Considering the various nasty notes you and Dauntless posted in which you crowed about being right, and rudely insisted that I was ignorant on these matters, it seems to me that it would be good for both of you to recognize that you were wrong about the approval of this drug, and that my opinion has been proven correct. It's only now, when you are wrong, that you take this new reasoned position that we both have been right and this is all about an exchange of ideas. You weren't willing to exchange ideas with me before: only impose your own. I am in agreement that this SHOULD be about an exchange of ideas and a reasoned conversation. Now that you are proven wrong, maybe you'll actually act in accordance with those lofty ideals -- for once. Linda

PFE is leading the way in the UK, so if Vasomax ever does get approved there, UK may be able to prescribe it. Of course, I don't think there'll be repeat scrips since I don't think it works, but this release is potentially good news for ZONA's hopes in the UK: Headline: Court rules against UK government in Viagra case ====================================================================== LONDON, May 26 (Reuters) - England's High Court on Wednesday ruled that government advice limiting the availability of the anti-impotence drug Viagra via the state-funded National Health Service was unlawful. Ruling on a legal challenge brought by Pfizer Ltd (NYSE:PFE), Judge Justice Collins ruled unlawful a circular issued by the Health Department telling doctors to prescribe the drug at NHS expense only in exceptional circumstances. Pfizer had brought the case following advice issued when the drug was approved last September. Health Secretary Frank Dobson said earlier this month that NHS prescriptions would be restricted to men who have been treated for prostate cancer and patients with conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease. The judge said that evidence before him suggested that 1.8 million men in this country suffered complete erectile dysfunction and another eight million were partially affected. He said that Viagra was regarded as the most desirable treatment available for the condition which if not treated could lead to depressive illness, loss of self-esteem and loss of confidence. However, he said the cost to the NHS of prescribing Viagra would run to tens of millions of pounds a year unless some restrictions were placed on its use. The court granted the government leave to appeal. Copyright 1999, Reuters News Service
