More misinformation (albeit through omission)

>>I become more suspicious about that ( remember the recent strawberry poisonings ? they were freom Mexico. And you get warned about not eating or dinking anything off the market down there; they don't get the purple heart for sensitivity to health care concerns down in Mehico in my book.<<

I live in San Diego. The strawberries in question indeed came from Mexico but they had been "cleaned" here in San Diego. Get your facts straight. I eat food in Mexico, I drink tap water in Mexico, and I go to Mexico at least once a month. I've never been sick from it.

Companies go to Mexico and Europe for approval because the FDA is afraid (and perhaps rightfully so) of another Thalidomide episode, and as such they insist on lengthy drug trials. That's why MUSE was approved so quickly; the active ingredient had already been approved in the US.

But all this is neither here nor there. You keep touting the benefits of MUSE without addressing the behavior of the stock, and that's the focus of this thread. You come off sounding like someone trying to sell a Betamax videotape player because it's better than a VHS machine. For crying out loud, man, look at the damn chart! Any recovery from these levels is going to be long and painful, regardless of how wonderful MUSE may be. Investors remember how VVUS dropped like a giraffe turd, and they won't be likely to take that risk again.
