Alternative To Viagra

The FDA warns that, although a Web site may appear to be reputable and may look similar to other retail pharmacy Web sites, many of these are in fact operating from outside the United States and are providing unapproved drugs from unreliable sources. The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) has established a program called Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS), designed to certify Web sites that meet industry standards. Consumers should look for the VIPPS certification seal on the site or check with the NABP for a list of VIPPS-certified pharmacies at VIPPS to help minimize the risks of getting bad quality drugs from disreputable sources. If you are aware of any online pharmacies that you suspect may be selling counterfeit prescription drugs, you can report them to the FDA at FDA.gov .

Cell therapy In the case of erectile dysfunction, cell therapy involves the transfer of cells from a pig’s gonads into humans. It is very unlikely to work, very expensive, and illegal in the United States. Chelation Therapy Chelation agents are substances which can chemically bond with, or chelate (from the Greek chele, claw) metals, minerals, or chemical toxins from the body. Intravenous chelation therapy involves injecting the chelating agent EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) into the bloodstream for the purpose of eliminating from the body undesirable substances such as heavy metals, chemical toxins, mineral deposits, and fatty plaques. The American Heart Association has reviewed the available literature on chelation to treat arteriosclerotic heart disease, and found no scientific evidence to demonstrate any benefit. Chelation therapy is a recognized treatment for heavy metal (e.g., lead) poisoning. EDTA, injected into the blood, binds the metals and allow them to be removed from the body in the urine. Chelation therapy is not approved by the FDA to treat coronary artery disease, but some physicians and alternative medicine practitioners use it for this purpose. Up to now, there have been no adequate, controlled, published scientific studies using currently approved scientific methodology to support this therapy for cardiovascular disease. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the American College of Cardiology all agree with the American Heart Association on this point
