=======================================================

GENERAL OVERVIEW :
================
As you go through the scientific evidence collected below, the
following are key points to remember:

SILDENAFIL/Viagra/Pfizer will ONLY work if there is SOME RESIDUAL
HEALTHY penile tissue tha can produce some Nitric Oxide and cGMP.So
Sildenafil ONLY ENHANCES an ERECTION.So it will not work for the
millions that have dead penile nerves and arteries such as the advanced
diabetics;Muse instead works in diseased tissue veven that which does
not produce Nitric Oxide or cGMP.
Thus Sildenefill and Muse are different and treat different stages of
impotence and different patients;and there are millions of them more
than enoough for each ( if SildenAfilf gets approved).
The best way is to use both.

Phentolamine is a non issue as Drs Morrales & Heaton from Queen's
University have commented in the below excellent review article on male
impotence.
