"The time to stop using these products is now," Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson told reporters.

The government has determined that products containing ephedra "present an unreasonable risk of illness or injury," said Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Mark McClellan.

Tuesday's announcement marks the first time U.S. officials have blocked the sale of an over-the-counter nutritional supplement. Unlike drugs, dietary supplements do not have to be proven safe before going on the market, but federal authorities can act to take them off the shelves if they are shown to be unsafe.

The FDA notified 62 companies that market products containing ephedra of the planned ban, and Thompson said he expects manufacturers will file suit to try to block the move.

The FDA also issued a consumer alert warning the public to stop buying and using ephedra immediately. The government will issue a regulation "in a matter of a few weeks" that would make it illegal to sell products containing ephedra within 60 days of that notice, McClellan said.

Yes, That appears to be the case. This may be the reason you can't see this katie. but if you really want to read the article, it is located here: http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/12/30/ephed...edra/index.html

There is a thread/discusion about it in world affaris, also.

Fuck ephedra, it's available so easy through other herbs as ephedrine. If you want it so bad go to ever gas station now and buy it while it's here. It's really a shitty alternative to pure amphetamines.

I'd have to agree, Ephedra isn't very safe. Not something I'd be willing to risk taking. Stick with tried and true amphetamines.

It's already banned in California, Illinois and New York. Nothing new for me being in Cali.
