I willing to say that I don't know much about all the conversty surrounding the ECA stack. I have done some research on the subject and found that there is not much different between over the counter cold medicines that contain certain things like pseudoephedrine and regular ephedra. I was just wondering why is cold mecidine like Sudafed, less potientally harmful than the "supposed evil" of ephedrine?
thanx,

oh before the thought is there, I am not considering the idea of taking them, I just don't know what the huge dilemma around the matter is if, the stack is taken appropriately!

There is a big difference in dosage with an ECA stack than with sudafed(unless you popped 7 or 8 of them at the same time). I used the stack, properly, a few years ago when I began to diet down; it gives a good kick. Today, because of the potential long term effects, I stay away. I'm pretty sure, if taken properly, ECA will be LESS HARMFUL. I live in the first county in the US to ban the sale of Ephedrine and ephedrine products, so I have alot of info on the effects it can have on the body thrown in my face. Hope that helps a tad.

Ephedra will help you get results by giving you hardcore energy. But be carefull that you don't abuse it. I had bad experience with it. I had to stop it all together and start over, by getting my energy from foods. Remember your body will eventually become use to it. So if you want to use it, do it in cycles. Good Luck

I found an amount that doesn't make me feel like Cornholio from Beavis & Butthead: less than 1/7th the maximum recommended daily amount. How people OD on this stuff is beyond me.

I lost 20 pounds on the earlier version of Xenadrine but I could not stand how the ephedrine made my stomach feel weird and gave me heartburn. I bulked up a lot this year and when I started dieting I used Lipodrene (with ephedrine). I got the same feelings but not as bad. I used it for 2 weeks to jump start me and then just used my dieting and cardio.
