they have -or are trying- to ban "andestinione" or some spelling
of a precurser to testosterone. the only problem is the bill's wording
would allow banning of many precursers to hormones under certain inter
pretations. this includes dhea for instance.
these guys fight the fda and are a fountain of non-ama information.
http://www.lef.org. non-profit.
but, just one teeny teeny example of how our interests here are like
children complaining of having their sand shovels taken away:
our voting system: the first pillar our attempt at democracy, is
under attack using this same technique. many states are instituting electronic
voting, but the voting machines and software are controlled by
PRIVATE COMPANIES. got it?
so, diebold is a big company making some of these machines. internal
emails in diebold indicated they were hiding -and aware of- major
flaws in their system.
these emails were leaked and posted on the internet. diebold intimidated
isp's into shutting down these web sites. how? by threatening the isp's
with the "digital millenium copyright act". this act was supposedly
only to limit piracy of digital software and movies, etc..

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!

 Terry-the idiots here in the US decided that ephedra is dangerous and has
 killed 65(?) people the last couple years-- Which I think is a damned lie.
 Just saw Tom Brokejaw announce that it was outlawed now. He forgot to
 mention that ephedrine is the main ingredient in Claritin(now otc). The
big
 pharmas are pure evil. I am  ready for some serious civil disobedience
 against this industry. Everyone should read "Unintended Consequences" by
