are asked to sign a release for your property damage, it is limited to property damage only Slip and Falls • Photograph the rug, mat, spill, step, hole, obstacle or other item or circumstance that caused your fall • Report the fall to a person with authority and provide your own written account - do not sign their written account • Ask for a copy of the incident report before you leave the scene • Ask for the name of the company’s insurance carrier and request that a claim for your medical expenses be opened pursuant to their med-pay coverage • If the fall occurs at someone else’s home, ask for a copy of their homeowner’s insurance policy and/or the name of their homeowner’s insurance carrier For all situations: • If requested, provide a tape recorded statement to your insurance company only – do not provide a tape recorded statement to anyone else’s insurance company or an investigator • Seek immediate medical attention – do not wait and delay treatment • Explain how you were injured to the attending physician • Follow all of your doctor’s orders and keep a copy of all medical visits, prescriptions and records pertaining to your injury • Know your health insurance coverage and keep track of your co-pays and expenses

An Autumn Cleanse A cleanse is your opportunity to slow down, to quiet what’s coming into your Nancy Spahr Kelsey Decker body, and to activate your systems of detoxification and elimination, ultimately resulting in the benefits you desire: clarity, focus, intention, and energy! Autumn offers a bounty of grounding and nourishing fruits and vegetables that are just what your body needs for a gentle, soothing, and warming purification. Your autumn seasonal foods that can be found in abundance at the Farmers Markets include Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, Winter Squashes such as Delicata, Butternut, Spaghetti, and Acorn. Fruits include 8
Pears, Apples, and Persimmons. Kale Greens are getting a second chance in the cooler weather too! Root Vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, celeriac and beets are perfect for warming and nourishing autumn stews. Autumn is also the season to retreat. It’s your time to savor the abundance of what you have harvested in the spring and summer months and to focus on the health of three of your major organs of elimination-the skin, lungs and the colon. By supporting these organs you tap into your innate ability to re-invigorate, re-inspire, and renew yourself and your immunity for the winter months. You can shed years of built-up toxins and debris that are slowing you down and impacting your energy. Seasonal cleansing is one key to restoration. It’s your ticket to solace.

Perception Is Up to You In today's harried society, people are prone to anxiety. Fear and worries can plague the average person several times a day. It may be as minor as "I'm going to be late for work and the boss is not going to be happy" or it may be as fearful as "this cancer diagnosis is serious and I fear for my life." Many of my clients come in to discuss very difficult situations and of course they are looking for ways to immediately change their environment. The woman who is experiencing a difficult divorce, the employee who is being downsized, the mother whose child is being bullied leaving her feeling helpless. These situations may seem insurmountable and yet there is much you can do when you change your thoughts about your situation. Byron Katie has an easy formula for changing anxiety and worry. Her story is fascinating because she is not a therapist. She was experiencing mental health issues in her life which were becoming more unmanageable. She had extremely low self esteem and she had lost the drive to continue on in her life. She actually was suicidal and slept on the floor because she did not believe that she deserved more. She just did not want to exist anymore because her life felt too stressful and she didn't feel like she had the tools to cope. One morning as she watched a cock roach crawl across her foot, she had an epiphany that changed her life. When she watched the bug walk across her feet she said to herself “My life is horrible.” and all of a sudden she heard herself say "Is that true?" She then heard herself ask “Do I absolutely know that my life is horrible?”" She asked herself” How would I feel if I did not have the thought?” Her last question of inquiry was "What do I need to believe to change
that thought? " In that moment she realized that there were many things that were not horrible about her life and as long as she believed her life to be Carol Juergensen Sheets horrible she would remain in a "horrible state." So she began to think of all the things that were not horrible: her physical health was good, she still had a roof over her head, she had some caring and loving friends, she still had some assets in her life including some clothes to wear, some money in the bank, some food in the fridge. She began to think" I am truly quite blessed and I have a lot to be thankful for."
What she realized is that those thoughts made her feel happier and more empowered and gave her more energy to be more productive. I have studied with Byron Katie and believe that her book Loving What Is is a book that everyone should read because it encourages us to change our thoughts so that we can empower our lives and live differently. Her 4 step formula called The Works is an amazing reminder that we own the power to live fulfilled lives no matter what happens to us, no matter who or what is trying to harm us, and no matter what our life circumstance happens to be. When you change the way you think about things, everything around you changes. It is so relieving to be able to walk through life and know that we all have what it takes to get through difficult times and become better people because of it!
