Osama Bin Laden was taking herbal Viagra when he was living in his Pakistani compound.
The health of the tall, thin terror leader was the subject of much speculation in the last few years.
Some in intelligence circles even believed he was having kidney dialysis treatment.
But now evidence pulled from the medicine cabinet in his hideout, and interviews with his young wife in the Pakistani media, appear to show bin Laden, 54, was not in bad shape.
They also show his fondness for herbal remedies. [...]
Aside from its use to increase sexual desire and potency, Avena syrup is also used as an artificial sweetener often used for a sour stomach.
[...]
Bin Laden's youngest widow Amal, 29, told Pakistani investigators: 'He was neither weak nor frail.
[...] According to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, Amal, a Yemeni national who was only 17 when she wed bin Laden, said he had recovered fully from two kidney surgeries a decade ago.
The Saudis are thought to have hired an assassin to poison Bin Laden in 1999 and the toxin gave him kidney failure.
Amal said he was not on dialysis and helped treat himself by eating a lot of watermelons.
She told officials that she and Bin Laden had just gone to bed and had switched off the lights when they heard the first gunshots of the 1am Navy SEALs raid.
Before Bin Laden could reach for his AK-47, the commandos had burst in and shot him, she said. Amal, who was bin Laden's fifth wife, was shot in the leg in the raid.
She has told investigators that neither she and nor bin Laden left the compound in the last five years, both living like virtual prisoners.

What do you expect of a 54 year old diabetic with three dozen wives?
Okay, now they are resorting to a mess of disinformation and smears to make him out to be worse than he really was. /s
If he’s dead, fine. Let’s move on.
Not very quick on the draw, either. If a helicopter plops down in your yard, and then doors are busted and then some shooting, and then footsteps on the stairs down the hall...and you have an AK by your bed, shouldn’t you be all set to go bang?
I know he was a mass murderer, but he he had a 29 year old wife, so...
Definitely a hardened criminal.
She probably said: "He was neither weak nor frail and like a good Muslim husband he was able to lovingly beat me when I needed it"
You would think with all those wives somebody would have done the cleaning or at least picked up the place. It's not like his wives had jobs or anything.
OBL and myself are the same age, and I’m not frail at all.
We're all sure he beat you regularly. Where's the goat, BTW?
The goat is still in hiding. He’s demanded to see the death photo just to be sure.
This hypocrite using western drugs for whatever reason would seem enough to drop him into Hell right there by muhamed´s ridiculous book.
