I've seen our lovely government try to take away our dietary supplement rights twice now-one is currently under way and the first got shot down big time-but this is an outright shame. If your ever tried this marvelous herb (you know whether you can take it after the first try), you know how effective it is for energy and weight loss. I've taken it on and off for 10 years and sold it for over 15 years!!! My mom-who also owns a health food store and is 65-took it for years for energy. She was taking ephedra at 62 years old with NO reactions! Last year she discovered it just made her too jittery and so she simply stopped. Gee, what a novel idea!!! To stop something that gives you a bad reaction. Herbs are very powerful so follow the darn directions!!! Unlike the baseball player who died from heat exhaustion, not from supplementing with ephedra, but was taking twice the dose and not drinking enough water and who was also training in really hot temperatures. I believe this whole thing came down due to consumer ignorance and the pharmaceutical co. are in the pockets of the FDA- duh :) Are they going to take all the OTC products with ephedrine away as well? It's all derived or synthesized from ephedra. If you believe this is unfair-write your senators and oppose the bill '722' The Safe Dietary Supplement Act. It's just going to get worse because this is only a form of control and unfortunately this time-they won!
