Cytodyne Technologies, maker of the dietary supplement Xenadrine, faces lawsuits from eight California counties and one city, who accuse the company of false and misleading advertising that does not mention possible health risks associated with ephedra. The counties are seeking restitution for California customers and civil penalities.
“There is a known association between ephedra products and very serious health problems,” San Francisco Deputy District Attorney Michael Hudson said. “People don’t realize that just because it’s natural, that doesn’t make it safe. Tobacco is natural.”
The company defended Xenadrine and said prosecutors are trying to take advantage of publicity surrounding ephedra.
“Cytodyne Technologies confidently stands behind the efficacy of its products and the truthfulness of our advertising claims,” company chief executive Bob Chinery said in statement. “It’s not a coincidence that at this time the prosecutors have decided to file these allegations, given the current sensationalized climate surrounding ephedra.”
On Feb. 28, the Food and Drug Administration proposed a warning label for all ephedra-containing dietary supplements. The proposed label warns about the risks of serious adverse events, including heart attack, seizure, stroke, and death; cautions that the risk can increase with the dose, with strenuous exercise, and with other stimulants such as caffeine.

Is there a current lawsuit in Alabama for the use of Xenadrine, and if so, how does one get in on the lawsuit if they have used this product for several years?
I took ephedra products for two years and it caused me to have an irregular heartbeat, which I had to go to the emergency room for. Is there a lawsuit in Oklahoma for dissatisfied customers like myself?
people have to realize that there is a small portion of problems with ephedra than the people that benifeted from it. doctors perscibe drugs all the time and they kill people so they say its only for certain people so why cant the companies just say that you use at your own risk.
I just today purchased Xenadrine and then my husband told me about some lawsuit. I see the one in March is related to ephedrine, and this formula doesn’t have ephedrine or ephedrine lelated ingredients. Should I return the bottle or try it out? We took Hydroxycut before w/out problems. Any tips?
i was taking xenadrine for 3months
i ended up in the hospital with heart
problems i had no blocked arteries
but my heart was severly damaged
and they had to inplant a defiberillator
do you kno of any such problems and lawsuits pending
i started a lawsuit against the makers
of xenadrine my heart was damaged
does anyone know how long a class action lawsuits take
I think the people who are trying to sue this company for makeing an excellent product are sick. I would be worried about the heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes that is rampant in this country. The legal system is not the lotto. Attorneys are pond scum to be reviled not revered. Now as America becomes even fatter, we will only have ourselves to blame. People get a life. Get off your asses and workout. Stop worrying about the legal lotto.
I too have been hopitalized twice from taking xenadrine and am currently taking heart medication for the rest of my life. Is there any lawsuits in the state of NC for myself?
i have been taking hydroxy cut and am now experiencing heart pains like angina..not heart burn, with an irregular heart beat..had taken mau haung before & ephedra
I read the bottle and watched for symptoms..had none and lost weight…stacker 3 made me wired to the point that i didnt want to take it anymore. Xenadrine had a warning label not to exceed dosage and I had NO problems.
I took Xenadrine EFX for a couple of months and ended up in the emergency room with a very high blood pressure and my heart was racing. My doctor told me it was because of Xenadrine. Do you know of any cases against this kind of Xenadrine? I think I should at least be able to get back the money paid to the hospital as I had to stay in the hospital all day for them to make sure I did not have a heart attack. I am also on blood pressure medicine now because of this and have never had problems with blood pressure before. I am from Iowa
I am wondering about a case in Charleston, SC. I took a lot of these OTC uppers. “Up your gas” “Ripped Fuel” “Hydroxycut” “Super 2-way mini-actions” and umm “Mini-Thins” I am in the process of gathering info from various sources, if anyone wants to assist, I will share info, just e-mail me, at matthew _ latta @ yahoo . com take out all the spaces. C-ya
I was sent to a workers comp doctor the
other day.
I kept failing the breathing test.
They gave me Ephedrine nosel spray.
I was watching the monitor i was hooked
up to.
My heartbeat jumped to 90.
Has anyone else out their ever had this
happen to them?
Contact me if it has.
I live in S.C.

Last year, I had been taking Xenadrine for 3-4 days and was taken to the hospital and kept for 4 days. The first night and the majority of the second day, I was in ICU. My kidneys almost failed and had I been even hours later getting to the hospital, I would probably not be posting this message right now. I strongly believe that this product should NOT be used, no matter what success stories may be out there. Yes I did lose weight because of Xenadrine, only because of being hospitalized. But the thing is, I almost lost my life as well.
I just ordered Xenadrine the one that does not contain ephedrine. I just wanted to know is it safe?
I use to take ripped fuel, and metabolife and I never had any problems with these, when I decited to take xenadrine, after 2 days taking the recommended dosage I almost had a heart attack and had to be rushed to the hospital, ever since I went to the hospital I had to stop drinking caffenie cause my heart will race to the point where I almost pass out! I am afraid it has done damage to my heart! I would recommend that NOONE take this diet pill… I took the ephedra free. and still had problems!
my sister-in-law just experienced a series of strokes after taking the epherine free xenadrine. Shes thrity three and has two children under five. this is not a safe product.the ingredient bitter orange is a similar stimulant and wedMD warnes against this product. see the article at http://my.webmd.com/content/Article/59/66803.htm
I took Ripped Fuel for about a month, following the dosage recommended on the back label. I was rushed to the hospital, my heart was pulpitating, I was dizzy and weak, I thought I was going to die.
Now I can’t take antihistamines or sometimes even coffee. I live in Toronto Ontario, if anyone knows of a lawsuite in this area please let me know.
I took probably almost every kind of ephedrine prodct out there, now six months after stopping after taking it for two years, I have to take six pills a day for the rest of my life to make sure I don’t have a heart attack. I am only 22 and now I have high blood pressure and constantly at the verge of dying everyday , doctors say because of the ephedrine. If anyone knows of any lawsuit I can participate in, in California please email me.
tscgloudey@netzero.net
Ps now that it is banned in California, there are still places that sell the ephendrine, the ban doesn’t really work.
I am totally sick of everyone jumping on the bandwagon. I have taken Xenadrin and other ephedra-based products since they came out several years ago, and I have had no side effects – in fact I have had my blood pressure checked and it was only occasionally slightly over normal. The fact is the Rand Corporation has done, recently, a review of 50 studies about ephedra consumption and only found a handful of people who had symtoms directly related to taking ephedra, and those who had bona fide adverse reactions had preceeding health problems. For those of you who say that you did not have any health problems prior to taking the ephedra products most likely did not know you had health problems. Furthermore, I wonder how many of you took half the recommended dosage (as is clearly instructed on the label) the first few weeks of use or were you so anxious to use the product that you figured it didn’t matter. Lastly, I am sure that many of you did not consult a physician prior to using ephedra to see if you had any preceeding medical conditions.
I too have taken ephedrine products for two to four yrs. I have taken thermodrene, yellow jackets, yellow swarmers and a few others. I felt fine and had no side affects. I’d say in the last six months, I have had irregular heart palpitations. At first occasionally and in the last two months, more frequent. I then noticed that I was having difficulty remember things – example – I am a big history buff and now when I read, I can’t recall dates and names, etc. I also have a problem with nervousness. I get extremely nervous over everyday things, I have a problem with being VERY over nervous around people which in result has led to a very isolated life and a one income family of six trying to make ends meet because it is so bad I have a problem being around people. I am also unhappy and depressed and very irritable A LOT of the time. At first when it was only every so often, that the palpitations would occur, I ignored it. I had the energy I wanted and actually believed I could not and would not have energy after stopping. I have been reading up on ephedrine and am now terrified with all of the side affects I have read about. So much so that I will not take anything to give me energy EVER again, besides coffee (and at that not over doing it) The benefits do not out wiegh the fear. I sit here and worry and hope that it will be ok and the palpitations stop. But I read about it causing palpitations that led to death and permanent heart damage. Of course, as I said, we are a one income family TRYING to make ends meet, so I don’t have money to go to a doctor. Has anyone else had these problems and if so, did they cause permanent damage or temporary? Please e-mail me at pattybhunter@yahoo.com
Does you idiots not know you are not supposed to take diet pills for a couple of years. Follow the instructions and you will have no problems. If anything the companies should sue you for not following the instructions. If any of you win it will be the end of sanity within our court system forever. These cases are like the McDonald-coffee cases. Get a life, exercise, and eat right without diet pills and you will e just fine.
In 1998 I purchased and used as directed a product called “Thermobolics 2000″. After only 36 days of using this product, I began to have heart-pulpitations, sweating, anxiety and nervouseness. I discontinued the product immediately after noticing the side-effects, but it appears the damage was permanent. I battled anxiety and heart irregularity for 2 years before my personal physician found the right mix of heart medication and anti-anxiety medication to gain back my health the way it use to be! I will regret taking any weight-loss product for the rest of my life! Attempts to find out what was in this product proved unsuccessful as I was stone-walled by customer relation folks within the company. To this day my life will never be the same again. If anybody knows of a good law firm who will take on a case such as this, you may contact me. My advice to anyone, please do more healthy things to lose weight such as diet and exercise then looking for that miracle pill that simply isn’t out there!
Regretably,
David (Southern California)
I just started taking Stackers 3 about a month ago, and I seem to have lost some weight. I do wake up with heart palpitations now and then but eating too much sweet shit is what always causes that for me, I disbelieve it has to do with the Stackers, because if my sweet tooth gets bad and I munch too much chocolate or something, then I get extremely drowsy and have to nap, and this was around before I started on the Stackers, so I believe they may be two separate things: that the palpitations are caused by too much consumption of refined sugar.
In 1196 I used Mini Thins to lose about 65 pounds. I wanted to stop losing weight at 115lbs and could not. Shortly after I discontinued using it I became prgnant. It was then that I learned that I had a heart murmur. Eight years later I am overweight again and recently bought Hydroxy Cut. I learned from experience though that the pills will make you feel like you don’t need to eat. Eat anyway because your body will began to feed off of it’s own organs. Also don’t take the total recommended amount. If I had a better metabolism though I wouldn’t take them at all.
Sincerely,
Dying to be thin
i am an addict i have been addicted to ephedre products,mainly mini thins,for over 4 years,and have not been able to kick this habit even though i am aware of the health affects and am already showing signs of damage to my heart and personality i am only 20 and i have already had a palap removed from my large intestin i have bad social anxsity i am not myself any more im not trying to sew any body i know that i am to blame but has any body found any addiction to these also i have to say i realy cant picture living with out them but i know i wont live long with them
I too have taken Metabolite for 4 years and tried Maxadrine, ( a substitute for exenidrene). The Metabolite, I did not experience a noticible problem at the time. But with the Maxadrene which has caffine, I have all the sudden had high blood pressure, (189/79), along with anxiety attacks, feeling like I’m having a stroke or heart attack. I also have all the pain, discomfort, insomnia, and feeling like I am going to die. If you ask me if loosing 20 pounds was worth these tormented, aganizing & sleepless nights feeling like you are going to die. Well I would beg to differ. I have 3 children and I would like to be around for them for a long time, I mean I’m only 35 years old to feel this way. You will need to see your doctor if you start experiencing anxiety after taking emphedra based products. Also the mixture of caffine, makes it a deadly combo. The doctor advises me I will need to take some med’s to calm me down to bring down my rapid heart beat, which I hope will work. Be here to stick around for your family, because I sure do!
i took xenadrine for 1 week then switched to hydroxycut for one month. i took the recommended dosage of 4 pills 3 times daily right from the start. i discontinued use after 1 month because of severe sharp pains in my liver area. followed by chest pains like an elephant on my chest. now i get sharp shooting pains to the heart. i was diagnosed with mvp. i am scared of my future now, i am only 21. i plan on suing these companys for every penny of damage that has been done. they should face severe penaltys for destroying the lives of so many. i also suffer with anxiety, loss of breath, heart palpitations and i have really abnormal sleep disturbances. example: waking up choking and night terrors where i wake up screaming. if anyone knows of a lawsuit against ephedra products in louisiana please contact me. has anyone else suffered from these sleep symptoms?
I’ve taken Xenadrine EFX when it came out…I found this product to have been the best product out there for weight loss..I had so much energy, my appetite had decreased as well as sweet cravings, I felt more alert, vibrant..I followed exactly what the recommended dosage said to take. But, I made sure I wasn’t drinking coffee, nor soda or diet soda, wasn’t drinking and I don’t smoke..I stopped eating junk food, cut down on fatty stuff…and I FELT GREAT. I lost 50lbs…and now..now that a bunch of whimpy overweight people who don’t get off their asses to begin with to exercise, think a magic pill will reverse the damage they did to themselves, continue eating the way they were while taking the pill now claim it’s the pill that gave them heart attacks, or heart palpatations..hello, you’re suppose to exercise while taking this stuff..your heart is suppose to be pumping, to give you energy, to make you sweat…it won’t work if you take it and sit on your fat ass…because of a few bad apples, they had to stop a great product..I’ve tried a few…Trimspa, PatentLean, Hydroxycut, Thermogen, Xenadrine EFX, Metabolife, Lipodrene..I’ve tried them..and nothing, and I mean nothing made feel the way I did as Xenadrine RFX did..whatever is in this product is the best combo ever around..and that is that!
It seems to me, that being overweight is far more dangerous than taking Ephedrine. I lost a lot of weight off of Ephdra based products in the past. I think that anybody who has problems, either had the problems before, or they are not taking the recommended amount, and are trying to get “high” off of these supplements. Because of you morons, the rest of us have to suffer, because now they are taking these off the market. “Thanks a lot morons”
All of you who claim that ephedra products like Xenadrine are safe need to do some research and review case studys before making any uneducated comments. Ephedra is dangerous, it can cause the blood pressure to sky rocket, even in perfectly heathy people with normal blood pressure. The sudden extreme increase in blood pressure then causes a stroke. Ephedra can also cause damage to the heart valves. It causes too much stress on a healthy heart and bring on a heart attack. Cases of heart attack, stroke, panic attacks, seizures and even death have occured in healthy people even when used in SMALL DOSES! I am a Cardiology Nurse at Mass. General Hospital. No matter how healthy you are, if you take ephedra it is like playing Russian Roulet. Why risk your life to lose a few pounds? The only safe and effective way to lose weight is to eat healthy and get plenty of excercise. There is NO MAGIC PILL when it comes to weight loss.
My mother age 56 has taken the Xenadrine ephedra free formula for about 8 weeks and says she feels great and has lost about 18 lbs (She’s about 20 lbs. from her goal). She has been checked by her general practicioner several times and says all is well,
ie, heartbeat, pressure etc… I on the other hand have about 120 lbs. to get rid of and am wanting to also take the ephedra free formula (and exercise of course), however was wondering if anyone besides the two postings have had any adverse reactions to the Xenadrine Ephedra free formula?
i hear that there are several lawsuits against these productsi took liquid thin for years and my blood pressure was sky high my nerves were shot and my left side stays numb all the time
AFTER 4 MONTHS OF TAKING PROLAB 2000 WITH EPHADRA IN IT , I WAS HIT WITH MANY SIDE AFFECTS ONCE I QUIT USING IT ABOUT A WEEK LATER THAT LASTED 7 MONTHS. MANT TRIPS TO THE HOSPITAL WITH FAINT FEELINGS AND NUMB HANDS. ONCE THAT WENT AWAY I WAS HAVING SLEEPING PROBLEMS BUT THE WORST WAS I WAS ALWAYS DIZZY FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. NOW 3 YEARS LATER IM USING XENADRINE EFX (EPHEDRINE FREE) FOR 6 MONTHS NOW AND NO PROBLEMS BUT NOW THAT IVE REACHED MY GOAL WITH EXERCISE!! I WANT TO STOP TAKING IT BUT IM SCARED TO DEATH OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAD ANY SIDE AFFECTS AFTER QUITTING XENADRINE EFX OTHER THAN FEELING TIRED???
Has anyone ever thought about suing or complaining about GNC? I’m 22 right now, but when I was 13 years old, the salesman (gnc sales clerks work off commission), sold me ripped fuel. I went three bottles of it, before I noticed tremors in my stomach. After I stopped using it, I watched a special about how people died from using it.
Anyways, I feel lucky that I stopped using it when I did, but I still feel that the GNC people are untrustworthy.
You people have got to be the biggest group of idiots ever. How many of you were fat slobs with stressed hearts and high BP before using ephedra? How many abused the hell out of it looking for quick weight loss? Your probably the same idiots that eat at McDonalds 3 times a day. What a bunch of stupid morons. Try exercise and proper diets instead of eating sugar garbage and sitting on your fat asses all day.
I’ve taken these products on and off for years. Never had too many problems. I realized the potential for problems *before* taking them. It’s my own responsibility and fault if something happens. There are warning labels on the bottles.
I have been using ephedra for years and have not had any negative side effects. I was aware of the warnings and possible side effects before I started using the products-it is listed on the bottle. I cannot believe how many people run out to buy the newest weight loss supplement and then get upset because it dosen’t work. Everyone wants to eat everything they want while sitting on their rearends and hope that these pills will work. Then they get upset because they didn’t lose the twenty pounds in two days. Diet and exercise are still the key. Maybe if everyone spent as much time exercising and planning meals as they do on researching how to sue ephedra manufactures, and others like them, they wouldn’t be so fat. It is pathetic how many people want to blame these companies for their health issues. Did you not know that being fat was putting pressure on your heart. High blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, these are all POSSIBLE side effects of ephedra, yes, but they are INEVIDABLE with obesity . It is your fault that you are fat. It is your fault that you do not read bottles completely before purchasing/using them. It is about time people start taking resposibility for themselves. It is not the fast food industries fault that you overeat their value meals everyday; it is not the weight loss supplement companies fault that your weight has caused high blood pressure, heart attacks, etc.; it is not the sales clerks fault that they sold you products that you came in looking for. You are to blame for letting your weight get so out of control. Take responsibility.
I think the best thing for you stinking, fat, overweight, worthless, piece of crap, lazy, waste of space slobs to do is shut the hell up with all your BS and start moving your fat asses. I get so sick of seeing stupid out of shape idiots crying about being fat. It took you years to become a fat slob. Why shouldnt it take years to trim down? You fat people make me sick with your quick fix drugs, surgeries, etc. Then when things dont go right, its about who can you sue. Its your fault you have high BP, bad heart, bone spurs, whatever because you are stressing your body with your huge bulk. Maybe you should live in the ocean with the rest of the whales. You people are not even human. You are freaks.
I have used Metolife with ephedra on and off for years I am an adult who can legally go buy cigarettes ( I don’t smoke) abnd I can legally buy liquor. Both are very much worse for your body not to mention others around you. Why then am I not able to make an informed choice on a diet product.
I’ve been taking Stacker 2 ephedra free for only 5 days or so and I have already had disturbing side effects. I have heaviness in my chest, severely trembling hands, insomnia, blurry vision and dreams that were more like hallucinations. And I’m not even taking the ephedra version. However, I have lost weight and have absolutely no appetite while taking this drug, which is the only reason I will continue to take this if I still do. I am going to talk to my doctor tomorrow and discuss the risks to my health. To the people who are 100% in support of ephedra products and are calling victims of these drugs “lazy fat-asses” need to shut their mouths. Anyone who has had adverse reactions to ephedra has every right to be compensated for their suffering. The people with postings full of name calling and fat jokes should take a look at the evidence- these drugs are not evaluated by the FDA and there is not enough empirical evidence and studies for anyone to be completely certain this drug is safe. Everyone buying these products are taking a risk. Some name-callers and know-it-alls who post need to think before they speak.
I am most upset that they stopped selling dietary aids containing ephedra. I have used Stacker 2 off and on over the past 2 years, strictly following a good diet with exercise. I also followed the directions on the bottle about the dialy consumtion of these pills. I am as healthy as can be, I lost all the weight I needed to and I am fine. However, because of some stupid people out there who think they can have 2-3 pills, 4x a day or whatever they were taking would be a quick fix to not even their weight problems. They took it for a quick fix on energy! Now becuase of their stupidity, something that actually worked (if followed properly) is no longer. Thanks alot!
I really want to try Xenadrine . So , anyone who likes it , contact me .
Hey, I have an idea. Why dont all you stinking, stupid, lazy fat slobs, eat healthy and exercise. Who says you need a pill to get in shape. Try less TV and fast food. Try more exercise. You people are idiots. Everything is someone else’s fault. You are the one that ate garbage loaded with sugar and refuse to exercise so you get what you asked for. Fat stinking slobs like you should quit complaining and start living healthy. If not, then shut the hell up and have a heart attack already. Regards, Mr. Fitness.
I agree with Mr. Fitness. Fat people are lazy and want the easy way out. Noe they want us to pay for their surgery and rugs to lose weight. So, let me get this straight. You eat junk food, smoke, drink, don’t exercise your whole life and become a human pig. You then expect the governemt (taxpayers) to pay for your surgery and drugs to correct the problems you caused. Scum like you are a burden on the rest of us who choose to take care of ourselves. You get no sympathy from me. Go have another twinkie and think about it.
I took “Extra Strenght Guarana” which had ephedra in it for about a year in high school to stay awake. After that I started taking “Up Your Gas”. I was on it for four years and I worked up to taking FIVE every morning for the last two years (started with two a day – which was the maximum dosage a day).
I eventually kicked the habit – I took the drugs because I couldn’t stay awake because I work at a computer all day. However, now I notice that I do have some heart problems and irregular heart beat at times. Sometimes after working out or even just walking I will get a rapid heartbeat, a long pause, and then it will return to normal but it happens even during regular activity as well. My heart “feels” weak.
This stuff WILL cause damage to you if it’s taken for a long period of time, there’s no mistake about that. Obviously there was no research done to see what overdosing effects there would be. But my blood pressure is fine most of the time and I don’t have any other problems. Anytime you overdose on ANYTHING you will get problems. If you don’t follow the directions, you cannot expect to get reimbursed for your mistakes.
I am 21 years old and About 1 year ago I took Xenadrine EFX for about 6 months and had no problems with it. I do heavy circuit training 3 times a week with interval training 3 times a week. I also eat a healthy diet. I stopped taking it though. last week i wanted to start taking it again to help me lose a few extra pounds and i only took one pill then when i went for a run with my dog i noticed that i had pressure in my chest. So i never took anymore after that. I figure that it is not worth the risk.
First of all not everyone who takes diet pills are fat slobs. I took Metabolife 356 for energy and to lose a few lbs but am far from fat. And to those of you who are having withdrawals from your precious drugs, put yourself in the shoes of someone who has been damaged PERMANENTLY by Ephedra. Metabolife 356 to be precise.
I am 26 years old and am about to have my first pacemaker implanted after two unsuccessful ablations to reverse the damage done by this NATURAL drug. Taken as directed with diet and exercise. I truly wish that one of the self righteous of this website could experience the pain of those who were unfortunate enough to have our hearts damaged. It is only by chance not choice that some of us have been damaged and others have not. Perhaps these people are not open minded enough to realize that the damage to themselves may not have shown up in them yet. Also I hope that one of you has the opportunity to be passed out on the floor while your small children observe. Better yet maybe you would like to wake up on an operationg table with your electrophysiologist screaming at you to not move because if you do it will puncture a hole in your heart all the while there are wires with radiofrequency heat running through your arteries. Or perhaps you would like to have your drivers license revoked because you may black out while driving. I am amused that after all of the warnings put out by the FDA, Dr’s, and actual ephedra use survivors(yes, some of us did die from this crap)that you still can put your faith in something that has hurt so many. Me, I thank god everyday that I have with my kids and husband and I too think they should pay and pay alot. And meanwhile here is a little food for thought for those of you who are still faithful to the diet drug industry “STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS”. There are time limits being put on all of these injuries and the products that caused them. So those of you who are smart, sue now so that you will have the money to pay your medical bills when your heart fails because your own insurance isn’t going to…..
Could someone tell me where Mini Thins are sold? I have tried finding them on the internet to investigate what problems people have had taking them. Thanks.
People, they sell caffeine pills, we have cigarettes, we have alcohol..all these things that because are “legal” or lets say, money makers can do the same damage as ephedra,please..excuses, the reason why none of these products are off the market is because they bring in money, hell, people are suing the tobacco companies yet we still buy cigarettes, even after these companies ADMIT that they cause CANCER, CANCER, not heart palpitations, but CANCER…isn’t it our freedom of choice to choose what we do with our bodies, isn’t it better to feel fit then to be obese..doesn’t it cause more money to deal with obese people than someone who takes a few pills to give them energy and decrease their appetite to stay fit..unfortunately, there are folks that diet and exercise alone doesn’t help, they do need a boost…but I guess we can drink coffee and take caffeine for that boost without any problems of having it be removed from the market because these products are exceptable, heck backed by the government. One baseball player’s mother had to start the domino effect…this player didn’t work out prior to baseball season, was not in shape, expected to have Xenadrine RFX help him get back into shape before baseball season, within a few months..please..how unrealistic is that..and yet because the mother suied and got involved and made a big commotion, it was taken off the market..hasn’t alcohol and cigarettes caused just a much if not more hazardous conditions to one’s health? of course, but again, it’s all about money..just think, decline in cigs and alcohol, wow, how many jobs lost, the economy would get disrupted..it’s all an oxymoron if you ask me…
Again, with any drug, if one abuses the directions of course it can lead to dangerous consequences..but its a person’s own choice and no one else..so why should everyone else pay the price for a few that had problems..NO ONE IS CREATED EQUAL..if you see that you were having problems, you stop, end of story, not make a big stink out of it..pity..just a shame that’s all..and, to this day, I still can’t find something that worked as well as that product did, there isn’t anything with the same ingredients, minus the ephedra, out there..again, such a pity..what the FDA could have done is take this product under their wing and monitor it, have it become a prescription by a doctor, supervised by a physcian…maybe that was truly the DIET PILL everyone has been dying to find and we let it slip away…pity, such a pity…
