THE man behind the controversial nasal spray that promises to help impotent men is raking in $50 million a year and receiving thousands of calls a week from distressed men. Dr Jack Vaisman, the Sydney entrepreneur often dismissed as a shonky operator, told The Sunday Telegraph that he had "successfully treated'' more than 300,000 Australian men for impotence and premature ejaculation. The medico shrugged off recent court findings that his company had engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct. Speaking at the Botany Rd headquarters of his company, Advanced Medical Institute, Dr Vaisman accused big pharmaceutical companies, such as Pfizer and Bayer, of trying to destroy him. He said they were attacking him because he had patented his own nasal spray treatment for impotence which competed with drugs such as Viagra, made by the pharmaceutical giants. "Of course, I take the customers from them - I take the money from them,'' he said. "In 1993 I opened my first clinic; since then, it has been war.'' As he spoke, more than 100 employees fielded a constant stream of calls about impotence from Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan. Dr Vaisman said 20 AMI clinics in Australia now took 9000 calls a week from worried men. His teams of nurses and doctors handled about 3000 consultations a week. AMI in the past has used celebrities such as Ian Turpie, Tim Webster and "Ugly'' Dave Gray to promote its nasal spray. It was a newspaper ad that led to his most recent run-in with authorities. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission took AMI to court, saying the company's claims about its impotence cure were "misleading and deceptive''. The Federal Court agreed. Justice Kevin Lindgren said TV personality Ian Turpie had lied when he said AMI's nasal spray had helped him overcome impotence. The judge found that Turpie had never been impotent and had engaged "in a gross deception of the public''. The judge was also critical of Dr Vaisman, describing him as "a defensive, assertive, argumentative witness''. It's not the first time the doctor, who says he qualified as a gynaecologist in Ukraine, has hit the headlines. In December, 2003, the Federal Court declared that he and his company had engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct. It found AMI's claims that all of its treating doctors had six years experience in sexual medicine were not true. In a separate matter,the Medical Board of Victoria found in 2004 that a doctor working for AMI had engaged in "unprofessional conduct of a serious nature''. This followed a complaint from a patient that his telephone consultation with the doctor had lasted about 60 seconds. Of the Turpie matter, Dr Vaisman said: "It is such a stupid case - the whole world was laughing at this case.'' The only problem he had with authorities was over advertising. "If there were any medical problems, do you think I would still be sitting here?'' Dr Vaisman said. As for his troubles with the ACCC, he said: "BP has problems with the ACCC, Harvey Norman has problems with the ACCC. "I have problems with the ACCC. So what?''
