Internet Fraudsters Are Dragging the Good Name of Hoodia Gordonii Through the Mud--What You Need to Know Before You Buy
Toronto, Canada (ContentDesk) August 11, 2005 -- Millennium Health Supplements (Canada) Inc., a Western Cape licensed importer of South African hoodia gordonii and internet retailer of HoodiaHoodia thinks this all-natural appetite suppressant is the most incredible discovery in the weight loss industry, but beware, hoodia scams are all around.Everyone is jumping on the hoodia gordonii bandwagon and the internet is teeming with new companies producing a wide range of hoodia gordonii products.
While there are some real hoodia products available you will have to do your homework to find them.
Many products being sold as Hoodia Gordonii are filled with "unidentifiable plant material", starch, rice powders, and in some reported cases even filled with sawdust.
Some sites even claim to have a 20:1 extract, which is not possible.
The appetite-suppressing molecule in Hoodia Gordonii cannot be isolated by giant pharmaceutical companies that would like to produce a drug made from Hoodia Gordonii, so it makes sense when Jen Cully, President of Millennium Health Supplements (Canada) Inc.
says; ?If big pharma cannot isolate the molecule then how is it possible to have a 20:1 extract?
What are they extracting?"Other sites claim they are authorized to rank Hoodia Gordonii products and suppliers.
These sites are always supported by one of the top ranking suppliers listed on that particular site and the site is just used to trash competitors.
There are 5 or 6 of these sites on the net and none of them are authorized by any agency to rate hoodia gordonii products or the companies that sell them.
These sites provide a great deal of misleading information and steal business from the honest and hardworking people.????Cully says, "do lots of research before you purchase any products over the internet.
Make sure that the company you purchase from has a telephone number and address listed on the site.
Just because you are on the internet doesn't mean you can't call them to ask questions and talk to a customer service representative.
Send them an email and see how they respond.
Look for a money back guarantee and don't be fooled by companies that offer a ?double your money back' guarantee."
Check with BBB and other consumer sites to see if the company you want to purchase from has had any negative reports filed against them.All-natural and herbal products don't work the same way pharmaceuticals or drugs do.
Drugs are geared to work for everyone, every time.
Natural products can take longer to work and they don't work on everyone.
While the effects of hoodia gordonii can begin to work immediately on some people, it can take 2 or 3 weeks to kick in for others.
Unlike man-made drugs, herbals often work more slowly.
Ms. Cully states that, "the majority of our customers find that they feel the effects within the first few days and some, like Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes, begin to feel the effects within a day or so.
If you are one of those that hoodia gordonii does not work on right away, be patient.
We have had many customers tell us that they began to feel the effects just when they were nearing the end of the first bottle." Last but by all means not least, stay away from products that contain stimulants.
Hoodia gordonii has no stimulants and no known side effects.
Some products state that they contain fat burners and metabolizing agents which really only speed up your heart rate creating a jumpy and nervous energy.
Stimulants can cause your blood pressure to elevate and they can be extremely dangerous.
Read the list of ingredients in any blended products and look them up on the internet to see if they are a stimulant.
Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy.
Give yourself a chance.
Look for results to show within 3 ? 4 weeks of beginning any weight loss program or regimen.
If you expect to see results in less time it is unreasonable and you are bound for failure.
Be patient and sensible if you are trying to lose excess weight.
Whether it is 20 lbs or 100 lbs, you didn't gain that weight overnight and you shouldn't try to take it off overnight.
Walking an extra 1000 steps 3 or 4 times per week can make a huge difference in speeding up weight loss, it is a natural way of boosting your metabolism and best of all, it's free.
Make a plan yourself and even if you fall of off your program get right back on it the next day.Contact:Jen Cully1-905-623-9239e-mail protected from spam bots.
Hoodia And Weight Loss
San tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa have one of the oldest primitive cultures in existence, maybe as old as 100,000 years. They are hunter-gatherers and go on long hunting expeditions. Given the harsh desert and scarcity of game, they chew on a succulent plant called Hoodia Gordonii to keep off hunger and thirst.
In 1937 a Dutch anthropologist recorded, this fact and in the 1960s CSIR, the South African research council, started a study on the plant. In 1997 CSIR took out a patent on a molecule of Hoodia, named P57, as an aid in weight-loss treatment. In 1998 they made an agreement with a British company, Phytopharm, to test and market the product.
Phytopharm carried out the usual clinical trails of P 57 and announced a very positive result in 2001.
In a double-blind study volunteers were given 400mg of dried Hoodia per day. After 15 days they reduced their calorie intake by 1,000 per day. The control group did not show any appreciable...

"It works, there's no question of that.
I eat a lot less than I used to.
Sometimes I have to remind myself to eat because I don't crave food anymore like I used to.
That's a good thing since the foods I used to crave were also the foods that packed on the pounds."

In comparison to ********* (an ephedra supplement - author), it's a lot better for me because I don't get the shakes all the time.
I feel normal, but...

Targeted Email Advertising Campaigns ? Do They Really Work?
Copyright 2006 Michael Mould
As a normal course of online business, we all want to increase our website traffic with buyers looking for our products, but none of us wants to increase our traffic just for the sake of using up our bandwidth.
So, many businesses fall victim to the slick advertising of "targeted" email campaigns claiming they have lists of opt-in customers looking for products like ours.
Do you really believe these con men?
How many people do you know that put their email addresses on lists asking to be sent information about a specific type of product if and when some clown with a list of email addresses happens to come across that specific product?
I get at least a half dozen emails every day trying to push Viagra and Cialis on me and I sure didn't ask for information about products of this nature.
I also get Hoodia advertisements that I never asked for.
Did you know that the company that holds all of the...

Does Hoodia Promote Weight Loss That's Too Fast?
Memphis, TN (ContentDesk) June 14, 2006 -- Health officials and weight loss experts say they believe the newly discovered Hoodia Gordonii, a plant that tricks the brain by making the stomach feel full, is the silver bullet theyve been seeking for decades.???A new pill, called DiatrinH, contains the appetite suppressant Hoodia, which is found inside cactus trees in the African Kalahari desert. The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the worlds oldest and most primitive tribes, have been eating Hoodia for thousands of years to stave off hunger during long hunting trips.The first scientific investigation of the plant was conducted at South Africas national laboratory. Because Bushmen were known to eat hoodia, it was included in a study of indigenous foods. "What they found was when they fed it to animals, the animals ate it and lost weight," says Dr. Richard Dixey, who heads an English pharmaceutical company called Phytopharm.In the study, people given hoodia ended up eating about 1...
