FDA Targets Ephedra Promotion
By PAUL RECER AP Science Writer
<http://news.findlaw.com/ap/o/1500/10-8-2002/20021008114503_23.html>
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sean Riggins was a 16-year-old athlete in
exceptionally
good condition, but on Sept. 2 he was so sick that he couldn't play in a
big game with his Lincoln, Ill., high school football team.
Instead, he sat on the bench, suffering from headache and stomach pain,
and later went home to sleep. A doctor, the next day, said he had
bronchitis and sent him home. But within a few hours, Sean went into
convulsions and stopped breathing. He died at a hospital of what doctors
said was a heart attack.
"When my son passed away of a heart attack, I had no idea what to
think,"
Kevin Riggins testified Tuesday at a Senate subcommittee hearing. "He
didn't smoke or do marijuana or take drugs."
But an autopsy showed that he did take Yellow Jackets, an herbal drug
laced with the herb ephedra, along with a kola nut extract which
contains
caffeine. The combination can cause blood vessel constriction, a rapid
heart beat, a sudden rise in blood pressure.

Math and science teachers--join us as we dive into ENC's latest
professional development resource, By Your Own Design: A Teacher's
Professional Learning Guide. This free web site www.enc.org/pdguide/ has
readings and activities to help you create and implement a professional
learning plan. Join Tracy Crow and Gail Hoskins on October 30 for an
Eisenhower National Clearinghouse tour. Questions about this
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can participate as a guest at Tapped In,
www.tappedin.org/info/guests.html. If you have never participated in
such an online ( and very professional ) chat before, I'd suggest you
spend twenty minutes or so there at some point prior to the event.
Their Help Staff is truly helpful. You may want to let them know that
you are trying it out in preparation for Tracy-and-Gail's ENC
presentation, and they can coach you specifically for "talking" during
an event. (At least a couple of times a week, Tapped In schedules
training/practice sessions called "TAPPED IN Tours and Tip" for those
who'd like; see their calendar for exact days/times.)
Don't feel that you'll need to take notes or capture web addresses; just
enjoy the experience. Tracy and Gail will send a transcript of the
entire event to all who participate and provide their email addresses to
us. We do hope that you'll pass this invitation on to colleagues who
might be very interested in this kind of introduction to By Your Own
Design.
