Not About Ephedra
By Shane Ellison M.Sc. 2004 All Right Reserved Soon, you will find that the Council for Responsible Nutrition supports the proposed banning of ephedra. This fact alone will SWAY MILLIONS of people to begin supporting the ban. After all it is the Council for Responsible Nutrition, right? This is how rhetoric controls the simple minds of MILLIONS. Before I expose the Council for Responsible Nutrition for what it really is, it is imperative that you understand that this is not solely about stopping the ban on EPHEDRA. If the FDA gets away with this ban they will make their way down the hit list. This hit list includes but is not limited to, Kava Kava, St. Johns Wort, Yohimbe, and DHEA. The objective is profit, plain and simple. If you don't believe this then go back to watching football and CNN. The Council for Responsible Nutrition membership includes BAYER, BASF, PFIZER, MONSANTO, and WYETH. These are some of the biggest hitters among the pharmaceutical industry. Naturally, they oppose competition, especially when it is safer and more effective. For example, Wyeth previously dealt the popular diet drug fen-phen. This was a combination of fenfluramine and Phentermine. Since 1997, this appetite suppressant drug has been associated with the development of valvular heart disease.[1] Thus the public demanded that the FDA remove it, and they did. To counter attack, these companies are vigorously studying alternatives. Most prominently, they all seek ephedrine derivatives such as phenylpropanolamine AKA norephedrine. Not surprisingly, they support the proposed banning of EPHEDRA as to secure their abnormally large market (pun intended). This is repetitive, but since most are asleep at the wheel, it is worth repeating. The big hitters don't stop there when it comes to securing a market. They want their share of the natural medicine sales as well. Thus, other members of the Council for Responsible Nutrition are MANNATECH, GNLD, HERBALIFE, and SHAKLEE. This close association to drug companies has corrupted not only their products but also their abilities to fight for natural medicine freedom. Those that are involved with these MLM companies must not fall victim to the ephedra spin by blowing it off as "water under the bridge". Since most companies already gave in to pharmaceutical pressure and political spin, many do not sell ephedra. Thus, they are ignoring the slow degradation of our nutritional rights. Here is the solution. QUIT these pharmaceutical controlled MLM companies and find a company who cares. Learn more here: http://www.alliance-natural-health.org References [1] Barasch A, Safford MM.
