The Fda To The Rescue

The Federal authorities have had a busy week, swooping hither and thither to keep us safe as we sleep in our beds. Where would we be without these eagle-eyed defenders of the American way? Take the story out of Detroit. It seems the work of repairing US postal vehicles was diverted to a corrupt contractor in return for lap dances and enough erectile dysfunction drugs so that even the oldest of the managers could manage to be excited by the dancers. This is so thoughtful of the corrupter. Just think how frustrating it must be to have this woman squirming around in front of you and feel no reaction. And all this was apparently to secure some $13 million in work. No word on whether the repairs were actually good value for money. Presumably that will all come out at the trial for bribery.

In another story, the FDA has clamped down on some more fakes. It should be said this is a real story. So often the coverage of online pharmacies is just propaganda to frighten us into paying the egregiously high retail prices in brick-and-mortar drugstores. Take all the stories about men who send off their hard-earned dollars expecting ...
... nights of passion to be couriered their way by return, only to find their money disappears and nothing appears in their mailboxes. Such "news" is designed to stuff yet more dollars into the profit boxes of the drug manufacturers. So long as they protect their monopoly to sell the branded drugs in the US, they can all afford private jets to bring the lap dancers to them - the erectile dysfunction drugs are freely available.

Anyway, this is a story about ExtenZe, one of these male enhancement products. Sometimes you just despair of propaganda. Here are these drug corporations spending millions to deter us from buying real drugs online and men continue to buy herbal sex pills from random websites. You would think all men would understand you never trust anything on a site containing the words "herbal" and "enhancement" in the same sentence. None of these products have ever been though tests to prove they work. None of the manufacturers or distributors need a license. Anyone with a website can sell anything so long as they don't claim it to be a drug.

This leaves the FDA policing the Wild West of herbal pill advertising. If there are words suggesting this is a drug, it orders the ads withdrawn or the product confiscated. In this case, the FDA did some secret-shopper work and tested the pills to see what was in them. What a surprise. The pills were full of the same chemicals used to make erectile dysfunction drugs. No wonder the herbals actually worked!

This is an increasingly common trick with manufacturers cheating men by selling them erectile dysfunction drugs dressed up as herbal products. It's also dangerous because, if a man was to take several pills at once, this could be an overdose and end up in the ER. Such an effort when Levitra is the most powerful of the erectile dysfunction drugs and, when you buy online, significantly cheaper than any equivalent herbal product. So next time, give the herbals a miss and buy Levitra.
