We would like to clarify a very important aspect regarding the treatment of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) using our HCG-Desensitizer. For some, it may be difficult to believe there exists such a treatment that can guarantee recovery from HG. What Dr. Chen (inventor of the HG treatment here in Beijing) specifically means when he says his HCG Desensitizer is effective, is when we administer it to patients with HG, their 3 primary symptoms (the violent vomiting, sleeplessness, and excessive salivation) will definitely alleviate and lessen to the point where they disappear. They regain the ability to sleep, they regain their appetite, and cease excessive salivation. Health levels are restored to balance and many of them are able to walk normally again.
However, there exists a certain group that experience complex and difficult course of treatment. These types of patients usually exhibit pre-existing conditions (it may be psychological stress, trauma, mild or severe depression, mild schizophrenia, diabetes etc) that may have triggered and intensified with the onset of HG. Our doctors have personally witnessed countless of these cases and believe that some of these existing pre-conditions may or may not have arisen from their history of experiencing multiple pregnancy losses and experiencing previous severe HG causing a form of phobia. Dr. Chen defines this as “pregnancy phobia” or “pregnancy-PTSD” where it manifests itself into a mental trauma or disorder with varying severity. This is a highly complex aspect of Hyperemesis, and despite our years of dealing with HG, we cannot say for sure what exactly is the process that triggers the worsening and intensification.
Hyperemesis itself and the pre-existing condition have an independent relationship, but in many cases these pre-existing conditions share similar clinical manifestations/symptoms with HG, blurring the line between the two. And may cover the effectiveness of our HCG Desensitizer.
For example, we see many patients with some form of depression that is accompanied with their HG. In many cases, they do not have or develop severe forms of depression before HG or pregnancy, but together with HG and being a few weeks into their gestation, their depression worsens to the point where it develops into a major depressive disorder. After a diagnosis of these HG patients and administering our treatment, these patients no longer exhibit the 3 primary symptoms (excessive vomiting, insomnia and salivation).
On the surface, the patient would seem like she has not recovered from HG; and patient’s family or in some cases, even other doctors will begin to cite how our treatment is ineffective. This is actually due to the co-existing depressive disorder. The patient has already fully recovered from HG, but not her existing condition (depression) and because of that despite the absence of HG, she begins to exhibit “psychological symptoms” such as how she regains her appetite but is unable to eat or even struggles opening her mouth. She is able to walk, but she states she is unable to move her legs or leave her bed. She is able to sleep but stays awake instead. To deal with these complex situations, we need to simultaneously treat both HG and her pre-existing condition that is independent of HG, and only then will they recover quickly.
