Dr. Albert Theodore William Simeons (1900 in London – 1970 in Rome) was the leading proponent of a weight-loss protocol based on injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
In 1954, he published a book called "Pounds and Inches",[1] and a paper in the Lancet on his theories.
[2] Scientific consensus does not support Simeons's claims, finding no weight loss attributable to the use of hCG.
