LInda,

Notice how the ZONA shills quoted in this report attempt to skew the data to make it look like Vasomax is as efficacious as Viagra. They claim that Vasomax works on up to 50% of men once you "rework" the numbers and claim this is comparable to Viagra. The fallacy of this is that Viagra has an efficacy rate of around 50% if you subtract out the placebo effect. On the other hand, it would appear that they have edged the Vasomax numbers up from a maximum efficacy rate of 45% to 50%- but fail to quote the efficacy based on the percentage minus placebo effect!!!! In other words, they are intentionally misleading the public again. Like Dauntless said, if you compare numbers for Viagra and Vasomax you have to treat both data sets the same in order to come to a valid conclusion. In order for Vasomax to have a true efficacy of 50%, it would have to have a gross efficacy of 66% including placebo effect. I don't care how you "rework" the numbers, you can't turn 45% into 66% legitimately. These guys are going to get eaten alive in court.
