Green Valley Spa Now Offers hCG Weight Loss Therapy

The fifty-year-old program's difference: Melting stored fat and increasing the
body's metabolism for good

ST. GEORGE, Utah, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- During this time of economic
instability, there is a different type of belt tightening going on at a luxury
destination spa in Utah's red rock canyon country. Green Valley Spa has
become the first destination spa in the U.S. to offer a medically guided
weight loss program founded on the Simeons hCG hormone diet. Average weight
loss on the 23-day program is a pound a day. The minimum stay for the hCG
weight loss program at Green Valley is seven nights with a cost of $995.00
above the basic, all-inclusive spa package. Visit
http://www.greenvalleyspa.com for more details on packages and the science
behind the weight loss therapy.
Over 30 people have already completed the three-week program, with very
promising results. While most spas are reporting revenues down as much as 20%
over this economically rocky time, Green Valley is experiencing a 30% increase
in bookings over the same dates last year.
Gordon Reynolds, M.D., a former Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA and
Loma Linda University with over 50 years of experience practicing medicine,
including five at Green Valley, is very enthusiastic about offering the
program.
"We are witnessing a resurgence of one of the only truly safe, successful
weight loss programs for both men and women ever supported by five-year
follow-up studies," explains Dr. Reynolds, renowned for his work in holistic
wellness built on a solidly traditional medical background and for founding
the Life Fitness & Longevity Program at La Costa Spa in California in the late
1980s. "Not only did the hCG diet study reveal absolutely no negative side
effects, but it also showed that 85% of the participants in the study remained
within 10% of their newly achieved weight goal, with none regaining all their
weight. No other program can claim this."
The use of hCG in the treatment of obesity was discovered by the late
British Physician, Dr. A. T. W. Simeons, and he published his first report on
the topic in 1954. He devoted years to researching the causes and treatments
of obesity and his work showed that with low doses of hCG and a 500 calorie a
day diet, users reported no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or irritability
and an average weight loss of one pound a day and no muscle loss. Those
interested in the program are invited to download Dr. Simeons' complete study
from the spa's Website, at no cost to them.
"We opened this spa over two decades ago in concert with a program about
resetting your fat thermostat," explains Green Valley's co-owner, Alan Coombs.
"We're thrilled to have come full circle to a proven, safe and permanent
solution. And in these turbulent times, it is so gratifying to help people get
control of a key part of their lives."
Green Valley has garnered a list of accolades since it was founded 23
years ago by the Coombs family. The July 2008 issue of Health Magazine named
the 50-room, family owned destination spa as one of the "Top Ten Healthiest
Spas in America." Luxury Spa Finder readers said Green Valley had the "Best
Rooms" and the "Best Hiking" program of any U.S. destination spa while a
Travel & Leisure Magazine Reader's Poll named the luxury wellness retreat the
#3 spa in the world.
