awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of
amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997).
Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany,
and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman
et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have used amphetamines
to stay awake and alert while assigned to especially long periods on
duty (Feldman et al., 1997). Because of the use of amphetamines by Japanese
soldiers, Japan “suffered a serious methamphetamine problem during early
postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991).
Amphetamine use became so common that college students in the 1950s
and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams.
Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was
needed to make the trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St.
Louie,” and for a transcontinental
Ma Huang truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were
used (Feldman et al., 1997).
In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs,
which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously.
Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn
the public
Where To Buy Ephedra of the dangers of amphetamines by coining the term “speed kills.”
Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said:
In the 1970s the Haight-Ashbury area, of San Francisco,
turned into one of the most violent areas of the city. It
was a direct result of the amphetamine epidemic. In
addition, we saw a great deal of amphetamine psychosis,

from high doses of amphetamine producing paranoia,
auditory, and visual hallucinations. We started getting
a feel that the medical and the psychiatric system did
not know how to handle drug epidemics. For example,
I was also running the alcohol and drug abuse-screening
unit at San Francisco General Hospital where with the
diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia you treat with
long-term psychotropic medication. With amphetamine
psychosis you detoxify them and use a short-term
course of psychotropic medication and get them into

The technology of ancient wine making (open fermentation in crocks
or vats) would only produce a six-percent alcohol content. This would be
quickly reduced to acetic acid (vinegar). Ancient wine was produced
exactly the same as modern vinegar. So, a stable vinegar solution was
probably the basis of ancient wine. Vinegar is, however, not intoxicating.
One explanation is that vinegar was used as a vehicle for carrying other
drugs. Dried drug plants such as poppy (opium), datura, henbane, etc.
being extracted with the vinegar. (With the possible exception of opium
and ephedra, none of these other plants would really be pleasant in their
effects.) Vinegar would then preserve these drugs in solution. This would
allow bottling, transport and u n use a kitchen spray bottle if you are careful. In order to create
the necessary humid environment in the terrarium, the nozzle is
slipped under the cover of the cooler and sprayed at the center of the
top side of the drip shield. See the following diagram:

After spraying for 5 seconds, pull the spray nozzle out of the cooler
and let the lid quickly close, sealing in the vapor. The small water
drops will dramatically raise the humidity of the chamber. The rice
cakes can not ever be sprayed directly. The mycelium is very fragile
and doing that will damage it. The terrarium needs to be sprayed at
least 4 times a day. More is better.
This setup and procedure will work and is very inexpensive, but that is
the only good I have to say about it. You become a slave to your
terrarium. If you miss a couple sessions, your fungus will most
definitely suffer because of it. Also, you can only support a few
growing mushrooms at a time using this procedure. The mushrooms
pull a lot of humidity out of the air and this method doesn't provide
much excess.
Method 2: Using a Fish Tank Bubblier.
The basic portion of this system was originally pioneered by Psylocybe
Fanaticus There are several improvements and adaptations in this
section that were not included in the original method. The idea is to
create humidity by bubbling air through water. A small fish tank air
pump and bubbling stone are used to accomplish this.
This method is inexpensive and allows the terrarium to exist without
your constant attention. It's major limitation is that depending on how
it is implemented, it can only raise the humidity by 15% over ambient.
The minimum acceptable amount of humidity needed by the fungus is
85%. If ambient humidity is going to be less than 70% during the
growing cycle, you will experience problems even with a fully
optimized setup. If you have more than a few mushrooms growing, it
is possible this system will fail to keep the humidity high enough. You
still need to hand spray the terrarium occasionally to boost the
humidity above what the bubblier can do. Several times a day is
sufficient.

Ephedra reduces appetite and stimulates fat metabolism, making it very effective as weight-loss supplement. The active compound in Ephedra (Ma Huang) is ephedrine. Ephedrine increases the metabolic rate, so that your body burns fats and sugar more efficiently. By mobilizing stored fat and carbohydrate reserves, ephedrine reduces your appetite.
The best way to keep unwanted weight off remains reducing your food intake and increasing your daily physical activity. While ephedra is no wonder drug, it can be a valuable aid in helping you get though your chosen diet and exercise regimen. Please read the articles below for more information.

Ephedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs, the only genus in the family Ephedraceae and order Ephedrales. These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea. The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp". Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

Uses and health concerns
Ephedra distachyaThese plants have traditionally been used by indigenous people for a variety of medicinal purposes, and are a likely candidate for the Soma plant of Indo-Iranian religion. The alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are the active constituents of the plant. Some species in the Ephedra genus have zero al or will have numerous mature mushrooms ready
for consumption. The cakes continue to produce mushrooms until
either the nutrients in the rice cake are used up or the moisture in the
rice cake is depleted. Depending on how the cultivator chooses to

implement the terrarium, more or less attention is required at this
phase in the cycle. With the fully automated terrarium setup described
later in this document, attention is only required every few days.
Mostly, this involves picking mature mushrooms and adding water to
the humidifier used in the setup.
It is very likely that the mushrooms will be produced faster than they
can be consumed by the home cultivator once the cropping phase of
the cycle starts. It is fairly easy to dry the mushrooms and preserve
them for many months. In fact, some people prefer the dried
mushrooms to their fresh counterpart. Being the master of
understatement, let me state that they do not taste as good as
mushrooms available in the grocery store.
Occasionally, a sterile spore print from a mature mushroom needs to
be generated if the cycle is to continue. This is used to produce a
spore syringe to inoculate new culture jars. It is a little bit of effort
and requires very careful, sterile procedures to be successful
generating a spore print. Of course, this can be circumvented by
simply ordering a new spore syringe. A 10 cc. spore syringe should
be sufficient to inoculate a dozen jars of substrate. It is the cultivator's
choice which path to follow for successive generations.

Side Effects
What users may not understand or take seriously when they seek the performance enhancing benefits of the supplement are the adverse effects it can produce. Ephedrine raises heat production and body temperature and may increase the athlete’s risk of developing a heat injury during exercise in warm weather.
In addition to increased heat production, other effects may include dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal distress, irregular heartbeat, and heart palpitations to heart attack, stroke, seizures, psychosis and even death.
These side effects can vary among individuals and occasions and don't always depend on how much is consumed. Also, combining caffeine (from coffee, Guarana, mate, or any other source) with ephedrine-containing products (such as those mentioned earlier) greatly increases the risks.2,3
If the knowledge of
Ma Huang these adverse effects isn’t enough to deter users, the International Olympic Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Football League (NFL) are hoping some of their recent policies banning the drug—and suspending players for doping—will be.
Research Findings
Still, are these organizations’ concerns about ephedrine really valid? In December of 2000, a study commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set out to answer that question by examining the adverse cardiovascular and central nervous system events associated with dietary supplements containing ephedra alkaloids.
In the study, records from 140 ephedra users who experienced complications (heart attack, stroke, seizure and death) between 1997 and 1999 were reviewed. These users were young and healthy—and some had only been taking ephedrine for a few days. 2
The researchers found that:
One-third of the patients’ complications were definitely or probably caused by ephedrine use.
Another third of the problems were possibly caused by ephedrine.
In one-fifth of the cases there was not enough information to determine the cause.
While these results illustrate the risks associated with ephedrine, the results of research illustrate its effectiveness. According to research:
A combination of ephedrine and caffeine (0.8 to 1.0 mg of ephedrine per kg and 4 to 5 mg of caffeine per kg consumed 1½ hours before exercise) may improve both anaerobic and high-intensity aerobic performance.4,5
Combining ephedrine and caffeine (20 mg ephedrine and 200 mg caffeine, consumed three times per day) with a low calorie diet (1,000 calories) may also help to promote weight loss in obese individuals.

awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of
amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997).
Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany,
and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman
et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have used amphetamines

duty (Feldman et al., 1997).
Gout Diet Because of the use of amphetamines by Japanese
soldiers, Japan “suffered a serious methamphetamine problem during early
postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991).
Amphetamine use became so common that college students in the 1950s
and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams.
Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was
needed to make the trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St.
Louie,” and for a transcontinental truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were
used (Feldman et al., 1997).
In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs,
which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously.
Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn
the public of the dangers of amphetamines by coining the term “speed kills.”
Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said:

n use a kitchen spray bottle if you are careful. In order to create
the necessary humid environment in the terrarium, the nozzle is
slipped under the cover of the cooler and sprayed at the center of the
top side of the drip shield. See the following diagram:

How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 2)
After spraying for 5 seconds, pull the spray nozzle out of the cooler
and let the lid quickly close, sealing in the vapor. The small water
drops will dramatically raise the humidity of the chamber. The rice
cakes can not ever be sprayed directly. The mycelium is very fragile
and doing that will damage it. The terrarium needs to be sprayed at
least 4 times a day. More is better.
This setup and procedure will work and is very inexpensive, but that is
the only good I have to say about it. You become a slave to your
terrarium. If you miss a couple sessions, your fungus will most
definitely suffer because of it. Also, you can only support a few
growing mushrooms at a time using this procedure. The mushrooms
pull a lot of humidity out of the air and this method doesn't provide
much excess.
Method 2: Using a Fish Tank Bubblier.
The basic portion of this system was originally pioneered by Psylocybe
Fanaticus There are several improvements and adaptations in this
section that were not included in the original method. The idea is to
create humidity by bubbling air through water. A small fish tank air
pump and bubbling stone are used to accomplish this.
This method is inexpensive and allows the terrarium to exist without
your constant attention. It's major limitation is that depending on how
it is implemented, it can only raise the humidity by 15% over ambient.
The minimum acceptable amount of humidity needed by the fungus is
85%. If ambient humidity is going to be less than 70% during the
growing cycle, you will experience problems even with a fully
optimized setup. If you have more than a few mushrooms growing, it
is possible this system will fail to keep the humidity high enough. You
still need to hand spray the terrarium occasionally to boost the
humidity above what the bubblier can do. Several times a day is
sufficient.

Ephedra as a 'smart' drug and energizer
Ephedra or Ma Huang contains the active compound ephedrine. Ephedrine stimulates the central nervous system and provides energy and increases alertness. A higher dose ephedra gives a nice tingling sensation over the head but also on the rest of your body. Ephedra acts a bit like XTC, only milder in its action and less speedy. Ephedra does give the same emphatic feeling as XTC does.
Ephedra and sex
The emphatic feelings and the energy makes ephedra suitable as love enhancer. Although some people claim they get to nervous and restless. So you should test this for yourself.
How to use Ephedra
The best way to take ephedra is in a capsule, but you can also make tea of the ephedra (ma huang) herb. After a certain point taking a higher dose ephedra does not intensify the trip, only taking cafein or guarana might help then. A single dose Ephedra is effective for 6 to10 hours. In the articles below you can find more information on how ephedra works as energizer.

Ephedra (also known as Ma huang, Chinese Ephedra and epitonin) is the worlds oldest medicine. The Chinese discovered ephedra more than 5000 years ago. Research has shown that ephedra increases metabolism and helps promote weight loss, relaxes the air passages in the lungs to help treat asthma and cough, promotes perspiration to help a person recover from a minor cold and helps promote urination to help relieve edema.

The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp". Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

ching the effects, it was discovered that amphetamines could
awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of
amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997).
Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany,
and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman
et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have
metabolife with ephedra used amphetamines
to stay awake

and alert while assigned to especially long periods on
duty (Feldman
Gout Diet et al., 1997).
Because of the use of amphetamines by Japanese
soldiers, Japan “suffered a serious methamphetamine problem during early
postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991).
Amphetamine use became so common that college students in the 1950s
and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams.
Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was
needed to make the trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St.
Louie,” and for a transcontinental truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were
used (Feldman et al., 1997).
In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs,
which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously.
Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn
the public of the dangers of amphetamines by coining the term “speed kills.”
Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said:
In the 1970s the Haight-Ashbury area,
ephedra law of San Francisco,
turned into one of the most violent areas of the city. It
was a direct result of the amphetamine epidemic. In
addition, we saw a great deal of amphetamine psychosis,

from high doses of amphetamine producing paranoia,
auditory, and visual hallucinations. We started getting
a feel that the medical and the psychiatric system did
not know how to handle drug epidemics. For example,
I was also running the alcohol and drug abuse-screening
unit at San Francisco General Hospital where with the
diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia you treat with

The technology of ancient wine making (open fermentation in crocks
or vats) would only produce a six-percent alcohol content. This would be
quickly reduced to acetic acid (vinegar). Ancient wine was produced
exactly the same as modern vinegar. So, a stable vinegar solution was
probably the basis of ancient wine. Vinegar is,
Gout Diet however, not intoxicating.
One explanation is that vinegar was used as a vehicle for carrying other
drugs. Dried drug plants such as poppy (opium), datura, henbane, etc.
being extracted with the vinegar. (With the possible exception of opium
and ephedra, none of these other plants would really be pleasant in their
effects.) Vinegar would then preserve these drugs in solution. This would

THE SACHAMAMA
This picture shows the Sachamama hypnotising a deer in order to swallow it up.
Trees and weeds grow on the Sachamama. This big snake is hard to find, but it can
be seen.On the left side is a small pond from which it drinks. On the right there are
all kinds of animal and even human bones which it has vomited up during its life
time. It expels the meat through its rectum, the bones it vomits.
This big snake rarely moves, remaining perhaps hundreds of years in the same
place. One can even accidentally climb on top of it without realising one is on
this dangerous animal. If a person passes by its head, the Sachamama magnetises
him immediately and swallows him, because it possesses a very powerful magnet,
and no living being that crosses its path can escape.
When a person has noticed the presence of the Sachamama, he must leave swiftly
so as not to be crushed by a tree or struck by lightning, because the Sachamarna
produces a strong wind with lightning and lots of rain, capable of knocking down
trees. When the Sachamama moves to another place, it throws down the trees on its
back and makes a sort of path by knocking down other trees as well.

Supay-caspi and the lowest ones, Supay-anallosacha. You can see that they have
circles at the base of the leaves.
Here you can see a Chullachaki a forest spirit] dressed in royal gowns, reading a
parchment. The others, the shapshicos or sacharunas, listen to the reading of the
decree on the care of wild animals, because they are the ones who have this
responsibility. All of them are dressed in brilliant-colored royal clothes which make
the nearby leaves shine bright, just as perfectly as light bulbs. It's like a
Bacchanalian feast to which all wild animals are invited so they together with their
masters will entertain all the rest, setting up a circus show with dances, music with
euphoric rhythm, and entrancing singing.
There you can hear the most complex
sounds and lullabies of the purity of the forest, of the intricate web of the vegetal
esoteric world. Within vegetalismo there is so much knowledge that could benefit
man. Perhaps some day the hidden secret of longevity will be known, because it is
certain that this is to be found within the plants of the forest.

Over 5000 years ago ephedra (under the name Ma huang) has been used in Chinese medicine to treat several disorders. Amongst others asthma and bronchitis were to be treated properly with ephedra. Ephedra comes from a plant that has a few powerful active compounds, of which ephedrine is the most useful. More information on the chemical connections en the extraction of the active substances is to be read in chemistry.
Over the last few years ephedra has gained much more attention for its side-effects: an increased metabolism, plus the thermeogenic and fat burning qualities that come along with that. This gives the body stimulation and provides energy. Thanks to these qualities ephedra now has a status of weight-loss supplement, smartdrug and sports supplement. A status that has recently become controversial because of the ban on ephedra products in the United States and the Netherlands.

October 3 , 2005 - Ephedra-free diet pills not risk-free
In a scramble to develop new replacement weight-loss aids, drug manufacturers produced drugs containing extracts of bitter orange.
This supplement has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for digestive problems. Studies are finding these new ephedra-free diet pills carry some side effects that are similar to ephedra products.
This botanical contains a compound similar to ephedra, called synephrine. Both of these compounds stimulate the central nervous system and are thought to increase the metabolism. Also both raise blood pressure and heart rate, according to research on Advantra Z and Xenadrine EFX at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr.
Christine Haller, lead author of the University of California, San Francisco study, points out that little research has been done to determine whether or not these new ephedra-free diet pills are safe or effective.
She says the main concern about these new diet pills is the risk they pose to people with elevated blood pressure and conditions like diabetes: two medical conditions which are common in overweight and obese individuals.
“This does indicate that people should use caution when using these ephedra-free diet drugs]” Haller says.
In 1927, the U.S. medical community began to use ephedrine, which is the
active ingredient in ma haung, to open bronchial passages in patients with
asthma. As the supplies of
Ephedra vulgaris
began to dwindle, pharmaceutical
companies began to search for a synthetic alternative. Amphetamine was first
synthesized in 1887, but because there was very little interest in it, the substance
went unnoticed until it became the alternative to ephedrine (Feldman
et al., 1997). By the 1930s, all the major effects of amphetamine were known.

Leptoprin Ephedra Stacker 2 (Yes, you can mix your herbal highs! But
Metabolife With Ephedra in moderation)
Ephedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs, the only genus in the family Ephedraceae and order Ephedrales. These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea.
The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp".
Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

Ephedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs, the only genus in the family Ephedraceae and order Ephedrales. These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea. The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp". Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

Ephedra reduces appetite and stimulates fat metabolism, making it very effective as weight-loss supplement. The active compound in Ephedra (Ma Huang) is ephedrine. Ephedrine increases the metabolic rate, so that your body burns fats and sugar more efficiently. By mobilizing stored fat and carbohydrate reserves, ephedrine reduces your appetite.
The best way to keep unwanted weight off remains reducing your food intake and increasing your daily physical activity. While ephedra is no wonder drug, it can be a valuable aid in helping you get though your chosen diet and exercise regimen. Please read the articles below for more information.

drine stimulates the release of norepinephrine, which stimulates the release of adenosine and the synthesis of prostaglandins by the activated tissue.
Adenosine and prostaglandins both inhibit the effect of norepinephrine. Caffeine opposes the effect of adenosine and so increases norepinephrine release. Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and so enhances the effect of norepinephrine.1
Side Effects
What users may not understand or take seriously when they seek the performance enhancing benefits of the supplement are the adverse effects it can produce. Ephedrine raises heat production and body temperature and may increase the athlete’s risk of developing a heat injury during exercise in warm weather. In addition to increased heat production, other effects may include dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal distress, irregular heartbeat, and heart palpitations to heart attack, stroke, seizures, psychosis and even death.
These side effects can vary among individuals and occasions and don't always depend on how much is consumed. Also, combining caffeine (from coffee, Guarana, mate, or any other source) with
Ephedra Legal Again ephedrine-containing products (such as those mentioned earlier) greatly increases the risks.2,3
If the knowledge of these adverse effects isn’t enough to deter users, the International Olympic Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Football League (NFL) are hoping some of their recent policies banning the drug—and suspending players for doping—will be.
Research Findings
Still, are these organizations’ concerns about ephedrine really valid? In December of 2000, a study commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set out to answer that question by examining the adverse cardiovascular and central nervous system events associated with dietary supplements containing ephedra alkaloids.
In the study, records from
purchase ephedra
140 ephedra users who experienced complications (heart attack, stroke, seizure and death) between 1997 and 1999 were reviewed. These users were young and healthy—and some had only been taking ephedrine for a few days. 2
The researchers found that:
One-third of the patients’ complications were definitely or probably caused by ephedrine use.
Another third of the problems were possibly caused by ephedrine.
In one-fifth of the cases there was not enough information to determine the cause.
While these results illustrate the risks associated with ephedrine, the results of research illustrate its effectiveness.
According to research:
A combination of ephedrine and caffeine (0.8 to 1.0 mg of ephedrine per kg and 4 to 5 mg of caffeine per kg consumed 1½ hours before exercise) may improve both anaerobic and high-intensity aerobic performance.4,5
Combining ephedrine and caffeine (20 mg ephedrine and 200 mg caffeine, consumed three times per day) with a low calorie diet (1,000 calories) may also help to promote weight loss in obese individuals. 6,7
Fed Although banned by the NFL, NCAA and International Olympic Committee, dietary supplements containing ephedrine are still consumed by athletes and the general public, often in the hopes that it will aid weight loss or provide a stimulant-induced performance edge. To find out the latest on this common dietary supplement, we asked Ellen Coleman, RD, MA, MPH, a nutrition consultant for the Los Angeles Lakers and Anaheim Angels, to research the most current findings regarding this drug.

Ephedrine-Containing Supplements
April, 2003
Ellen Coleman, RD, MA, MPH
In many competitions, the difference between winning and losing can occur in one play or the divisions of seconds. So it is not surprising that athletes may want to utilize ephedrine-containing supplements to improve their performance, have more energy or decrease their body fat. Unfortunately, athletes who use ephedrine may risk getting more than they bargained for from the drug. While it may help them run farther and faster, it can also make them prey to the myriad of negative—even potentially life-threatening—side effects. The fact is ephedrine use is controversial at best. Especially when you consider that the NFL, NCAA and International Olympic Committee have all taken steps to keep it off the playing fields. And now, the FDA is getting into the discussion.
What is Ephedrine
So what exactly is ephedrine? Classified as a sympathomimetic drug (a beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist), it’s a central nervous system stimulant that increases serum levels of norepinephrine. The herbs ma huang, ephedra sinica and Sida cordifolia contain ephedrine, which structurally is similar to amphetamines.1
Ephedrine is an effective bronchodilator due to its stimulation of beta–2 receptors in the lungs. However, it also stimulates beta-1 receptors in the heart and causes dose-dependent increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Drugs that are more selective beta-2 agonists are generally preferred for treatment of asthma.1
Ephedrine’s Role in Athletic Performance and Weight Loss
Ephedrine’s appeal to users rests in the fact that it may do one or all of the following three things, depending on the individual:
Improve athletic performance by stimulating the central nervous system and by increasing heart rate and contraction force via activation of the beta-1 receptors.
Suppress appetite by increasing norepinephrine release through stimulation of adrenergic pathways in the hypothalamus.1
Promote weight loss by increasing thermogenesis and resting energy expenditure via stimulation of the muscle beta-2 receptors to increase substrate metabolism.
Combining the drug with caffeine and aspirin (called the "ECA stack"), as some users do in the belief that it will enhance its effectiveness as a weight loss agent, may add significantly to the risk. In this context, ephe
ching the effects, it was discovered that amphetamines could
awaken dogs that were under anesthesia. This discovery led to the use of
amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997).
Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany,
and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman
et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have used amphetamines
to stay awake and alert while assigned to especially long periods on
duty (Feldman et al., 1997). Because of the use of amphetamines by Japanese
soldiers, Japan “suffered a serious methamphetamine problem during early
postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991).
Amphetamine use became so
ephedra ma huang
common that college students in the 1950s
and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams.
Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was
needed to make the
Gout Diet trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St.
Louie,” and for a transcontinental truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were
used (Feldman et al., 1997).
In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs,
which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously.
Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn
the public of the dangers of amphetamines by coining the term “speed kills.”
Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said:
In the 1970s the Haight-Ashbury area, of San Francisco,
turned into one of the most violent areas of the city. It
was a direct result of the amphetamine epidemic.
In
addition, we saw a great deal of amphetamine psychosis,

from high doses of amphetamine producing paranoia,
auditory, and visual hallucinations. We started getting
a feel that the medical and the psychiatric system did
not know how to handle drug epidemics. For example,
I was also running the alcohol and drug abuse-screening
unit at San Francisco General Hospital where with the
diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia you treat with

VISION 15
THE SACHAMAMA
This picture shows the Sachamama hypnotising a deer in order to swallow it up.
Trees and weeds grow on the Sachamama. This big snake is hard to find, but it can
be seen.On the left side is a small pond from which it drinks. On the right there are
all kinds of animal and even human bones which it has vomited up during its life
time. It expels the meat through its rectum, the bones it vomits.
This big snake rarely moves, remaining perhaps hundreds of years in the same
place. One can even accidentally climb on top of it without realising one is on
this dangerous animal. If a person passes by its head, the Sachamama magnetises
him immediately and swallows him, because it possesses a very powerful magnet,
and no living being that crosses its path can escape.
When a person has noticed the presence of the Sachamama, he must leave swiftly
so as not to be crushed by a tree or struck by lightning, because the Sachamarna
produces a strong wind with lightning and lots of rain, capable of knocking down
trees. When the Sachamama moves to another place, it throws down the trees on its
back and makes a sort of path by knocking down other trees as well.

parchment. The others, the shapshicos or sacharunas, listen to the reading of the
decree on the care of wild animals, because they are the ones who have this
responsibility. All of them are dressed in brilliant-colored royal clothes which make
the nearby leaves shine bright, just as perfectly as light bulbs. It's like a
Bacchanalian feast to which all wild animals are invited so they together with their
masters will entertain all the rest, setting up a circus show with dances, music with
euphoric rhythm, and entrancing singing. There you can hear the most complex
sounds and lullabies of the purity of the forest, of the intricate web of the vegetal
esoteric world. Within vegetalismo there is so much knowledge that could benefit
man. Perhaps some day the hidden secret of longevity will be known, because it is
certain that this is to be found within the plants of the forest.

In many competitions, the difference between winning and losing can occur in one play or the divisions of seconds. So it is not surprising that athletes may want to utilize ephedrine-containing supplements to improve their performance, have more energy or decrease their body fat. Unfortunately,

While it may help them run farther and faster, it can also make them prey to the myriad of negative—even potentially life-threatening—side effects. The fact is ephedrine use is controversial at best. Especially when you consider that the NFL, NCAA and International Olympic Committee have all taken steps to keep it off the playing fields. And now, the FDA is getting into the discussion.
What is Ephedrine
So what exactly is ephedrine? Classified as a sympathomimetic drug (a beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist), it’s a central nervous system stimulant that increases serum levels of norepinephrine. The herbs ma huang, ephedra sinica and Sida cordifolia contain ephedrine, which structurally is similar to amphetamines.

Ephedrine is an effective bronchodilator due to its stimulation of beta–2 receptors in the lungs. However, it also stimulates beta-1 receptors in the heart and causes dose-dependent increases in heart rate and blood pressure.
Drugs that are more selective beta-2 agonists are generally preferred for treatment of asthma.1
Ephedrine’s Role in Athletic Performance and Weight Loss
Ephedrine’s appeal to users rests in the fact that it may do one or all of the following three things, depending on the individual:
Improve athletic performance by stimulating the central nervous system and by increasing heart rate and contraction force via activation of the beta-1

Suppress appetite by increasing norepinephrine release through stimulation of adrenergic

Promote weight loss by increasing thermogenesis and resting energy expenditure via stimulation of the muscle beta-2 receptors to increase substrate metabolism.
Combining the drug with caffeine and aspirin (called the "ECA stack"), as some users do in the belief that it will enhance its effectiveness as a weight loss agent, may add significantly to the risk. In this context, ephe

Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and so enhances the effect of norepinephrine.1
Side Effects
What users may not understand or take seriously when they seek the performance enhancing benefits of the supplement are the adverse effects it can produce. Ephedrine raises heat production and body temperature and may increase the athlete’s risk of developing a heat injury during exercise in warm weather. In addition to increased heat production, other effects may include dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal distress, irregular heartbeat, and heart palpitations to heart attack, stroke, seizures, psychosis and even death.
These side effects can vary among individuals and occasions and don't always depend on how much is consumed. Also, combining caffeine (from coffee, Guarana, mate, or any other source) with ephedrine-containing products (such as those mentioned earlier) greatly increases the risks.2,3
If the knowledge of these adverse effects isn’t enough to deter users, the International Olympic Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Football League (NFL) are hoping some of their recent policies banning the drug—and suspending players for doping—will be.
Research Findings
Still, are these organizations’ concerns about ephedrine really valid? In December of 2000, a study commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set out to answer that question by examining the adverse cardiovascular and central nervous system events associated with dietary supplements containing ephedra alkaloids.
In the study, records from 140 ephedra users who experienced complications (heart attack, stroke, seizure and death) between 1997 and 1999 were reviewed. These users were young and healthy—and some had only been taking ephedrine for a few days. 2
The researchers found that:
One-third of the patients’ complications were definitely or probably caused by ephedrine use.
Another third of the problems were possibly caused by ephedrine.
In one-fifth of the cases there was not enough information to determine the cause.
While these results illustrate the risks associated with ephedrine, the results of research illustrate its effectiveness. According to research:
A combination of ephedrine and caffeine (0.8 to 1.0 mg of ephedrine per kg and 4 to 5 mg of caffeine per kg consumed 1½ hours before exercise) may improve both anaerobic and high-intensity aerobic performance.4,5
Combining ephedrine and caffeine (20 mg ephedrine and 200 mg caffeine, consumed three times per day) with a low calorie diet (1,000 calories) may also help to promote weight loss in obese individuals. 6,7

Ephedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs, the only genus in the family Ephedraceae and order Ephedrales. These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea. The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp". Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

into the benzene during separation pour everything back into the separator, let it
stand and repeat the separation more carefully. It is better to leave some
benzene layer in the water and emulsion than to get emulsion and water into the
benzene. Nothing will be wasted. All of the benzene which contains the
mescaline will eventually be salvaged. Sometimes the layers will fail to separate
properly. If this is the case immerse the funnel or jug in a deep pot of hot water
for two hours. This will break up the emulsion and bring about the separation.
Prepare a solution of 2 parts sulfuric acid and one part water. (never add water to
the acid or it will splatter; add the acid a little at a time to the water by pouring it
down the inside of the graduate or measuring cup containing the water.) Add 25
drops of the acid solution one drop at a time to the benzene extracts. Stopper the
jug and shake well for one minute. Then let stand for five minutes. White streaks
of mescaline sulfates should begin to appear in the benzene. If these do not
appear, shake the jug more vigorously for two to three minutes and let it settle for
five more minutes. I have found that when extracting mescaline from San Pedro
it is sometimes necessary to shake the mixture more thoroughly and for a longer
time to get the mescaline streaks to form. This is probably because of the lower
mescaline content in the plant. This would also apply to any peyote that does not
have a high mescaline content. After the streaks appear add 25 more drops of
the acid solution in the same manner, shake as before and let settle for ten
minutes. More streaks will appear. Add 15 drops of acid, shake and wait 15
minutes for streaks to form. Add 10 drops, shake and wait about 30 minutes.
Test the solution with wide range pH paper. It should show that the solution is
between pH 7.5 and 8. Allow the mescaline sulfate crystals to completely
precipitate. Siphon off as much of the benzene as possible without disturbing the
crystals on the bottom of the jug.
The next steps are to salvage any mescaline still in the water and emulsion layer.
Combine the benzene siphonings with the water/emulsion layer, shake these well
together for 5 minutes and let settle for two hours as before. Carefully remove the
benzene layer, treat it again with acid, precipitate the crystals and siphon off the
benzene as in the previous steps. Recombine the siphoned benzene with the
watery layer and repeat this again and again until no more crystals precipitate.
Siphon off as much benzene as possible without drawing crystals through the
siphon.
The next step involves removing the remaining benzene from the crystals. There
are two methods to choose from. The first is the quickest, but requires ether,
which is dangerous and often difficult to procure. Shake up the crystals with the
remaining benzene and pour it into a funnel with filter paper. After the benzene
has passed through the filter rinse ia

all kinds of animal and even human bones which it has vomited up during its life
time. It expels the meat through its rectum, the bones it vomits.
This big snake rarely moves, remaining perhaps hundreds of years in the same
place. One can even accidentally climb on top of it without realising one is on
this dangerous animal. If a person passes by its head, the Sachamama magnetises
him immediately and swallows him, because it possesses a very powerful magnet,
and no living being that crosses its path can escape.
When a person has noticed the presence of the Sachamama, he must leave swiftly
so as not to be crushed by a tree or struck by lightning, because the Sachamarna
produces a strong wind with lightning and lots of rain, capable of knocking down
trees. When the Sachamama moves to another place, it throws down the trees on its
back and makes a sort of path by knocking down other trees as well.
VISION 16
THE SESSION OF THE CHULLACHAKI
This is a vision of the Supay-chacra or garden of the Chullachaki. In the middle we
see a tree called caimitillo Duroja hirsuta]. The two trees beside it are called
Supay-caspi and the lowest ones, Supay-anallosacha. You can see that they have
circles at the base of the leaves.
Here you can see a Chullachaki a forest spirit] dressed in royal gowns, reading a
parchment. The others, the shapshicos or sacharunas, listen to the reading of the
decree on the care of wild animals, because they are the ones who have this
responsibility. All of them are dressed in brilliant-colored royal clothes which make
the nearby leaves shine bright, just as perfectly as light bulbs. It's like a
Bacchanalian feast to which all wild animals are invited so they together with their
masters will entertain all the rest, setting up a circus show with dances, music with
euphoric rhythm, and entrancing singing. There you can hear the most complex
sounds and lullabies of the purity of the forest, of the intricate web of the vegetal
esoteric world. Within vegetalismo there is so much knowledge that could benefit
man. Perhaps some day the hidden secret of longevity will be known, because it is
certain that this is to be found within the plants of the forest.
These animals are called through a telepathic vibration in which the instinct of the
psychic cord m~' the animals come to the meeting. You can see otorongo, the
manco-puma, the lluhuichio-puma, huasca monkey], the squirrel, the cashacushillo

You can also see the vegetarian doctors or heal in a powerful trance that captivates
the psyche of people, who also experience an extraordinary ecstasy and great
happiness upon seeing all these things The Ilipian-tingunas' swarm in this vision.
In the upper left corner is the chirapa rainbow( and two dazzling spaceships that

sitting with nets to catch the spaceships. They wish to take them to bottom and
make the crew members live with Them in luxurious aquatic palaces.
On the right there is another extraterrestrial spa ship with a melodious icaro that has
come from I Kima constellation. It emanates wisdom in the form of heavenly light.
VISION 17
VISION OF THE SNAKES
In this vision we see anacondas and poisonous snakes. At the top left we see the
Huairamama throwing its rainbow to the jungle to give strength to the medicine the
healer prepares for his patient, who was bitten by a snake. In the background are
beings with magnetic radiation’s who play music to make the icaro of
concentration more pleasant. The one in the corner playing a horn has a destructive
laser. In front of him sits Prince Harvadek playing the harp and enrapturing his
listeners with the persuasive and melodious ultrasound of his esoteric songs. These
songs have rhythmic modulations never heard in simple songs. Next to him is a
prince dressed in a yellow tunic and green cloak. He uses an enchanting flute with
small green bells and diamond lights, capable of paralysing the advance of any
flying object.
Under the Huairamama we see the Abuelito Casiano, a great tamer with much
wisdom in psychometric sciences. On the head of the Huairarnama you notice a
flying object in the form of a scorpion that has come from Saturn. Lower down you
can see Mu Ni Ju, a great Chinese guru from the family of the great Sakias. He
studies mystic subjects such as sacred Sanskrit, astronomic knowledge, and sublime
powers for difficult cures. He has in his hand a magic healing stick and a sceptre of
cosmic, occult conjuration’s.
Further down is the Sachamama, throwing her rainbow charged with waves of
light. Above her near the top we can see the Aya-angash aya, dead; angash, blue]
with healing powers bestowed by plants and flowers; and we see the Atun-angash,
who takes care of the healers with whom she works.
At the top right corner are the great Queen Adonat and her ladies, Menit and
Sieme, carrying boxes with balsam and aromatic ointments of white, dusky pink,
and light-blue Ephedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs, the only genus in the family Ephedraceae and order Ephedrales. These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea. The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp". Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

implement the terrarium, more or less attention is required at this
phase in the cycle. With the fully automated terrarium setup described
later in this document, attention is only required every few days.
Mostly, this involves picking mature mushrooms and adding water to
the humidifier used in the setup.
It is very likely that the mushrooms will be produced faster than they
can be consumed by the home cultivator once the cropping phase of
the cycle starts. It is fairly easy to dry the mushrooms and preserve
them for many months. In fact, some people prefer the dried
mushrooms to their fresh counterpart. Being the master of
understatement, let me state that they do not taste as good as
mushrooms available in the grocery store.
Occasionally, a sterile spore print from a mature mushroom needs to
be generated if the cycle is to continue. This is used to produce a
spore syringe to inoculate new culture jars. It is a little bit of effort
and requires very careful, sterile procedures to be successful
generating a spore print. Of course, this can be circumvented by
simply ordering a new spore syringe. A 10 cc. spore syringe should
be sufficient to inoculate a dozen jars of substrate. It is the cultivator's
choice which path to follow for successive generations.

October 3 , 2005 - Ephedra-free diet pills not risk-free
In a scramble to develop new replacement weight-loss aids, drug manufacturers produced drugs containing extracts of bitter orange. This supplement has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for digestive problems. Studies are finding these new ephedra-free diet pills carry some side effects that are similar to ephedra products.
This botanical contains a compound similar to ephedra, called synephrine. Both of these compounds stimulate the central nervous system and are thought to increase the metabolism.
Also both raise blood pressure and heart rate, according to research on Advantra Z and Xenadrine EFX at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Christine Haller, lead author of the University of California, San Francisco study, points out that little research has been done to determine whether or not these new ephedra-free diet pills are safe or effective.
She says the main concern about these new diet pills is the risk they pose to people with elevated blood pressure and conditions like diabetes: two medical conditions which are common in overweight and obese individuals.
“This does indicate that people should use caution when using these ephedra-free diet drugs]” Haller says.
In 1927, the U.S. medical community began to use ephedrine, which is the
active ingredient in ma haung, to open bronchial passages in patients with
asthma. As the supplies of
Ephedra vulgaris
began to dwindle, pharmaceutical
companies began to search for a synthetic alternative. Amphetamine was first
synthesized in 1887, but because there was very little interest in it, the substance
went unnoticed until it became the alternative to ephedrine (Feldman

This discovery led to the use of
amphetamines, in pill form, to treat narcolepsy (Feldman et al., 1997).
Amphetamines were also rumored to have been used in Japan, Britain, Germany,
and the U.S. during World War II (Brecher 1972; Lovett, 1994; Feldman
et al., 1997). U.S. and Japanese army personnel are said to have used amphetamines
to stay awake and alert while assigned to especially long periods on
duty (Feldman et al., 1997). Because of the Loss Weight Loss Ephedra use
where to buy ephedra of amphetamines by Japanese
soldiers, Japan “suffered Diet Drug a serious methamphetamine problem during early
postwar years” (Suwaki, 1991).
Amphetamine use became so common that college students in the 1950s
and 1960s used amphetamines to stay awake all night to study for exams.
Long-haul truckers named their routes after how much amphetamine was
needed to make the trip. To get halfway across the U.S., truckers used “St.
Louie,” and for a transcontinental truck run, “West Coast turnabouts” were
used (Feldman et al., 1997).
In the 1960s, California users of amphetamine began using speedballs,
which are a combination of amphetamine and heroin taken intravenously.
Physicians of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in San Francisco tried to warn
the public of the dangers of amphetamines by coining the term “speed kills.”
Dr. D. Smith of the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic said:
In the 1970s the Haight-Ashbury area, of San Francisco,
turned into one of the most violent areas of the city. It
was a direct result of the amphetamine epidemic. In
addition, we saw a great deal of amphetamine psychosis,

from high doses of amphetamine producing paranoia,
auditory, and visual hallucinations. We started getting
a feel that the medical and the psychiatric system did
not know how to handle drug epidemics. For example,
I was also running the alcohol and drug abuse-screening
unit at San Francisco General Hospital where with the
diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia you treat with

psychosis you detoxify them and use a short-term
course of psychotropic medication and get them into

The technology of ancient wine making (open fermentation in crocks
or vats) would only produce a six-percent alcohol content. This would be
quickly reduced to acetic acid (vinegar). Ancient wine was produced
exactly the same as modern vinegar. So, a stable vinegar solution was
probably the basis of ancient wine. Vinegar is, however, not intoxicating.
One explanation is that vinegar was used as a vehicle for carrying other
drugs. Dried drug plants such as poppy (opium), datura, henbane, etc.
being extracted with the vinegar. (With the possible exception of opium
and ephedra, none of these other plants would really be pleasant in their

beings with magnetic radiation’s who play music to make the icaro of

laser. In front of him sits Prince Harvadek playing the harp and enrapturing his
listeners with the persuasive and melodious ultrasound of his esoteric songs. These
songs have rhythmic modulations never heard in simple songs. Next to him is a
prince dressed in a yellow tunic and green cloak. He uses an enchanting flute with
small green bells and diamond lights, capable of paralysing the advance of any
flying object.
Under the Huairamama we see the Abuelito Casiano, a great tamer with much
wisdom in psychometric sciences. On the head of the Huairarnama you notice a
flying object in the form of a scorpion that has come from Saturn. Lower down you
can see Mu Ni Ju, a great Chinese guru from the family of the great Sakias. He
studies mystic subjects such as sacred Sanskrit, astronomic knowledge, and sublime
powers for difficult cures. He has in his hand a magic healing stick and a sceptre of
cosmic, occult conjuration’s.

light. Above her near the top we can see the Aya-angash aya, dead; angash, blue]

These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea. The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp". Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

Uses and health concerns
Ephedra distachyaThese plants have traditionally been used by indigenous people for a variety of medicinal purposes, and are a likely candidate for the Soma plant of Indo-Iranian religion. The alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are the active constituents of the plant. Some species in the Ephedra genus have zero al Most users find that the effects of salvinorin are not conducive to socializing. People given Salvia often feel as though a trick has been played on them; in fact, while under the influence, most people tend to find any external stimuli distracting. Most people under the influence of salvia will remain in place although some users may move around.

Ephedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs, the only genus in the family Ephedraceae and order Ephedrales. These plants occur in dry climates over a wide area mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, across southern Europe, north Africa, southwest and central Asia, southwestern North America, and, in the Southern Hemisphere, in South America south to Patagonia. They are also called Joint-pine, Jointfir, or Mormon-tea. The Chinese name is 麻黄, ma huang, which means "yellow hemp". Ephedra is also sometimes called sea grape (from the French raisin de mer), although that is also a common name for Coccoloba uvifera.

Safety
For FDA information on ephedra, please see the ephedra.com FDA page.
As ephedra is a stimulant and a thermogenic, it should NOT be used by people / in situations where these properties might be harmful. There are some common sense rules about using ephedra:
Do not use ephedra if you have any medical problems as the use of a stimulant might overtax your system. Do not use ephedra if your activity / environment will prevent you from dissipating heat. Your body core temperature might exceed safe levels.
And do not take more than the manufacturer's recommended amount.
What this means is: If you have a heart condition, do not take ephedra. And if you plan to wear clothes to raise your body temperature, do not take ephedra. And do not think that playing baseball on a hot muggy day will counteract these two common sense

Hood drine stimulates the release of norepinephrine, which stimulates the release of adenosine and the synthesis of prostaglandins by the activated tissue. Adenosine and prostaglandins both inhibit the effect of norepinephrine. Caffeine opposes the effect of adenosine and so increases norepinephrine release. Aspirin inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and so enhances the effect of norepinephrine.1
Side Effects
What users may not understand or take seriously when they seek the performance enhancing benefits of the supplement are the adverse effects it can produce. Ephedrine raises heat production and body temperature and may increase the athlete’s risk of developing a heat injury during exercise in warm weather. In addition to increased heat production, other effects may include dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal distress, irregular heartbeat, and heart palpitations to heart attack, stroke, seizures, psychosis and even death.
These side effects can vary among individuals and occasions and don't always depend on how much is consumed. Also, combining caffeine (from coffee, Guarana, mate, or any other source) with ephedrine-containing products (such as those mentioned earlier) greatly increases the risks.2,3
If the knowledge of these adverse effects isn’t enough to deter users, the International Olympic Committee, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Football League (NFL) are hoping some of their recent policies banning the drug—and suspending players for doping—will be.
Research Findings
Still, are these organizations’ concerns about ephedrine really valid? In December of 2000, a study commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) set out to answer that question by examining the adverse cardiovascular and central nervous system events associated with dietary supplements containing ephedra alkaloids.
In the study, records from 140 ephedra users who experienced complications (heart attack, stroke, seizure and death) between 1997 and 1999 were reviewed. These users were young and healthy—and some had only been taking ephedrine for a few days. 2
The researchers found that:
One-third of the patients’ complications were definitely or probably caused by ephedrine use.
Another third of the problems were possibly caused by ephedrine.
In one-fifth of the cases there was not enough information to determine the cause.
While these results illustrate the risks associated with ephedrine, the results of research illustrate its effectiveness. According to research:
A combination of ephedrine and caffeine (0.8 to 1.0 mg of ephedrine per kg and 4 to 5 mg of caffeine per kg consumed 1½ hours before exercise) may improve both anaerobic and high-intensity aerobic performance.4,5
Combining ephedrine and caffeine (20 mg ephedrine and 200 mg caffeine, consumed three times per day) with a low calorie diet (1,000 calories) may also help to promote weight loss in obese individuals. 6,7

In a scramble to develop new replacement weight-loss aids, drug manufacturers produced drugs containing extracts of bitter orange. This supplement has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for digestive problems.

Dr. Christine Haller, lead author of the University of California, San Francisco study, points out that little research has been done to determine whether or not these new ephedra-free diet pills are safe or effective. She says the main concern about these new diet pills is the risk they pose to people with elevated blood pressure and conditions like diabetes: two medical conditions which are common in overweight and obese individuals.
“This does indicate that people should use caution [when using these ephedra-free diet drugs]” Haller says.

active ingredient in ma haung, to open bronchial passages in patients with
