[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 48482, member: 3"] WTF! Sublingual HCG? That does not work! This is what the paper said: "Subjects who did not respond to placebo were randomized to receive 1 drop of HCG (0.5 United States Phamacopeia IU) or placebo under the tongue 4 times daily for 12 weeks. They were evaluated 1 week after being randomized (week 5), and again at weeks 8, 12 and 16. At each visit they underwent physical examination and measurement of serum electrolytes, total testosterone, complete blood count, PSA, Qmax and PVR, and completed the AUA total symptom index and SSEQ. All subjects were evaluated at a 4-week followup visit after completing the study. No study medications were administered during this period. Each subject was evaluated by the same procedures at week 20 that were used at the end of the randomization period (week 16) except prostate size was not determined.HCG was administered in bacteriostatic water. Each dose (1 sublingual drop) of HCG solution contained 0.5 USP IU HCG. HCG solution had no color, no odor and no taste. Bacteriostatic water was used as the placebo agent. At each of the 3 participating sites a research pharmacist used a randomization list to prepare HCG and placebo solutions in 10 ml multiple use bottles with droppers. Investigators and subjects were blinded to the preparation that each subject received. Prostate volume was measured by digital examination by the same site investigator at baseline and again at week 16." [/QUOTE]
