Only buy levitra from a recommended pharmacy - 25.03.2010

From the beginning of time, traveling medicine shows have come into town, offering miracle cures for every conceivable disease. These conmen have preyed on the weak and vulnerable, persuading them to give up their money in return for fakes and counterfeits. The nature of the cures has changed over the centuries. In the earliest days, roots and berries with healing properties were peddled. Then we got into the potions and ointments. As technology developed, devices exploiting the power of magnetism and electricity added an air of mystery and imagination to the sales pitch. But all were worthless, only achieving limited results through the placebo effect as the gullible believed strongly enough in the cure to make it work. For the most of last century, we grew in confidence as medical science seemed to have more of the answers. The respect given to the physicians allowed them to divert more people away from the frauds. Some continued to sell their magic potions through newspaper and magazine classified ads, but their impact was limited. But come the age of the internet and the world has stepped back in time.

The problem is easy to state. For a few dollars, anyone can put up a website that looks professional. This is not like a bricks and mortar store where anyone walking in will quickly be able to see it is not a real business by looking round the shelves. Online stores only have one or two pages, a few pictures and a shopping cart. It’s impossible to tell the good and bad apart. The problem is worse when it comes to the sale of erectile dysfunction drugs. The dysfunction itself is associated with shame and embarrassment. If men are sold fakes, they are less likely to complain. Until now, no-one was entirely sure of the extent of the problem. But there is new research in from Japan. One-hundred-eighty anonymous orders were placed at sixty pharmacies based in Japan and Thailand. The pills delivered were analyzed and one-hundred-two were found to be fake. Many of the pills contained dangerous chemicals. This helps to explain the rising number of deaths in Singapore and Hong Kong associated with poisoning and drug-induced heart attacks.

The research gives a slightly misleading result because it focuses on pharmacies based in Asia which is notorious for its culture of fakes. The research was also funded by the pharmaceutical industry so it would expect the results to show online pharmacies in a bad light. Nevertheless, the World Health Organization is growing concerned at the number of unregulated manufacturers and pharmacies operating in third world countries. With no effective policing and the ability to set up multiple websites, these criminals are making large amounts of money while putting lives at risk. This makes it particularly important to use trusted or recommended online pharmacies. Naturally, we would say the pharmacies recommended through this site are genuine but, with a little effort, you can check them out online and find independent evidence they are genuine. Remember always to buy levitra from a trusted source. Ask your friends and colleagues where they get their supplies. Never buy from pharmacies based in Asia. Levitra is the most powerful of the erectile dysfunction drugs. Make sure you get the real deal when you buy online.
