You have most likely heard the buzz about “Hoodia cactus plant extract”. It has now been broadcasted by a number of major media outlets. For instance, the BBC, “The Today Show, CBS and many more have reported on this extraordinary plant extract.

This media attention has made the line of Hoodia Gordonii items rise to the top of today’s dietary supplement market.

There are some things to keep in mind before choosing a Hoodia product. There are various types of Hoodia plants, but only Hoodia Gordonii has the astounding ‘appetite suppressing’ quality.

The ‘Sans Bushmen’ have been reaping the benefits of Hoodia for hundreds of years. During the 1990s, the C.S.I.R., the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, led a study centered on which plants the ‘Sans Bushmen’ ate regularly.

The purpose of this study was to see that foods they were taking that protected the toxic compounds. They found that Hoodia Gordonii was not only non-toxic, but also helped suppress the appetitive of the animals tested.

Memories have a unique way of helping people. They can make you smile or laugh, you can look back on a memory and learn something new about yourself or someone else, sometimes they can make you cry. Though memories are not always happy, you can always learn something new. Often we wish we could relive certain memories everyday and enjoy them or sometimes we wish we could go back and change things. Changing a memory might seem impossible, but with today’s advancing science and other clinical practices, changing a memory does not seem so far fetched.

Think back for a moment, find a memory you would like to relive. Think about how you feel, how the memory makes you feel. Perhaps you want to change something in the memory, think about how this could change your life. Now imagine for a moment that this memory is a traumatic memory. You would be reliving this memory over and over again everyday. The memory will torment you and cause stress and anxiety in all aspects of your life. This is what people with post traumatic stress syndrome deal with everyday. Everyday they relive a painful memory such as a rape, abuse, war memories, or something as simple as a car accident. The memory consumes them and everyone around them. Often they are not able to hold jobs, have families or healthy relationships, and in some extreme cases the person is not able to function at all.

The health benefits of saunas have been used by mankind for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Saunas are used to purify and detox the body, to increase skin tone and improve the look of the skin, to relax muscles, and to treat respiratory conditions. Traditional saunas using wood, electric, or gas work great, but they use a huge amount of energy consumption.

These saunas are expensive to operate and maintain, and they do not work well for home use. Fortunately another sauna option is available. The Dr. Wilson infrared sauna was created to save on energy and operate in homes.

The Dr. Wilson infrared sauna works by using infrared rays as a heat source. These rays are absorbed by the body and heat the body from the inside and the outside. Increased sweating and detoxification will occur, at lower room temperatures than traditional saunas, and less energy is consumed.

The infrared saunas do not need any kind of preheating before sitting in, and they are secure and safe to use. Besides the low energy benefit, the Dr. Wilson infrared sauna uses yellow, red, and orange infrared lights which have been documented to help with many psychological disturbances such as winter depression.
