Hoodia And Phentermine-don’t Play Russian Roulette
*Appetite Suppressant Pills - Are You Gambling with Them?*
How does a nice game of Russian roulette sound to you? Here’s how we will play our little game. We will put a couple of bullets in the gun, one of the bullets will be a blank (completely harmless), and the other will be a regular bullet. Next we will point it to our head, give the chamber a spin and keep pulling the trigger until we hear a bang (or part of a bang).
Oh, boy, doesn’t that sound fun. Not really. Anybody with half a brain would not want to play Russian roulette with a live bullet in the gun. However, when it comes to diet pills, millions of smart people are playing Russian roulette every day.
These people purchase appetite suppressants without finding out what’s, well, in the chamber. The results can be disastrous.
*Phentermine, the Real Bullet*
Wikipedia gives this definition of phentermine:
“It is approved as an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk because of their weight and works by helping to release certain chemicals in the brain that control appetite.”
It was first marketed as Fastin. Then, after problems started showing up in those using it, it was removed from the market in 1998.
Well, the pharmaceutical companies don’t give up any too easythey are currently selling it as a Adipex-P, Ionamin, and a generic. The most recent “shame-of-a-company” has combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine, which is now known as Fen-Phen.
However, in 1997, after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings.
I wonder why the FDA did not have these manufacturers remove this stuff from the market$. Oops.
*Now Let’s Take a Look at Hoodia*
This diet pill does not affect a patient’s heart rate, mental state or even blood pressure. It simply and safely fools the body into thinking that it’s already had a lot of glucose and thus shuts off hunger signals. The natives in South Africa have been using it for thousands of years to suppress hunger with no side effects.
So when it comes to the hoodia and phentermine comparison, there is no comparison. So, if you want to use an appetite suppressant, choose wisely. And for maximum affect, make sure you throw in some right eating and exercise.
Tips On Hoodia Weight Loss Products
Although quite a rare plant, the Hoodia cactus has become very famous in a relatively short space of time; the potential of this plant is even getting experts excited. Of course it was only a matter of time until the diet industry added Hoodia weight loss products to their range; increasing numbers of people who want to shed pounds are using products containing extracts of this plant. Its origins are not a secret but its primary growing place is not known to many people that use it on a regular basis.
Hoodia Gordonii is a particular variety of plant which suppresses the appetite. It is only this type of Hoodia cactus that appears to possess this quality, despite there being twelve other varieties of the plant that can be found in the remote regions of South Africa.
For quite some time this remarkable cactus was studied by scientists and trials carried out on people to ascertain how effective it really was at suppressing the appetite. In fact a group of workers with the BBC while on tour, each consumed a leaf of Hoodia. Not one of the suffered any ill effects or felt an urge to eat for the remainer of the day.
Using weight loss products that have the extracts from the Hoodia plant, people have happily exclaimed the complete absense of any ill effects when they have used them. Alot of other appetite suppressants can not make that assertion.
Not only does it suppress the desire to eat but it also ensures that the correct amount of energy is supplied, so the user does not become tired as happens with some other products.
Wonderful as it is, it does not mean that you should stop eating healthily or drinking regularly. For people with unnaturally large appetites that are prone to putting on weight then the Hoodia weight loss pill is a safe way to control the desire to eat; although, it would not be healthy to stop eating altogether. Ideally, this is how Hoodia should be used, especially in obese people, just to control how much they eat.
An important point to make is that weight control products containing real extracts of this plant are expensive because the cactus is not common. With a simple search performed on the Internet you will find dozens of Hoodia weight loss treatments that come in a variety of promotional offers.
The chances are, these will not contain any of the plant at all, or at best, they will contain low doses that will be ineffectual. When you find something that appears too cheap to be genuine, think twice before you order it over the Internet. Real Hoodia is worth every penny, but unauthentic products may do more harm than good.
