Ephedrine - A Dangerous Drug?: Re: Re: to those safely using ephedrine/caffeine- any problems?

Hi- I am in Liverpool UK. I am 38 yrs old. I have been bodybuilding for fifteen years. 2 years ago i started to use a product called Ultimate Orange. I bought it in a Gym and was told it was a supplement and safe. After using it i felt amazing- my training improved and i could train for hours after a hard days work. I was not told that it contained Ephedrine- Hell i did not know what ephedrine was. I was a clean bodybuilder- i used nothing.
I felt tired after work and the new supplement was amazing.
My physique was A1 and did people notice!
I soon noticed that i needed more and more and more to get the same effect- it seemed i was getting immune. Then i was finding it hard to sleep.
After six months i stopped using it and i found it was removed from sale.
I carried on training but my health declined very fast. I could only train for half hour and i was drained- not mentally but physically.
Before using the product i never suffered colds or flu- now i was getting colds very often.
I went to hospital- i had a virus in my blood. I was suffering with the Flu for two months while on tablets to boost my immune system.
My training is finished now- i try every so often to make a come back but after fifteen minutes i am so ill and tired i have to stop. My heart rate increases with even mild training, i feel cold all over and i start shaking.
Please be warned- there are people out there who may not give a damn about your health.
Traindontural- dont look at the steroid freaks, they die young or suffer disease.
Train hard and i promise you it will pay off- think of it as a business- if you build it up to quick it is going to crash.
I wish someone told me like i am telling you- then maybe i would still be working out today.
