Quote by Dr. Tim Gorski :
From his article "All Natural "
Products can Kill :
Proponnents of these ephedrine -
containing preparations markete as
"nutritional supplement,"legal
stimulants ,"and the like say that
the Chinese have used Ephedra
Sinica for centuries. Yet even
today, in the Orient, the herb is
NOT available over-the-counter but
ONLY from practitioners who
prescribe it as a part of their
traditional medicine. Nor are
preparations containing ephedrine
alkaloids used in those countries
for weight loss ,as stimulants, to
"get high" or for more than VERY
SHORT periods of time.
EPHEDRINE , A RELATIVELY
CHEAP , LEGAL DRUG CAN
BE DEADLY WHEN USED ...
Ephedrine ,which is commonly
nicknamed "white crosses,"
or has had the trade name
"Mini Thins" ,is widely used
among truck drivers to stay
awake and people with weight
problems to help suppress their
appetites.
Ephedrine is an Amphetamine-
like chemical that acts as a
stimulant . The drug is a central-nervous system stimulant like Cocaine, only slightly weaker. It is stronger than stimulants
such as nicotine or caffeine,
which we all are aware are highly addictive.
PROBLEMS-HEALTH...
If you have had problems with your
health due to Ephedrine let the TEXAS
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH know about it:

Ephedrine and Psychosis
How might ephedra cause psychosis?
Amanda Gruber,M.D. Assoc. Chief
Substance Abuse Researcher at the
Biological Psychiatry Lab.@ Mclean
Hosp. in Belmont,Mass.,explaing:
"EPHEDRINE ,especially in combination with caffine ,triggers the release of neuro-transmitters in the brain."These in turn may bring on a manic episode ,characterized by
sleeplessness,pacing and jumpiness,
which can easily snowball into a full blown psychiatric breakdown.

DOCTORS SAY EPHEDRINE SHOULD BE REGULATED
LIKE DRUG


After my first posting of this site on the net ,I got a
response from someone whom was very obviously
against taking EPHEDRINE off the market. This  person in a rude ,vulgar ,highly aggressive,and angery
manner told me I was nothing but a drug addict who
was trying to ruin it for everyone.The  ironic thing was is that this same individual who used such foul language and got extremely angery was up at 3:00 in
the morning (had not been to bed) ,whom by the way was a regular at taking ephedrine,was a living proof
of ephedrine addiction.The individual was showing all the signs of addiction. However they were right about
the drug addict part. I WAS a drug addict. Thanks to EPHEDRINE ,trying to lose a few pounds .BECAME AN
ADDICTION. One that the companies need to put a warning on their products about!!!!
The article you are about to read is NOT to get sympathy.
It is to INFORM you on a product with some serious ,if
not fatal ,side effects.
First of all you need to know I have NEVER used any other drug ,so I did NOT have a history of drug abuse or dependance .Nor did /do I drink or smoke. I state this so you  will know that Ephedrine is the issue ,not any other drugs or drinking.
When I was 23yrs old I decided to try and drop a few pounds.
The drug was advertising great results. At that age I
believed that if it was allowed on the market it couldn't hurt you. Its natural it can't hurt you.
Of course they falled to inform you and still the warning is
not on the package,That it is Addictive.Your body grows
very tolerant of it quickly.
They also do not let you know that it is a mind-altering drug (see other articles on this page for confirmation on that)with the following side effects:
Become paranoid ,violent ,depressed,suicidal,become confused very easy ,not able to think clearly,high blood pressure,severe nose bleeds daily,my teeth crumpled and broke off(teeth were perfect before the addiction),blurred vision,dry mouth,psychosis,hypertension,palpitations, tremors,anxiety,insomnia,severe personalitychanges,coughed (flem -blood) constantly,dizziness,chest-pains,always sweating,kidney infections,Kidney stones (made up of almost
100%pure ephedrine),bile infections,nausa,vomiting,nervousness,muscle aches and cramps,facial twiching,etc.........Was hospitalized many times
due to the damage that EPHEDRINE was doing to my kidneys. However the drug is so controlling even while in the hospital
I would have to have it . I thought I couldn't function without it.
With all this I was so controlled by the drug that I would do
anything to get it .I would use all the money I had to get it .
And even write bad checks to get more.I lost alot in my life due to ephedrine this is just a small part of my story.
The point in telling you all this is to HELP you avoid the same
thing happening in your life. If you or someone you know is
taking or thinking of taking this drug please read these other
stories and Don't take another dose of this Terrible drug.
I am now 37 yrs old and have been off EPHEDRINE 6 months.
It took 3 long hours in surgery to get my kidneys to stop bleeding(they were bleeding due to EPHEDRINE use),to get my attention to lay down EPHEDRINE and not continue to use.
I write this to help others not have to go thur that. My best to
all of you. May you have wonderful ,long ,and happy,Drug-free
lives.If you have questions or need help. E-mail me at :

INFLUX OF NEW DRUG BRINGS CRIME AND VIOLENCE TO MIDWEST
Methamphetamine causes psychotic and violent reactions. The drug throws out of control the production of the brain chemical dopamine,which plays an important part in movement ,thought. and emotion,as is the case with schizophrenia . Over time the drug damages the brain."A person addicted to this stuff looks and acts exactly like a paranoid schizphrenic.This is the most malignant,
addictive drug known to mankind."said Dr. Michael Abrams of Broadlawn Med. Center in Des Moines.Meth's  active ingredient is ephedrine. The drug contains 90% of the active ingredient . The makers of Meth can go shopping to make Meth at any of your neighbor convience stores.

EPHEDRA (MA HUANG) WARNING.....
http://www.intohealth.com/ephedra.html
EPHEDRA is ADDICTIVE !!! Ephedra is sold
as a n herb, but it's really an adrenaline-like drug. Ephedra will encourage weight loss by partially suppressing appetite and revving up metabolism ...but as soon as you stop taking
it, your appetite comes back stronger than before and your metabolism slows to its previous rate. Users often gain back more weight than they lost. Ephedra is counterproductive to weight loss,which should be done gradually.

       I am a 17 yr old female in michigan. I order ephedrine over the internet. I take about 21-24 pills per dose .My doses keep increasing .I need it to function.The fact that this drug is so obtainable is ridculous. And restricting the sale to minors obviously doesn't help much . I can easily get it. The  addiction is very easy to get into with this drug. I know for fact that I am not the only one taking the drug like this. But once  you start it you can't stop........

       At age 21 ,I was close to 300 pds.I started taking ephedrine ,in less than one year I dropped to 160. It worked and I felt terrible . I built up a tolerance to it . My warning to all is the long term use of ephedrine . You will suffer from emotional or psychological disruptions. Ephedrine comes with side effects such as depression, emotional outbursts, schizophrenia and more. I learned the hard way . I lost  alot of friends due to uncontrollable emotional outbursts , rage and tears. It was really scary.
