Can I Take HCG Diet While Suffering From Non-hodgkins Lymphoma?
My boyfriend (age 47) has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Stage 1. He wants to do the HCG diet by injection. Can he safely inject this hormone into his body? I did a little research and it said not to do the diet if you had a "hormone-related cancer". I don't think, yet don't know, if non-Hodgkins is hormone-related....thank you

Hi
Hcg injections are not safe while suffering from non hodgkins lymphoma
This diet is dangerous because it is basically a starvation diet. And the weight will return when the shots are stopped
Finally, the long term effects of HCG are not proven.
I would strongly advise against it in you
