Hoodia Gordonii Cactus - Trip to Africa...Continued from Hoodia Cactus BBC brief The BBC team drove into the desert nearly four hours north of Capetown. Then they began asking around through an interpreter as to where the cactus could be found in the wild. They found an rather ugly cactus which has about 10 to 15 tentacles or branches. It is about the size of a very long cucumber or squash. Each tentacle is covered in thorny spikes. To eat some you have to carefully peel the outside. It has an unpleasant taste and most people would find it difficult to eat raw. The BBC crew and reporter ate about 5 bites each and didn't feel hungry until late the next evening, nearly 36 hours later. They didn't "feel" like eating dinner. They said the plant had a feel-good almost aphrodisiac quality. The most significant issue was that they reported not even THINKING about food. They said their brains really were telling them they were full. It was weird and completely mind boggling. Later when they reported eating they did so " without appetite and very little pleasure". Partial then full appetite returned slowly after another 24 hours. The attorney who traveled with the reporters is very excited for the future. He said "The San will finally throw off thousands of years of oppression, poverty, social isolation and discrimination. "We will create trust funds with their Hoodia royalties and the children will join South Africa's middle classes in our lifetime. I envisage Hoodia cafes in London and New York, salads will be served and the hoodia gordonii cactus cut like cucumber on to the salad. It will need flavoring to counter its unpleasant taste, but if it has no side effects..." For a few months after this story aired people were traveling to the Kalahari to steal the cactus. It is now hard to find and illegal to export. Some companies have illegally exported it to Mexico and other desert climate countries and are trying to duplicate the effects. If you buy Hoodia make sure you buy from licensed suppliers selling only African product. The other countries products don't seem to do much. This website has 77+ pages of information on Hoodia Gordonii and how it will definitely make you lose weight. If your tired of reading and just want to order some visit these companies. They seem to have the best deal. I ordered mine on Monday and had it sent overnight. Started taking Hoodia on Tuesday night and didn't eat again until Friday night at a late party. I wasn't really hungry then but I didn't want to be rude at my wife's get together. Anyway I have been taking the Hoodia Gordonii for 2 months now and the results are incredible. I only eat when I want to now, and at special events, because I really have no appetite to speak of. The plant is so strong it even takes away your thirst, so make sure and drink lots of water! It feels pretty cool not being controlled by stomach pains. Try the good stuff today and you will not be dissapointed with the hoodia gordonii cactus. Contact Hoodia Gordonii Guide Home
