Here I thought I had just about seen it all on this particular evening but the night absolutely peaked when EDGAR CAYCE hit the stage. Featuring guitar phenom Dave DiPietro, the band kicked right into high gear with two VAN HALEN covers, “Hot For Teacher” and “I’m The One” before inviting up Russell Arcara for an extraordinary rendition of RUSH’s “Red Barchetta.” It was a very impressive performance and I liked the fact that they went for songs that were not only very difficult to play but also not covered that often… but the best was yet to come. Tony Harnell then joined the band for two equally unique covers of AUDIOSLAVE’s “Cochise” and ALICE IN CHAINS’ “Man In The Box.” Harnell’s vocals excelled to absolute perfection as he was able to not only showcase his range but his versatility as an artist as well. But it STILL wasn’t over!!! Mark Tornillo finally joined the band opening with, in his own words, a very “appropriate” version of “When The Levee Breaks” which was made popular by LED ZEPPELIN in the early 70’s before the band took their final bows with AC/DC’s “Have A Drink On Me” and GUNS N’ ROSES’ “Welcome To The Jungle.”

FDA Warns Consumers to Stop Using Hydroxycut Weight-Loss Products

FDA Warns Consumers to Stop Using Hydroxycut Weight-Loss Products
Dietary supplements linked to one death; risk of liver injury



another one bites the dust




May 1, 2009
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to immediately stop using Hydroxycut products after learning of a number of serious liver injuries. Iovate Health Sciences, the manufacturer, has agreed to recall Hydroxycut products from the market.

The FDA has received 23 reports of serious health problems ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of potential liver injury, to liver damage requiring liver transplant. One death due to liver failure has been reported to the FDA. Other health problems reported include seizures; cardiovascular disorders; and rhabdomyolysis, a type of muscle damage that can lead to other serious health problems such as kidney failure.

Liver injury, although rare, was reported by patients at the doses of Hydroxycut recommended on the bottle. Symptoms of liver injury include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) and brown urine. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, light-colored stools, excessive fatigue, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching, and loss of appetite.

“The FDA urges consumers to discontinue use of Hydroxycut products in order to avoid any undue risk. Adverse events are rare, but exist. Consumers should consult a physician or other health care professional if they are experiencing symptoms possibly associated with these products,” said Linda Katz, M.D., interim chief medical officer of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

Hydroxycut products are dietary supplements that are marketed for weight-loss, as fat burners, as energy-enhancers, as low carb diet aids, and for water loss under the Iovate and MuscleTech brand names. The list of products being recalled by Iovate currently includes:

• Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets
• Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets
• Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Caplets
• Hydroxycut Max Liquid Caplets
• Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)
• Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Liquid Shots
• Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)
• Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed
• Hydroxycut 24
• Hydroxycut Carb Control
• Hydroxycut Natural

Although the FDA has not received reports of serious liver-related adverse reactions for all Hydroxycut products, Iovate has agreed to recall all the products listed above. Hydroxycut Cleanse and Hoodia products are not affected by the recall. Consumers who have any of the products involved in the recall are advised to stop using them and to return them to the place of purchase.

The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.
