Ephedra Weight Loss Pills
by Todd Massey
The reputation of diet pills with ephedra is still remarkable. Millions of consumers each year persist in the effort to look for ephedra products that have not been available for years. Products like Stacker 2 with ephedra, Xenadrine RFA-1, or Hydroxycut with ephedra, and of course Metabolife 356 the company that made it has gone bankrupt due to the large amount of lawsuits.
Diet pills with ephedra are made with Ma Huang an herb mainly grown in India and China. Used medicinally for thousands of years then it became known in the US for the powerful ability to promote weight loss when combined with caffeine. It was also extremely cheap along with being effective making consumers very happy.
How ephedra works is a bit complicated. Fat burning messengers come from the chemicals ephedrine (the strongest one) and pseudoephedrine found in the ephedra plant. These chemicals were found about two decades ago to help the body burn additional body fat. You need to have large enough amounts of ephedrine combined with caffeine to really do the work.
About 300,000 deaths occur in the US because of problems due to obesity such as heart disease. Very soon 75% of all Americans will be considered overweight. Many will always want a quick fix diet pill and that will never change. What will change is the fact that the drug companies will increase their profits because they will continue their campaign to crush effective herbal remedies like ephedra.
Products like aspirin (called NSAIDs or Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) killed an estimated 7,600 people and hospitalized 76,000 more in the US in a single year. How about the fact that in a single year (2000) there were over 100,000 deaths from the proper use of prescription drugs. Compare that information to the fact that ephedra and ephedrine drugs may have possibly contributed to a grand total of 84 deaths during a 10 year period. Now the ephedra ban when compared to those numbers makes no logical sense at all.
Want to burn more fat? Then you want the chemical ephedrine found in ephedra. Ephedrine tricks your body into increasing or stimulating thermo-genesis. Thermo-genesis is what happens when your body begins to warm up by burning additional calories. This trick is the same things that happen when you are suddenly scared and adrenalin is suddenly released into your body. There is a sudden need for fuel and that means extra calories are burned up.
When the FDA was going about their business of protecting the public from dangerous drugs, they already knew they were going to get rid of ephedra. They did this by manipulating information that made ephedra look like an herb that would kill thousands of people a year. But the truth remains, there was an agenda in place and all they had to do was go through the motions.
