Hoodia - Weight loss 'miracle'?

[Razorguns]

Who's keeping track of the Hoodia craze?

Apparently it's a plant, used by san bushmen of south africa for ages to stave off hunger, and lose weight. Clinical trials shows it works damn good.

Of course, fat, white businessmen have arrived on the scene, thrown up patents, and will now pocket millions, while fucking over the Bushmen.

Unfortuately for them, it's impossible to grow outside of s.a., takes 5 years to ferment, and difficult to satisfy a nation of fatties. Pfizer even said no.

Until then, i guess all we've got is a internet full of fake hoodia products from unscrupulous people trying to cash in.

I used VPX Dietex last yr for competitoin prep - its hoodia based. THat stuff killed my appetite flat dead. Made the last weeks of dieting much easier. Doesn't work for everyone tho. That's the only hoodia product I've used.

So it staves off hunger? That's it?

Sheesh. I've got the miracle cure then. It's called 50 hour days with a deadline of next week. Works wonders.
