cunlba.org – In fact, impotence is not a new problem. That problems was have existed since thousands of years ago, perhaps even since the beginning of the existence of Adam. Different cultures and ethnicities were hereditary has developed a variety of drugs to cope. Many natural herbs have properties similar to synthetic substances contained in Viagra and other new drugs, with fewer side effects. These are among others:
1. Ginseng
For centuries, the Chinese sinshes have used Panax ginseng, also known as Asian ginseng or Korean, as a medicine for impotence. Linda B. White, MD, and Steven Foster, author of The Herbal Drugstore, reported that American scientists are skeptical of the effectiveness of this herb is recognized that some studies in animals have shown promising results. White and Foster showed that ginseng is not a quick solution for erectile dysfunction, but it can give positive results if taken consistently for several months.
2. Gingko Biloba
Gingko is one of the main herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. Gingko extract obtained from leaves of ginkgo trees are mixed into teas and capsules. This herb is widely used to improve blood flow, treat asthma, bronchitis, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), improving memory and concentration, and improve sexual performance.
3. L-arginine
L-arginine is another natural alternative for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. In a 1999 study of 50 men at Tel Aviv University, J. Chen and colleagues found that 31 percent of men demonstrate their impotence improvement within six weeks of taking this herbal supplement.
4. Catuaba and Muira Puama
Powder second skins this tree, which is found in the Amazon rainforest, usually used simultaneously. Both have been used for centuries by native Brazil to increase libido and sexual stamina.
5. Maca Root
Known as the Viagra from Peru, Maca root has been shown to increase sexual desire and reduce erectile dysfunction. The herb is known to react very quickly and is usually used as an extract in food and beverages.
In the good old days when men were men and women knew their place, laws were implemented no matter how much they offended the principles of equality. Now the wheel has turned, and the law has recognized the principle that, in order to enjoy the fundamental freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution, the treatment accorded men and women must be the same. Except there are issues when, somehow, this principle seems to be ignored. For some, the dictates of religion trump secular ideas of equality, particularly when it comes to abortion. In recent bills brought before the lawmakers in various states, there’s a new aggression in the air. For example, the Senates in Idaho, Virginia, Texas and eight other states are slowly edging toward the passing of laws to require women to have a fetal ultrasound examination before being allowed to proceed with the abortion. In Virginia, the issue has reached such a point that police in riot gear were recently called to defend the steps into the Capitol. To the majority of women, this is an invasion of the privacy between a doctor and the patient. Worse, it legislates on a strictly medical matter for a political purpose. There’s no medical reason to have a fetal ultrasound. Indeed, since it requires a probe to be inserted into the vagina, it’s considered inappropriate. In this instance, its only purpose is as a deterrent to women about to go through an abortion procedure.
To correct the balance, Larry Farnese, a Democrat Senator in Pennsylvania, has drafted a bill to require all men to have a full prostate examination before being allowed a prescription for an erectile dysfunction drug. If it’s suggested there’s no physical cause for the dysfunction, the requirement would shift to require attendance in sex therapy sessions to determine whether there are psychological problems that need to be addressed. In both cases, there would also be a video to watch that would detail the known side effects to using the dysfunction drugs. As you will understand, the purpose of the bill is to make it as much a hassle for men to get treatment as it would be for women to get an abortion. It’s actually a direct response to a bill introduced by Kathy Rapp, a Republican, called “The Woman’s Right To Know Act”, i.e. to know the fetal age of the baby and to confirm its heart is still beating by inserting a transvaginal probe.
It would be pleasing to be able to write that battle has now been joined in Pennsylvania but, unfortunately, the Republicans have a ten-seat majority and can quickly vote down any Democrat bill. But it has at least got people talking which is always a good thing. Up to now, it’s largely been seen as a women-only issue. But if men actually believed they might be made to jump through hoops to get their levitra, they might have a little more sympathy for women. So here’s the sixty-four-thousand dollar question for you. Do you believe it appropriate for our law-makers to be legislating to mandate unnecessary medical procedures? With the Supreme Court about to hear argument on the mandate of health insurance, it would be ironic if access to both levitra and abortion were also subject to mandated procedures.
There’ was a good news lately that Viagra has managed to get its patent protection extended in the US. This will certainly prevent the generic manufacturers from introducing cheaper versions of the drug, which are not always appropriate quality.
However this turns it be a bad news for men with ED as with no significant competition, prices stay high and sexual activity could become unaffordable. So let’s look at the recent new products in men’s health treatment and see if they are the real competitors to Viagra. Perhaps men with ED issues have got an even better choice? A new condom packed with gel to be packed in condoms has been reported to help men maintain their erections for longer. This is going through regulatory approval in Europe and expects to be on the market later this year.
Obviously, the gel can simply be rubbed into the penis for the same results. So far, there’s no sign of an application for the FDA for approval but it should not be difficult. The drug is currently used in the treatment of angina and all it will take is an extension of its existing US license. We have the same idea of absorption through the skin applied to patches. These can be stuck on to the body anywhere and once the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, the erection forms when the body is stimulated.
There’s also a new drug in development to increase libido. This is a hormone treatment and would be marketed to both men and women. It works in the brain to increase the desire for sex. In the first stage of testing, it also seems to reduce the appetite for food so this could be a double treatment. Enjoy great sex and lose weight at the same time. The real benefit should be in reducing the problem of performance anxiety. Already available in some countries comes Zydena which is mainly aimed at the problem of premature ejaculation but is also said to improve hardness.
What can Viagra manufacturers offer in the competition?
From the other side of the market, the development effort of Pfizer and Lily is going into providing the PDE5 inhibitors in different formats. So, for example, pills that melt in the mouth are now available in different flavors – mint seems to be popular. Look around and you will find soft and chewable
