Webmasters... Add Your Link!
Yup... I've finally gotten around to implementing
a
full-blown link exchange program on Ultimatefatburner. For
those of you who don't know, link exchanging is a great way
to build your site's link popularity. Link popularity is
but one of the many important criteria popular search
engines consider in determining their listing and ranking
algorithms. And it's especially important for attaining a
listing with Google, the world's reigning search engine.
So, yes... let's exchange links...

Cool Supplement eBook for You To Check Out!
I spent a couple of hours this last weekend poring over Will
Brink's superb "Diet Supplements Revealed."
Mr. Brink is a well-known and respected author, researcher,
sports consultant, and trainer whose material has appeared in
many of the top fitness magazines and publications. He's
worked with top professionals and has had a hand in building
many top physiques (he's even available for consulting)...
http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/prolinkz/pl.cgi?wbc
In "Diet Supplements Revealed" he's put
a good chunk of his
formidable knowledge of weight loss and performance
supplements to "digital paper."
Although I've only spent a few hours with Will's ebook,
I
can say this without hesitation...
Diet Supplements Revealed is an impressive publication
indeed! I specifically like how Will uses "real-world"
data
and feedback in conjunction with clinical studies to deliver
"here's what to REALLY expect" conclusions. Personally,
I've always felt this was an important aspect missing from
even the most impartial reviews. I don't know how many times
I've tried products that have some decent scientific data
behind them only to find they did little more than lighten
my wallet.
I'll be posting a follow-up article with more comments,
but
for now, I suggest all readers interested in learning more
about what REALLY works and what doesn't check out Will's
ebook...

HGH - The Fraud Continues?
Feedback to the Xtend-Life article I included in the
last
issue has been so overwhelmingly positive that I posted
another of Warren's great articles to my Web site (this one
documenting the adventures of one person's attempt to get
their money back from a company selling one of these HGH
products). Please enjoy the article... it's a bit of an eye
opener...
http://www.ultimatefatburner.com/prolinkz/pl.cgi?xhgh
Oh yes, and if you haven't done so already, I recommend
you
subscribe the Xtend-life newsletter -- the articles are just
too good to miss (a recent article focused on debunking the
anthrax immunization "hoax" perpetrated on the American
nation in the wake of the horrific 9/11 tragedy -- very
interesting). Sign up here...

Ephedrine... Is The Verdict Finally In?
Ephedrine, as I'm sure you're aware, is a somewhat
controversial stimulant used in many weight loss products
and over-the-counter cough and cold remedies.
For the last year or two, ephedrine has been lambasted
by
experts far and wide, although they have yet to be
successful at getting the compound completely banned. Last
fall, for instance, Health Canada went so far as to restrict
the sale of ephedrine based products to those which
contained a mere 8mg per serving (about 33% of the most
effective 24 mg dose). Question is...
Why did they stop short of an outright ban?
To quote Dennis Miller...
"I don't want to get off on a rant here, but..."
As much as the doctors, fear-mongers and supporters
of the
big pharmaceutical drug companies (for whom effective,
over-the-counter obesity medication represents a serious
loss of revenue) would like there to be real solid evidence
that SMART, controlled use of ephedrine is dangerous, there
doesn't seem to be any.
-----SIDEBAR-----
Obviously ephedrine is, and can be dangerous
when the label instructions are ignored. Rest
assured, this is powerful stuff, and should
be treated with respect. And of course,
people with certain medical conditions (high
blood pressure, heart problems, etc., etc.,)
should avoid it at all costs.
Remember -- certain marketers will derive
their product's ephedrine content from
natural sources. This allows them to use the
powerful "all-natural" slogan in their
advertising efforts. Don't be fooled into
believing all-natural products are totally
innocuous -- any product that contains Ma
Huang, Sida Cordifolia, or Country Mallow
contains ephedrine and MUST be treated with
respect.
-----SIDEBAR-----
There is, however, plenty of evidence to indicate
that
controlled, moderate use of ephedrine is safe, and
effective. Believe it or not, it's actually been shown to
outperform diet drugs like dexaphenfluramine for
effectiveness.

(Source: Breum, L. et al. Comparison of ephedrine/caffeine
combination and dexfenfluramine in the treatment of obesity.
A double-blind multi-center trial in general practice.
International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic
Disorders, 18(2):99-103, 1994.)
--
This is a war of propaganda and rhetoric, no doubt
about
it. When you have doctors like Dr. Laird Birmingham (of
the Eating Disorders Program of St Paul's Hospital in
Vancouver) making statements like this (which are
totally unsubstantiated by any evidence at all)...
"It's addictive, just like speed. People get
used to it,
they may have to steal for it. It ruins there life and it
also changes their behavior."
It's easy to understand so many folks are scared stiff
of ephedrine. Addictive like speed? Yeah right, doc.
Unlike yourself I've used ephedrine on and off for 5 years
(anytime I really want to get "cut"), and I can tell you
absolutely...
"It ain't addictive in the slightest."
Of course, members of Dr. Laird's profession have no qualms
about writing out prescriptions for drugs like Accutane, a
FDA/Health Canada approved acne-drug with some serious
side-effects that include suicidal tendencies. The U.S.
Food And Drug Administration has reports of 83 US deaths and
40 + International deaths from this regulated drug alone.
Duh! Hello! Anybody in there?
The inconsistancies are obvious. Of course, Dr. Laird
and
his compatriots neglect to mention that ephedrine and
ephedrine-derivatives are standard ingredients in most
over-the-counter cough and cold remedies. And correct me if
I'm wrong, but I don't recall ever hearing anybody
suggesting that these products be removed from the shelves.
Nonetheless, ephedrine may finally be vindicated as
the
result of some new and even more conclusive evidence. Yes,
a landmark 6-month double-blind randomized study including
researchers from Harvard, Columbia and Vanderbilt
Universities (and several other esteemed research and medical
centers) found that the caffeine/ephedrine combination is
not only effective as a fatburner, but when taken *properly*
exhibits only minor side effects.
The entire study is published in the prestigious International
Journal of Obesity. You can view the entire study online...
http://www.toxinfo.com/
(Use the link beginning "Long-Term Randomized"
on the main
page. The study results are presented in Adobe's PDF
format. If you don't have it on your machine, use the link
they provide to install for free. If you'd rather download
the document to your own machine, right-click the link and
select "Save Target As". Name the document and click
"save").
Am I surprised by the newest research results?
Not really, although it's always nice to see studies
that
vindicate the initial research results. I've always said
it...
It's not for everyone, but the ephedrine/caffeine
stack
really WORKS!
For your information, I've included links to reviews
of a
few of my favorite ephedrine-based products at
Ultimatefatburner.com. And remember...
If you experience any contra-indicated health difficulties
at all, I recommend you do NOT experiment with an
ephedrine-based product without first consulting your
doctor. I'd also recommend that first time users begin
supplementation with the smallest possible dose to access
their tolerance to this compound. Trust me...
Ephedrine can pack quite a kick!
OK... without any more ranting, here's those links
I
promised. See you next time!...
