Some very interesting information about HOODIA: Please read!

Hoodia Botanical cacti was discovered first in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Angola. There are about 20 species in this family but the cactus gordonii is the one that contains a natural appetite suppressant.
The Hoodia plant is a genus in the Asclepiadaceae family. There are approximately 20 species in the genus. The unusual flowers are flat and saucer-like in shape and red, purple to brown or mottled dark yellow in colour. Flowers form prolifically near the stem tips in summer. The short stems are many angled with white spikes appearing at short intervals on each angle. Stems are single or branch forming, they occur in variable shades of green. Plants are found in a large part of Southern Africa, also other desert living circumstance.
Deep inside the African Kalahari desert, grows an ugly cactus called the Hoodia. It thrives in extremely high temperatures, and takes years to mature. The Hoodia gordonii has become lately in the spot light of a public interest as a supplement for diet by suppressing hunger and thirst. Since time immemorial, the succulent Hoodia has grown in the Kalahari desert in southern Africa and has been eaten by the San bushmen during their long hunting trips. Its juice takes the edge off appetite and thirst, and has enabled the hunters to respect their tradition of bringing home their entire catch, without eating of it on the way.
The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, had been eating the Hoodia for thousands of years, to stave off hunger. During their hunting trips they cut off a stem of the Hoodia cactus about the size of a cucumber, and munched on it over a couple of days.
The Haioms of northern Namibia still use Hoodia sap to treat allergic reactions in the eyes, and to treat severe stomach pain they boil Hoodia pieces in water and drink the brew.
The Anikhwe of northern Botswana feed children who "eat too much" pieces of Hoodia to make them eat less. Already decades ago obese members of the Khomani community of north-western South Africa were eating the Hoodia to slim down, or to maintain a high energy level. In the old days people consumed the plant to meet the requirements of a healthy body whereas today overweight young people do so to slim down to meet the requirements of fashion. Now the Hoodia, which grows to 6ft - taller than the bushmen themselves - is in the centre of public interest the cactus also attracted the interest of the Western drug industry.
Extracts from the Hoodia plant have shown in clinical trials on obese subjects to reduce caloric intake by 30% to 40%. Significant weight loss has resulted from such a drop in caloric intake. Cultivating these slow growing plants can be difficult, they need temperatures of at least 10 -16 oC (50-61 F) in sun or shade. There are about 20 species in this family. The plant form a clump of short, upright stem in pale green.
The History of Hoodia Discovery: In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San indigenous people in the Kalahari desert near what is now the South Africa-Namibia border noted that they sucked on the Hoodia plant as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher. These bushmen did not eat on their two to three day hunts; instead, they munched on the stem of this succulent to suppress their hunger and thirst. The San people, known for their survival skills, rock art, trance-dancing and mystic symbiosis with their semi-desert or savannah environment, can trace their heritage back some 27,000 years on the basis of rock paintings drawn by their ancestors. The reason it has taken so long to bring this natural compound to the marketplace has to do with modern research methodology since the effects were first observed in 1937 by a Dutch anthropologist studying the San Bushman of the Kalahari Desert. He noticed that they munched on the stem of a certain variety of Hoodia plant as an appetite suppressant and thirst quencher before and during nomadic hunts through the sandswept and sparsely vegetated area.
Interestingly, the San, who can trace their heritage back 27,000 years based on rock paintings, are one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes. They have known about the properties of Xhoba for thousands of years. Besides alleviating hunger and thirst, Hoodia Gordonii botanical also provides a state of alertness but without the jittery feeling produced by the current Western diet remedy of ephedra stacked with caffeine. Thus it is an ideal choice for days' long hunts where prey is tracked over hundreds of miles.
Hoodia sat on the back shelf in a lab for almost another thirty years when South African scientists at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) began studying it. Lab animals fed the flesh of the cactus lost weight, but otherwise suffered no ill effects.
What is Hoodia? Does Hoodia Help Weight Loss? .... Hoodia is an ugly cactus that first discovered the African Kalahari desert. It thrives in extremely high temperatures, and takes years to mature. Kalahari natives been eating the Hoodia for thousands of years. Scientists using extracts of Hoodia believe they can manufacture an organic diet pill that reduces appetite and attacks obesity. Because Hoodia has no known side-effects, and contains a powerful molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full, experts consider that, when properly developed and tested, Hoodia weight loss pills may be a solution to the obesity epidemic.
Why we need Hoodia? Obesity is a growing problem in Western countries, where 100 million people are dangerously overweight. Doctors say excessive weight gain causes a myriad of medical problems including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and the onset of strokes.
The truth about food after 40 is that it is required for maintenance only. We really don't need to eat that much to keep healthy, trim and fit. The problem is we live in a culture that forces food at us. Here in America the tendency is to snack all day. For many of us there are no meal times. We sneak down to the fridge at two in the morning and hit the snacks, consume huge amounts of calories and still not feel full. We think too much about food, and make too many ceremonies around it. But how can we stop? The miracle of Hoodia Botanical is that it's able to do it for you! Hoodia extracts gives you the freedom and control you've always wanted. It allows you to lose weight in the knowledge and comfort that you'll never miss out on a luncheon, dinner, or festive occasion again for fear of overeating.
Hoodia Botanical works by mimicking the effect that glucose has on nerve cells in the brain in effect fooling the body into thinking it is full, even when it is not, thus curbing the appetite. The irony that some of the world's most overfed people may benefit from some of the hungriest was not lost on the San. "At first people here were a bit shocked," said a professor at the South African San Institute and a campaigner for the rights of indigenous tribes. "Why would anybody want to lose weight by eating the hoodia plant? Because it's meant for when you're traveling across the desert and you don't have enough to eat. So we thought it was a bit weird." hoodia extracts kills the appetite and attacks obesity, is organic with no synthetic or artificial appetite control agents, has no known side effects, contains a miracle molecule (up to 100000 times more powerful than glucose) that fools the brain into believing you are full, and even stops you from thinking about food. But it actually does MORE... hoodia extracts also have a natural feel-good aphrodisiac quality. Plus, this wonder-plant from which it's made is said to give the San tribesmen abundant energy to hunt by day and, superhuman-like strength to make love all night long! It is also known to cure hangovers and upset stomachs too... What more could you ask?
Since Hoodia Contains a powerful molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full, experts consider that, when properly developed and tested, Hoodia weight loss formulas may be a solution to the obesity epidemic.
Within the mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, blood sugar goes up and these nerve cells signal that you are full. The Hoodia Molecule P57 is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells react as if you were full. But you have not eaten. Nor do you want to.
Clinical Diet and Weight Loss Trials of Hoodia: The first animal trials for Hoodia were on rats. Rats will eat literally anything. But after being given Hoodia they stopped eating completely. When the first human clinical trial was conducted, a morbidly obese group of people were placed in a "phase 1 unit", a place like a prison. All the volunteers could do all day was read papers, watch television, and eat. Half were given Hoodia, half placebo. Fifteen days later, the Hoodia group had reduced their calorie intake by 1000 a day.
These remarkable weight control results are the reason why scientists see Hoodia weight loss pills as a potential answer to obesity and severe overweight.
