I agree. I think ED will be treated with multiple approaches from Apo-morphine through to Caverject. No one therapy will work well in every patient. The number of people who will be requiring therapy will increase dramatically over the next few years (Wait till the next market correction and deflation: the boomers will be drooping) I think VVUS is going to have a tough time over the next few months with production problems and Viagra in April. I hear that application has been made in Canada to have approval based on FDA trials (which included Canadian sites including us). This will be most unusual if granted as MUSE is not available in Canada until May/June. Incidently I sold my position on Friday for a couple of points and will wait to rebuy. I think over the long term this will be a money maker but the Chips are stacked big time right now.

-- Dr. Voss or anyone esle knowledgable on the subject of oral medications: -- Since reading Dr. Robert Atkins' take on blood pressure and cholestrol fighting drugs, I've sworn off all medicines. Even when I came down with bronchitis 2 years ago, and the doctor tried perscribing amoxicillin, and I said hey, "can't that stuff hurt me? do you have some other advice?" He yelled at me, threw a tantrum, and thought I was accusing him of malpractice. -- Anyway, the question is this: From what we know about how Viagra works, is there a low, medium, or high probability that it does damage to any vital organs? e.g. heart, kidneys, and liver. Out.
