Hoodia

[Guest guest]

Has anyone tried the Hoodia patch as an appetite

suppressant? I know hoodia is a genuine plant from

South Africa, that the Bush people have used to stave

off hunger when necessary.

Naturally, the Bush people are not recieving a dime

for introducing the plant to the companies. I won't

get into political statements here.

There was a 60 Minutes program about it 2 years ago.

The plant is real, but it grows in patches here and

there in the desert regions.

They mentioned in the program that they were having

difficulty reproducing it chemically. At that time

they were trying grow it in little farms.

You all know I am not one to hop on the herbal

supplement band, because so many of the things are

fake, and you aren't getting what you paid for. The

herbal industry is not regulated by the FDA, nor

anyone else.

Here is the 60 minutes site for the original program:

My daughter has ordered a hoodia patch, and I will let

the group know how it works for her. I will let you

know which product she uses if it is effective.
