Three things the Queen of England does not want us to think about:
Don't worry about the corgis, Your Majesty. (Sorry, but we just don't care.) That said, royal reproduction has definitely been on our minds ever since Kensington Palace tweeted on Sept. 3 that Kate and William are indeed expecting their third child.
The duchess is early in her first trimester so why the official announcement so soon with the risk of miscarriage still uncertain? Well, the folks at the palace made the decision share the news before it hit the media via whispery Reddit sub-threads since poor Kate is once again suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum,the violent and rare version of morning sickness that incapacitated her during her first two pregnancies. In fact, the duchess was already too sick to make a scheduled engagement on Sept. 4.
"Morning sickness" is an innocuous and misleading term in many cases, including Kate's. Regular old morning sickness affects up to 80 percent of pregnant women and would likely befit our favorite elegant AF duchess much more nicely than hyperemesis gravidarum, its far more sinister and unrelenting cousin.
One could spring back from morning sickness via a delicate dab of the mouth with a monogrammed handkerchief and maybe a swish of mouthwash served in a tiny silver cup. But hyperemesis gravidarum, which only occurs in about 2 percent of pregnancies, is marked by vomiting so intense and unremitting that sufferers are often hospitalized for IV fluid and nutrition therapy as Kate was while pregnant with Prince George. (It's possible she was also hospitalized for the same condition while pregnant with Princess Charlotte, but that remains unconfirmed.)
More: People Are Actually Shaming Kate Middleton for Her Third Pregnancy WTF
Dr. Sherry Ross, a Santa Monica OB-GYN, and Dr. Jaime Knopman, a reproductive endocrinologist in New York City, spoke with Us Weekly about hyperemesis gravidarum and how and why it may be affecting Kate.
Persistent nausea and vomiting can become so severe that moms lose weight and become malnourished and dehydrated... In these situations, hospitalization, intravenous hydration, and nutrition are needed," said Ross. Eating and drinking is a nightmare... Women suffering from HG can feel depleted, exhausted and depressed.
So if even the Duchess of Cambridge is susceptible to this debilitating condition, obviously so are we normals. So what are the risk factors? Is there anything a woman can do to avoid HG?
Knopman has little good news for us on that front, unfortunately. HG is pretty much out of a mom-to-be's control. And it can but doesn't always attack the same poor women during more than one pregnancy. Usually women who get it once are more likely to get it again, she said.Risk factors include a personal or family history of HG... and a history of motion sickness or migraines.
And if you're expecting twins, triplets or more, well, buckle up. Mothers-to-be who are preparing for multiples are at higher risk for HG, possibly due to higher levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, the pregnancy hormone wreaking havoc in the body like a drunken freshman frat boy desperately trying to steamroll his way off campus.
There is a little bit of good news about HG, according to Knopman. If HG is monitored and the mother receives good medical treatment, she might actually be at lower risk for miscarriage. The thinking is that the higher hCG levels indicate a healthy and robust placenta," Knopman said. "The better the placenta, the better the chance that the pregnancy will progress.
Well, if anybody has a robust placenta, it's probably Kate. (We imagine it's shaped like a limited-edition Prada purse.)
When will our dear duchess be out and about again in her signature nude hose and heels doing wonderful charity work and coaxing George and Charlotte in and out of private jets, you ask? Ross said HG can stick around until 20 weeks (*gulp*) of pregnancy or even longer.It tends to improve in the last half of pregnancy but may persist until delivery," Ross said.
Kate's doctors are likely recommending the same things Ross recommends to her nonroyal HG patients: bananas, rice, applesauce and toast (the BRAT diet, which is neither Wisconsin bratwurst nor connotes any brattiness on Kate's part), along with ice-cold, fizzy beverages in teeny-tiny sips. No red-hot curries, super-salty foods or gigantic portions of protein. Vitamin B6, ginger and acupressure and acupuncture are also put to use whether or not they actually work by many HG sufferers seeking natural remedies.
Just close your eyes, sip your cool, carbonated ginger beverage, and think of England, Kate. We're rooting for you.

Hcg Diet Comments Off on What is Hyperemesis Gravidarum? – Ahmedabad Mirror
The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her third child and is once again suffering from the severe morning sickness which blighted her previous pregnancies. Kate was in early stages of her pregnancy with Prince George when she was admitted to hospital in December 2012 with hyperemesis gravidarum, a rare condition which causes severe vomitting during pregnancy.
Awareness of her tendency to the condition meant her second pregnancy was announced relatively early, rather than waiting for the 12 week milestone, as she cancelled public duties due to sickness. For women suffering hyperemesis gravidarum, the severity of the vomiting can cause dehydration, weight loss and a build-up of toxins in the blood or urine called ketosis. It affects 3.5 per 1,000 pregnant women and can cause women to vomit blood. Symptoms also include severe nausea, low blood pressure and fast heart rate, headaches, lethargy or confusion.
It is treated by giving women fluids intravenously and by anti-sickness tablets. The cause of HG is unknown. The leading theories state that it is an adverse reaction to the hormonal changes of pregnancy. It is more common in multiple pregnancies and is commonly experienced during the first 8 to 12 weeks of pregnancy. A scientific study has given preliminary evidence there may be a genetic component. Symptoms can be aggravated by hunger, fatigue, prenatal vitamins (especially those containing iron), odours, and diet.
In very simple terms hyperemesis means vomiting a lot and gravidarum means in pregnancy, said consultant obstetrician Daghni Rajasingam, spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 2014. The diagnosis is given when women cannot keep food or fluid down because she has severe vomitting. The women who are vomitting pretty much constantly, who cannot keep any nutrients down, they need to be admitted to hospital. She said the length of stay in hospital depends on each patient but many women are discharged in a matter of days.
It depends on how well the woman is keeping fluids down, Rajasingam added. She said the condition is thought to be caused by elevated levels of the pregnancy hormone, hCG. The body begins to produce human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) after conception. While cases of very severe, protracted and prolonged periods of vomiting are rare, nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is very common, affecting 60% to 80% of women. About 5% of mothers-to-be will be admitted to hospital during their pregnancy with some degree of the condition, Rajasingam said.
Once admitted, doctors will monitor women and let them go home once they can keep fluids down. Some alternative therapies are used to help reduce the symptoms and duration of the nausea and vomiting, including acupuncture, travel sickness bands, eating ginger and other herbal remedies. The condition is most common in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, Rajasingam added.

Caitlin Dean, trustee of the charity Pregnancy Sickness Support, also suffered from the condition.
"Imagine having a stomach bug that lasts for days and days, months and months - it is just relentless," she said.
"Any movement, any sound, any smell just makes you vomit.
"I vomited 20 to 30 times a day for the first few months, in the latter part it was just once or twice a day but it's still unpleasant.
"One of the big issues with it is isolation because is causes many women to be bed-bound.
"There is a real lack of understanding about the condition."

HCG Diet Research Study | The Dr. Oz Show
Hcg Diet Comments Off on HCG Diet Research Study | The Dr. Oz Show
There is an immense amount of controversy surrounding the HCG Diet. This piece will clarify many of the misconceptions and confusions surrounding this diet. The information contained herein has been developed over years of research to clarify if, and how, this hormone is affecting dieters. Keep in mind there are many opinions on the topic, yet this piece is written from my research experience, and to summarize talking points from the March 14, 2012 airing of The Dr. Oz Show.
History of the HCG Diet
Dr. ATW Simeons conducted an experimental treatment involving HCG injections, obese patients, and a special diet. The results of this study were outlined in the now infamous Pounds and Inches manuscript, written in 1954. Once this manuscript became public, it ushered in the use of HCG for weight loss, but it was not accepted as a method of treatment by the FDA or general medicine. Why? The studies in the 1970s and early 1980s failed to show how HCG was working to aid in weight loss. It doesnt make people lose faster; it makes people lose differently. No study to date has shown this, until my most recent clinical trial.
Why Do I Study HCG?
When I first began my examination of the use of HCG with a low-calorie diet, I found that there was little information on it. However, through the use of this regimen, I produced an astounding weight loss in a childhood friend who was desperate. He had struggled with obesity his entire life, and with two family members that had undergone gastric bypass, he was ready to try anything. He said, If you can help me lose weight, then youre onto something!
With daily injections of HCG and a strict diet he swore he would never be able to stick to (but he did), he lost 46 pounds in 6 weeks. In addition, his pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol virtually disappeared. The success spoke for itself. However, I now had a much bigger job ahead of me. I had to discover why it worked.
My Study Findings
In my first retrospective research study conducted from 2010-2011, I analyzed hundreds of patients. This was a large ongoing gathering of data to find proper doses by analyzing blood levels of HCG. In the process of studying the blood levels of the hormone, I found that patients using an oral form of HCG (drops or pellets) had no detectable HCG in the bloodstream. I concluded that HCG is unable to be absorbed by mouth.
Additional studies included the analysis of weekly EKGs and electrolytes in all study patients on a low-calorie diet to monitor safety. There was no significant change in cardiac function or blood electrolytes. However, it must be noted that the patients were all appropriately screened by a physician and a cardiologist prior to their participation in the study to make sure they were healthy enough for this diet. It is important for anyone considering a low-calorie diet to see their physician first to make sure they are a good candidate.
In my next set of studies, I conducted ongoing clinical trials. There were four randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies for which the usable data was pooled and analyzed. This meant we tested HCG patients against Placebo patients on the same diet. It was shown that both groups, HCG and placebo, lost weight, but their body structure in terms of fat and muscle were significantly different in the end. This data was revealed for the first time on the March 14, 2012 airing of The Dr. Oz Show.
The large graph shown to the audience illustrated the difference between HCG and Placebo.The HCG group lost an average of 13 pounds in a month, and the Placebo group lost an average of 15 pounds in a month. The weight loss in each group is similar. The striking difference is that the HCG group lost only 2 pounds of muscle, but the Placebo group lost 5 pounds of muscle. This was a significant difference. Anytime muscle is lost from the body frame, it hurts metabolism and puts someone at risk for regaining weight; this is what happens with Placebo or diet alone.
This leads us to conclude that the likely reason why HCG helps someone lose weight differently and better than with diet alone is because it spares muscle. This also helps explain why I do not see rebound weight gain with my patients. This is the first modern clinical trial to demonstrate how HCG may be working for lasting weight loss.
Why are people claiming that HCG causes regaining of weight?
The answer can be very simple. Many people who claim to have lost weight with HCG have only used the drops, which we now know cannot be absorbed. It is the same as dieting alone. Thats why people gain the weight back. The only way we have been able to demonstrate a protection against regaining weight is with the use of HCG injections.
What about recent studies?
There have not been any trials published in over 20 years. My trial is the first to show the difference in body composition between HCG and placebo.
Does this diet have to be done at 500 calories?
Any appropriate diet created by a nutritionist or weight-loss physician should involve a calculation of protein requirements to avoid muscle wasting. There should also be a consideration of activity level when planning an appropriate regimen. Dr. Emmas Protocol does not require the use of 500 calories.
Why is this form of treatment still controversial?
The majority of studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s looked strictly at weight loss, which wasnt the whole picture. Through my clinical trials, it is now becoming evident that the value of using HCG is as an aid to protect muscle mass, and strengthen metabolism over time. These are the new parameters I am studying in my clinical trials.
Is this a Do-It-Yourself Diet?
This is not a Do-It-Yourself diet. If you are considering trying this diet, you should make sure it is done appropriately through a knowledgeable physician, or enroll in a clinical trial.
Conclusion
I am privileged to be a part of the research of medicine. The overwhelming response from patients telling me how this treatment regimen has changed their lives is what keeps me motivated. I am certain that this data Ive discussed, along with continuing research, will show the medical community how this treatment is producing healthy and long-lasting weight loss in my patients.

Dr. Jamie Walraven and the staff at Ageless Wellness Center in Peachtree City have always made weight loss part of their treatment offerings, but now they have a new option for patients seeking a healthier lifestyle: Ideal Protein.
We felt like we neededa an additional program because the other programs we had didnt meet the needs for some of our patients, says Linda Faulkner, Certified Nurse Practitioner at Ageless Wellness. Our requirements were that it was medically sound, effective and healthy for our patients. Dr. Walraven didnt want to replace junk in a diet with a junk diet.
They didnt have to look far. Ellie White-Stevens, marketing director for Ageless Wellness and owner of marketing agency Dirt1x, transformed herself with Ideal Protein, losing more than 120 pounds - and keeping it off in the past year and a half.
Ellie told us this diet was doable, that it wasnt that hard, Faulkner says. After three months of research, we found Ideal Protein to be medically sound, the food nutritious and our patients able to consistently lose weight and then maintain their weight loss through a healthy lifestyle.
Ageless Wellness offers hunger suppressants and HCG (Human Chorionic Growth) injections as other weight loss methods. Because Ideal Protein doesnt require any medications, its a good alternative to medicine-based programs, Faulkner explains.
Developed by a medical doctor, the Ideal Protein Protocol works by removing most of the carbs from a diet. It calls for eating three Ideal Protein pre-packaged food items along with four cups of low carb veggies and eight ounces of protein every day.
The result puts the body into a state of ketosis, allowing it to burn stored fat for energy. Forcing the body to stay in a fat-burning mode, 24 hours a day, is called a ketogenic diet.
The program also includes personalized ongoing support.
In weight loss, you need somebody to walk with you and lift you up and encourage you every single week, Faulkner explains.
To that end, five staffers at Ageless Wellness are now going through Ideal Protein.
Were all in. Were committed to it, Faulkner says.
More than 80 different partial meal replacement options are available with Ideal Protein.
My favorite is the barbecue chips, Faulkner says. Im a chip person. Whats so nice about that is, when we used to do a diet, the carb craving would get us. But with this, the food supplements taste so good and fill you up, so you can be successful in the transition.
If you follow the diet, you will lose weight, Faulkner says. For women, thats an average of 2.5 pounds per week, and for men, 3.5 pounds per week.
White-Stevens, 40, started Ideal Protein when she weighed 314 pounds. At the time, she had alarming blood pressure elevation, elevated inflammatory markers and high cholesterol.
White-Stevens says she started losing weight immediately and rapidly. More than a year later, shes lost 120 pounds and gone from a size 24 to a size 12. But perhaps most importantly, her blood pressure and cholesterol are normal and her inflammatory markers are exceptional.
She also walks about four and a half miles every day now. Everything about her health has improved.
Improving the health of their patients is a priority for Ageless Wellness. They utilize the most cutting edge aspects of the Ideal Protein protocol. Participants have the option of wearing a bracelet like a Fitbit, called an iBand, to monitor their progress directly onto their Ideal Protein app.
The Ideal Protein philosophy of only partnering with healthcare facilities (its available through 3,700 clinics) is a real selling point, Faulkner says.
The commitment to our patients is that they will meet with a nurse practitioner initially to do a comprehensive health profile and screening with labs, and then follow up with a nurse or medical assistant for their weekly coaching, Faulkner says.
Besides Ideal Protein, Ageless Wellness also offers functional medicine, medical aesthetics and the latest in stem cell treatments. Medical staff offer teaching on both Ideal Protein and Stem Cell Treatments at the Learning Hour,
Interested persons can book an individual appointment for Ideal Protein or come to the next Learning Hour. (See info above)
Ageless Wellness Center is located at 1000 Commerce Drive, Suite 300, Peachtree City. For more information or to schedule a consultation, call 678-364-8414 or visit their website at agelesswellnessptc.com.
