Ephedra, Ehedrine, Ma Huang - I think they are all bad if used incorrectly and abused. I cannot say I am against it, as I have used it using the correct amount, and for a short period of time (I don't wanna be a hypocrite!! )

From the FDA site:

Herbal Ingredient: Ephedra (also known as Ma huang, Chinese Ephedra and epitonin)

Possible Health Hazards: ranges from high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, nerve damage, injury, insomnia, tremors, and headaches to seizures, heart attack, stroke, and death.

It just seems to risky to me, as it is still unregulated by the FDA and starting to become banned in a few states. Of course this is my opinion only, and everyone reacts differently to herbal supplements. Me, it made me "up" and super shaky as I can recall, and I took it for a month or so and quit it as I was starting to have major panic attacks.

Hugs,

Skylark
