Hoodia And Phentermine-Don't Play Russian Roulette

*Appetite Suppressant Pills - Are You Gambling with Them?*

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.

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.

*What is the Real Bullet? Phentermine*

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.

However, the pharmaceutical companies don't give up easy...it is currently sold as a Adipex-P, Ionamin, and a generic. The most recent "shame" company has combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and become known as Fen-Phen.

Then problems started showing up. In 1997, after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were removed from the market at the request of the FDA. Later, studies proved that 30% of those taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve problems.

I wonder why the FDA did not have these manufacturers remove this stuff from the market$. Oops.

*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.
