When it comes to health care or medical products that promise results, especially those concerning E.D., the Federal Trade Commission offers these tips for evaluating claims you may want to believe and should be careful about:

• If the product is advertised as effective for treating impotence and no physician’s prescription is necessary, forget it, this product mostly likely won’t cure the condition.

• If the product is advertised as a “breakthrough” in treating impotence, check with your doctor to see if it is legitimate.

• If the product is promoted by a “medical organization,” call your physician to check the credentials. Phony “clinics” and sham “institutes” are touting bogus cures for impotence.

• If the product says “scientifically proven” to reverse impotence in a high percentage of patients, check it out with your doctor. Some claims that “clinical studies” prove a product works are often exaggerated or false.

Generally high success rates should raise suspicions and if the product being pitched to cure impotence is “herbal” or “all natural,” dismiss it. To date, no “herbal” or “all natural” substance has been shown to be an effective treatment for E.D. (Source: http://ftc.gov/)
