Well .... I can't say whether hoodia is "supposed" to cure psychological cravings -- it's just my gut feeling that the only way to control those is through a lot of hard work!

I suppose there are mind-altering drugs (such as Prozac) that can change your mental processes, but hopefully hoodia doesn't do any of that -- if it did, it would probably be available via prescription only. I've been considering it a very simple appetite suppressant, nothing more --which means a higher saftey margin (IMO).

P.S. -- I'm down to 130.5 pounds -- 1/2 pound from my goal -- this last pound has been slow coming off.....
