i am about to start the trilokin weight loss plan - and would like to
know the dangers and problems involved. is it safe? what are the side
effects? what are the things they don't tell you in the promotional
material? thanks!

Just a note: TriLôkin's weight loss product apparently contains
ephedra.

TriLôkin's web site ( http://www.trilokin.com/ ) contains a link to
the Ephedra Education Council ( http://www.ephedrafacts.com/ ), which
supports use of ephedra.

Here is the U.S. government's current stand on ephedra:

"HHS Acts to Reduce Safety Concerns Associated with Dietary
Supplements Containing Ephedra" (February 28, 2003)
U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/ephedra/factsheet.html

If you contact http://www.strongstores-trilokin.com/site/436129/page/77228
and ask for a suggested guide they e-mail one to you.

TriLokin is replacing the MaHuang based Weight Loss Plus with a new
formula that will still provide a little extra energy and a better
clinically tested "fat burner" and appetite surpressant. It is seen at
http://www.strongstores-trilokin.com/site/436129/product/10104. The
use of the ephedra-based Weight Loss Plus has not caused the issues
other ephedra products have because it uses a way to target the herbs
directly to the place in the body where they belong and so they use
less herb for better results.

Lots of water during the cleanse is important. If you have dibetes or
hypoglycemia, monitoring your blood sugar changes is important if you
use Sugar Binder because normalization drugs will need to be reduced.
Some people have had mild allergic reactions to certain herbs.

### It is always suggested to check with a health professional before
you start a weight loss program. ### This is a good place to get
opinions... but not a health professional's advice.

TriLokin has replaced the Ephedra based Weight Loss Plus with Weight
Loss Plus Ephedra Free. You can see the new ingredient list at
http://www.strongstores-trilokin.com/site/436129/product/10104

It is a safe, effective, doctor-developed weight loss formula,
designed to support your body while it curbs your appetite, boosts
your energy, and helps eliminate fat that gets stored where you don’t
want it! Whole herbs targeted to where they belong in the body… more
effective without the side effects. The appetite suppressant is
clinically proven three times more effective than Ephedra… without the
scare. All the benefits of the original Weight Loss Plus without the
scare.
