(https://www.samorini.it/doc1/alt_aut/sz/terry-a-study-of-ephedra-nevadensis.pdf) Which explains why it never worked as well as Sudafed, in my experience. But because of the lack of ephedrine, the DEA determined it was not a plant worth serious concern under The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act. (https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/fed_regs/rules/2008/fr0711.htm) <br /><br />Further, methamphetamine and ephedrine are not synonymous—though the later is used to manufacture the former, they are distinct compounds. The leap from using ephedrine to the approval/use of illicit drugs is apples to oranges. Ephedrine is of recognized medical legitimacy. Herbs, from which much of modern medicines were derived, were listed under the word of wisdom as “to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.” Take that as you will.

It is most commonly used to deal with asthma, cough, bronchitis and nasal congestion. As a weight loss aide however, people have used ephedrine hydrochloride recently. In line with the "Journal of the American Medical Association," ephredra and ephedrine produced only modest short-term weight loss in a overview of studies. There were no long-term studies, and the side effects noted were critical.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://ephedrinediet.org/eca-xtreme-why-you-should-never-buy-this-weight-loss-product/" rel="nofollow">ephedrine dosage</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821208734852385863.post-29515312312392486542009-03-10T20:20:00.000-07:002009-03-10T20:20:00.000-07:00I found your blog in Mormon times, thank you I'm l...I found your blog in Mormon times, thank you I'm loving it. Growing up in Utah, I always thought "Mormon Tea" was made from boiling the mint that grew wild in front of my Grandmother's home in Richfield, Utah. Boy was that bitter. Thanks for the education.

Each July 24 I want to cook authentic recipes for my family, but the best I could find were from an old Nauvoo cookbook of dubious authenticity. I'm going to make donuts very soon. Good luck with that book--I hope it succeeds. <BR/>Trish Strebel MercerTrish Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230057351912923895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821208734852385863.post-76152635172375218892009-02-19T19:33:00.000-08:002009-02-19T19:33:00.000-08:00I remember drinking this as a young Boy Scout in L...I remember drinking this as a young Boy Scout in Las Vegas in the 1960's.
