I guess something I said pushed a button and set you off on some sort of ranting tangent!
I didn't realize my heartbeat was irregular until I happened to have a dr. appt for some other reason. I was't abusing the herb. I was taking half the daily suggested dosage. I wasn't, as you said, "intent on harming myself" - I was taking a nutritional supplement that I thought would be beneficial to me. The dr. was ready to send me for cardiac testing. I discontinued the use of ephedra and the problem went away.
Obviously I have a sensitivity to the herb and shouldn't take it. I haven't taken it since nor will I.
My point being that I was unaware of the potentially serious problem.
