Hi,\nI tried this xenadrine and wasn't happy with it.  Hoodia works much better!  I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a  month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)I tried

Worked Great!\n\nPersonally I think 100% Hoodia in tablets is best! \n\nCheck with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nI tried many diet pills/shakes/bars with no or little results. \n\nThan I tried Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!\n\n#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!\n\n#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.\n\n#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!\n\nHoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa. \nHoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. \n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com

The sweating is beacuse it has upped your metabolism. SO yes it does. They sell green tea extract for diet purposes, when ephedra was pulled form the market green tea extract was added to diet pills. You have to be careful cuz you set yourself up for heart attack etc.  Plus you definitely need more sleep. I suggest you alternate caffeine-free diet coke so u get some sleep!

Yes, I took it for years and I recommend you stay away from it.  It works but it's addictive and deadly.  It's banned for a reason and the risks largely outweigh the benefits.  Ephedra acts to vasoconstrict your blood vessels and can be hazardous to anybody's health. It has caused heart attacks and high blood pressure and has lead to bleeding in the brain in young fit people and even athletes. \n\nHere's a worthy link for your review:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/ephedra_debate.shtml

There is NO safe or effective diet pill.  Take a look at phen/fen and ephedra, they worked at losing wieght and giving you a heart attack.  The best and only safely proven way is eating in moderation and exercise.  I wish there was a magic pill, but it does not exist yet.  And dont believe any ad or commercial saying otherwise

On their own, not likely.  As an ingredient in other pills such as Xenadrine, somewhat.  But even then, weight loss pills are most effective because they give you a little more energy and most importantly, encourage you to exercise, not because they burn more fat.

Ephedra is DANGEROUS. Do not take it. There are no quick fixes. Diet and exercise is the only way. See your doctor first.

There's a lot of misconception about ephedra.  It's gotten a bad rap because some people used it (possibly excessively) while starving themselves, not drinking enough fluids, and training in 100 degree heat and (no surprise) unfortunately died in the process.  I won't say ephedra didn't negatively affect the situation, but I will say that taken properly it can provide safe and beneficial results.  \nThe rules are pretty simple.  Take a low dosage - Try half the recommended to start with.  If you feel OK, slowly ramp up your intake.  Don't exceed the recommended dosage; personlly I would never even take that much.  As ephedra is a stimulant, back off the other stimulants in your diet (caffiene), or balance them by taking a reduced amount of ephedra.  The most effective fat burner products (original hydroxycuts, xenedrine RFA for example) combined ephedrine with caffiene and oddly enough - aspirine.  The so-called "ECA stack" was one of the most potent combinations for increasing metabolism.  I've tried about 4 different products like this and they each were impressive, but trust me, straight ephedrine is more than enough.  \nI wouldn't recommend ephedra alone for weight loss.  In fact, it should not be the first idea coming to mind.  Exercise and healthy diet really are the key foundation - any extra help in the way of metabolism boosting should be secondary.  \nI think ephedra can be safe.  It's not for everyone and if you want to use it then proceed slowly and see how your body reacts.  I would say over 95% of people I know don't have a problem with it, but some can't handle the jitters it gives them.

I don't live in Oklahoma, but I'll let you know one thing - STAY AWAY FROM EPHEDRA!  The stuff is dangerous, look up info about it through search engines.  Yes, I have tried it and I almost didn't get away with my life.

Yes, homeopathy works.  Where do you think they come up with prescription drugs?????????  They take the homeopathic remedy, make up weird concoctions that do the same thing as the natural remedy, slap a brand name on it, and charge an arm and a leg!  They remove any benefits of the natural remedy, which is bad.  Homeopathy is actually SAFER than prescription drugs.  Both are regulated by the FDA, btw.\n\nhttp://www.caycecures.com/

If you're talking about herbal pills for arousal and stamina, I've heard they work for some and not for others. Stamina RX for example sells really well. Don't buy an entire bottle till you figure out if it works for you. Don't know how healthy it is, though.

Here is some information on some popular diet pill products:\n\nEphedra/ephedrine containing diet pills: may be effective in losing weight, but this is still controversial.  There is no conclusive evidence that they work.  HOWEVER, they have been shown to be very dangerous.  The FDA has reported over 40 cases of people dying due to strokes and heart atacks while on ephedra.  Ephedra serves to make drugs in the system more potent and many pills mix them with caffeine, which amplifies the effects of these drugs.  Ephedra will also increase problems will arrhythmias (heart beating at weird paces, which is dangerous).  Not Recommended and banned in many countries (Canada has banned its mixture in supplements with caffeine and over certain dosages).\n\nBitter orange peel extract (synephrine) - just an analog of ephedrine with the same dangers and side-effects.  Just because it is natural and from a plant source doesn't mean it's safe (see cocaine, opium and marijuana).\n\nThe greatest weight loss pill in the world claims to have lipase (actually lipoprotein lipase or LPL).  However, one problem with delivering enzymes throught he digestive system is the fact that they are digested.  The low pH in the stomach denatures proteins (which are what make up enzyme) and trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin are all enzymes that break up proteins in the gut.\n\nHoodia seems fishy - after checking 4 websites I am still unable to come up with a list of ingredients and one website claims "no known side effects" while another lists "dry mouth, difficulty in sleeping, restlessness, and nervousness."  The next page I looked at claimed that you will not feel wired or have sleeping problems.  They need to test this better.  There are also no studies listed about how effective this supplement is.  I would be careful.\n\nBottom line: eat healthy, exercise, add physical activity to your life (take the stairs, park far away, walk the dog, etc...) and save your money.

It has proven time and time again that any of these slimming "magic bullets" MAY seem to work but only temporarily or NOT AT ALL.\n\nThere is no slimming pill that really works. The sure way is a good diet and exercise  and TIME.

I have found great success with herbal supplements and they are cheaper than prescription meds. But you should talk to your doctor about free samples, they usually have some on hand, even if it is for only a portion it would help. Good Luck!

at least 2 weeks...full results in about 8-9 weeks. I used to take it but it made me feel as if i was on speed all day long. honestly, you should just diet and exercise regularly. There is no miracle pill out there. Hydroxycut does help but plain old fashioned working out works the best....but GOOD LUCK!!!
