Well it's about time. There's no justification for all these chemical erections. WTF

Whenever you see a supplement touting its health benefits because it's "all natural," just remember: tapeworms and arsenic are "all natural" too.

The answer is in the "F".

Hey, one day I may have this problem too, so I can't knock the product.

What about that stuff called "Horney Goat Weed" ?


Seen it forsale in various gas stations and truck stops. Judgin from the name I figured it would be a bad idea..........

Then there is those other things that can give you an erection for over 9 hours or more. Listed on tv in the side effects. Aint no doctor but that don't sound good.

Of course the wife has been hunting up the saltpeter for me but she thinks I'm immune ;-)

Horny Goat Weed is an excellent substitute for viagra as it doesn't raise the blood pressure as much as lovietra (sp?) or viagra. I have a lot of clients who can't take the prescription pills because of high blood pressure and prostate issues but the herbals help them. The problem happens when men think more is better and abuse pills whether they're prescription or not. Having said that, I don't care for chinese herbs other than a select few. I wouldn't order anything from China anyway. It's already been shown that Chinese packaged herbs have had PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE in them already.

I manage a health food store for someone and don't order herbals originating in China at all. One has to be careful. Like prescriptions, they add fake ingredients to everything there.

Not for guys with high blood pressure... otherwise it's great. I sell a really concentrated blue pill that's supposed to be a herbal knockoff of viagra. However, the pure powder herb not concentrated down into the alkaloid is much much better and not so stimulating. I notice really low quality cheap supplements with ephedra in it but not as much since the crackdown.

By this paragraph, you have shown yourself to be completely ignorant of the topic by your complete and total misunderstanding of the whole medical issues for people with vascular disease with taking medicines like Viagra...

And you give advice to people taking this stuff??

I'm relating my customers' experiences with different products and what their doctors have given them. Sorry if you don't like what I say, but I'm not ignorant. Have a nice evening.

Well, if you think Viagra and Lovitra RAISE blood pressure, then you are ignorant of pharmacology and physiology and the topic in general.

And, I am having a nice evening...thanks for you well wishes.

with a screen name like yours, i can see why you would make such a statement. nonetheless, our medical profession has done an outstanding job of giving the public what it wants in this case...

How does the sildenafil get into it?

If it's a herbal substance in a herb, that's one thing. But if it is chemically purified then the makers of Viagra have the patent and they can litigate it off the market. The FDA would have no part in this matter.

So you go ahead and tell my customers and their doctors that they're being ignorant of their own experiences. Please read the whole post before you launch into your pissing contest about ignorance. I'm not some seven dollar an hour idiot behind a counter. Thanks.

The Chinese manufacturers are infamous for lacing drugs into 'herbal' supplements.

Well that's good enough reason to ban it. Herbal should be herbal, not something from a test tube.
