A Solution is Just a Click Away


When men have a problem related to their health, male psychology dictates that they try to approach it in a “manly” way. For some men, that means just ignoring the problem. A married man seldom has much luck with that approach.

Thirty-five years ago, a man who needed to loose some weight scheduled regular visits with his doctor. His doctor prescribed a blood pressure medicine, one that the man took as directed. After a while, he had back spasms, and he had no online pharmacy where he could look for expected side effects.

After a series of inquiries he found the solution to his problem. He did not need to bemoan his inability to go online and “buy health”; male reluctance to go to a doctor was also not a problem. The man with the back spasms found that he needed to increase his potassium intake, and he learned that bananas are a good source of potassium.

This same gentleman did something one can not do when one chooses to go online for health. Male inclinations led him to make a bet with his physician, a man who also needed to loose a few pounds. The physician and the patient were in a competition to see which one would loose weight faster.

Unfortunately, the there was no winner in that competition. The patient never lived to see the creation of the online pharmacy. He died of a heart attack while mowing his lawn. If he had had a problem with his heart, he had not shared that problem with his physician. He had tried to me a real man, and he had kept his health problem to himself.
