What is so horny about some goat weed?

Horny Goat Weed: More Than Just A Name
Behind the funny name of horny goat weed stands a time-tested aphrodisiac that increases libido in men and women, and improves erectile function in men. Known also as Epimedium or Yin Yang Huo, horny goat weed was first described in ancient classical Chinese medicinal texts. Today, horny goat weed holds an important place in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is gaining popularity around the world.

I popped the question foremost on my mind. "What do you think about epimedium?" I asked. "Is it truly effective as a sex enhancer?" There were smiles all around, and the affirmative shaking of heads. "Oh, yes, yes," exclaimed Dr. Kuang. "We have all used epimedium for decades in our practices. It is the very best sexual tonic for both men and women."

I probed further. Does the plant truly help with erectile function as some claim? Both Dr. Kuang and Dr. Xiao Tong Shen explained that in clinical practice, they have used epimedium to successfully treat erectile problems, to boost waning libido, and to rebuild youthful sexual vitality. "It gives you back your sexual strength," noted Dr. Kuang with emphasis. Hearing unequivocal confirmation of horny goat weed's sex-enhancing effects from the top docs in China gave me confidence that the plant is the real deal.

Herbs for A Healthy Sex Life

IF you are healthy, everything works. Sexual health relates to unity, a partnership with no coercion, said Dr Mohd Ismail Tamby, an andrologist or specialist in sexual and reproductive health medicine, at a Bio-Life health seminar in Kuala Lumpur recently.

In the tests, three internationally recognised Quality of Life (QOL) scores were used: Ageing Male Symptoms, Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) and Grade of Erection.

Dr Ismail was also there to reveal the positive results in sexual health he had recorded, over a six-week period, after evaluating the response of 50 male subjects to a herbal product containing Horny Goat Weed, ginseng, ginkgo, puncture vine, muira puama, withania and damiana.

“Herbs are food forms that have to be taken every day for some time to see the changes taking place. These bring about positive changes, adapt into your system and improve your level of wellness. This food substance is adaptogen.

“The commonest adaptogen is ginseng, which gives a lot of goodness to your system. It has food functional properties and has been used to boost health. In the supplement for sexual health, most of the herbal extracts are associated with wellness.”

Two of the herbs in the supplement are withania and damiana. Withania acts as an adaptogen to fight the effects of stress. Damiana stimulates the natural desire for sex. “You feel more relaxed, as that part of the body becomes more intense and the drive increases. You are not taking drugs but food which changes something in your body.”

Anabolic steroids can cause male infertility

"Anabolic steroids is one of the major cause of male infertility" - Dr Michael Werner, MD:-

* The use of anabolic androgenic steroids has reached almost epidemic proportions. 6.6% of 12th grade male use or have used them to build muscle mass and improve athletic performance. These male hormones suppress the testes ability to make testosterone. This decreases the intratesticular testosterone level.

* They depress testicular production of testosterone and, thus, levels at testosterone inside the testes itself. This may cause severely diminished spermatogenesis or complete absence of sperm (azoospermia).

* When taken, these steroids cause a persistent depression of the hypothalamus and pituitary which may be irreversible, even when the steroids are stopped.


What are treatment options when there is a poor semen analysis?

Over 50% of men will have a treatable cause of male factor infertility. These factors include varicoceles (dilated veins in the scrotum) infections, hormonal abnormalities, abnormalities in the seminal fluid, ductal blockages, and difficulties with erections and ejaculation. When these conditions are treated, either through medication (hormones, antibiotics), or surgery (varicocelectomy, vasal reconstruction, repair of a blocked ejaculatory duct) a man will often see a significant improvement in his semen analysis.

Those men with poor semen analyses whose conditions are not treatable may still have the option of using advanced reproductive techniques to achieve a pregnancy. Even those men with no sperm in the ejaculate may be able to have some living sperm procured from them through other methods and achieve a pregnancy using advanced reproductive techniques. Those few men who produce absolutely no sperm at all, will have this information so that they can explore other options.

The Miracle of Green Tea

The Benefits Of Green Tea

Green Tea Contains The Following:

Tannins - A group of simple and complex phenol, polyphenol, and flavonoid compounds. Produced by plants, all of the tannins are relatively resistant to digestion or fermentation. All tannins act as astringents, shrinking tissues and contracting structural proteins in the skin and mucosa.

What Does This Do For You?

Having a cup of green tea after a meal can aid in digestion. Green tea has been used for thousand of years in Asia as a digestive.

Catechins - Catechins are a category of polyphenols. In green tea, catechins are present in significant quantities, more specifically; epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG makes up about 10-50% of the total catechin content and appears to be the most powerful of the catechins - with antioxidant activity about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E.

A cup of green tea may provide 10-40mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant activity greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries.

What Does This Do For You?

Well having a powerful anti-oxidant coursing through your system after a heavy workout is just what you need to curb free radical damage.

Bodybuilding & Fitness Uses

Pre-workout - Green tea is a great alternative to the ECA stack. Yeah I know nothing beats the ECA stack but hear me out. A number of people, including myself do not like how the ECA stack makes us feel.

I get jittery and easily angered for some reason. The green tea is great because it does have some caffeine and the Theanine really relaxes you mentally but lets you perform physically.

Cutting - Research suggests that supplementing with green tea can raise your resting metabolic rate by 3%. In order to get this benefit you must have about about 3 glasses a day. If you have a bmr of 2000 or so that means 60 extra calories a day. Why do you see so few obese Asians. Its not the kung-fu. It's the green tea!

What is Peyronie's Disease

Peyronie's disease is characterized by the formation of hardened tissue (fibrosis) in the penis that causes pain, curvature, and distortion, usually during erection. The penis is the male organ for reproduction and urination. It is composed of two columns of erectile tissue (the corpora cavernosa); the corpus spongiosum, which contains the tube that carries urine and semen from the body (urethra); and the sheath that surrounds the erectile tissue (tunica albuginea). In Peyronie's disease, dense, fibrous scar tissue (plaque) forms in the tunica albuginea.

According to a report published in 1995 by the National Institutes of Health, Peyronie's disease occurs in about 1% of men. It is most common between the ages of 45 and 60, but it also occurs in young and elderly men. Prevalence may be higher because of reluctance to seek medical attention for the condition and failure to report in cases with mild symptoms.

Some men are born with a naturally curved penis or develop one during puberty.
A curved / bent penis can:

* Feel uncomfortable for your sexual partner during intercourse
* Cause pain and discomfort during erection or ejaculation
* Disrupt a couple’s physical and emotional relationship
* Lead to lower self-esteem and loss of confidence

It is possible that your partner or past partners have not commented on the curve (to you at least) however if it effects your confidence then why let it continue to be an issue? Especially when you can correct a curved, deformed looking penis without medicine or painful surgery?

Sex Makes People Feel Sexier

Study shows women too are affected by testosterone levels
March 1, 2007 — Sexual activity for men and women, straight or gay, raises testosterone levels, which, at least in women, fuels the desire for intercourse, increases the likelihood of experiencing an orgasm and heightens the individual’s belief in her own sexiness, recent studies have found.

Van Anders, a researcher in the Department of Psychology at Canada’s Simon Fraser University, and her team conducted two separate studies. Both have been accepted for publication in the journal Hormones and Behavior.

The first examined how cuddling, intercourse and exercise affected testosterone in 49 women before and after these activities. "After" included directly following sex as well as the next morning, when the test subjects also answered a questionnaire that included questions about orgasms, levels of sexual desire and feelings of sexual attractiveness.

Overall, the test subjects experienced higher levels of testosterone just before and after cuddling and intercourse, with the greatest rises being associated with copulation. The higher the testosterone rise was, the greater the likelihood was that the woman experienced an orgasm and felt more sexually attractive the next day.
