You should not use with AKG with any products that contain Ephedra since they may act to vasoconstrict your blood vessels and thus reduce the benefit of AKG all together. \n\nDude, I know you may not want to hear this, but Ephedra can be hazardous to anybody's health, not just fat people.  It has caused heart attacks and high blood pressure and has lead to bleeding in the brain in young fit people as well as fat.  \n\nI'm not going to lecture you on it but here's a worthy link for you info:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/ephedra_debate.shtml

Hi Lucky,\n\nI just started taking it today. I am approx 145 pounds at 5'3. When I first took the two pills with breakfast I was feeling kind of fearful because the pills made me loose feeling in my skin. Plus I read some article that chromium could be bad for you. Nevertheless, I still want to experiment. The pills won't take your hunger away completely I think, but it helps you have more control. I must say I had an explosion of energy and had to go work out on my treadmill till I burned 350 calories to get the pill out of my system. I think because I am such a small girl at age 33, I just need to perhaps take less pills. So, I am going to reduce the amount to just one a day. Because I think they are way too strong for me. I just simply could not concentrate after taking them, all I wanted to do was get rid of the strange feeling that overcame me. It sort of felt like I drank 2 cups of coffee and could not sit still, to me that was a bit scary but, I am going to get through it, losing 20 pounds means a lot to me. The directions state you should lose a few pounds after the first week and then, they should start falling off a lot after the first week. Did you lose any weight at all? I will let everyone know my results after my first 10 days. ...then 20 days...and then 30 days to see if this stuff really works...I will eat right, not overly so, and I will exercise to burn atleast 200 calories a day. Let me know how it goes, and if anyone is experiencing the same emotions as I when taking this pill.

I've been wondering for years what would possess people to take Centrum or any other drug store vitamin. If you break them down you will see that they are pure garbage...they contain the lowest amount of nutrients possible and many of them have cardboard fillers in it as well!  Most people don't do their homework on the subject, they think that if the store they trust sells it then it must be good.  I take a supplement that has ginger and black pepper as fillers, which our bodies quickly absorb but because of the marketing method, many say it's a scam.

Generally, they are believed to be safe and have undergone testing to determine their relative safety as a food additive.  \n\nThe Heinz Infant Nutrition Institute (HINI) has a article about them and how they are used in baby foods and how they have been approved by pediatricians and nutritionists, so one would hope that they are safe if we give them to infants!

I was given this drug when I had poison ivy, what are you taking it for???\nI would think it is dangerous for a baby, doesn't your doctor think so???\nI would get off of it as soon as possible if you are pregnant...\nIt is a strong drug...\nThey wouldn't let me have it very long...

Allergies\n\nI have a son who is allergic to everything. He was about 8 months old when I started with Melaleuca. One by one I slowly tested each product. Melaleuca is the one thing I can use on him that works wonders! We use to buy 2-3 different types of laudry detergent because of allergies in my household. Now, it's only Mela Power. Renew Bath Oil and Renew Intensive Skin Therapy are awesome for any skin problems and I swear by that!  \nI know several people who have gotten off of their allergy medicine as well as inhalers after switching to Melaleuca. The first step is to get all of the harsh chemicals/toxins out of your home. Then get on the Daily for Life Pack and saturate with the Provex (1capsule/25 lbs per day for 2 weeks) Provex is a powerful antioxidant and is a natural anti-inflammitory and anti-histamine! It works wonderfully for allergies and asthma without the side effects of prescription medications! \nthat he got infections on his legs. The allergist that I went to put him on heavy cortisone, if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have done it. That did clear him up but then it came back. Here's the great part.... within two weeks of TOTALLY converting our home to Melaleuca products, he was a different child. Attitude, everything. I am convinced that he felt miserable and (acted miserable) because of the allergies. Hallelujah!!!! The other story is about me, I was always allergic to Easter lilies, I have been taking ProvexCV and went in to the local store, saw the lilies and thought to myself, oh great here goes, my head is going to BLOW up. It didn't. I went over and sniffed, and then took in a big sniff and no blow up, and for any doubters, no the store hadn't pulled the centers out of the lilies! Hope these stories help, any questions, contact me at \nCV and I noticed my summer allergies were not as bad as they use to be... so it helped me too...

As lame as it sounds, I have tried a bunch of different ones, and followed directions carefully. The only one that I had lasting and noticeable results was with NV.\n\nTry it, it's just one pill in the morning and one in the afternoon, and within a month, you'll notice a huge difference! I've lost 25lbs with it already! Of course, I have also cut my caloric intake and increase my cardio to 4-5 times a week, but I was working out steadily with the others as well. This one works.

Elidel worked really well for my son and my daughter.  It does take a week or two to see real results though.  Also, be careful about perfumed soap, detergent, febreze sprays, etc., as the scents seem to aggravate eczema.  (at least they seemed to with my kids)

Man this is a cry for attention! You know that they are poison......stop. Go get some counseling. Oh, they are called caster beans.

Hi,\nI've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. Ephedrine diet pills are really dangerous, stay away from them. However, I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php  . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

I don't know the effectiveness of the aforementioned. Some have been around since I was a kid. A good place to start is right in your immediate vicinity. It might not even cost you anything!

Yes, I took it for years and I recommend you stay away from it.  It works but it's addictive and deadly.  It's banned for a reason and the risks largely outweigh the benefits.  Ephedra acts to vasoconstrict your blood vessels and can be hazardous to anybody's health. It has caused heart attacks and high blood pressure and has lead to bleeding in the brain in young fit people and even athletes. \n\nHere's a worthy link for your review:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/ephedra_debate.shtml

I had already advised someone concerning an herbal treatment that worked for me. I may of backed it up with "check w/doctor...sometimes herbs may not be compatible w/certain meds.."  I don't agree that herbs are harmless, there are many harmful herbs out there, and even food herbs can have a bad effect if taken improperly.  With any treatment precautions and education is necessary. I think that is where the problem lies, people feel they are harmless, and thus avoid precautions.

I've taken Seldane a couple of times and it was possibly the most potent antihistamine I've ever had.  My methods for allergy relief now are quite different.  I work as a doctor of chiropractic/clinical kinesiologist in a sports chiropractic clinic.  I use a very specific allergy elimination technique that works great as well as get rid of any inflammation in the nervous system and bugs in your gut to assist with allergies of all types.  If I knew what area you lived in I could possibly advise you on where to go/who to see.  In any case, I can't vouch for other doctors' results but two websites may be of interest/help:  see below.  Allergies are nothing more than your brain's inability to recognize certain substances properly and respond properly.  Acupuncture, kinesiology, nutrition, etc...are all good for relieving allergy symptoms and get to the root of the problem.

I am a personal trainer and research supplements all the time.  I think you'll be hard-pressed to find any success stories from using it by itself.  I know of no one that has had success taking it.  Don't waste your money.

I'm not gonna judge you or tell you "go lose weight by exercising" because everybody wants a quick fix iNCLUDING me. I bought a month supplement of Leptoprin a few months ago, thinking Hey if it costs this much, it's gotta work, right? WRONG. They don't work and I feel dumb for buying them without researching more. It contains caffeine-like stimulants so yes, you do get some extra energy. Should you choose to use that energy at the gym, MAYBE you'll lose some weight. Otherwise don't bother. Also, there's A LOAD of shitty side effects, I got bad headaches, nausea etc but kept taking them because I didn't want  to "waste my money". Pretty dumb right! Hope this helps. I'm currently taking Xenadrine NRG supplements (they cost about 25 bucks for a month long supplement) and so far so good. I've lost about 5 lbs in the week I've been taking them. I'll let you know if they work out!
