how much did you take biteme (truthfully)
any other aggravating factors? heart problems etc....
and btw why do you say his death is linked to ephedrine...where is the article saying the medical examiner conclusively linked ephedrine to his death

Here is a post which was made on another board. He also had a history of getting heat stroke.
"Hey. OK, this issue really pisses me off. The guy was in the hospital the day before with heat stroke and with a temp of 108. You are almost a goner if you hit 108, but he got lucky. Normally you will be on IV fluids for at least 1 day, after heat stroke, just to make sure you are hydrated. the team however, had him practicing in the hot and humid Florida sun less than 24 hours later. The team fucked up badly and ephedrine is their scapegoat. Was it a good choice for him to take the ephedrine, probably not, did it kill him, I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.
I was talking to my dad the other night about this and I came up with this analogy, it isnt the best but I think it shows the double standard by which ephedrine is judged by.
If I see a bottle that is labeled "POISON DO NOT DRINK," and I ignore the label and drink it and die, it is my fault because it was stated right on the bottle not to drink it. The pitcher had high bp, and it says right on the bottle, "do not take ephedrine if you have high blood pressure, prostate enlargement...," yet he still took it, even though he knew his history of high bp. Whose fault is that? He was clearly told on the bottle not to take it, yet he did, and they are blaming ephedrine . It is judged by a double standard.
He died from multiple organ failure, and I can gurantee it had something to do with his hydration and heat stroke. The team fucked up and they need a scapegoat. That is how I feel about it anyways. Thanks"

I didn't take any more than the recommended dose and for only about a week b4 it fucked me up. Like I said it probably won't adversely affect the majority of people, but for some reason some of us just can't take it. I don't have any history of heart problems and was thoroughly tested. There could be a hidden condition though, you never know.
