Herbal Viagra Goes Legit
The flood of junk e-mail about herbal Viagra may be annoying as hell,
but before you use your filtering program to make sure you never see those
two words together again, you might be interested to know that a top impotence
researcher just completed a study on one brand and he thinks the
stuff works great. University of California, San Francisco urologist Dr.
Tom Lue fed BetterMan (888-686-2698 or bettermannow.com) to impotent rats
and found that they all regained their sexual potency. Although he's still
unclear about the mechanism it appears that one of the product's
18 traditional Chinese herbs blocks the same troublesome enzyme that Viagra
does. Lue plans to do human studies soon to see whether the centuries
of glowing reports from China about the herbs' effect on male libido bear
up under scrutiny. For now, he says, the ingredients are benign enough
that if you're trying to avoid the potential side effects or inconvenience
of prescription Viagra, BetterMan probably can't hurt and it might
help quite a bit.
