Before I even think of prescribing the medications, I first take a complete medical history to determine whether there are any major underlying problems that are producing ED. I inquire about diet and exercise programs, too. I’m particularly interested if a patient is an avid cyclist. It now appears that the constant pounding in the [...]
The development of a second ED oral medication was based on the work of Dr. Adrian Zorgniotti. But it hadn’t been been for a fortuitous meeting between Dr. Zorgniotti and Joseph Podolski, the president of Zonagen, a texas-based pharmaceutical company, his research might never have passed so rapidly from his basement laboratory to a pill [...]
While medication and surgery certainly affect ED, nothing makes more of an impact on a man’s sexual health than his lifestyle. There are very particular, modifiable health risks which play major contributory roles in ED. They are obesity, smoking, and excessive drinking. Most often, ED will be the result of a combination of these factors. [...]
Not surprisingly, the actual pain caused from injecting the drugs into the penis, as well as the mere thought of doing so, is enough to turn many men away from the procedure.

The pain of rejection is real and usually happens early in life. Our values are set at around the age of seven. Think back to when you were seven years old.

This negative emotion is notorious for creating a broad spectrum of illnesses. Ulcers and arthritis may well be two of the worst. Resentment held in our body creates emotional stress which interferes with the normal functioning of our glands. Chemicals are secreted which aggravate digestion and cause hyperacidity due to internal stress. As we get [...]
Heels can land you in trouble when a pain develops here. It is the calcaneum bone that is the mystery. However, chiropractors study how the weight-bearing action of the foot has changed as a result of an injury to create the problem in the heel. It is nearly always a sacro-iliac joint sprain located in [...]
Gardening and sport are the most common reasons for my Monday morning phone calls. Doing a little gardening regularly will keep you fit. Beware of trying to do too much at one time, such as bending over and digging, when you are not in training for it. Good athletes must train long and hard. The [...]
This condition results from a pancreatic metabolic imbalance. It proves to me again and again that a light breakfast is wrong for many people. Certainly it is for those who suffer tiredness, headache mid-afternoon, dizziness, feeling faint, craving sweets or stimulants and are dieting. Low blood sugar symptoms mimic chronic fatigue syndrome and similar problems. [...]
