Utah Judge Strikes Down Ephedra Ban
By MARK THIESSEN
Associated Press Writer
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A federal judge has struck down the FDA ban on supplements containing ephedra, a weight-loss aid linked to dozens of deaths, but it's too early to tell whether the product will be back in stores anytime soon. (How many death with pharmaceutics's...give us a break!)
The judge Thursday ruled in favor of a Utah supplement company that challenged the Food and Drug Administration's year-old ban. Nutraceutical claimed that ephedra has been safely consumed for hundreds of years.

Research shows that the amphetamine-like herb can speed heart rate and constrict blood vessels even in seemingly healthy people, but it is particularly risky for those with heart disease or high blood pressure or who engage in strenuous exercise. Among the deaths linked to the substance was that of Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Steve Bechler, who collapsed and died during spring training two years ago.

The judge's decision was seen by some anti-ephedra advocates as falling short of an outright reversal of the ban, though a Nutraceutical lawyer declared flatly, "the ban is gone." The company said it is too soon to say whether it will put the product back on shelves.

Industry groups said supplements that included ephedra were once used by 12 million people.

Judge Tena Campbell's order prevents the FDA from stopping Nutraceutical from selling its product and sent the case back to the FDA for a determination of what are safe and dangerous levels of ephedrine.

The FDA was evaluating the ruling, but Health and Human Services spokesman William Pierce said the agency "made the right decision from the standpoint of science and our statutory authority. This is exactly when the dietary supplement law should apply."

Health officials and Justice Department lawyers are looking at the ruling to determine the next step, Pierce said.

Campbell agreed with Nutraceutical that ephedra was wrongly being regulated by the FDA as a drug and not a food. She said a 1994 federal dietary supplement law places more restrictive rules on the FDA in determining whether to ban foods as opposed to drugs. The judge said the law requires the FDA to prove that a dietary supplement is harmful, rather than having the manufacturer prove it is safe, as is required with drugs.

"The (FDA's) statement that a safe level cannot be determined is simply not sufficient to meet the government's burden," Campbell wrote.

Nutraceutical President Bruce Hough said the lawsuit had little to do with ephedra and more to do with forcing the FDA to follow the rules Congress set down for it.

"This is a great affirmation for the system, that the court goes back and says, 'This is Congress' intent,' and follow it," he said.

Ephedra opponents said the language in the order applies only to a very specific, lower-dosage segment of the market. The ruling's final page prohibits the FDA from enforcing the ban on Nutraceutical's supplements containing 10 milligrams or less of ephedra. (This is a pharmacital company)

Ten milligrams per day was the dosage of Nutraceutical's products.

"No one - not the FDA, the supplement industry, nor the public - has been satisfied by how ephedra has been regulated," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who helped write the 1994 law that also deregulated the supplement industry. "Millions of people have used the product with satisfaction, but there is no doubt the product has had some serious problems," he said.

Illinois Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, a frequent ephedra critic who worked for the ban, said the ruling underlined the need for "a mandatory and uniform system of reporting adverse health events that result from use of certain dietary s interesting:

FACILITATING DISEASE REVERSALS...

TRY THIS; IF A MIRACLE HASN'T HAPPEN, AND EVEN IF ONE DID HAPPEN; HOW MANY MORE WILL COME TO CURE OTHER SICKNESS OR DISEASES FOR YOU? TRUST ME YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION. GOD LOVE ALL, NOT JUST A SAMPLE FEW. That's why I write this blog...for the one's who think they are lost or without hope. Thanks for listening today. And hope of writing this post more clear then yesterday's.

This is one basic assumption toward health and my second basic lesson toward reversing diseases, by using mild foods only. (Plants and grains)
Please let me expound three ways to reverse illness; The first is Mild Food Diet; (mild fast along with foods that build yet doesn’t stop elimination), a second; Semi Fast (explained on this post), then the third; is Fasting, called Natures best surgeon, however some are just too weak (This may let go of many toxins such as drugs, parasites, inflammation etc.)
We all naturally fast at night, or can fast one, two, three meals, or 24 hours etc. Remember this is the way the animals instinctively do in the wild, to renew their health; before you dismiss this method of healing. Throughout the scriptures history mentions these three methods of healing.
The best diet (healing process) for the weaker is semi fasting. How often or long depends on desired results of health. Vegan neither milk nor dairy) or vegetarian diets are maintain for longer periods of time. The great point to this method is it’s easily adjusted to any culture, people or children likes.

A Semi-Fast chips off and will reverse chronic diseases. The following diet is all mild foods that help nature naturally and easily clear the body of toxic wastes. All disease is toxins branching out from stomach and colon. It's a great weight lose tool clearing out fat with fibrous foods.
Nature has her rules which our carnal bodies are subject and predicated (foreordained) and, obedient to her laws (temporal and spiritual.) Only then, will health make an appearance. I must stress a Semi
Fast is also a “mild food fast,” more toward "fasting" because concentrated food that block elimination such as meat is cut out while on the fast. (The “hallways” (blood - liver) are cleared for a slow process to cleaning house.

The only way the body will heal itself is through the following:
1. Fasting, 2. Semi-fasting, 3. Forced elimination. There are no other ways.

…”And whosoever among you are sick and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food”… Semi-fast foods are in this category of “mild” because it's not hindering the natural eliminating process of the disease.

Semi-fast:
In the beginning eat as much as desired of more vegetables than fruits. As you feel better, you can begin to eat more fruit. Fruit draws and loosens waste and toxins rapidly. (For Chronic Sickness): A semi-fast sustain they body health and energy at the same time. Vegetable slows down this process of eliminations of buildup toxins; fruit, especially, speeds up the process of eliminations. Too many drugs or toxins eliminated at once can really make some very sick. It’s much faster than a fast. A forced eliminations is when the body is forced to eliminated using an organ as a channel to get an over toxic body clear to save your life. Better than buildup a disease then death. Some; it’s too late because most sick have stopped this force elimination process by halting the flue, fevers, and bowels being plugged to any appropriate daily elimination.

1. *All Fruits and Vegetables (don’t forget to use raw whenever possible, fully ripen...”live foods)! This is first in human and most animal’s food chain.
*Fruit juice, (raw (or fresh), frozen or canned) this can be overdone not enough fiber. Does it come in nature that way? Consider them as nature’s candy … a treat.
Vegetable juices (raw-fresh whenever possible)
http://shermsrecipes.blogspot.com/2011/11/lemon-remedies.html (This includes all vegetables, above or under the ground, and organic herbal that are healthy for food, the others used as medicine with counseled (researched) care. (Same as vegan or the latter vegetarianism)
*Soft oils (cold first cold pressing, olive, grape, nut oils, and safflower ... if extracted from plant sources. (Mono’s oils) http://shermsrecipes.blogspot.com/2011/11/mother-natures-oil-that-heals.html
*All raw nuts and seeds (Seeds are known parasite destroyers.) They can be roasted if need be, and all nuts are full of omega’s natural oils.
* Raw Honey (Stevia, an herbal sweetener) lastly other natural sweetener’s that is organic grown in whole from nature.
*Sprouts (alfalfa, beans and all grains), sprouted. Not enough can be said on organically grown whole grains...they should be the "staff of life". (However man has ruin the DNA of most of our grain and foods. Be generous with the right grains. breads are found in health food stores and some grocery stores in the frozen sections and can be used here. Example: Ezekiel sprouted grain bread 4:9 (Food For Life) (Found in the frozen sections of stores and Health Food Stores)
*All starch vegetables baked (Potatoes, squash, parsnips and yams i.e.)
Bake potatoes baked at 500 will turn it to glucose that requires no hormonal changes to be easily utilized turning it to glucose to be readily used in the body.
* Grains, and Legumes if sprouted are converted to a glucose sugar)
* Legumes are considered vegetable-fruit, see dictionary, are also a seed, and great gems of nutrition and natures fiber.
......................
Avoid concentrated food when “chronically” sick
Grains, sugar, includes all artificial sweeteners, dairy products, butter, eggs, dried legumes, meats, peanuts, chips, junk foods, etc.; not while on a specific fast cleanse, but can be added later.)
Again: Fruit is a builder, cleanser, healer and a perfect food for man. But it cleanses fast, "it speeds up the process of elimination, moving too much waste into the blood at one time. While vegetables "slows down this clean process, and concentrated foods, such as animal proteins, brings cleaning to a screeching halt. Combine fruits with vegetables to slow down elimination's.
Here are some good recipes: http://shermsrecipes.blogspot.com/

*Your foods should be your medicine, vegetables-herbs, fruit, seeds …"and the leaf there of..." herbal teas are included. Use the bitter herbs for medication such as for parasites. Eat fresh foods (NO GMO FOODS) from healthy plants will make the healing process better and faster.

*Food has to be changed to glucose to be utilized in our bodies. The more the body has to work in changing foods to glucose the harder it is on the body healing. The harder this conversion process the more it will require energy, more hormones and more work on all internal organ, tiring the ill out taking away from healing processes if chronically sick.

+YOUR GAGE IS: Watch your tongue, when your eliminating your tongue will be coated white, THE LIVER IS DUMPING. It shows on fasting days too. Then real health will be forth coming and so will a "healing crisis" in about every 3 months. (All your illnesses with rewind backwards with every “healing crisis”) More will come on this subject in another post on signs of a HEALING CRISIS.

HEALING CRISIS_OR DISEASE CRISIS?

RE: After using the semi fast, around three months of mild foods you may experience a Healing Crisis a part of the process of cleanse of your body. (See post) This can be brought about by obedience to the rules of nature with cleansing the body through eating differently on organically grown plants or grain. Remember a disease crisis comes only to those with a buildup of toxins as a result of disobedience to natures laws. This is important to pay attention and learn. When we have the flu it's a forced elimination. This will act the same. The only way the body will heal itself through the following:
1. Fasting 2. Semi-fasting (are mild foods) 3. Forced Elimination, as with illnesses.
A. This happens only as the body is naturally cleansed through fasting and/or in a semi-fasting using correct body building foods.
B. This happens only when the body has enough vitality to stand the shock.
C. This happens when a person feels the best.
D. This usually happens about three months of correct eating to bring about a healing crisis.
E. This only lasts two or three days at the most. No need to take an enema or help in any way, except to stop eating.
F. Sometimes, by correct eating, semi-fasting, etc., the body picks off the waste a little at a time, and no crisis is necessary, and depend on the person..
Notice the difference between the healing and disease crisis.................................................................................

DISEASE CRISIS
1. Happens when the body is too full of mucus and clogged to its limit.
2. Happens when enough germs, parasites, funguses i.e. have multiplied and needs to be eliminated.
3. Happens when body strength and vitality are lowest.
4. Happens to save the life. If clogging continues at the rate it is going, the person would die because of injury to body organs. (Poisons are pumping in the blood through-out the heart, and vital organs as in cancer, etc.)
5. Lasts several weeks or more
6. Happens, sometimes when the body becomes extremely cold, causing the body to squeeze like a sponge thus starting elimination.

*Fruit, Loosens, sustains the body and cleanses. Vegetables, Slow down process of elimination somewhat. They sustain the body and cleanses. Protein's on mild food diet, halts any process of elimination. (Meat) Even a little protein with live foods,(herbs vegetables) may not move out toxic wastes which causes obstructions and builds up to chronic disease. It the biggest reason people can't lose weight and keep it off.
.............................
Addendum:
*No Vitamin therapy because there’s no such thing as a vitamin within that shown within the body's compositions chemistry, it's a blind study at the most. To understand this statement further study is needed.
*Example: Go to the Internet and type in Keyword: hair analysis there are many companies who do this work or go to your physician for blood work. The test will let you know where you are high in a mineral and your body needs when it comes a mineral. Then use the best plant source high in that specific mineral to balance out the rest. This will aid you immensely toward getting well. If you’re anemic in iron or depleted in minerals you can't lose weight nor get well. Your body is starving for basic nutrition. Careful your source of mineral may hinder you if you choose rock, egg shells, oyster etc. select the plants sources. You need a good balance of minerals. Your body must not be in a starving mode by missing minerals to be healthy.
You will find the rewards will be less hungry and your mind will become sharp. See: 1 Daniel; King Nebuchadnezzar musicians didn't pass the test, but Daniel and his family tested out 10 times more knowledge in learning and wisdom at the end of three years. (No meat, wine etc.)
*Use nature's natural, mercury, lead, nickel, manganese, copper, cobalt, cadmium, iron, zinc, chromium, potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, phosphorus i.e. balanced CHELATED minerals from organically grown plants. (All Corpses lack minerals.

Go toward the Mild Food Diet post and stay on this diet to heal. Adding more Mild Foods as you get better. Go back and forth, but know the difference between diets and why ... for herein lies the wisdom.
+Book: Energy Fast by Pamela Serure

*The reason the "The Jerusalem Diet" works for dieters is because people eat just fruits and vegetables on the days you gain weight. It’s a semi fast. Those days your body has a chance to clean! Susan Summers diet worked for the same reasoning, meats and carbs were eaten at least a meal apart.
But the mild food diet is a diet that you are in charge of not a book combining all it for you.
Not enough can be said on organically grown whole grains...they should be the staff of life. (However man has ruined the DNA of most of our grain and foods. Be generous with the right grains, no GMO foods.
Mild Foods, Fasting; (D.C. Words of Wisdom, bible all connects, do read futher on this post subject.)

ARTHRITIS AND GOUT REMEDIES pt 2

Chronic Arthritis (part 2)
*Other Herbals: Marsh mellow Root (The herb for the acid when in pain), Yellow dock, Milk thistle for the liver or Turmeric for inflammations and there are many other good herbs. Acids in any foods can be followed by pain. (Slippery Elm, Broken Cell Chlorella, many their are many other Cox 2 products, Chanca Piedra, Comfrey root, for pain and baking soda.) These are the one's I've used after weeding through many other that were too costly for what the end results turned out. These were just as good and cheaper.

Add plant protein instead of animal

*Sugars: The other real problems is Aspartame, fructose or high corn syrups (fake sugars i.e.) causes inflammations. If you are taking any of these product close this page. I cannot help you nor can anyone else. It’s that simple. Write down what sugars you are taking and only take one type at a time. Fructose, corn syrup and diet sugars will cause acute pain and makes body acid because of the large amount of fruit involved. It’s too concentrated and too harsh for diabetic and arthritic condition. 
Fruit makes the body eliminate faster than vegetables or proteins. This faster elimination will be a big problem here. Some may not be able to handle fruit juices at all. Some my mix them with a lot more vegetables that cushions the fruit or use them with organic complex whole grains. That’s what keeping a daily food journal is all about in aiding the findings of your acid food levels. It's best to eat fruit with a vegetable not alone.
Re: Gout: BBC News February 1, (Read...)

tart cherry juice

*Meat causes lots too much uri c acid, and it stops the process of eliminating, and adds the wrong kind of fat, parasites, chemicals and heavy metal from their fed and are sources all all diseases. If you are a meat eater make a note on the days you eat meat and the days you go without. This will show how your feeling, and what did it turning out to be a wiser guide than a doctors visit and less costly. Or, eat two meals without meat and one with meat, or etc., as this will allow some space to eliminate toxins.

*The tongue will have a coat of white when you’re eliminating the toxin from the liver and blood, notice this coating in the mornings or most especially when fasting.

*Add dill pickles in the morning (It's apple cider vinegar, kills parasites and get rid of the lactic acids) the runners and walkers know of this product. Just by adding a Tbs. of apple cider vinegar rids the body of the lactic acids build up in the muscles that cause stiffness and pain. Especially in the spring when you just starting up exercise. Or, just starts the day off with fresh lemonade sweetened with some pear juice.

*Cabbage Juice: Not only for cancer but raw cabbage juice relieves joint pain and swelling fast. It was an old poultice application for a cancer remedy of the breast. (...not heated, sour kraut)

Do exercise your muscles even if it’s yoga, or light weight lifting each day. Keep the circulation going even if it’s some sort of electric massage therapy, and heat lamps or an electric heat pad on your feet at night. Keeps that blood flowing to the area to mock a fever. A fever is nature’s way of adding heat to kill parasites.

A Vinegar or  a Clorox feet and leg soak and water to the area works wonders to killing parasites along with the pain.
· Watch your water intake making sure it clean and drinking lots of it instead of other liquids. This will dilute all poisons and toxins carrying them out of the body. If the urine is yellow, drink room temperature water not juices, teas, coffee, pops etc.
……………Post notesThe following is from examples of Arthritis remedies some of which I use like, (1)Wild Oregano or (2) ACV or vinegar with baking soda for parasites, Juices such as; (3) Apple Juice, Grape and, Pineapple Juice (4) Jell-O or (5) apple pectin for joints or the (7) Jell-O or/and (8) Glucosamin and Chondroitin’s, MSM however not from shellfish, and has to be of good quality and vegetable source not grown in yeast i.e. They’re lots of bad products formulating this product. If it don’t work...it probably a bad brand. (8) Flax seed is the same as linseed oil for pain. (9) Epsom salt for the mineral magnesium, (10) Oil of Wild Oregano for parasite but this also must be of a good quality and all Oregano oil, (11) Oil Pulling, (12) Spirits of turpentine, (13) Magnets, (14) Cabbage plant family, (15) Sea Salt, (16) Ginger root (brings the ph. levels to normal) and Mint Tea, teas are mostly low in acids and brings the body back to alkaline or 7 ph. (17) Black strap Molasses, (18) Turmeric (blood purifier or liver herb), (19) Cayenne for pain and circulation, and the (20) Herb Cat’s Purr, (21) Solomon Seal Polygonatum spp, 22. Yucca Root Saponins, Another Key is to watch the uric acid levels of foods. Stick with chlorophyll foods. and other foods such as;
**Artichoke, Aged-odorless Garlic (allium sativum), and Use certified 80% Silymarin from Milk Thistle a liver herb.These sites are very helpful site to study:http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/osteoarthritis.html/Osteoarthritis pagehttp://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/rheumatoid_arthritis.html

http://www.pinterest.com/ptsherm/
Chamomile tea (teas) and Cherry extract will bring the body back to a normal Ph balance (Uric Acid levels.) Keep away from any soda beverages, because they are too acid.
If you cheat add two tums with the soda i.e. 
Also, Milk and Green foods will bring the body pH balance back to normal levels if not combine with meat, especially pork.
I don't want to over-whelm the arthritis patient with this post. I don't know where my readers are in this afflictions. This gives a complete view and some clues to start but no all at once just try something if it doesn't work try another.
* If the body is too acidty use a good organic milk...remember your beginnings. Too much about not using milk all depend on the milk and the animal it came from.

WEIGHT TEA: YERBA MATE

YERBA MATE (mate, Ilex paraguariensis)is a excellent herb if used correctly.
Yerba mate is a member of the holly family, evident by its leathery leaves. It grows wild in the rain forests of South America, such as Paraguay (where it is cultivated). It was introduced by the native Guarani peoples of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. Just about everyone has felt the jittery side effects of too much caffeine at one time or another. Yerba mate, in contrast, gives your brain a boost without making you nervous. Interestingly, it has been shown to improve mood and concentration, reduce anxiety, prevent mental fatigue, and prolong the effects of thermogenesis (i.e., fat burning)... along with a multitude of other compelling benefits. How it works

There are 196 chemicals in yerba mate that become active in the body once consumed—including B vitamins; Vitamins A, C, and E; and the minerals calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, and selenium. Over 24 Vitamins and Minerals! And mate has 11 polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants. But the most important chemical in mate is "mateine." Mateine is a xanthine alkaloid. You might have heard of other xanthines, such as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. Strikingly, mateine appears to possess the best combination of xanthine properties. Like other xanthines, it mildly arouses the central nervous system, but unlike other stimulants, it doesn't appear to be addicting, nor does it produce unwanted side effects such as insomnia or nervousness. Interestingly, it actually works as a tonic for the central nervous system, calming the body and mind, leaving you feeling alert and sharp.

The result of the chemical combination in mate causes a substantial increase in energy and fat burning. Mate appears to help support long-term energy by maintaining energy production with oxygen for longer periods of time, which burns more calories, improves heart efficiency, and delays buildup of endurance, robbing waste products, such as lactic acid that are created by anaerobic glycolysis (energy production without oxygen). One indicator that it is working to burn more fat is a drop in something called the respiratory quotient (RQ), which indicates a rise in the proportion of fat being oxidized or burned in the body. It's known as a "fat burner" and is many weight formulas.
Suggestions on how to take it:
Research indicates the intake of yerba mate to be most effective at 500 to 1,500 mg daily two to three times evenly throughout the day, before meals and/or exercise. Recent theory: And for some most effective for promoting fat loss if one serving is taken upon rising, first thing in the morning, especially before cardiovascular exercise.

CAUTION: A note more about fat-blockers, science has proven that we need the "right" fats, omega's for better brain functioning. If you begin to get foggy-minded, memory problems, pain in joints, weaker, energy loss, pull back, or stop taking any “fat blockers. ” The fact is, we have too many ADHD people because we’re preparing low fat meals and eating low fat fad diet foods with pre-fab meals. Don’t over due these fat-blocker products and using them too long. These product can destroys health taking out the bad with the good producing another problems that will add on the pounds.(Too much of any product can over take the body's natural defenses.

*STIMUATE HERBAL (NEW DIET PRODUCTS) CAN ABUSE THE ADRENAL, CREATE STESS IN THE BODY followed by WEIGHT GAINS FOLLOWED BY DEPRESSONS. If you experience this...stop.

FAT BURNER?....FORSKOHLII

Coleus forskohlii is an ancient Ayurvedic plant and member of the mint and lavender family. Recent research has shown that the active ingredient in coleus is forskolin, which plays a major role in a variety of important thyroid function, and increasing fat-burning activity. (fat blocker) Though scientists are only just confirming the many benefits of coleus, there's definitly a new "buzz" circulating about its potentials. The problem with the herb is finding a organically grown product. *Careful where you buy from and whom. Some Forskohlii has been noted laced with heavy metals in some coleus products. The price of this herb varies from $8.00 - 100. i.e. and found in many formulas. The root, seed, flower, leaves and/or stem in order of strongnesses of its product. Don't waste good money on stems. There's a lot of Petronia's in the health foods and pharmacy's with this herb.
8- And, make sure it has a least 10-20 percent forskohlii extract.
It's a perfect herb for my; Asthma, eye, congestive heart, obesity and bipolar-depression, all in one herb. The following reasons is why.
Forskolin may act synergistically with epinephrine, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. It is possible that the use of forskolin may decrease the needed dosages of beta-agonists.Forskolin is in the Ayurvedic familly. Mostly grows in India, Burma and Thialand. Mostly used for allergies, respiratory, cardiovascular diseases, glaucoma, hypothroidism and even weight loss (fat blocker.) It's known to increase energy and works with the hormones in the body. (Asthma, Psoriasis, angina,congestive heart failure, obesity, hypertension,depression, glaucoma.) An Indian pharmaceutical co. is engaged in trail for an eye drop product.
Depression is believed to be associated with an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain, serotonin and dopamine primarily. Where there is a shortage of serotonin, the supplements 5-HTP or tryptophan or the SSRI drugs like prozac or Zoloft may be beneficial. If the catecholamine neurotransmitters (epinephrine, norephinephrine) are deficient the amino acids L-Phenylalanine or L-Tyrosine, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors like GeroVital (GH3) or Deprenyl are may be helpful. Recent research has also been evaluating drugs that increase Cyclic AMP as a means of elevating the catecholamines. Since forskolin elevates Cyclic AMP, it may improve neurotransmitter function and thereby
Forskolin appears to exhibit potent immune system enhancement by activating macrophages and lymphocytes.Coleus also increases cerebral blood flow, indicating that it may be beneficial in cerebral vascular insufficiency, and in enhancing post-stroke recovery. The platelet aggregation-inhibiting effects of coleus also adds to its value in cardiovascular disorders.
Because forskolin inhibits platelet aggregation and clotting, it may enhance the effects of anti-clotting medications such as warfarin, clopidogre, aspirin, enoxap.arin, and dalteparin. Known as a Fat Burner, but their are many herbals some are too harsh and need to be studied to see if its the right one for you. Chitosan is fish shells...It is bad news for many to use this product.
This following herbs;

Ma Huang-Ephedria (Wondered why his herb worked on weight...or did it really? These folks are still over-weight. You need to calm-down not speed up the adrenals which causes stress. Stress causes weight gain i.e.
Yata Mate, Bean extract are another ones etc......
What you really need to know is that this herbs goes in a different route then Ma Huang that can over work the adrenal glands Ma Huang eventually makes you wake up tired feeling in the mornings after dosing the previous day with ephedrine - Ma Huang.
"forskolin initiates a similar cascade of chemical reactions as this ephedrine. Where coleus differs from ephedrine is ephedrine stimulates adrenergic receptors (which is the primary mechanism for ephedrine, even though this process is not totally accountable for its fat-burning effects) before it reaches cAMP. Unfortunately, many negative side effects can be experienced when some of these adrenergic receptors are stimulated, such as increased blood pressure, anxiety, etc.
(This is basically why users of ephedrine-based supplements oftentimes experience unwanted and sometimes dangerous side effects.) " To the coleus user's advantage, however, coleus bypasses the adrenergic receptors and goes straight into the cAMP cycle, which is the next step in the ephedrine fat-burning process and subsequently also bypasses all of the potential unwanted, adverse effects associated with ephedrine. It leave a calming effect instead of a adrenia high."
