Ephedra Conspiracy

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!!!

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.
