By day, John C. Layfield is an investment banker and professional
pontificator for Fox Business Network. By night, he peddles a love
potion.
Mamajuana Energy, a berry-flavored liquid that Mr. Layfield developed,
sells for $4.99 or less. He bills the two-ounce shots as an all-
natural “sexual endurance drink” for men. A minister’s son, Mr.
Layfield says he first sampled the concoction in a dive bar in the
Dominican Republic while on vacation and was hooked.
“It’s more of a sex potion,” said Mr. Layfield, who enjoyed a
successful run as a professional wrestler before reinventing himself
as a financial whiz and beverage impresario. “Think of it as liquid
Viagra.”
Mamajuana — typically made from soaking tree bark and herbs in rum —
has long been part of Dominican culture. But it was new to Mr.
Layfield, who saw a business opportunity. How about introducing a
beverage into the booming energy drink market that was also an
ostensible aphrodisiac?
Teaming with Baywood International in Arizona, a purveyor of herbal
products, Mr. Layfield developed a nonalcoholic, caffeinated version
of the island elixir, which he named Mamajuana Energy. (He pronounces
it mama-JA-wana.) The marketing slogan is “Come to Mama.”
One of his investors is Meredith Whitney, the Wall Street analyst (now
at Oppenheimer) best known for downgrading Citigroup in November and
helping to prompt a $15 billion drop in the stock. She is also his
wife.
Is Mr. Layfield a 21st century snake-oil salesman? If traditional
mamajuana is indeed a sexual stimulant, say experts in male sexual
health, it has less to do with the herbal ingredients than with
psychology — and the rum.
“Marketing hocus pocus” is how Dr. Andrew McCullough, director of
sexual health and male infertility at New York University, describes
the product. Dr. McCullough, who also served as a clinical
investigator for Viagra, said herbal remedies were unlikely to have a
significant impact on the libido and they certainly would have no
impact on erectile dysfunction. “It’s a bogus promise,” he said.
Still, a lot of people are curious.

Radio pioneer, John R. Brinkley, killed vulnerable men and amassed a
fortune by taping into an ageless money maker...
using the men who seek eternal virility and will believe a con. The
Fox media crowd would know the many ways to sell sex-enhancing and
virility. Even the fake "Dr" Laura Schlessinger has her sales pitch
along the lines of submission and her fundamentalist ideology
[theorizing of a visionary or impractical nature]. Schlessinger has a
pattern of protecting institutionalized abuse with her silence. She
offers leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints tacit approval.
When mind control cults show the world what looks like human slaves,
how do we prevent this? Authentic dialogue and information would be
healing. Schlessinger shows no morals or humanity, just salesmanship.
