Erectile Dysfunction

Overview

Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction, is a condition in which men are unable to achieve or sustain an erection. Although impotence is often viewed as a natural consequence of aging, this isn’t the case. In fact, many healing traditions, such as Ayurveda, the healing system of India, and traditional Chinese medicine, regard impotence as a sign that overall health is declining.

Caution: Impotence, especially in men 60 years old and younger, can sometimes be an indication of undiagnosed heart disease. If you suffer from impotence and are not sure why, seek prompt medical attention.

As a result of the number of people affected by this condition, drugs such as Viagra®, Cialis®, Levitra®, and other ED drugs are incredibly popular and profitable.  These drugs are used over and over again by men and they generate billions of dollars in profits for ED drug manufacturers.  However, these drugs have major negative side effects and have been shown to cause stroke, heart attack, arthritis, diabetes, depression, stress, anxiety, and blindness.  Many other diseases are linked to these powerful, toxic, and dangerous drugs.   If you are a man who has some form of erectile dysfunction, there is a cure.

There are two types of impotence—primary impotence and secondary impotence. Primary impotence is rare and is almost always psychological in nature, leaving men incapable of engaging in sexual intercourse.  Secondary impotence, which can also be psychological in nature, tends to be situational, meaning that men who suffer from it can engage in sexual intercourse on some occasions, but not always, depending on various factors, such as time, place, and their feelings towards their sex partner.

Causes of impotence are divided into two classifications: physical and psychological.

Physical Causes: The primary physical causes of impotence are chronic stress, lack of physical fitness, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and poor diet. Cigarette smoking can also be a factor because of how nicotine can reduce overall circulation, resulting in diminished blood flow to the penis. Environmental pollutants, especially heavy metals, can also play a role.

Many pharmaceutical drugs can also cause or contribute to impotence. These include Anafranil Capsules, Lupron Depot, Lupron Injection, Normodyne Injection and Tablets, Paxil, Pepcid AC, Proscar, Prozac, Roferon-A Injection, Tagament, Wellbutrin, Xanax, and Zantac. Antacids, antihistamines, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, diuretics, nicotine, and psychotropic drugs are all associated with impotence, as well as most cold and flu medicines.

Impotence can also be due to other health conditions, including alcohol and/or drug addiction, diabetes, heart disease and/or elevated cholesterol levels, hypothyroidism, low pituitary function, and neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

Psychological Causes: Psychological causes of impotence include anxiety, depression, fear of intimacy and/or sex, and extreme feelings of guilt or shame. Boredom in one’s relationship can also be a factor, as can low self-esteem and performance anxiety (fears that you will not be able to satisfy your partner).

To determine if impotence is primarily being caused by psychological factors, physicians will often perform what is called a “stamp test.” This involves placing a ring of paper around the penis before going to bed. During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, or dreaming, healthy men typically experience some degree of erection. If this occurs during the stamp test, the ring of paper will become displaced, indicating that psychological factors are most likely the cause of impotence problems.

Note: Failure to achieve an erection during sleep may be a sign of a deeper underlying health problem and may require medical attention.

Nutritional deficiencies are usually zinc, magnesium and calcium so ensure you are getting your optimum levels of these.

Other useful nutrients for treating and preventing this condition include vitamin B3 (niacin), B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, manganese, and alpha-lipoic acid, evening primrose oil, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Garlic capsules, acidophilus, and hydrochloric acid (HCl) can also be helpful, as can Wobenzyme, to help protect against inflammation.

L-arginine

L-arginine is an amino acid used by the body to make nitric oxide, which helps relax the smooth muscle in the penis to allow for enhance blood flow and thus leading to an erection.    See article ‘Remedies for erectile dysfunction’ for research findings, in the article section.

Research

DHEA – research from the University of Texas in San Antonio found a non-prescription drug called DHEA can help to treat impotence.  A Massachusetts Male Aging Study in 1994 showed that impotent men often have low blood levels of a chemical produced by the adrenal glands, called DHEA that is converted to the male hormone, testosterone.  The study at the University of Texas gave sufferers 50 mg DHEA pills once a day for 6 months, the results were a marked improvement in their ability to have erections.
