Lloyd,
Just to inform you... I looked up hay fever in the Prescription
for Nutrtitional Healing and 90% of the listed items to take
for hay fever he is consuming in your products. Interesting...
It has been a week and so far so good. No allergy problems,
his fatigue has lessoned, and he has much more energy.
He was informed by his Gastro. that his ALT's were above
the 500's due to the allergy medication. We asked the G.P.
if this was safe before he started to take it with his known
liver condition and of course we were told yes!!
So now we have no real starting number, but it will be interesting
to see how much it goes down.

Well, I think the verdict is still out on ephedra. But the consensus seems
to be that it is safe when taken as directed (I have copied
some information on safety guidelines from ephedrafacts.com
and pasted them below). To my knowledge it does not conflict
with any of my products. Make sure your tea has a good label
reporting total milligrams of everything that's in it - all
the different names for ephedra and even caffeine - because
I understand they can have a synergistic effect and increase
the potency.
Industry Recommendation
Serving Limits, Warnings
and Precautions for Taking Ephedra Products
a.. Do not take
more than 25 mg ephedrine alkaloids per serving and not more
than 100 mg per day.
b.. Consult a health care
professional before consuming an Ephedra-containing dietary
supplement if you have heart disease, thyroid disease, diabetes,
high blood pressure, depression or other psychiatric condition,
glaucoma, difficulty in urinating, prostate enlargement, or
seizure disorder, if you are using a monoamine oxidase inhibitor
(MAoI) or any other prescription drug, or you are using an
over-the-counter drug containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine
or phenylpropanolamine (ingredients found in certain allergy,
asthma, cough/cold and weight control products).
c.. Do not use Ephedra
products if you are under the age of 18. Do not use Ephedra
products if you are pregnant or nursing.
d.. Discontinue use and
call a health care professional immediately if you experience
rapid heartbeat, dizziness, severe headache, shortness of
breath, or other similar symptoms.
e.. Exceeding recommended
serving will not improve results and may result in serious
adverse health effects.
That is what is said about ephedra by the medical community.
I have found that many problems exist with numerous drugs
in relation to hep c. Relatively safe things for people can
have serious effects on people with liver disease.
If a product causes the ALT to go to 500, one should not
take it unless death was eminent if they did not.
I am happy things are better.
In good health
Lloyd
