Learn To Play Guitar: Blues In Any Key Part 2

*Don't Gamble With Appetite Suppressants*

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.

Does that sound like something you, an intelligent human being would want to play. Of course not. However, there are millions of people playing Russian roulette with their diet pills.

These people buy diet pills (appetite suppressants) without even knowing what's, well, in the chamber. The results of this game of chance can be very explosive.

*Phentermine the Virtual Bullet*

Here is the Wikipedia 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."

This stuff was first sold under the name of 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 just can't understand why this stuff (phentermine) was left on the market by the FDA$. Oops, pardon the faulty punctuation.

*Now How About Hoodia*

This appetite suppressant does not cause any problems with people's heart rate, mental state, blood pressure...or anything else. The San People, who live in Southern Africa, have used it for thousands of years to hold off hunger in times when there was little or no food available without any side effects. It simply and safely fools the body into thinking that it's already had enough food.

Now, when it comes to comparing hoodia and phentermine, there really is no comparison, is there? So what shall you do if you want to use an appetite suppressant? Just be wise in what you choose. And please do not forget that, for maximum weight loss success and better health, you must be sure to exercise and eat right.
