Exclamation warning about diet drugs / herbs

My husband just got home from his mother's wedding. He and his younger brother (27) were on their way to the reception when his brother started sweating and passed out in the car. They took him to the hospital and they think he had a seizure.

Turns out he's been taking some kind of diet / weightlifting supplement. My husband doesn't know what kind.

Pretty ironic considering I just got that message about the Ephedra warning and passed it on.

He had been drinking a bit as well.

I just hope he's learned his lesson, and maybe someone else will.
