Another website that includes a '4' and 'Avlimil' is a health news
feature on nbc4.com:

"It's a concoction of herbs and isoflavines that have been put
together and reportedly has an 84 percent success rate of decreasing
symptoms of female sexual dysfunction," said Dr. Cheryl Iglesia,
director of urogynecology at Washington Hospital Center.

Unlike Viagra, Avlimil is not a prescription drug. You can buy it on
the Internet or over the counter. It doesn't have U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approval because it's classified as an nonsynthetic
supplement known as salvia rubus, which is an extract of
phytoestrogens, sage and raspberries. Phytoestrogens are supposed to
help boost the female libido. But doctors say that's never been
scientifically proven."

(...) 

"If you are interested in purchasing Avlimil, the best way, according
to the company, is to call their toll-gree number, (800) AVLIMIL or
visit its Web site at www.avlimil.com. A three-month supply, plus a
free introductory month, will cost about $147."

Your report is completely FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you took time to read the study on the Avlimil website, it clearly
states that any woman who has experienced menapause was excluded from
the study!

Now how they found a 65 year old woman for the study who has not
experienced menapause is room for a whole article unto itself.

Please correct this dis information!!!

FYI from the Protocol Design:

"...the major exclusion criteria were alcohol abuse and abnormalities
or dysfunction to the sexual organs; while the major confounders were
age and menopausal status."

The Avlimil study was a confounder-adjusted study.

If you have a problem with how the study was conducted or feel there
was bias involved, feel free to contact Ronald I. Blum, M.D., Medical
Director, or the IRB; however, you might give some thought to
switching off your exclamation points first.
