Experiences - Ephedra weight-loss/medical values

[Lippmannk1]

Before the government banned this substance in the united states, SWIM was able to procure about 4 bottles of 100 capsules which contained 10 mg ephedra/50 caffeine at his gym. Swim has taken this every morning for the last 5 months and has lost a total of 45 pounds, down from a weight of 250ish. SWIM has dieted in conjunction with the ephedra every morning. SWIM has never seen anything quite like the effects of ephedra with regards to weight-loss. SWIM knows that this stuff is potent and has/can/will cause death if overused. SWIM has a strict limit of no more than 20mg ephedra a day (2 pills spaced out).

Not only has SWIM noticed it's effects as a weight-loss agent, he has seen other positive uses for ephedra. SWIM notices that ephedra has kept away nasal congestion, asthma, and sinus infections which plague SWIM constantly, (especially the asthma). It almost COMPLETELY wipes out the desire to eat, keeps you awake, and quells headaches. When weightlifting at his local gym swim also saw notable increases in endurance. SWIM now takes ephedra as his "morning coffee" to get him going, as he HATES coffee and can't drink it because a) Swim thinks it tastes like burned wood, and b) SWIM is Mormon. Indeed ephedra/ephedrine was the key ingredient in "Mormon coffee", which gives SWIM a laugh. It gives a boost that lasts approx. 6 hours and helps him focus on pre-med schooling. I almost never crash on this stuff.

Unfortunately there are some setbacks. Just like caffeine, it causes mild heart palpitations and some jitters in SWIM. It *sometimes* also makes swim aggressive and agitated.

SWIM studied the various qualities of this substance and understands why it does what it does. (look elsewhere for this information). SWIM understands that it speeds up your metabolism and crushes appetite to a large degree, which causes the weight-loss. SWIM, when he becomes a doctor, is considering prescribing this stuff in small quantities to those who suffer from obesity and other effects listed above. It works, or at the very least it worked for SWIM. Of course, swim will make sure to tell them not to abuse it or they could die. Anyone else out there seen the type of weight-loss I experienced along with the other positive effects? This stuff is POTENT and has some real potential for the medical field that doctors just don't realize.
