Does Taking HCG Help In Losing Weight?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
Is HCG good for you to take to loose weight? I have heard good and bad things about this. I am currently taking it and i have problems with my thyroid. My dr. gave me the HCG cause i was over weight and needed to loose weight. I had ran, worked out like crazy and ate well...fruits and veggies, lean protein and high fiber. Still no weight would go! It was frustrating. The HCG is working for me.... but is it good to take? I do not want to harm my body in any way. AND what r the differences between HGH and HCG? From what i have read online HGH seems to be maybe a better alternative. But also sounds soooo good maybe it is too good to be true. Help , please!
