Hoodia and Weight Loss Site Launches Hoodia Forum, Backed by MD With Hoodia Background

Hoodia and weight loss educational site, www. HoodiaAndWeightLoss. com, has announced the launch of a new online community / forum, backed by OB/GYN Joseph A Varallo, MD, FACOG. The community will allow members to discuss possible benefits, side effects, and more about using the appetite suppressant Hoodia for weight loss, with information and resources provided by Dr. Varallo, who will serve as one of the community's moderators.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 23, 2007

Hoodia and Weight Loss (http://hoodiaandweightloss. com) announces the launch of a new resource for users of the appetite suppressant Hoodia, with the launch of its new MD-backed Hoodia forum. The forum offers an online environment for users, or potential users, of Hoodia for weight loss to discuss their experiences, concerns, and more with a board certified Ob/Gyn, Joseph A Varallo, MD, FACOG, who has conducted an informal evaluation and clinical trial on the supplement.

The new Hoodia and Weight Loss forum (http://hoodiaandweightloss. com) is the only Hoodia forum moderated by a doctor who deals with weight loss issues in women. "We now have two years of clinical experience with the use of … Hoodia in our weight management program," says Dr. Varallo. "Our database now has over 400 men and women that we have carefully monitored over time. The age range is from 18 to 70."

"What we're really excited about is being able to provide visitors direct access to a real doctor," says Hoodia and Weight Loss founder Travis Van Slooten. "We're providing a platform where visitors have direct access to a real doctor to get real and objective information about Hoodia and weight loss, as opposed to visiting sites simply aimed at selling products. When visitors come to the Hoodia and Weight Loss forum, they'll be able to get help with any hoodia or weight loss related question that Dr. Varallo is qualified to answer. We haven't come across a single resource quite like this on the Web, devoted to Hoodia."

Hoodia and Weight Loss and Dr. Varallo (http://www. josephvarallomd. com/) aim to offer an honest look at Hoodia and its effects on weight loss efforts, acknowledging that the appetite suppressant doesn't work for everyone. While many online resources exaggerate the benefits of Hoodia, this site and community strive to provide detailed and objective information on the herb, allowing individuals to make educated and informed decisions regarding its use.

With contacts in the Hoodia industry, Van Slooten is able to offer in depth and up to date news on Hoodia, that similar sites simply don't have access to. "We currently only recommend three specific brands of Hoodia supplements on the site," he says. "That's because they're verified to be real. Our goal is to help readers avoid being ripped off by fake supplements. With that goal in mind, we'll add more recommendations as we find and verify quality Hoodia products."
