Has your health changed for the worse?
“Earlier this year, I saw the doctor when I became severely jaundiced. A blood test showed that my liver enzyme count was off the charts. Now I’m undergoing more tests to see if my liver is irreparably damaged.
Recently I was shocked to see the FDA came out with a warning about the dangers of Hydroxycut because I had taken Hydroxycut faithfully for some time to help lose weight. Now because of this dangerous supplement I’m facing a possible liver transplant operation.”
Hydroxycut is a popular over-the-counter dietary supplement used by over nine million people to help with weight loss. Unfortunately, the prolonged use of Hydroxycut has been linked to the development of serious health problems with the liver, which may result in a possible liver transplant or even death.
Hydroxycut has been linked to 23 reports of serious liver problems, as well as one death, although some independent studies indicate that the number of injuries may be much higher, especially since symptoms of injury may occur months after discontinuing Hydroxycut.
On May 1, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called for all users of Hydroxycut to discontinue its use immediately. In a letter to medical professionals, the FDA stated, “We believe (Hydroxycut) presents a serious public health risk.”
With Hydroxycut injuries, typical liver damage symptoms include jaundice and elevated liver enzymes. Other related health problems include seizures, cardiovascular disorders and rhabdomyolysis, (muscle damage that leads to other serious problems, such as kidney failure.)
