Vlad, In the mail today, a flyer from the American Association of Diabetes Educators touting a lecture series on "New Perspectives on Erectile Dysfunction" including a module on "Which treatment options work for Whom?" Host cities include, Kansas City, MO, Ann Arbor, MI, San Antonio, TX, Wlkes Barr, PA, Oklahoma City, OK, Houston, TX, San Francisco, CA, Lexington, KY, Honolulu, HI. The effort is aimed at "healthcare professionals" and offers continuing education credits to RN's, Registered Dietitians, and registered pharmacists. For information call: 1-800-338-DMED, ext 813. I have no idea what their position is on Muse or any other therapy. I won't get time till Friday to call them, but if any one is interested, the call is free. Frostman
