I saw this on a website to day...I've never heard of Hoodia Tincture...
Q.
My 15-year-old daughter is desperate to lose weight. She is about 2st overweight and it is affecting her confidence badly. It seems terribly unfair to me, because her diet is healthy and she avoids junk food.
A. You give no indication whether this is a long-term problem or if the weight piled on once your daughter reached puberty, in which case she may be suffering from a common hormonal condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Ask your doctor to arrange an ultrasound scan: this will confirm or rule out the possibility.
In the meantime, I am going to suggest two safe herbal remedies that promote slow but steady weight loss and will help rebalance your daughter’s hormones if it turns out that she does have PCOS.
Hoodia is a herbal remedy made from Hoodia gordonii, the African cactus plant, which is reported to work as a natural appetite suppressant. It was traditionally used by the tribespeople of the Kalahari desert to stave off hunger pangs during hunting expeditions.
When scientists in the UK patented the single plant molecule they discovered was responsible for this, there was talk of a new wonder slimming pill. I recommend the Bioharmony Hoodia tincture from Revital (0800 252875;
www.revital.com); this costs £19.99 for 100ml. Take 10-15 drops in juice twice daily.
If your daughter does have a hormonal problem, then she will also need to take saw palmetto. This herb helps counter the overproduction of testosterone caused by cysts on the ovaries, which can lead to sudden weight gain. Lambert saw palmetto costs £14.95 for 90 capsules, also from Revital. Take two daily.
