Hoodia and Phentermine-Don't Play Russian Roulette

*Don't Gamble With Appetite Suppressants*

Russian Roulette. Now there is a fun game...lets play. In our game we will put a couple of bullets in the chamber, one will be a harmless blank and the other will be a regular bullet, fit to do it's damage. Now all we have to do is give the chamber a spin, put the barrel against our nose, and pull the trigger until it goes boom.

Does that sound like something you, an intelligent human being would want to play. Of course not. However, there are millions of people playing Russian roulette with their diet pills.

These people purchase appetite suppressants (diet pills) without knowing what's, well, in the chamber. The results can be very destructive.

*What is the Real Bullet? Phentermine*

Here is the Wikipedia 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 sold under the name of Fastin. Then, it was removed from the market (in 1998), after problems started showing up in those using it.

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.

For some reason, the FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market. I wonder why$. Oops, that should have been a question mark.

*Now How About 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.
