My understanding from someone who practices whole Chinese herbal medicine is that ALL forms will be banned.
As a matter of fact this includes the whole herbs not just the extracts. I know this because I was sick last summer and doing the herbal medicine thing and ephedra powder (whole) was part of a lot of the componds I was making.
My supplier called me and asked me if I wanted the three pounds that she had left because it was going to be banned so I took it.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to extract the ephedra from the powder. The powder as a whole herb is much less potent than the extracts.
1victor you said "whole herbs not just the extracts", and you are right. But what presser asked about is neither.
Ephedrine HCL is purely synthetic labratory made. And my understanding is that it will remain legal but may be made script only soon. I also think it has a stronger effect over the ephedra herbs.
Pure Ephedrine HCL is an athsma treatment...can't ban that!!people need it.
thats what i thought, or hoped anyhow, yes its a bronchial diolator* for asthma and stacks,lol, as for it becoming a script....what a crock of shit and what a hold the A.M.A has on our government
who knows maybe it wont happen, there are a lot more people taking "ephedra", than know about real ephedrine, if it doesnt wind up on health food store shelves and convenience store shelves maybe it'll just blow over
Hell, I just stocked up on my VASOPRO, which is for my asthma...LOL Not taking any chances on what the govt will force manufacturers and retailers to do, once the law goes into effect.
