Desert Burn Hoodia: Doctor Says It Works For Weight Loss

I had the pleasure of exchanging emails and talking briefly with Dr. Joseph Varallo, a board certified OB/GYN who runs a private practice in New Jersey. Dr. Varallo found my website doing a Google search and read my review of Desert Burn hoodia diet pills.

He was willing to share the success he’s had with his patients who are using Desert Burn hoodia and gave me permission to share this information with my readers. Dr. Varallo has over 30 years of clinical experience, most of it in gynecology, and was first introduced to Desert Burn hoodia in 2005. His wife was the first to try Desert Burn.

She lost 40 pounds in 6 months!

Dr. Varallo was so impressed with the results from Desert Burn hoodia that he immediately started an informal evaluation and clinical trial. His evaluation of Desert Burn hoodia consists of over 700 men and women that we have carefully monitored over time. The majority of those involved are women with a few men, and they range in age from 18 to 70.

Dr. Varallo has seen no adverse hoodia side effects to date.

He says it can be taken with most medications. However, he cautions that insulin dependent diabetics should be very careful and should consult their doctor before using Desert Burn hoodia or any hoodia supplement for that matter.

Dr. Varallo says that with the help of Desert Burn hoodia - combined with diet and exercise - you will have an indirect effect on:

  • Lowering your blood pressure
  • Decreasing your blood sugar and the potential for developing diabetes
  • Lowering bad cholesterol and help prevent heart disease
  • In gynecology, it has helped with certain menstrual irregularities and libido

Dr. Varallo says that Desert Burn hoodia, while effective, isn’t a magic bullet. It is a natural product that will help you fight the dreaded killer - obesity! He stresses behavior modifications and exercise along with Desert Burn hoodia.

Here are the specific clinical impressions Dr. Varallo and his staff have noted from carefully monitoring over 700 women and men taking Desert Burn hoodia along with behavioral modifications and exercise:

  • Satisfaction Rate: 85% Drop out rate 15% (monetary constraints or failure to respond)
  • Average Weight Loss: 2 lbs./week. Maximum Weight Loss To Date: 50 lbs
    Weight loss is even and gradual. The first thing noticed is a decrease in dress or pant size. Waist size: Men<40 inches; Women <35 inches.
  • 20% decrease in LDL and total cholesterol without the use of statins. Some decrease in HDL. Fish oil (omega 3 fatty acids) - no trans fats in the diet - exercise and Desert Burn hoodi is our natural approach to hyperlipidemia (excessive amount of fats and fatty substances in the blood).
  • Adult onset diabetics on oral hypoglycemic agents have noticed an improvement in their blood glucose and less need for medication. Their weight loss response appears to be more dramatic. It appears to be a Metformin (a popular anti-diabetic drug) and Desert Burn hoodia synergistic response.
  • The other leg of the dreadful Metabolic Syndrome - Hypertension - has shown a gradual response to the weight loss program, as expected.
  • 60% of patients demonstrate an increase in energy and feeling of well being. Studies at Brown University Medical School, demonstrated that the compound (P57), extracted from the pure hoodia gordonii, increase the content of ATP by 50-150% in the hypothalamic neurons of the mid brain. This may send a signal for energy sensing, which in turn causes an anorexic response in individuals.
  • 20% Increase in libido - add natural progesterone creme and my female patients noticed a 30% improvement. All related to that neuro-modulator, the hypothalamus. Very interesting clinical findings that need further study.
  • Improvement in menstrual irregularities, especially in PCOS (polycystic ovaries syndrome). Very useful in the “estrogen dominant” individual with excessive body fat. Genestein (soy isoflavone), natural progesterone creme, and Desert Burn hoodia appears to be a great combination. This weight loss theory has been substantiated in other clinical studies.
  • Liquid Desert Burn hoodia (product name Desert Juice) has recently shown some promise. There is a high rate of absorption and rapid onset of action. It appears that the 500mg liquid is having the same effect as the 750mg ZA. The dosage is adjusted according to the response.

Dr. Varallo says these results are all about behavior modification and getting your body moving. A weight loss program that includes Desert Burn can be very effective. He says that Desert Burn hoodia makes one pause before eating to ask the question, “Do I really need to eat that much?” Furthermore, he says with any other medication or supplements, there is also a certain placebo effect, which is a good thing.

As for dosages, it has been Dr. Varallo’s experience that the best time to take hoodia is mid morning and mid afternoon. Take 2-3 capsules of Desert Burn ZA 750 at both times. That represents 3,000mg - 4,500mg per day. It is not necessary to sustain a consistent blood level. Take it at the time when you need it the most, but he says remember to allow a one hour lead-time.

Most of his patients tell him, “I’m just not hungry.”

The results that Dr. Varallo has seen so far with Desert Burn hoodia is very impressive - and gives hope to anyone who is overweight. I thank Dr. Varallo for sharing. You can read my full review of Desert Burn hoodia diet pills or feel free to visit the Desert Burn website for product information.
