Hoodia vs., the BBC, their take on the miracle supplement 6 years on
MoreNiche Affiliate Program
Of all the media reports that have been done in the last 6 years about Hoodia Gordonii, the most credible and accurate one we have ever seen has to be the one done by BBC reporter Tom Mangold in 2003.

On top of their own experimentation with Hoodia Gordonii, the BBC also provided consumers with one concise article that put the facts to them straight. None of the vagueness you can find with some articles, but a concise article with everything you could need to gain an accurate perception of Hoodia Gordonii.

In their report they offered the facts of:
  • How Hoodia Gordonii works – 10,000 times more powerful than glucose, Hoodia makes the nerve cells in the brain believe you are full when you are not.
  • Its many Clinical trials (that had been performed at that time)

But the most important point they touched on was fake Hoodia products.

Even in 2003, they were aware of the possibility of fake Hoodia Products.

Yet, who could have guessed that their prediction would prove so right! According to Alkemist pharmaceuticals 80% of Hoodia Products are fake, containing only 60% pure Hoodia Gordonii, if any at all.

But if we are honest they could have not known how many there would be. After all, in 2003 Hoodia Gordonii was still being clinically tested, which made it hard for companies to launch Hoodia products without their credibility being questioned.

So what are we to take away from the BBC report? The need to increase consumer awareness of Hoodia Gordonii. Not just about its appetite suppressant qualities, but as a product as a whole: where it is from? What are its ingredients? How can price reflect its validity?

Know this and you can increase your chances of receiving pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii, and offer your body an easy route to weight loss.

Here is a quick low down on what to look for within your Hoodia Gordonii supplements.

Medical Backing: Has it been tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals?

CITES Certificate: Only South Africa grow and export genuine Hoodia Gordonii.

Price: Hoodia Gordonii is rare, making it expensive to export. For this reason check the products price. If it is cheap, it is not real.

The Diverticulitis Diet Defined

The Diverticulitis Diet Defined


Diverticulitis develops from a condition called diverticulosis. If you're older than 40, it's common for you to have diverticulosis - small, bulging pouches (diverticula) in your digestive tract. In the United States, more than 50 percent of people older than 60 have diverticula. Although diverticula can form anywhere, including in your esophagus, stomach and small intestine, most occur in your large intestine. Because these pouches seldom cause any problems, you may never know you have them.

A low-fiber diet is considered to be the main cause of diverticular problems. First diagnosed in the United States in the early 1900s, and now common throughout developed countries, the emergence of diverticular disease coincided with the introduction of low-fiber processed foods (eg. branless refined flour). Even now, the disease is rare in Asia and Africa, where people eat high-fiber vegetable diets.

In the past, many doctors recommended that people with diverticulosis avoid seeds and nuts, including foods with small seeds, such as tomatoes and strawberries. It was thought that these tiny particles could lodge in the diverticula and cause inflammation (diverticulitis). But there is no scientific evidence that seeds and nuts cause diverticulitis. In fact, eating a high-fiber diet - which may include nuts and seeds - reduces the risk of diverticulitis. It is now believed that only foods that may irritate or get caught in the diverticula cause problems.

A low-residue Diverticulitis Diet is recommended during the flare-up periods of diverticulitis to decrease bowel volume so that the infection can heal. An intake of less than 10 grams of fiber per day is generally considered a low residue Diverticulitis Diet. If you have been on a low-residue diet for an extended period of time, your doctor may recommend a daily multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.

Once your symptoms improve, start to add about 5 to 15 grams of fiber a day to allow your digestive system to adjust to the higher fiber intake.

Although there is much conflicting information, even in the medical world, about what constitutes a good Diverticulitis Diet, the basic principle of healthy eating remains the same. Most people have no symptoms and only find out that they have Diverticulosis when they've had a colonoscopy done. If you fall into this category, the guidelines suggest that you start on a high fiber and high fluids diet as soon as possible. You should also avoid constipation at all costs.

In general, treatment depends on the severity of your signs and symptoms and whether this is your first attack of diverticulitis. If your symptoms are mild, a liquid or low-fiber diet and antibiotics may be all you need. But if you're at risk of complications or have recurrent attacks of diverticulitis, you may need more advanced care. A high-fiber diet is very important in preventing future diverticulitis attacks. As you increase your fiber intake, increase your fluid intake as well.

Many people don't realize the harm that a low fiber diet can do to you, and the Diverticulitis Diet is really a necessity to everyone, not just those with the disease. We must remember to keep high-fiber healthy diets to allow ourselves the nutrition we need to support our bodies and allow for proper nutrition. Even if you do have diverticulitis, the Diverticulitis Diet will help you get your bodies nutrients on track and allow you to be healthy again.
