What is Hoodia?
Hoodia gordonii, "Whoo De Ah", is the scientific name for a leafless, spiky succulent plant that grows throughout the semi-arid desert areas of Southern Africa primarily the Kalahari Desert. The local inhabitants (the San) have eaten Hoodia stems to defend against hunger and thirst when on long journeys or during times of drought, because it acts as an appetite suppressant.
After years of diligent research, science has isolated multiple compounds in this all-natural food that was responsible for dramatic weight loss. This trend has been widely reported, but this represents only one of several chemical compounds found in the Hoodia succulent. It is proven completely safe and it contains no stimulates that could contribute to any jittery feeling associated with weight loss pills and other fast weight loss diet products of the last ten years. It appears to be more health safe than other supplements.
The Hoodia plant is registered as a protected species to prevent Bio-Piracy but the African government has allowed the plant to be grown on a limited number of commercial farms in South Africaowned by private farmers.
In the wild, Hoodia takes five to six
years to grow to maturity but with commercial farming techniques, the plant is now being grown to maturity in as little as two years in sustainable quantities.
The Hoodia plant has become world renowned for its effects as an appetite suppressant and weight loss supplement.
In order to become eligible to export to the Hoodia to the USA and other nations, Hoodia farmers are required to procure anC.I.T.E.S. certificate which is issued by the African government on a per export-shipment basis.
How some are using the new extracts from the Hoodia plant? Well as you might have guessed the plant is mainly being leveraged as a weight loss supplement. The United States is Especially excited for these products and the dramatic effects of the Hoodia on hunger and thirst are amazing.
The chemical in Hoodia work within the satiety center of the brain by releasing a chemical compound like glucose, but this chemical has been shown to be up to 100,000 times stronger than glucose. The hypothalamus gland receives this chemical signature as an indication that enough food has been consumed and in turn reduces a person's appetite.
Pure organic Hoodia is reported to contain a miracle molecule that fools the brain into thinking you are full, and claims are that the Hoodia chemicals even stop you from thinking about food.
Being healthy is important and taking our weight seriously is also important. Time will tell if this new wonder compound can really perform the way it says it can.
I am sure most Americans will be watching as we are becoming a nation of unhealthy and overweight people

Hoodia ? the New Wonder Weight Controller
Copyright 2006 Geoff Morris
London Feb 2006
It may come as no surprise to you, but hundreds of millions of Westerners are now clinically over weight. If you spend any time in America, you only have to go to any of the hundreds of fast food chains to see why this is such a problem; both the portions and the customers are getting way too big!
And many parts of Europe and especially the UK are following fast on their heels.
Now, many visitors to weight lifting and body building sites are not particularly obese, but many of them are looking to reduce their body fat to its minimum while at the same time building up quite striking muscle tissue. They are well aware that to really rip and shred those muscles you have to be very lean already, since you can't sculpt fat!
But of course, the other side effect that haunts body-builders, is that the minute they stop their exercise routines ? for whatever reason ? they worry that they will...

Why is Hoodia such a sought after weight loss supplement?

A gift from the native San people who live in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, this tiny plant the natives' call "Xhoba" has already began impacting the world of weight loss with its extraordinary hunger stopping traits. What the Aboriginal San Bushmen have known for a long time and the rest of us are merely beginning to realize is that Hoodia has appetite suppressant qualities distinguished by plant scientists and named P57. This P57 active element has been examined, tested and identified to have the power to reduce calorie intake by up to 1,000 calories a day.So will any South African cactus do when it comes to helping you to stay away from snacks? Indeed not, don't go to the local florist and buy yourself a desert cactus to eat. Of the succulent and asclepiad genus there are 2,000 species of ascleoiadaceae, divided into 300 genera, half from the succulent category....

Hoodia and the San Tribe of South Africa
Hoodia has been used by the San people of Southern Africa as an appetite suppressant and cure for indigestion for ages. The San people are perhaps better known as the Bushmen, and were shown to the world in the movie 'The Gods Must Be Crazy.'
There are today approximately 85,000 San in the world today, and about half still live as nomadic hunters and gatherers. They are generally short in stature; their skin is yellowish brown in color; and they have broad noses, flat ears, bulging foreheads, and prominent cheekbones.
The San were the original inhabitants of Southern Africa. They were hunters and gatherers, and while they did not have a system of writing, they developed a complex language that makes use of many click sounds. The San lived a nomadic lifestyle, with small hunting bands wandering the land in search of food.
They used poison arrows to hunt game, and ostrich eggs as a means of carrying water. Their knowledge of local plants and animals, and...

Earlier Only Tribes, Now Whole World Knows How to Curb Obesity
Darkness always has a ray hope behind it; Africa is known as Dark Continent of the world. But, the tribes of Kalahari Desert have a ray of hope for millions of obese around the world. This ray of hope is a natural herb which looks like cactus and found in the desert. The name of this highly beneficial succulent plant is Hoodia .
The tribal people of Kalahari Desert for their existence depend upon hunting.
Hunting in desert is completely different from hunting in a jungle. Here, there is no availability of food, water; moreover animals are rare and one has to stay in desert for long. Despite of such an unfavorable condition, tribal people are able to stay in the desert and hunt. Hoodia helps them in their long stay in the desert, because once chewed this plant suppresses appetite for 24 hours. Yes, appetite suppression for 24 hours; no other appetite suppressant invented until now can control appetite for that much long period.
Though beneficial...

Hoodia Diet Pills - Fact Or Fiction?
Hoodia Diet Pills - Fact Or Fiction?- by A lot has been written about hoodia diet pills lately. Can taking a hoodia based supplement realy help you loose weight? Actually, yes it looks like it can. First some background on the hoodia cactus.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 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 long hunting trips.
When South African scientists were routinely testing it, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which has since been christened P 57. P 57 affects a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full. What the Hoodia seems to contain...
