37 pounds Gone

"You know what I love most? ...my legs don't rub together anymore"

If you're anything like me (struggling with my weight most of my life) then you were probably elated a couple years ago when a new product came to America that we all thought was going to be the solution to our weight woes—the African bushflower, Hoodia Gordonii. When I heard about this plant on 60 Minutes, I rushed out to your nearest drug store and bought the first bottle that said Hoodia on it.

Unfortunately, that first bottle I rushed out to buy did not work for me, and neither did the next 11 bottles I bought. So if you have experienced the disappointment of one or more ineffective Hoodia products, believe me, you are not alone.

Yes—Hoodia works. It can stop your hunger and cravings. And there's more you need to know...

Hoodia is NOT a hoax, a mirage, or a fantasy. It does indeed have very real appetite-suppressing abilities. It can have the power to help you lose as much weight as you want without feeling hungry.

However, hoodia is getting harder and harder to get. It takes 5-7 years for a hoodia cactus to be ready to harvest. On top of that, only one province in all of Africa is allowing it to be exported.

...it will come in your email box

...it will be your resource to refer back to whenever you have a question.

This makes Hoodia a very expensive, hard to get ingredient. And corporate drug companies don't want this kind of headache (there is easier money to be made with other products). And many companies are using very deceptive marketing (what us ole Kentucky boys call Lies). They will do anything to attach 'hoodia' to their product name ... even when there's very little actual hoodia in it!

I’ve Done My Best to Cut Through All The Hoodia Hype For You

I developed this website for one reason and one reason only—to cut through all the hype that is constantly surrounding Hoodia. I’ve done months of research and been in contact with many actual Hoodia suppliers, and through that, I’m finally able to separate Hoodia Fact from Hoodia Fiction.

I am living proof that Hoodia Gordonii will kill your appetite, will give you the ability to lose weight without starving yourself, and is the best diet pill on the market.

However, hoodia can only accomplish these things under certain conditions: it must be 100% pure Hoodia in at least a 750mg dosage. The thing is, almost all of the Hoodia that you see advertised does NOT meet those conditions, meaning that it will not accomplish the three things I mentioned above.

Seems simple enough, right? You should just be able to look at the label and make a decision? WRONG. The companies marketing Hoodia can be very, very sneaky—and they will find a way to make you believe that what they are offering is the real thing, even if it’s not.

And that brings me back to my website. As I said before, I started this site so that everyday people like you and me would have access to real, proven information, and so that we could make an educated decision about which of the literally thousands of Hoodia products to use to effectively lose weight.

A Little Bit of Information About Me

I sure hope you are saying to yourself, "And just WHY should I listen to you, buddy?" I know all too well about all the people out there talking about Hoodia, and it’s really hard to know who to trust. I sure like to know who I am getting my information from, so here’s a little bit about me.

us2 I am a 33 year old man, married for 4 years, and I have a beautiful 3 year old son (born premature at 2lbs. 5oz.). My wife and I were just as interested in the appetite-killing promises as everyone else when the Hoodia craze hit, and we tried a LOT of different products—12, to be exact. So, let’s think about that for a minute, I spent well over $800 on Hoodia products.

And then I finally found the one that helped me to lose 62 pounds and and keep it off. You know all those things experts say are going to happen when you take Hoodia—like you aren’t hungry for hours on end, you don’t notice any hunger pangs, etc? All those things actually happened to me.

I was really very amazed, because by this point, I had decided that Hoodia was just another big hype—another way to sell millions of dollars of ineffective diet pills. It was Rush that made me realize that it wasn’t me, it was all those other companies out there deceiving the buying public with their marketing jargon.

I don’t actually work for any Hoodia manufacturer...I am just a family guy who was so impressed with a product that helped me lose 62 pounds that I started a web site. I always encourage people to do your own Hoodia research first then take a few minutes with my site. After seeing all the others web sites, you'll appreciate my genuine non-hype efforts.

After you've seen the other sites (so called 'ranking' and/or 'review' sites, ask yourself ... on what are those rankings/reviews based? and who paid for them to be created?), I think you'll agree my site provides the most complete unbiased, truthful look at the hoodia market.

Hoodia Did All This For Me, and It Can For You, Too

Once you find a product with real, pure Hoodia, and enough of it, it is not uncommon for you to experience the following:

-Have no desire to eat all day long
-Eat substantially less at mealtimes
-Feel no cravings between meals
-Lose weight without starving yourself and without ever feeling hungry
-See your self-esteem skyrocket as your excess fat falls off
-Be surprised every time you look in the mirror at how great your body looks

Is Hoodia Safe?

First, I'm no doctor and I strongly suggest you ask your doctor if you have concerns. However, I have talked to, emailed with, and otherwise came in contact with hundreds of people taking hoodia products. I have not heard of a single incident with side effects, interactions with medications or other health issues. Hoodia is not a drug, it is a naturally growing cactus, just like apples or oranges and I don't know anyone who can't eat an apple (and probably should eat more apples :)

Feel Nervous or Jittery
Hoodia itself has no stimulant effect. It will NOT make your heart race or keep you awake at night. However, many brands combine hoodia with other ingredients that will make you nervous. My best advice ... stick with pure hoodia (you don't need the other fillers. Those fillers are usually used to lower the dosage of hoodia and bring down the price of the supplement.)

Diabetes
I understand how not being hungry will change your eating habits and could effect blood sugar. This is something you should take up with your doctor. However, I have exchanged emails with lots of diabetic people that are taking Rush without problems as long as they monitor regularly.

High Blood Pressure and other Heart Issues
I'm no doctor, but I haven't heard of any interactions with heart medications and/or blood pressures. And how could losing weight be bad for your hear?

Children and Hoodia
I don't know about children taking hoodia. I have emailed with a few people who were working with 13-17 year olds with hoodia. You'll have to ask your doctor how they feel. My gut tells me it wouldn't be a problem as long as you make sure the adolescent is getting high nutrition from food and/or supplements.

All that being said, pure hoodia in the form Rush provides does have one well known side effect ... it has been associated with increased libido/sex drive. Of course not many people would be bothered by that, right?

The Truth About Hoodia Marketing

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past two years, you probably know a little something about Hoodia. The question is, do you know the FACTS about Hoodia? With so much conflicting information, I can understand why people would be confused about it, so let me share with you the concrete information I have learned from extremely reputable sources, including CBS, BBC, and real-world Hoodia wholesalers and suppliers.

Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus-like plant known as a bushflower grown in South Africa’s Kalahari Desert. In order for any Hoodia product to be effective, it must contain a certain amount of the heart of the plant. Why? "The meat" of the Hoodia is the only part that contains the active molecule P57.

Here is a direct quote from the BBC, where Dr. Richard Dixey, a representative for British pharmaceutical giant Phytopharm, explained how P57 works:

"There is a part of your brain, the hypothalamus. Within that mid-brain there are nerve cells that sense glucose sugar. When you eat, blood sugar goes up because of the food, these cells start firing and now you are full.

What the Hoodia seems to contain is a molecule [P57] that is about 10,000 times as active as glucose. It goes to the mid-brain and actually makes those nerve cells fire as if you were full. Even though you have not eaten. Nor do you want to."

Unfortunately, hundreds of supplements and pills claiming to help you lose weight through Hoodia don’t contain the actual "meat" of the plant, instead they use the whole plant, including the spines, seeds, etc. Another possibility is that a product contains the "meat" at a very low dosage, not nearly enough to be effective.

How do I know this? Because several Hoodia suppliers have explained to me that there is an extremely limited number of growers in South Africa that are being allowed to export it right now, so American manufacturers are not able to get in the large supply that they once could. Of course, no one wants to lose sales because of this, so many companies are resorting to deception and trickery to make consumers think that their product is real, pure, and effective.

What Can I Do to Make Sure I’m Getting Real Hoodia?

How can you protect yourself against these deceptive marketing practices? Well, you can ask yourself a few questions before you buy any Hoodia product:

1) Does this product contain 100% authentic South African Hoodia Gordonii, with a C.I.T.E.S. certificate?
(be aware these are pretty easy to fake these days with fancy software, so look for other licensures as well ... like USDA import license and South African Phyto Certifications, etc.)

2) Does this product have at least 400mg of certified Hoodia?
(this can be harder to figure out than you think, it's all in the marketing lies.)

3) Does it contain other unnecessary ingredients with side effects (stimulants like caffiene, green tea, etc.)?

4) Does the price make sense?
(raw hoodia is expensive, it's mathematically impossible at the present wholesale prices for a company to produce a high enough dosage of real hoodia for less than $35 bucks or so. So if you get suckered into buying that $15 or $20 bottle (like I did over and over), don't be surprised when you're still hungry. For that price it likely has a very low dosage of actual hoodia.)

I Finally Found a Product That Actually WORKED

So now you can see why I went through so many brands of diet pills claiming to use the power of Hoodia to help me lose weight. I tried 12 different brands, and none of them did what I had always heard Hoodia was supposed to do. Then, there was RUSH.

I told myself it was the absolute last thing I was going to try, because I had already thrown enough money down the drain on pills that simply did not suppress my appetite.

And guess what? It worked! And it worked so well I decided to build this web site ... if I help even one person it was worth it!

I had all the benefits you would associate with Hoodia—I wasn’t hungry all day, I didn’t have any cravings, and I lost weight without making any real effort. I was and still am so in love with this product that I decided to share it with everyone else who wants so desperately to lose weight to look and feel better.

I love this product, and I know that you will too. Unfortunately, it's not available in stores, and their web site needs a lot of improvement, [they've put everything into their product] Click here to buy Rush for yourself! (I usually get the 3-pack special, it saves a little money and really you'll be into your second box before you really stop eating)

Oh, and one other thing. If you hate swallowing tablets. My wife is right there with you (she can hardly swallow an aspirin), and she tried a lot of liquid Hoodia supplements without much success. Then a few months ago they came out with desert juice. Click here to try this liquid if you are like my wife and the liquid is more appealing to you.

Warning: You May Not be Able to Get Hoodia Soon

I would advise you, if you are truly interested in using the power of Hoodia to help you lose weight and enjoy a better body, that you act soon. With the demand for pure Hoodia quickly outpacing the supply of it, we could have a Hoodia shortage on our hands soon. One of the suppliers I talk to regularly told me that Hoodia could become something only the rich and famous are able to afford.

So if you are not one of the wealthiest people around, I would suggest that you take advantage of reasonable prices while you still can. Rush is not my product—I just wanted to share my experience with people, so I have no control over how much they charge for it. When the market goes into that shortage I’m hearing about, prices for the real stuff will skyrocket, and I'm afraid honest hoodia products will be lost to average people.
