 | The
Anti-Fat Pill and the Bushmen
For thousands of years, African tribesmen
have eaten the Hoodia to stave off hunger and thirst on long hunting trips. The
Kung bushmen who live around the Kalahari desert in southern Africa used to cut
off a stem of hoodia about the size of a cucumber and munch on it over a couple
of days. Hoodia had the same effect on the hunting dogs. The Anikhwe of northern
Botswana feed children who "eat too much" pieces of Hoodia to make them
eat less. Already decades ago obese members of the Khomani community were
eating the Hoodia to slim down. The six foot plant, called Hoodia, contains an
active ingredient which research has shown could reduce appetite by 40 - 50% (up
to 2,000 calories a day for some). It works by mimicking the effect glucose has
on the nerve cells in the brain, in effect telling us we're full, even when we
are not... thus curbing the appetite. Hoodia has no known side effects, and contains
a molecule that fools your brain into believing you have just eaten. The
remedy was originally patented by the South African Council for Scientific and
Industrial Research (CSIR), and licensed by the British company Phytopharm. The
pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is now developing a pill based on hoodia, also known
as P57, which they hope will banish food cravings and have a major impact on the
six billion Euro global slimming aid market. Other pharmaceutical companies have
recognized the potential from the extract of the hoodia succulent and are currently
trying to synthetically reproduce the active components so that they can be patented
as a weight loss prescription appetite suppression drug. There are several
varieties: Botanical info: Hoodia species: hoodia albisina, hoodia
