Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 In case you didn't hear this one, the ASNY has released something about how it's banned in Suffolk Co. but licensed herbalists can still use it: http://www.asny.org/landl3903.asp And there was an article by 4 PhD's exercise physiologists suggesting it was simply heat stroke- on Baylor's site: http://www3.baylor.edu/HHPR/ESNL/EphedraStatement.htm Last week I got another response to the Ephedra press release I put out (that there is a group trained and licensed to prescribe it safely) http://pulsemed.org/ephedradanger.htm The health editor from Glamour called asking what I thought the next big herbal problem would be- according to what we know, which herb might people abuse next? I gave her some responses, but I'm wondering if I missed anything. I know, it's tough to anticipate the exploits of greed and ignorance, but... Any ideas?
