Brief Answer:
It is not approved by FDA yet for such treatments

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. Based on the history you have shared regarding fatty liver disease and HCG diet plan, let me clarify that it's role in weight loss is still debatable and for fatty liver disease it isn't among the FDA proven treatment options. Lowering the fat and sugar intake is going to benefit in both in either ways so this approach combined with exercise will be more balanced and safe approach. So why to risk it with hormonal adjunction? as this might be associated with serious side effects. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
