Product Description
If you have listened to the news or read a newspaper lately, you've likely heard something relating to the supposed dangers of ephedra. Maybe that this football player or that baseball player collapsed, had a serious reaction, or even died because of taking an ephedra supplement. That seems to be the consensus - that ephedra can literally kill you. But is ephedra really a "killer" herb? Does it really cause heart attacks, strokes, seizures, or the other serious effects that are commmonly reported in the media? The answers will likely surprise you. In Ephedra Fact & Fiction, author Mike Fillon uncovers the realy story behind the ephedra controversy. Investigating every avenue, from behind-the-scene deals between lawmakers and pharmaceutical companies to an unwitting media's perpetuation of misinformation created by "front" PR firms to the blatant dismissal of legitmate research supporting ephedra's safety, the book turns the entire ephedra firestorm on its head. More compelling is Fillon's discovery that this scenario is not simply about ephedra - rather, it is the entire supplement industry, the legislation that governs it and the availability of even the most common nutritional supplement that are the real targets.

Ephedra Conspiracy January 16, 2004
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been taking Ephedra for three years now and have followed the label requirements with no ill effects. I really believe this is just a way for government and pharmacuetical companies to try to restrict the rights on those who take supplements. In the book the author points out what really happens behind the scene in Washington with using the media and press to drive the fear into people who want to take Ephedra. ANYONE who takes supplements, not just Ephedra should give this book a look since it shows that it could happen with any supplement.
It's about more than ephedra!!! January 16, 2004

At first I was skeptical--what did I care about ephedra since I didn't use it. However, this book shows how ephedra is just the tip of the iceberg. If the pharmaceutical industry and their allies in Congress can crush ephedra with nothing more than anecdotal evidence is any supplement safe? Today ephedra--tomorrow Vitamin C!!!! This is a great book to read to understand the issue.
