About Albert T. W. Simeons
Lived 1900 – 1970. Albert T. W. Simeons was an endocrinologist.
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", and a paper in the Lancet on his theories.
Scientific consensus does not support Simeons's claims, finding no weight loss attributable to the use of hCG.
