Gene, amazing. Snake gel,....snake oil band wagon. It is amazing how gullible people are. A skin cream for every season.... when you and I know that mucosal absorption is always faster/better than skin absorption because the mucosa ( including the urethral mucosa ) has
no corneal epithelial barrier like the skin to slow absorption......;
when you and I know that when somebody gets anginal chest pain they reach immediately for their sublingual ( i.e. mucosal ) Nitroglycerin
or their ( mucosal ) Nitroglycerin spray........they do N O T reach for their transdermal Nitroglycerin even though we have a zillion preparations of those from plain cream to a cream in a patch.
Amazing..... what lack of pharmacological and anatomical knowledge conjures up in the fertile mind / imagination......
(PS forgot to mention that there are special urethral - corpora cavernosa channels that have been discovered (which DrTom Lue describes in his monograph on Vivus ( you can get it from the company ), which further speeds up/enhances MUSE absorption.
On the other hand buying some snake oil gel maybe more fun than going to Vegas? What do gamblers out there think?Let us know......
