I'm a 20-yr-old college student attending Western Washington U. I had a stroke on Jan. 13 of 2002. The team of doctors at Harborview Hospital in Seattle ran tests to figure out what caused the stroke. Their conclusion was that it was due to the ephedra in Ripped Fuel.

The stroke affected the left side of my body. I had to take a medical hardship withdrawl from college. Now I am in rehab reteaching my left side the most basic things such as walking. I can't really do the thing that I once enjoyed.
