Sexual

Erectile Dysfunction & The Zinc Connection

March 29, 2014 By I Am He Leave a Comment

At around 30-40 years of age, many men begin to experience a gradual decrease in sexual desire and performance.

There are many factors contributing to this – stress, bad lifestyle, environmental toxins and pollution, radiation, chemically laden, processed and GM foods, smoking, secondary smoke, recreational drugs, excessive alcoholic consumption, lack on bio-available organic minerals and vitamins, and a whole host of other factors.

A lack of organic zinc in the diet is one factor that may contribute to diminishing libido: insufficient zinc may lead to male hyperplasia and atrophy of the testes.

One of the early symptoms of a decline in libido is an impairment in the sense of taste. A lack of organic zinc also contributes to this taste impairment. Compounded with a deficient diet, excessive consumption of alcohol also causes zinc deficiency in the body.

Alcohol obstructs the absorption of zinc by the body. A healthy adult requires 15mg of zinc daily. However, organic zinc can only be fully absorbed and utilized by the body only if it is replenished on time.

Oysters are rich in organic zinc. Every 100g of oyster contains 47.8mg of organic zinc.

Erectile Dysfunction & L-Arginine

March 29, 2014 By I Am He Leave a Comment

L-Arginine is an amino acid that is a key ingredient in sperm formation.

It is also a precursor to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator that dilates arteries and relaxes the inner smooth tissue of the penis, which can often become congested.

Scientific research has shown that supplementing oral arginine does not usually give good results.

It is best to increase the level of arginine in the body itself. This is now the new focus in developing treatment for erectile dysfunction

An enzyme called arginase plays the role of a ‘house keeper’ in a series of complex chemical chain reactions during penile erection. Arginase controls the synthesis of arginine.

When the activity of arginase is high, the level of arginine is low, and vice versa. We can therefore block or limit the activity of arginase to increase the supply of arginine.

This helps better penile erection and performance during sexual activity.

Fixing Erectile Dysfunction – Use Medicinal Mushrooms

March 29, 2014 By I Am He Leave a Comment

Medicinal Mushrooms are Potent Allies for Erectile Dysfunction / Male Sexual Impotence Challenges

The ancient Chinese had a prize tonic / remedy for the male libido; a safeguard against erectile dysfunction / male impotence to ensure sexual pleasure and the perpetuation of the family dynasty. Not to forget the health and longevity necessary to enjoy all this.

It has only been in recent years that scientists have confirmed what ancient cultures have already known for centuries: that mushrooms contain within them some of the most potent medicines available in the natural world.

Their cellular constituents can impact the quality of human health profoundly. These agents of health and healing are extraordinarily low in toxicity, even at high doses. This is not the case with most pharmaceutical drugs.

Medicinal mushrooms are excellent for specific clinical conditions linked with masculine low libido, erectile dysfunction, impotence and virility: high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, stress and cholesterol.

These medical conditions in men, apart from being potentially life-threatening, contribute significantly to low libido, erectile dysfunction, impotence and prostate gland problems.

Mushrooms were used extensively in the royal palaces of China. The choice mushroom was Cordyceps. Historically its use was restricted exclusively to the emperors and their concubines.

Research on Cordyceps done at The Beijing Medical University in China, and also in Japan indicated a 64% success rate in men afflicted with erectile dysfunction / male impotence, versus 24% in the placebo group.

Cordyceps is extremely expensive as normally it is harvested in the wild. It is a fungal growth on a host and eats its way into the hosting body. This may sound gruesome, but the product not only works but works extremely well in cases of male impotence / erectile dysfunction.

Today, science and technology have come up with a Cordyceps that does not feed on a host, and which is cultivated according to organic standards. This makes this cultivated Cordyceps vegetarian.

There are many medicinal mushrooms that have curative actions. The medical conditions listed below can contribute to erectile dysfunction / male impotence. Taking the appropriate mushroom supplement can help. Note that the best overall mushroom to take is the Cordyceps.

Sexual Potentiator (good for for erectile dysfunction, impotence): Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Shiitake/Xiang Gu (Lentinula edodes)

Libido Tonic (increases libido): Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Shiitake/Xiang Gu (Lentinula edodes); Reishi/Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum); Turkey Tail / Yun Zhi (Trametes versicolor)

Regulate Blood Pressure. High blood pressure can lead to erectile dysfunction / impotence: Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Shiitake/Xiang Gu (Lentinula edodes); Reishi/Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum); Pearl Oyster/Hiratake (Pleurotus ostreatus);
Hen of the Woods/Maitake (Grifola frondosa)

Blood Sugar Moderator (for Diabetes and Hypoglycaemia): Diabetics are at high risk of atherosclerosis and nerve damage, both of which can lead to erectile dysfunction / male impotence.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Shiitake/Xiang Gu (Lentinula edodes); Hen of the Woods/Maitake (Grifola frondosa); Himematsutake (Agaricus blazei); Chaga (Inontus obliquus)

Cardio Vascular Health (for Heart Disease & Related Problems) Heart disease can result in erectile dysfunction and vice-versa.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Reishi/Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum); Pearl Oyster/Hiratake (Pleurotus ostreatus); Oregon Polypore (Ganoderma oregonense)

Cholesterol Reducer: High cholesterol can lead to erectile dysfunction / impotence.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Shiitake/Xiang Gu (Lentinula edodes); Pearl Oyster/Hiratake (Pleurotus ostreatus); Reishi/Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum); Hen of the Woods/Maitake (Grifola frondosa); Himematsutake (Agaricus blazei); Enokitake (Flammulina velutipes); Mesima (Phellinus linteus)

Stress Reducer: Stress is a killer. It can lead to high blood pressure, that in turn leads to erectile dysfunction/ impotence.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Shiitake/Xiang Gu (Lentinula edodes); Reishi/Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum); Hen of the Woods/Maitake (Grifola frondosa)

Tonic for Frayed Nerves: Calm and well-being are vital to erectile and libido health.
Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinesis); Pearl Oyster/Hiratake (Pleurotus ostreatus); Reishi/Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum); Oregon Polypore (Ganoderma oregonense)

Men, don’t wait any longer!
Get cracking and dose up on mushrooms. And don’t forget that the Cordyceps is the best overall mushroom, if you are happy to fork out the price. The organic vegetarian Cordyceps could well be your best choice to rid yourself of erectile dysfunction / male impotence, and get on the royal road to vital male virility and libido!

Erectile Dysfunction & Atherosclerosis

March 29, 2014 By I Am He Leave a Comment

Erectile dysfunction due to atherosclerosis has been shown to be a harbinger of a stroke or a heart attack.

Atherosclerosis is the hardening in the arteries as a result of a build-up of plaque containing cholesterol, fat-laden materials and cellular debris.

Today, most people are aware that smoking and the consumption of fat-laden foods lead to the production of these plaques that end up clogging arteries, thus preventing the easy flow of blood to the heart and other parts of the body.

Atherosclerosis is a process that occurs systematically throughout the whole body, and is not just confined to the arteries supplying the heart.

Most men are not aware that these same plaques can also block up the arteries leading to the genitals resulting in the difficulty, or inability, to attain an erection.

Atherosclerosis restricts the supply of blood to the penis and also to the nerves that govern sexual arousal, thereby resulting in a failure in the man ‘to perform’.

Men with diseased coronary arteries are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction than those individuals free from coronary disease.

If erectile dysfunction / impotence in a man is caused by the clogged-up blood vessels of atherosclerosis, it is imperative that the man reduces the cardiovascular risks of elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking and a general lack of physical exercise.

Adopting a diet low in fat, an exercise program, and a healthy lifestyle that includes stopping smoking, is necessary to help reverse the problem

How Can A Man Satisfy His Woman?

April 6, 2013 By I Am He Leave a Comment

What do women really want from their men as far as making love is concerned?

Well, the answer from women who answered these questions, and please note, these are women from the top of the social and corporate ladders way across to women yoga instructors to women who are housewives. The answer they gave was a 2-worded one:

“Harder….Longer.”

When these women were asked exactly what they meant by their answer of ‘HARDER’, the unanimous answer was “Like steel…like granite.”

And when asked what precisely they meant by ‘LONGER’, their reply was that they would, well, settle (sigh!) for 20 to 30 minutes – mind you, IF THEY HAD TO. But in reality, their bottom line as far as love making was concerned, they wanted one hour and even MORE!

Now we want to know what it was really like in bed with their husband/lover/partner? The answers we got varied from “…felt like a whale landed on me…” to “…a 30-second job..” to “…humped, huffed and puffed, then ejaculated in 3 to 5 minutes, then rolled over, and panting, asked me…’Darling, did you have a good time too?’

Surprisingly, many men are not satisfied with their own sexual (non) performance. A great many admitted that although they have erections followed by ejaculation when semen simply flows out, they did not really feel that much.

A man can try all sorts of techniques, mental or otherwise, that he so desires. However, nothing in this world will help give him a rock-hard erection if there is insufficient energy in, and blood flow into, the penis.

There are methods and natural remedies that can help men last for a few hours, get rock-hard erections and then ejaculate with many times as much force as before when he was, well…rather soft.

The men who acquire this knowledge and put it to use will surely not know the meaning of competition. On top of that, they can fulfil their woman’s desire of…H.A.R.D.E.R….L.O.N.G.E.R…

Testosterone Gel does not boost the effects of Viagra

November 29, 2012 By I Am He Leave a Comment

Men being treated for erectile dysfunction do not enjoy an additional boost to their treatment by the addition of testosterone gel

A recent study suggests that the addition of testosterone gel to Viagra intake do not really benefit men in the area of erectile dysfunction and low testosterone.

The first choice and standard prescription treatments for erectile dysfunction are a group of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors; these include sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis).

For erection to occur, strong blood flow and oxygen are needed. These group of PDE5 drugs work by helping the smooth muscles of the penis to relax, which action increases blood flow, and therefore, increased oxygen.

In the cases of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction and who also suffer from low testosterone levels, physicians often prescribe testosterone gel in addition to a standard PDE5 drug.

However, new clinical trials indicated that this combination prescription is questionable,

Dr. Matthew Spitzer, lead researcher and fellow of endrocrinology at Boston University School of Medicine had this to say: “We had expected to see some added benefit from testosterone…But that’s not what we observed.”

Over a 14-week period,140 men who were randomly assigned to the duo Viagra-testosterone get intake did not fare better than those who were given Viagra and a hormone-free placebo gel.

According to Dr. Spitzer, both groups of men responded to the drug, Viagra. He said that on average, the men’s scores on a questionnaire on erectile dysfunction increased about 8 points, indicating that they ‘improved’, moving slightly up to the ‘mild’ erectile-dysfunction category.

However, there was no substantial difference between those men who used the testosterone gel and those who used the placebo.

These findings, (Nov 20, issue of the journal Annals of Internal Medicine) very much surprised the research team.

Dr. Spitzer concluded that these results are good news for men who suffer from both erectile dysfunction and low testosterone in that they suggest that a PDE5 drug alone works just as well.

According to another expert researcher, this study, has clinical implications.

Dr. Alvin Matsumoto who is an endrocrinologist (who studies the effects of testosterone throughout the body) from the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, although not involved in this study, said that the findings are “likely to change the routine use of testosterone in these men.”

Dr. Matsumoto adds that this doesn’t mean that testosterone is of no use to men with erectile dysfunction, far from that.

Some men are diagnosed with hypogonadism, a medical condition indicating a deficiency in testosterone. According to Dr. Matsumoto, this diagnosis should be based on more than just the level of testosterone in a man’s blood, which, Dr Matsumoto said, should be measure more than once. Why? A “low” often turns out to be normal on a second test. In addition, the diagnosis should also be based on other possible signs and symptoms, not just erectile dysfunction, but also on problems like fatigue, depression, waning muscles and low bone mass.

The subjects of this clinical test were men aged between 40 and 70. They were assessed only for erectile dysfunction and not other symptoms, said Dr. Spitzer. Therefore, it is not clear whether the results would also apply to men diagnosed with hypogonadism.

Dr. Matsumoto added, “If you have low testosterone, but (erectile dysfunction) is the only thing that’s going on, it’s reasonable to try sildenafil alone.”

A further point, Dr. Matsumoto said, is whether the addition of testosterone therapy can be of aid to some men suffering from low testosterone levels, those who fail to get a good outcome from Viagra or another erectile dysfunction drug.

In this test, all of the 140 men started with only Viagra for a few weeks. Any man who failed to respond to the drug had his dosage increased to a maximum of 100 milligrams per day. 70 men were randomly assigned to use the testosterone gel every day for 14 weeks while the other 70 men used the placebo gel.

At the end of the study, the men in both the groups maintained the improvement they had had when they were taking only their daily dose of Viagra only.

Dr. Matsumoto concluded that this indicated the benefits of “optimizing” a man’s dosage of Viagra, and of allowing the drug sufficient time to work.

However, he added that if a man still does not obtain an improvement in his erectile function despite the use of an PDE5 drug AND his testosterone level still remains low, “my sense is that he should consider trying testosterone.”

In summary, it is controversial whether low testosterone is a medical condition that requires treatment. Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture testosterone products – costs of which can be a few hundred dollars a month – have been criticized for their attempts to promote the normal process of male aging as a medical condition, and to make money from this.

In addition, there are side effects from the use of testosterone gels: acne, prostate enlargement (that lead to embarrassing and painful urinary problems) and an increased likelihood of contracting prostate cancer are a few of these undesirable conditions, according to the Endocrine Society.
