Can't help it The next segment on NowTV "OnLine" is talking about ephedra. A guest trainer said it speeds your heart rate, which is true, but then a guest caller told them a horrible story of how she took ephedra for 3 months !!!!, stopped, went on vacation, and "the chemicals messed up my mind, and I had clinical psychosis, they had to commit me to a mental institution!!!"

While ephedra has nothing to do with low-carbing, that was a bold comment on how much research they do for their show. Even the FDA never claimed mental illnesses due to ephedra!

Any way, I called in and was eventually able to connect. Introduced myself and informed them I have some positive comments on the Atkins diet. I was on hold for 30 minutes, but the program ended while I'm still on hold.
Wa'il
