In reply to Can you convince teen daughter NOT to take EPHEDRA, posted by heaven help me on May 27, 2006, at 16:00:17
Often drug related messages are couched in moralistic or alarmist messages that are not believable.
Research suggests that ephedra is 20 more dangerous than amphetamines. Research also suggests that ibuprofen, aspirin & tylenol is many, many times more dangerous than ephedra.
It's hard to suggest that you explain to your daughter that she would be safer taking amphetamine than ephedra!
> I may be in the wrong place for this, so sorry....but my daughter is leaving for New Zealand for a 2 month mission trip and they have energy drinks over there with Ephedra in them. She thinks they are cool and plans to drink them. I want to convince her otherwise. Can you help?
