I saw 60 minutes some months ago an they showed somethign about a
plant that some african eat that make you not hungry. Its called
Holayo or something like it thou i am not sure about the spelling.
There was a company that turned that plant into a tablet and are
selling it. I would like to know the name of the tablet and where i
can order some from. Thanks.

Note i was listing to Air America while Jerry Springer was on and
there was an advert for that product but i did not get the name i
remmber something like H57 Holayo or somethign along these lines.

Hello xlr8s1v1ce:

Thanks for the interesting question. The plant that you saw on 60
minutes is called "Hoodia gordonii", or often just "hoodia".

Quote: "Now along comes hoodia. Never heard of it? Soon it'll be
tripping off your tongue, because hoodia is a natural substance that
literally takes your appetite away."

The following University of Texas website lists some information about
this plant and its uses:

Herb Fact Sheet - Hoodia

Quote: "As an appetite and thirst suppressant. Native South Africans,
notably the Khoi-San herders, have used this plant for centuries in
order to endure extended periods of time without food or water. This
quality may render this plant useful as a treatment for obesity, but
more controlled research in humans is needed....There are currently no
known side effects with the proper use of this plant as a weight
control supplement; however, there are only limited data pertaining to
humans, so much more clinical research is needed in order to conclude
if it is safe for long term use."

As for the commercial you say you heard on Springer - it was likely
for a product called "JEC Nutrition H57 Hoodia". This product can be
purchased at:

A1Nutrition Products
URL: http://www.a1nutritionproducts.com/buy/jec_nutrition/h57_hoodia
Cost: 60 capsules @ $39.99

There are many other brands of hoodia supplements, but this is the
only one with "H57" in the name that I can find.

Search Strategy (on Google):
* african plant suppress hunger
* "Hoodia Gordonii" stahl
* "Hoodia Gordonii"
* "Hoodia Gordonii" site:.edu
* H57 hoodia

I hope this helps!

		seen 100's of websites promoting Hoodia diet pills and supplements. I 
		don't want to claim that all the sites are selling junks. However there 
		are definitely many scammers selling junk in the name Hoodia!<br>
		<br>
		So please read this article to learn &quot;how to purchase hoodia diet pills

		<span lang="EN" style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">However here 
		are some tips to protect you from Hoodia scammers.<br>
		<br>
		<b>Just follow following directions before you swipe out your card:</b><br>
		<br>
		1) Consult your doctor before taking
		<a href="http://www.hoodia-diets.info" style="text-decoration: none">
		<font color="#000000">Hoodia diet supplements</font></a> (Or any other 
		supplements). This is particularly important for those who've been 
		diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes.<br>
		<br>
		2) Don?t be fooled with cheap gimmick! Hoodia is very expensive to 
		plant. So it?s virtually impossible to sell for peanut price. Be very 
		cautious if you are purchasing from ?Online Auction? sites.<br>
		<br>
		3) Check
		<a href="http://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm">
		<font color="#0000ff">Hoodia certification Certificate</font></a>: Only 
		few companies have the right to sell hoodia products. Although 
		certificate can be faked, it?s important to check it out.<br>
		<br>
		4) Contact Company: If you are planning to purchase hoodia from a well 
		established website contact their customer care with some questions 
		about hoodia. Your seller should be able answer your hoodia question if 
		they are selling genuine products.<br>
		<br>
		5) Money back guarantee: Genuine Hoodia Company?s should offer at least 
		30 days of money back guarantee.<br>
		<br>
		6) The Exercise factor: Genuine Company?s must say that, basic exercise 
		is important while taking hoodia. Don?t be fooled with ads like ?Take 
		hoodia; eat whatever you want and lose 50 pounds within 30 days!?<br>
		<br>
		7) Ask your contacts: For your satisfaction, enquire with your friends, 
		colleagues and contacts (if they are overweight taken hoodia.) </span>
