HCG DIET Commitments you must make: Commit to HCG diet strictly - NO DEVIATIONS. You will most likely experience little or no hunger after the first 3 days. It is important in the first 2 days of the diet that you eat some of the foods you will miss. After the first 2 days, you will comfortably consume a strict 500-900 calorie diet. Birth control pills, antibiotics, and other prescribed medications are allowed on the HCG diet. You must accept that any deviation from your 500-1,000 calorie diet will likely lead to weight gain. You must accept the rare possibility of low blood sugar which may manifest as lightheadedness, weakness or trembling, or sweating that is typically relieved by a snack like almonds which you are expected to keep on hand. You must continue the 500-900 calorie diet THREE days after stopping HCG use. You agree to not consume any sugars, carbohydrates, and fats including (rice, bread, potatoes, pastries, etc) for 3 weeks after stopping the use of HCG. I agree to follow the HCG Diet strictly. I understand my success is not guaranteed. I personally accept the rare possibility of side effects including, but not limited to fainting, low blood sugar, gall bladder attacks, or gout arthritis attacks. I agree to not hold anyone involved in my care responsible for any lack of success, unpleasant event, or side effects.
Weight Loss: Informed Consent I understand that my recommended weight loss treatments including prescription medications and non-FDA approved HCG or off-label use of prescription medications, lipo injections, and supplements are generally considered safe and beneficial to the majority of patients; however, Wyoming Integrative Medicine and Pharmacy LLC, Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine, Kentuckiana Medicine, and affiliated companies, it’s employees, clinicians, physicians, pharmaceutical providers, compound pharmacy providers cannot guarantee effectiveness and cannot guarantee that NO negative or adverse or harmful events will NOT occur to patients. This agreement will remain in force until canceled in writing by the patient. FEMALES, it is your responsibility to obtain a mammogram or thermogram, transvaginal ultrasound, and pelvic /pap smear from your doctor before starting HCG treatment. HCG is NOT FDA-approved for weight loss. BENEFITS with weight loss treatments and therapy MAY include improved appearance and energy, improved heart function, musculoskeletal health, psychological function, and sexual function; however, with all medical treatments, there are some rare but potential risks including but not limited to allergic reactions, cancer, and even death. Wyoming Medicine and Pharmacy LLC, Kentuckiana Medicine, and its clinicians will NOT act or assume the role of being the patient’s primary care physician. Patients receiving treatment must accept all known risks as well as future unknown risks including but not limited to allergic reactions, aggravation-worsening of the presenting problems, aggravation-worsening of other conditions, cancer, passing out from low blood sugar, gouty arthritis attacks, gall bladder attacks, heart attack, stroke, blood clots even death. Clearly, the clinicians at Wyoming Integrative Medicine and Pharmacy LLC and Kentuckiana Medicine and affiliated companies believe that the benefits far outweigh the risks. European studies show that the benefits of weight control with phentermine outweigh the risks since weight control MAY help avoid diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. The patient has read numerous articles on website and elsewhere and believes that treatment benefits outweigh the risks that he/she is willing to accept all known and unknown associated risks. All of the patient’s questions regarding the following treatments: both on-label and off-label use of Phenteramine [Adipex], Phendimetrazine, Diethylpropion, Metformin, Off Label Non-FDA approved HCG, SEMAGLUTIDE alone and Compounded “Off Label Semaglutide with B6 & BPC157” have been completely answered to his or her satisfaction and the patient elects to proceed with treatment. PATIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT ALL WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATIONS and weight loss supplements MUST STOP IF BECOMES PREGNANT. Especially Phentermine which is known to cause BIRTH DEFECTS.
I agree and understand that by choosing to receive treatment at this office with “Off Label” medications, vitamins, supplement treatments, Injections, and IV therapy that are unapproved by FDA, I am voluntarily joining a PMMA – PRIVATE MEDICAL MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION; therefore, I agree to keep track of my treatment and expenses and to NOT request medical records or expense records. Furthermore, I forbid this clinic from releasing my records to any other clinic, lawyer, insurance company, or anyone requesting information. Only, I the patient will have the authority to share my medical information and payment history. I understand my receipt on the day of service is my record of payment and received treatment.

Patient Informed Consent for Weight Loss Program and Appetite Suppressants
I hereby authorize Dr. Rafael Cruz, and whomever he designates as his assistants, to provide medical care for me to assist me in my weight reduction efforts, to achieve the goals of weight loss and weight maintenance. I understand that such care may include but is not limited to physical examination, laboratory screening, EKG testing, instruction in behavior modification techniques, nutritional counseling, fitness counseling, vitamin supplementation, and may involve the use of appetite suppressants.
I have read and understand my doctor’s statements that follow: “Medications, including appetite suppressants, have labeling worked out between the makers of the medication and the Food and Drug Administration. This labeling contains, among other things, suggestions for using the medication. The appetite suppressant labeling suggestions are generally based on shorter-term studies (up to 12 weeks) using the dosages indicated in the labeling.”
“As a physician, I have found the appetite suppressants helpful for periods in excess of 12 weeks, and at times in larger doses than those suggested in the labeling. I am not required to use the medication as the labeling suggests, but I do use the labeling as a source of information along with my own experience, the experience of my colleagues, and recent studies. Such usage has not been as systematically studied as that suggested in the labeling and it is possible, as with most other medications, that there could be serious side effects.”
“The more common side effects of the appetite suppressants include nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, dry mouth, weakness, tiredness, psychological problems, medication allergies, high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and heart irregularities. Less common, but more serious, risks are primary pulmonary hypertension and heart valve disease, heart attack, stroke, and death.
Physical injury can result from such things as increased exercise and activity, and GI side effects, such as constipation, diarrhea, and/or bloating, or development of gallbladder disease, can occur from rapid weight loss. These and other possible risks could, on occasion, be serious or fatal resulting in death. You must decide if you are willing to accept these risks of side effects, even if they might be serious, for the possible help the appetite suppressants may give you.”
By signing this consent, you are agreeing to accept all known and unknown risks associated with the use of HCG or supplements or medications like phentermine, that you are aware of the contraindications and risks involved with taking HCG and Cancer. In the unlikely event that you currently have an existing breast or female cervical cancer; it is possible that HCG may stimulate an already existing cancer even though HCG has NOT been proven to cause cancer. HCG is the pregnancy hormone and is extremely elevated in pregnancy and does not seem to cause cancer. It is your responsibility to obtain a Mammogram Thermagram, Transvaginal Ultrasound and a cervical PAP Smear under the care of your personal physician. If you elect to ignore our recommendation and do not obtain these tests, you do so at your own risk and release and forever discharge Wyoming Integrative Medicine and Pharmacy LLC, Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine, Kentuckiana Weight Loss, all affiliated companies, personnel, its employees, agents of any responsibility should you be harmed or die directly or indirectly from using prescribed supplements or medications or HCG.
Patient’s Consent: I have read and fully understand this consent form and I realize I should not sign this form if all items have not been explained, or any questions I have concerning them have not been answered to my complete satisfaction. I have been urged to take all the time I need in reading and understanding this form and in talking with my doctor regarding risks associated with the proposed treatment and regarding other treatments not involving the appetite suppressants.
I agree and understand that by receiving treatment at this office I am joining a PMMA – PRIVATE MEDICAL MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION; therefore, I agree to keep track of my treatment and expenses and to NOT request medical records or expense records. I have read and understand all of the above information and agree to accept all Known and Unknown risks.
WARNING: IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS TO THE RISKS OR HAZARDS OF THE PROPOSED TREATMENT, OR ANY QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER CONCERNING THE PROPOSED TREATMENT OR OTHER POSSIBLE TREATMENTS, ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE SIGNING THIS CONSENT FORM.
The most common side effects of Semaglutide MAY include: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach (abdomen) pain, headache, tiredness (fatigue), upset stomach, dizziness, feeling bloated, belching, gas, stomach flu, and heartburn.
PER SEMAGLUTIDE SAFETY STUDY, Mark M. Smits and Daniël H. Van Raalte-November 2021, Semaglutide induces mostly mild and transient gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea diarrhea constipation back pain and increases the risk of cholelithiasis-gall bladder attacks. However, no major safety concerns have arisen to date, although definitive conclusions for pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, and DRP complications cannot be drawn at this point. The incidence of cancer with Semaglutide is very similar to the same incidence that occurs in the general publication. When compared with the beneficial effects of these drugs on glucose metabolism, blood pressure, body weight, and cardiovascular (and potentially even renal) endpoints, these agents have an overall beneficial risk-benefit-profile for treatment of patients with T2D-Diabetes type 2 and OVERWEIGHT patients. The benefits of Semaglutide currently significantly outweigh the risks. SEMAGLUTIDE is an EXCELLENT DIABETES & WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION with weight loss of 15% in 180lb person = 27 pounds lost in 3-12 months. MANY PATIENTS REACH THEIR GOAL WEIGHT IN 1-3 months.
Semaglutide MAY cause RARE BUT serious side effects, including possible thyroid tumors, other cancers cancer. Tell your [doctor]if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. These risks are exceedingly rare, especially in those using Semaglutide short-term for weight loss for 3-5 months vs long-term for diabetes. In studies with rodents [MICE], Semaglutide and medicines that work like Semaglutide caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if Semaglutide will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in people.
DO NOT USE Semaglutide if: you or any of your family have ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) or history of cancer.
DO NOT USE Semaglutide if: you have had a serious allergic reaction to Semaglutide or any of the ingredients in Semaglutide.

-have or have had or experience [UNCONTROLLED] DEPRESSION, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, OR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. STOP SEMAGLUTIDE
-ARE PREGNANT OR PLAN TO BECOME PREGNANT. [SEMAGLUTIDE MAY HARM YOUR UNBORN BABY.] STOP SEMAGLUTIDE
You should stop using Semaglutide 2 months before you plan to become pregnant.
-are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if Semaglutide passes into your breast milk.
Tell your [doctor]about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Semaglutide may affect the way some medicines work and some medicines may affect the way Semaglutide works. Tell your [doctor]if you are taking other medicines to treat diabetes, including sulfonylureas or insulin. Semaglutide slows stomach emptying and can affect medicines that need to pass through the stomach quickly.
What are the possible side effects of Semaglutide?
-INFLAMMATION OF YOUR PANCREAS (PANCREATITIS). Stop using Semaglutide and call your [doctor]right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting. You may feel the pain from your abdomen to your back.

Call your [doctor]if you have symptoms, such as pain in your upper stomach (abdomen), fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or clay-colored stools. Semaglutide MAY cause an increased risk of LOW BLOOD SUGAR (HYPOGLYCEMIA) in patients with TYPE 2 DIABETES, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ALSO TAKE MEDICINES FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES SUCH AS SULFONYLUREAS OR INSULIN. [DO NOT USE SEMAGLUTIDE WITH OTHER DIABETES MEDICATIONS]
This [LOW BLOOD SUGAR] can be both a serious and common side effect. Talk to your [doctor]about how to recognize and treat low blood sugar and check your blood sugar before you start and while you take Semaglutide.
-KIDNEY PROBLEMS (KIDNEY FAILURE). In people who have kidney problems, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may cause a loss of fluids (dehydration) which may cause kidney problems to get worse. It is important for you to drink fluids to help reduce your chance of dehydration.
