Fourth paragraph down
The issue of ephedra is a recent one. The use of ma huang/herba ephedra and ban xia/rhizoma pinelliae in chinese patent medicines is effectively banned in the US. This is because 155 deaths have occurred in the past five years due to the inappropriate use of this herb in products used for weight loss, body building, energy and recreation. Chinese Medicine has safely used ma huang and ban xia for asthma for thousands of years. There is not one adverse incident reported for these herbs when prescribed by licensed healthcare practitioners.
So stupid what do you have too say?
You're just to dumb to realize that a ban on ephedra in "chinese patent medicines" is not the same as "you can't buy it in the US"
Is it covered by healthcare coverage? If it's banned by the FDA do you think it will be allowed in an obamacare plan?
You are so dumb you think americans are going to China to buy something they can buy in the US.
You are so dumb, you think ma huang has been banned.
You are so dumb, you think americans are going to china to get ma huang that isn't covered by their insurance because their insurance won't cover it if they get it in the US
It's obvious that you are so befuddled that you've forgotten what question you're answering, so I'll ask again:
Why are so many americans going to foreign nations for health care?
So far, your answer is "They pay to fly to china out of their own pockets to buy ma huang with money out of their own pockets because their insurance won't pay for it if they buy it in the US where it hasn't been banned"
