Thanks, Matt. I went to Emord's site and signed the Health Freedom
Petition and emailed it to my Rep last night. I also listened to
Jonathan Emord's radio show from Jan. 14, 2006. He's brilliant and
his guests said alot of good things about the safety of ephedra, etc.
Very interesting show. There's hope for us yet.

Sweetie

many people as possible to check out that petition. The one that
ephdera.com has is good too. We need to get this information out ASAP.

They have one on ephedra and it's brilliant. The letter shows the
data contributed by MD's and others on the sound benefits of ephedra.
It also shows how the infamous Steve Belcher (Baltimore pitcher) case
that started the negative hype about ephedra was completely flawed
and biased to fit the FDA's agenda. It showed that Belcher had only
consumed 30mg of ephedra, however, he also suffered from obesety, had
a history of heat illness and had liver problems. Moreover, the
autopsy showed he died of heat exhaustion, not from "ephedra."
