LONDON (Reuters) - Viagra, the blockbuster anti-impotence drug, could help men scale ever Scientists at Hammersmith Hospital in London have shown that the drug that gives a lift to flagging sex lives can also help people breathe more easily at high altitudes and on mountaineering expeditions where oxygen levels are low. When Professor Martin Wilkins and scientists at the National Center for Cardiology in Kyrgyzstan tested Viagra on people breathing low levels of oxygen, they found that the same enzyme that constricts blood flow to the penis and prevents erections also produced breathlessness at high altitudes by constricting arteries in the lungs. Viagra blocks the action of this enzyme. Wilkins said it was an exciting discovery and could help people suffering from high blood pressure in the lungs. But he added a word of caution. "It is important to stress that whilst this is an exciting discovery, there is still a need for clinical trials," Wilkins said.

When the Oxygen is scanty and you just can't climb no more
Just take that little blue pill your capacity will rize.
But now if you remember the other side effect
This method isn't certian they still are doing trials
Now listen to gentlemen now listen up my pals |

From: katlaughing Yeah, Spaw, and it's so good for their public image; esp. when most people don't realise they use so many beagles in their research. I have friends who work there and my grandbabies live next to Pfizers. We are all convinced it is not healthy. There is always a powerdery miasma to the air. Great company to work for, though, if you don't mind their ethics. Well, well, now that low oxygen thing, next thing ya know my doc will take away the O2 line and want me popping those pills; so just tell me what does Viagra do for a woman? I know we all start out with one, but ours generally stay a numby little thing and I cannot see how any drug will suffuse it anymore than it already is, certainly standing at attention is not expected, so....**BG** As for men climbing high altitudes and taking Viagra. I'd say they might need to watch all that blood rushing to one spot; seems that would make them even more lightheaded and liable to go prone. Convenient, though, if one ran out of pylons, just dig in with that sucker, tie a rope around it and as long as the pills keep working, there ya hang, so ta speak. |
