  • Ephedrine Anyone Used This ? I've Just Bought a Bottle of These Bad Boys & the Wife Has Decided to Google It
    Thread: Ephedrine fingersweaver Apr 26, 2007 08:26:29 PM Subject: Ephedrine Anyone used this ? I've just bought a bottle of these bad boys & the wife has decided to google it . As you can imagine she then read me the riot act about side effects etc etc . Do any of you have any genuine experience of ephedrine ? Cheers , Fingers ;\) Wurzeluk Apr 26, 2007 09:17:26 PM Subject: Ephedrine Yes of course it a staple of bodybuilding fat loss .. But is not without side effects , like Steroids it is illegal to supply without prescription in the Uk but not illegal to posess and use personally .. It is safe to use if you are healthy but can cause serious problems if you have high BP , heart problems or are really obese ( yes its a fat burner but only really suitable for fit people with a Bf of 20% or less ) Side effects vary depending on the individual but include jitterness , edginess , headache , heart palpitations etc .. my advice would be start with a small dose to see how you react and ramp up , if you experiance any unpleasant sides then cut back or stop BTW it is much more effective with CAffeine and Aspirin ie the ECA stack you want about 20-30mg Eph 200 mg Caffeine and 15 mg Aspirin a day for best results .. BUT do not expect miracles if a) your Bf is higher than 20% b) your diet is kak Wurz Deleted User Rank: Newbie Apr 26, 2007 09:35:17 PM Subject: Ephedrine I'm interested in trying ephedrine.

Delbeke Woord Vooraf Na deze pagina volgen nog vele pagina’s. Wanneer u deze allemaal doorleest zal u begrijpen dat ik deze onmogelijk heb kunnen schrijven zonder de hulp en inspiratie van anderen. Op mijn weg tot het bekomen van dit resultaat ben ik immers vele personen tegengekomen die elk op hun eigen manier bijgedragen hebben tot dit werk. De interesse van velen die steeds vroegen hoe het werk vorderde is steeds een stimulans geweest om door te blijven zetten. In eerste instantie wil ik dan ook mijn oprechte excuses aanbieden aan de personen die ik ongetwijfeld vergeet te vermelden in dit dankwoord. Allereerst wil ik mijn promotor, Prof. Dr. F.T. Delbeke hartelijk danken voor de vele mogelijkheden die hij mij geboden heeft de afgelopen jaren. Zonder uw begeleiding was ik nooit in staat geweest tot dit resultaat te komen. Ik hoop dat we onze goede samenwerking van de afgelopen jaren in de toekomst op dezelfde manier kunnen verderzetten. Peter, bureaugenoot gedurende de eerste jaren, bedankt om me op weg te helpen in de vele facetten die een doctoraat omvat. Hartelijk dank ook voor het geduldig beantwoorden van mijn vele vragen.

  • Fastin | Fastin Weight Loss Pill by Hi-Tech
    Lose Weight Fastin™! By: Mark Wright, M.D. Over the past nine years, I have worked with the top researchers, pharmacologists, and physicians from Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals to develop the perfect diet pill. Hi-Tech has introduced several blockbuster weight loss aids such as Lipodrene®®, Stimerex-ES®, and Lipodrene® Xtreme®, to name a few. One thing most people do not know about Hi-Tech, is its direct response business. Over the past ten years, Hi-Tech has had three weight loss sister companies that formulate, market, and sell diet aids directly to the public. “So what?” you may ask. Well, Hi-Tech offers a 100% money-back guarantee to anyone not satisfied. Hi-Tech marketed over 20 diet aids with different ratios of ingredients until Hi-Tech hit pay dirt. Hi-Tech sold direct to over 500,000 consumers and was able to track refund rates and compare them versus re-order rates. Lipodrene®® and Stimerex-ES® were launched by Hi-Tech to retailers as they were the two best products Hi-Tech developed out of the 20 test marketed. No other company has the data, feedback, or technology to create such products. With the evolution of Hi-Tech’s pharmacological research into weight loss compounds, I believe we have created our finest master- piece! As a bariatric (weight loss) physician, I prescribed Fastin™ for decades as a prescription drug to my patients with overwhelming success. When SmithKline Beecham (now known as GlaxoSmithKline) withdrew Fastin from the market, it sent shockwaves through the weight loss industry. Since its exit from the market, Hi-Tech has been doing some exhaustive research and development on a new formula with pharmaceutical fat mobilization and apoptosis agents to create the new and improved Fastin™.

  • Welcome to the Black Market Report on Ephedrine
    BLACK MARKET REPORT on EPHEDRINE (BMRE) Welcome Legally Break Free from Government Bans and $60 Bottles of Fat Burners You want to know where and how to find ephedrine? The Black Market Report on Ephedrine (BMRE) will tell you all about it. With the information inside you can recoup the cost of the report in one month! If you have any questions you can Contact Todd Massey [email protected] and I will answer as soon as possible. Please remember, I do have a regular job and family life so please be patient in waiting for a reply. I originally started investigating all of this information years ago to save money and to learn all I could about weight loss to help myself and my wife. When the government announced the ban on ephedrine a got a little bit mad at their constant meddling in our lives and frankly I thought they were just misinformed about ephedra or were being influenced by "big money". At first I was worried because I actually rely on ephedrine to relieve some of my breathing problems associated with asthma. I thought I was going to be forced to buy some expensive prescription drug. Then after some investigation I realized that the ban on ephedra related only to "weight loss products" or "fat burners". Then I became confused. Didn't the government and media know about the millions of people who take ephedrine products found in Over-the-Counter medications? Of course they had to know. They just chose to ignore it. Why? Well the media loved all the supposed "death related" complications associated with weight loss products.

  • A Discursive Analysis of Men's Online Accounts of Ephedrine Use. Abstract
    1 “It is safe to use if you are healthy”: A discursive analysis of men’s online accounts of ephedrine use. Abstract Ephedrine use in sport is a common practice among men (Magkos & Kavouras, 2004). Less well-understood is men’s use of ephedrine as a slimming aid. Arguably fuelled by the ‘war on obesity’ and the drive for muscularity (Grogan, 2008; 2010) the internet has become awash with claims presenting ephedrine as safe. The use of this psychoactive substance can have acute health implications such as tachycardia, arrhythmias and cardiovascular disease (European Centre for Drugs and Drug Additions, 2013). Given the tension between health risk and ephedrine-induced weight loss, how men justify their use of ephedrine becomes an important question. In particular, we wished to analyse how male users talked to others about ephedrine in discussions linked to an online version of a popular men’s magazine. Because we were particularly interested in how men accounted for their ephedrine use, we used discourse analysis to examine their posts (Potter, 1996). In analysing the data, we noted that a “community of practice” (e.g. Ba, 2001) was constructed online categorising legitimate (and barred) users, emphasising the benefits of ephedrine, and downplaying health-defeating side effects. Our analysis has clear implications for engaging men who use ephedrine in health promotion interventions. Introduction Ephedrine has been used as an asthma treatment since the 1930s, and is most commonly used in decongestants and cold medicines as ephedrine hydrochloride (National Health Service (NHS), 2014). In the cardiovascular system, ephedrine increases heart rate and can 2 lead to a sustained rise in blood pressure.
