Hi Tony P --I'm very interested in the Diviner's sage, but I'm fearing the psychedelic part. Which dose did you try ? Did you feel anything weird mentally ? Do you know if it would be good for 'Genital Anesthesia' ? (you don't feel your genitals as a AD side effect)

> An herb, Diviner's Sage (Salvia divinorum), has a powerful effect on reversing sexual dysfunction in many people, myself included. It also has an antidepressant effect for some people. It reverses most of the problems listed above, plus helping E.D. Unfortunately, it is a powerful psychedelic in doses not much greater than those effective for sexual dysfunction, and as such may be regarded as questionable. It is legal (so far) in Canada and most of the U.S., but is suffering from guilt by association. However, the drug company that manages to isolate or synthesize an analog that doesn't have the "undesirable" side-effects or legal complications will probably eclipse the Viagra/Cialis success story overnight!
