Ephedra Weight Loss Pills

By: Todd Massey

The popularity of ephedra diet pills is still amazing. Millions of people a year continue to scour the internet specifically looking for certain products that have not been available for years. If you are trying to find the old brand names that were so incredibly popular you will not find them selling any diet pills that contain ephedra. They have moved on and you cannot get Xenadrine RFA-1, or Hydroxycut with ephedra, Stacker with ephedra and Metabolife have gone out of business due to the high number of lawsuits that forced the company into bankruptcy.

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.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2000 showed that within a 12 month period over 100,000 deaths resulted from the proper administration of prescription drugs. These types of prescription related deaths are now the 4th leading cause of death in America with only heart disease, cancer and stroke leading the way. Ephedra and ephedrine products may have contributed to about 84 deaths over a period of 10 years. NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) accounts for an estimated 7,600 deaths and 76,000 hospitalizations in the United States." NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen and other similar drugs.

In response to a stressful situation, your sympathetic nervous system gears up to either go to battle or escape a situation immediately. Heart rate and blood pressure increase to prepare the body for action. Ephedrine mimics the effects of epinephrine and norepinephtine, the two naturally occurring chemicals in the body primarily responsible for the fight or flight syndrome. When you take ephedrine, then, you're basically stimulating your sympathetic nervous system, causing: a faster heartbeat, increased force of heart contraction and increased blood flow, increased blood pressure, increased thermogenesis (the body's heat production, generated by calorie-burning) increased blood flow to the brain slightly increased basal metabolic rate.

The FDA wanted to ban ephedra. When they were holding hearings and gathering evidence about ephedra they ignored supporting information, and twisted harmful information so that ephedra would look as bad as possible.
