The Ephedra Ban... Here We Go Again!

On April 14 2005, Judge Tena Campbell of the U. S. District Court in Salt Lake City struck down the FDA’s (Food and Drug Administration) ban on the sale of the herbal supplement ephedra. According to the judge, the FDA had not met the burden of proof that any specific dosage of the controversial weight-loss drug ephedra was dangerous (read more about the overturning of the ban here!)

Now, a US Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver has overturned her decision, ruling that the FDA was correct in their analysis, and has met the required burdon of proof necessary to ban the supplement.

What's this really mean to you?

Well, it means that you will no longer be able to buy ephedra fat burners online... a real shame for those of you who use this helpful supplement sensibly.

On the other hand, here's something you might find a bit odd... this ban does not pertain to herbal teas which are considered conventional foods and perhaps even more bizarre, FDA approved drugs that contain ephedrine or pseudoephedrine (these include over the counter cough and cold remedies, decongestants, and allergy medications).

In other words, the message appears to be that ephedra is dangerous when sold in products unregulated by the FDA, and benign in those that are regulated and approved? Hello? If ephedra's so darn dangerous, why not remove it from all products?

So how do you get your ephedra back?

That's the question answered by Todd Massey in his superb publication, "The Black Market Report On Ephedrine." He'll show you how to legally maneouver around the ban, and buy your ephedra safely and legally!
