It has no known side-effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hoodia Gordonii affects the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these brain cells start firing and now you feel like you are full.  What the Hoodia seems to have is a molecule that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose in terms of this effect on the brain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It goes to the mid-brain and makes those nerve cells behave as if you were full. But you may not have not eaten. And you don't  want to."  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clinical trials&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the first animal trials for Hoodia. Rats, a species that will eat literally anything, stopped eating completely.  When the first human clinical trial was conducted, a morbidly (morbidly = deathly threat to their health) obese group of people were placed in a "phase 1 unit", a testing enviroment as close to prison as it can be,   All the volunteers could do all day was read papers, watch television, and eat anything at all they wanted with no restrictions.  Half were given Hoodia, half placebo. Fifteen days later the results were checked, the Hoodia group had reduced their calorie intake by 1000 calories a day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can now be a part of this stunning Success!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hoodia-gordonii-weight-loss-pills.com/links/hoodoba-hoodia-gordonii.php"&gt;Click Here for More Information about Hoodia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10560411-111766168610748915?l=hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.hoodia-gordonii-weight-loss-pills.com/links/hoodoba-hoodia-gordonii.php' title='Hoodia Proven to Work in Clinical Trials'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com/feeds/111766168610748915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10560411&amp;postID=111766168610748915' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10560411/posts/default/111766168610748915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10560411/posts/default/111766168610748915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com/2005/06/hoodia-proven-to-work-in-clinical.html' title='Hoodia Proven to Work in Clinical Trials'/><author><name>Yitzi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13303917554444684598'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>14</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10560411.post-111211078299507326</id><published>2005-03-29T07:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-29T07:39:43.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Hoodia Wars</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;With new comparison sites coming out every few weeks, the best advice is simply to discount them, and then make your own mind up about whether you can trust the brand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Another tactic that is confusing the consumer is the supposed differences in the quality of other brands. The most common is to do with the term "extract". Some companies claim that they sell an extract which is more powerful than non-extract products. (What is an extract? An extract is a concentrated from of a herb, that is derived after the crude herb has been mixed with water, alcohol, or another solvent and distilled or evaporated.). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;No one is selling Hoodia Gordonii extract, as it would be violating the patent held by CSIR (which has been leased to Phytopharm, who in turn have leased it to Unilever). Any company claiming to sell a Hoodia extract had better watch their step – apart from misleading consumers, Phytopharm and Unilever are unlikely to ignore such blatant patent theft. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Another common deceit is to claim to be 100% Hoodia while selling at what seems a really great low price. How can they do it? Simple – they"re telling the truth. They"re using the whole of the plant, rather than the "heart" of the plant which contains the active ingredient. As the "skin" of the Hoodia can account for as much as 40% of the weight, your 100% pure may only be 60% pure and not quite the bargain that you imagined. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;All the "Hoodia wars" seem to be doing is confusing potential customers, who become less able to take an informed decision about which product is best for them. Here are 4 questions that anyone wanting to buy Hoodia should ask, before parting with any money: 1.    Is this genuine Hoodia Gordonii from the Kalahari region of Southern Africa? (Hoodia is now being grown in China, Texas and elsewhere, and there is evidence that the Kalahari soil contributes to the effectiveness of the plant) 2.    What part of the plant is used? (Remember, it"s only the core of the plant that has been identified as having the active ingredient). 3.    Is it an extract or powder? (The right answer is powder). 4.    Is it Hoodia GORDONII? (There are many different types of plants in the Hoodia family – it is the Hoodia Gordonii that has been shown to be the appetite suppressant). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;For Genuine Hoodoba Hoodia Visit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hoodia-gordonii-weight-loss-pills.com"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;http://www.hoodia-gordonii-weight-loss-pills.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10560411-111211078299507326?l=hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.hoodia-gordonii-weight-loss-pills.com' title='The Hoodia Wars'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com/feeds/111211078299507326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10560411&amp;postID=111211078299507326' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10560411/posts/default/111211078299507326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10560411/posts/default/111211078299507326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com/2005/03/hoodia-wars.html' title='The Hoodia Wars'/><author><name>Yitzi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13303917554444684598'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10560411.post-110910672879519906</id><published>2005-02-22T13:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-24T07:30:58.200-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hoodoba Hoodia Gordonii</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The African name for Hoodia is Xhoba but scientists know it by its botanical name Hoodia Gordonii.

It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. &lt;p&gt;The African name for this plant is Xhoba but scientists know it by its botanical name, Hoodia gordonii.

Not 6 feet as some would have believe. The large brownish unpleasant smelling flower located at the tips of the Hoodia gordonii stems ensures its propagation and survival in the wild by emitting a distinct carrion odor to attract the flies which pollinate them. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10560411-110728897563038243?l=hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.hoodia-gordonii-weight-loss-pills.com' title='Welcome to Hoodia Gordinii'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com/feeds/110728897563038243/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10560411&amp;postID=110728897563038243' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10560411/posts/default/110728897563038243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10560411/posts/default/110728897563038243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoodia-gordonii-diet.blogspot.com/2005/02/welcome-to-hoodia-gordinii.html' title='Welcome to Hoodia Gordinii'/><author><name>Yitzi</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13303917554444684598'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
