Dr.Bond, thanks for the data. It became obvious by the 10/24 data that there was a serious problem, but by then VVUS had already taken quite a hit. A couple questions: 1) Where do you get this data from? (where can I get it from?) 2) For the final date, did you mean 2/13 instead of 2/15, or does the last data include nine days?

DR. BOND, Thanks for the data. I appreciate your efforts. When are you going to tell us what Vivus's management had to say about the refill numbers? FOX 5 Atlanta News just did a 5 minute segment on the love potent. Dr. Nathan Padma discussed this miracle pill and said it was 70% effective in light to moderate cases of ED. He claimed minimal side effects in only 15% of users. (muscle aches) An announcer bashed all current remedies, big time. (The cumbersome vacuum pump, the painful and dangerous needle that caused priasm, and the painful injectable pill that is inserted directly into the urethra. Then they discussed the miracle pill Viagara which will be available in one to two months. A gentleman approximately 60 year's old discussed his results with the pill. He claimed it restored his sex life to that of a 16-year old. He also said, it took the pill 30 minutes to take effect and lasted for 5 hours. He liked the fact that unless he was sexually stimulated he didn't get an erection. Another individual said you could take the pill daily and not have to be concerned about becoming erect. Dr. Nathan also mentioned that there would be three pills on the market shortly. They showed one product called Vasomax. Needless to say, it was a very effective advertisement for Pfizer. After seeing this segment you would question the future for muse. Pfizer couldn't have produced a more effective commercial if it had tried. RT
