Hoodia
Gordonii a natural weight controller
The Hoodia cactus, native to South Africa, has
recently started the hot new trend in dieting. The cactus, which
is stumpy, upright, and pale green, is native to the Kalahari
Desert. It has been used for centuries by the hunter-gatherer
San-speaking tribes of South Africa. Tribesmen snap off a small
section of the plant and chew it over a couple of days while
out hunting. The plant suppresses their appetite and allows them
to go for days without food and water. The Hoodia is now made
into a diet pill which kills the appetite, ups your mood, and
gives you energy. |

healing, and you should not be afraid of it. But if you are
healthy and considering elective cosmetic surgery, here are
some facts most doctors won’t tell you, and some other
things to consider.

Tattoos:
Worth the risk
Some people call it art, body art. Many people
have it: simple or intricate tattoos, piercings, or even both.
Stand out on Fort Street Mall and observe how many people have
tattoos, girls and guys alike.
