When asked about ephedra as a supplement, US Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson rhetorically asked reporters "I wouldnt use it, would you? ... Thompson, I would. In fact, I regularly use nutritional supplements that contain ephedra products. ... I use the supplements responsibly and only after I researched them. I do not need the government to keep me healthy. ... I checked the nutritional information and warning label on that product just a few hours before writing this: the clearly-marked dosage is set at two capsules. ...
Ill tell you why I use it: It improves my personal health. I should not lose the right to use any nutritional supplement simply because someone else has or may abuse that product. ... I have witnessed the impact on health that being overweight has because being overweight runs in my family. ...
After I became slightly overweight myself about seven years ago I made up my mind that I am not going to deal with the same problems others in my family have dealt with if I can prevent it. I subscribed to a fitness magazine and started learning how to take better care of myself.
Today, I follow an intense weightlifting program that I designed. I am careful about what I eat and, yes, I rely on the use of nutritional supplements - including ephredra products - to stay healthy.
