thanks for posting the link, hunter.

<<Ross adds, "All heart patients need to be cautioned about vigorous activity, and sex can be a vigorous activity." >>

note also the final remarks:
although couched
in generally conservative tones,
this is a reasonable article which offers
a practical and unhurried approach to embracing viagra.

Thanks also for the article.All articles pro or con help us learn,and stimulate conversation. In this case the last sentence is the most common misconception about Viagra.
<<Don't take Viagra if you're not impotent. It's not an aphrodisiac. Nor does it improve sexual performance in men who can achieve a healthy erection. >>
I can tell they did no studies themselves nor did they talk to anyone like myself.I have used it many times and have never been close to being impotent.Have also talked to many males in their 20s and 30s who have used it.This Viagra is a absolute erection enhancer.No doubt about it. I tried to e-mail them about their misrepresentation but it was a paid service.
RE the lawsuit. We could not have asked for a better first lawsuit.So bogus. There will be many more. I expected the first to come from the family of a dead person who maybe had taken it . We lucked out.

i agree, hunter:
this final paragraph trumpets
the editorial skewing of the article.
its implicit tone is cautionary,
and its conclusions non-scientific.
however,
i don't find this grace note
particularly persuasive, even in the
context of this article.

why not respond to consumer reports?

i am sure there are many who share the
strength of your objection, although they
may not be the majority of consumer reports
readers....i would be curious to see if any are
published in response.
