Recommended Posts

Studies are still being conducted, but they've found that Viagra enhances the body at high altitude, helping the lungs with their oxygen need!

"Scientists have found a performance-enhancing drug that could be exploited by endurance athletes at high altitudes and soldiers in the mountains of Afghanistan: Viagra."

"Altitude researchers saw the potential of the drug because pulmonary hypertension is an effect of exercise in oxygen-poor environments. As blood vessels constrict in the lungs, the heart has to work harder to pump blood through the body."

"Military researchers, though, might begin testing Viagra's effects on about a dozen soldiers at a military laboratory on Colorado's Pikes Peak, elevation 14,110, later this summer, said Charles Fulco, a research physiologist and high-altitude expert at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick, Mass.

"If we send a group of guys into the mountains of Afghanistan, they need to be able to deal with the altitude," Fulco said."



I don't know about you, but I'd think they'd be distracted in another way now...;)

And they have a built in POLE for their tents;)
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

So could you take Salt Peter and counteract the Viagra and then not be worried about the 4 hour "issue"
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
