Aug 28, 2004 Update:Although herbal ephedra supplements have been banned, most people can still buy a ephedrine hcl (mini thins). Currently, our price comparison page has ephedrine hcl without guaifenesin -- and no Soc Sec ID hassles and no prescription hassles! This is definitely the best way to go. Also, depending on where you live, you might be able to buy BronkAid or Primatene tablets in your local drug store or supermarket, but they contain guaifenesin. Although I will be reviewing the new ephedra-free weight loss supplements, the fact of the matter is that no other drug or supplement comes close to having the amount of research and proven real world weight loss effectiveness as the ephedrine/caffeine combination. I've heard people say that the ephedra ban is no big deal because you can still buy mini thins (ephedrine hcl), but frankly I doubt it will stay on the market much longer. As I wrote in the beta-3 scandal, BIG money wants cheap OTC thermogenics removed or moved to prescription-only status (see 1, 2, 3) to ensure windfall profits for the upcoming prescription beta-3 thermogenic drugs. Good luck finding a doctor willing to prescribe the 'dangerous' reclassified ephedrine -- especially for an unapproved use like weight loss. In addition to the pharmaceutical cartel, the drug warriors also want to get rid of ephedrine hcl (and even pseudoephedrine cold medicines) because they can be used to make methamphetamine. If you are going to try to stock up, do not go into a store and buy more than one package of ephedrine at a time. Do not bring a bunch of friends with you thinking they can each buy one box. If you try this, they will get your license plate and report you as a possible meth dealer. It is hard to believe that people actually go along with this police state stuff, but they do. Unfortunately, the spirit of Nazi Germany is alive and well. As a Wal-Mart co-manager bragged to the press: "Our associates are willing to do anything to help police and the community." Apparently, this co-manager does not realize that trampling a persons rights for the 'greater good' does nothing more than create a "community" composed of individuals whose rights have been trampled. Of course, his collectivist thinking is the exact opposite of the principles that America once held dear: "...the Bill of Rights does not come from the people and is not subject to change by majorities. It comes from the nature of things. It declares the inalienable rights of man not only against all government but also against the people collectively." -Walter Lippmann
