Good Sex or Good Scam?
Health food stores in Canada proclaim that Veromax, developed by Dr. Melvin Duckett, a
leading U.S. urologist, provides superior nutritional support for all men of all ages
who wish to improve sexual and prostate health. On May 14, 2000 the Toronto Star accepted
two quarter page advertisements for this sexual enhancement formula. The only trouble is
that Dr. Mel Duckett has a history of trouble with the licensing board in Maryland.

procedures. Blue Cross charged him with billing for procedures that he had
advertised were "free", billing for care not rendered, and other billing
irregularities. He failed to respond to two subpoenas, This was a Consent Order
