HEALTHCARE REVIEW
Southern New England's Connection to Healthcare Information
Volume 11, Issue 2 February 19 – March 26, 2001
In the first published scientific study, a Chinese herbal formula, BetterMAN,
produced by Interceuticals Inc., Marblehead, MA, has been found to be
highly effective in countering male impotence.
The study, published in the November 2000 issue of the Journal of Urology,
concludes that BetterMAN ensured normal erections in a controlled study
of laboratory animals, led by urologist and leading impotence researcher
Tom F. Lue, MD, professor of urology at the University of California,
San Francisco. The animals had become impotent as the result of a high
cholesterol diet over four months before BetterMAN was given to the treatment
group.
The study confirms that BetterMAN, which has more than a 70 percent success
rate with the tens of thousands of American men who have taken it since
it US introduction in April 1998, is a highly effective formula in improving
male erectile function. The study also confirms that the benefits are
not psychological but physiologically based, according to Peipei Wu Wishnow,
PhD, president and founder of Interceuticals, a company providing effective
Chinese herbal formulas tested by western scientific methods.
Wishnow, a China born, MIT trained biologist, developed BetterMAN from
a proprietary formula of 18 natural traditional Chinese herbs that have
been used by physicians in China for more than 50 years in treating more
than 5,000 men to improve their erectile functioning, delay ejaculations,
and improve urination patterns with a 75 percent success rate.
Similar results were obtained from a US study modeled after the Harvard
Medical SchoolÍs Inventory List Measuring Male Sexual Function; 70 percent
of the participants reported benefits after consuming three bottles of
BetterMAN as directed. Since its April 1998 launching on the US market,
the feedback both from consumers and stores has been extremely positive,
manifested by the high rate of repeating customers.
Approximately 30 million American men suffer from impotence. Recent studies
show that one-third of American men age 18-59 have some sort of sexual
dysfunction. BetterMAN can be ideal for those men who do not want to take
prescription drugs because of the side effects. BetterMAN has a long safety
history, no known side effects, and no known contraindications with medications,
Wishnow said. For men who want to enhance their sexual functioning, BetterMAN
can be used preventatively as well.
Lue said the study is notable because effectiveness can be ascertained
more accurately in animals than humans, thanks to the absence of a placebo
effect, which can run as high as 35-40 percent in humans.
Animal Testing
To conduct this study, Lue fed a control group of animals a normal diet
and the treatment group a 1 percent high cholesterol diet. All animals
with a high cholesterol diet became impotent. BetterMAN was added to the
drinking water of half the treatment group of animals, 100 percent of
which regained the same level of sexual potency as the animals fed a normal
diet.
"I've had a long time interest in herbal medicine," Lue said. "There
are lots of alternative medicines out there, and many of them don't work.
I wanted to conduct a study to see if this one did."
BetterMAN's effects are cumulative by taking two capsules daily for 20
days followed by three days without, consuming three bottles over two
months. More than 70 percent of men experienced noticeable improvement
in sexual functioning after taking three bottles. Long-term usage can
ensure a continued improvement, Wishnow said.
"We have treated more than 300 patients with BetterMAN," said Dr. Lawrence
E. Dorman, doctor of osteopathy, Applewood Medical Center, Independence,
MO. "We have used many products in the past 30 years but have found BetterMAN
to be the best natural product presently on the market to treat male impotency
and urination symptoms."
"A lot of people have been concerned with the problems associated with
other products on the market," said Gary Kracoff, RPh, co-owner of the
Health and Wellness Center at Johnson Drugs in Waltham, MA, who has about
600 customers using BetterMAN.
"What is so beneficial about BetterMAN is that it restores normal sexual
activity without using chemicals. Many of my customers have found that
they have seen not only an increase in sexual function but a dramatic
decrease in nighttime urinary frequency."
BetterMAN is not a stimulant or a drug. Its approach is based upon a
traditional Chinese medicine principle of restoring the balance of all
body components, systematically enhancing whole body health, rather than
treating the disease itself.
Compared to Viagra, BetterMAN has no side effects; affords spontaneous
performance at any time; aids in urinary control, particularly in reducing
nighttime frequency; costs less; is comprised of 18 natural herbs instead
of chemicals; improves libido; and reduces premature ejaculation.
Compared to other natural products with claims for men's performance,
BetterMAN is supported by credible studies published in journals, has
long-term safety data with 50 years of history, and is guaranteed high
quality with low heavy metal levels.
