INTRODUCTION
Since time immemorial, controversies raging between genders have always found their
way into sexuality. In almost every society, the norm, the order or the pattern of life has
seen the man being the head of the home. The man has almost always been seen as the
provider and protector of the family. In the ancient days, the man protected his family
from wild animals, and sought to make shelter or find caves to live in so that his family
would be shielded from elements and other dangerous predators on the prowl. It has
been a duty most men have carried out without much question, as it also seems to be a
responsibility deeply ingrained in their psyche, a responsibility that when carried out
well, brings about a sense of fulfillment and deep satisfaction.
The desire for a man to please his family cuts across borders. It is an intrinsic part of
being a man. It drives men to do exceedingly great feats. Some of historys greatest
endeavors were the result of a man trying to win the heart of a loved one. And no one
is dearer to a man than his wife. When that ability to please his partner disappears, it
causes great distress. It is often a burden that he cannot share with his partner, and one
to which only a few close compatriots may be privy to. But why is it like this?
There are two things in life which very few men compromise or give up on - respect and
pride. Men want to be respected, especially by their partner, children and colleagues.
Men want to feel important, significant, valued, and appreciated. They want to know
that all their hard work is being recognized and that their partner appreciates just how
hard they are working to build a better life for them.
One of the most common causes of depression and suicide among men, is the
overwhelming pressure to provide, protect and please their family. When a man is able
to do the aforementioned, life moves along pretty well. But when things go south and
a man is unable to continue providing for his family, maybe due to a financial crisis or
being laid off from work, it may be very difficult for that man to continue being happy
and content.
When the problem is sexual, and a man is unable to please his partner, this can have a
devastating effect on the relationship. One of the leading causes of sexual frustration in
men, is a common disorder that is spoken of, but not often enough --- erectile
dysfunction.
How People React to Erectile Dysfunction

More than 90 million men worldwide are estimated to suffer from erectile dysfunction
(ED), of which a shocking 90% do not seek medical treatment or any kind of treatment
for that matter, generally out of embarrassment.
ED is largely a curable malady often caused by poor blood flow to the male organ, stress
and following an unhealthy diet. But many are not aware of this and often attribute it to
genetics whilst most have no answer for it, and some even attribute it to black magic!
Close to 80% of people who took part in a study in the US reported saying that during a
general checkup with their doctor, they never considered broaching the subject of ED
for fear of embarrassment and out of fear of finding out that there is no cure!
So just what is this disorder that haunts many a men and threatens intimacy with their
partner? Lets take a closer look at what erectile dysfunction is, and see if we can dispel
some myths in the process.
Erectile Dysfunction Decoded

Weve all sat uncomfortably in class during those high school sex education talks given
by equally uncomfortable teachers who hurriedly rushed through the lesson before
warning sternly of the consequence of premarital sex and sexual promiscuity. Then they
went on to pass around brochures that carried horrific images of people with sexually
transmitted diseases. Lets bust myth number one. Erectile dysfunction is not caused by
a sexually transmitted disease. It is not the result of a virus that you think you
contracted and neither is it caused by your genes. Surprised? Well, you are not the
only one. So what does cause ED?
Allow me to take you back to that sex education class for a minute, but this time we are
going to study the structure of the human male sexual organ.
The human male sexual organ can be divided into two halves named the corpora
cavernosa. Inside of these chambers you will find a special kind of tissue resembling a
sponge which is made up of an intrinsic network of blood vessels.
10
In order for a man to achieve an erection when he is aroused, the blood capillaries must
be functioning well, in other words there must be free flow of blood without disruption.
During an erection, the walls of these blood vessels relax and in so doing, allow free
passage and flow of blood. All this is thanks to messages passed on to nerves in the male
reproductive organ from the main command center, the brain. The blood flowing
through the capillary network in the penis arrives at a high pressure and consequently
leads to an erection.
Hence when all is working in order, the brain issues a series of messages which follow
the spinal cord and are delivered to the nerve endings in the male reproductive organ.
Chemical signals called neurotransmitters are secreted into the blood and these are
responsible for the changes that take place. Firstly, the vessels bringing oxygenated
blood to the corpora cavernosa receive the order to relax. This relaxation consequently
enables the free flow of blood into the penis. The blood entering the penis leads to the
enlargement and stiffening of the organ, leading to an erection.
As you can see, it doesnt take much for one to get an erection. So where does the
problem lie when a man cannot have an erection?
Problems begin to arise when the blood vessels are blocked or damaged somehow.
Another common thing that leads to ED is when nerve endings in the penis are not
functioning properly. The tissues in your organ may also be a contributing factor in ED.
On top of that, the lack of a proper diet more often than not is a contributing factor to
ED.
However, there is nothing to fear, because ED in the majority of cases can be resolved.
And this is exactly what this guide is here to help you do. So as you can clearly see, there
is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or be embarrassed about.
Knowledge is power. Now you know and can potentially help someone else or yourself.
Next time someone shares something like this with you, dont laugh it off or shrug
uncomfortably and try to change the subject. Instead, try to shed a bit more light on the
matter so that the person can get help and get their life back. In addition, if youre going
through ED, you can use the valuable information presented in this book to help resolve
the problem.
So if you think you or someone you know might be struggling with ED, below are some
common symptoms.
11
Tell-tale Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

Erections can occur even without direct sexual stimulation. Wet dreams are a frequent
occurrence, especially amongst young men. However, erections are more commonly a
result of self-stimulation or arousal by being with your sexual partner. Whatever the
stimulation may be, the typical reaction of an aroused man should be an erection, but
when this does not occur, it is often the biggest sign pointing to ED.
As mentioned earlier, ED may be the result of blocked blood flow to the genital area,
but an often overlooked cause of ED may be psychological reasons --- stress is one of the
psychological causes of ED. In addition to stress, lifestyle choices such as eating
unhealthy food also play a huge role in exacerbating ED.
Once stressful situations are resolved and one is still unable to perform sexually, it is
grounds to suspect that there may potentially be something blocking the normal blood
flow to the genitals. Or they may not be eating right. The good part is that we have a
whole diet plan in this book that you can follow to get better.
Major Erectile Dysfunction Causes

In order for a man to have an erection, the following sequence of events must take
place:
The man must be aroused sexually. This automatically triggers the body to respond
according to the stimulus. Messages are relayed back and forth in the body, eventually
leading to increased blood flow towards the genitals. The blood vessels in the groin area
begin to relax, thus allowing blood to flow freely into the erectile tissue around the male
reproductive organ. The veins in this erectile area are tasked to maintain the pressure of
the blood in the penis, causing the male organ to enlarge.
When this sequence of events is somehow disturbed, then problems will likely occur
that lead to ED.
Hence the most documented causes of erectile dysfunction are linked to illnesses that
affect the circulatory system. So, diseases that disturb the steady flow of blood such as
atherosclerosis and venous leakage are two major culprits of ED.
12
Other factors that need to be discussed with patients include looking into the patients
life and trying to determine the level of stress they face. But as previously stated, lifestyle
choices such as what you eat, drink, and how well you maintain your health also play an
integral role in ED.
It is not uncommon for a man to lose his job and experience erectile dysfunction. In fact,
stress related erectile dysfunction cases have gone on to show that if left untreated, the
inability of a man to please his partner can lead to yet another illness (depression), which
will further aggravate the situation. For men in new relationships, one of the biggest
pressures is performance anxiety because they want to please their partner. Also,
injuries to the penis often go unreported and can lead to erectile dysfunction later on
in life.
In older men, age, lack of desire, chronic illness and the train load of medication that
accompanies aging often interferes with the normal working of the penis and genitals.
Peyronies Disease, which creates fibrous scar tissue in the male organ, has also been
discovered to be one of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Unimaginable Inconvenience
Like with many illnesses, ignoring the cause, treatment method and cure of a particular
disease can lead to more worry and unnecessary anxiety. What many people are not
aware of is the fact that erectile dysfunction can be cured with natural methods. So
before you jump to conclusions or allow anyone else for that matter to make
uninformed decisions regarding the matter, it is important to make sure that you and
others around you have a good understanding of the concept.
13
Having a little knowledge can go a long way in avoiding wasting time with needless and
misguided actions, which can actually make things worse. Now in this book we are
going to address how you can make a full recovery and get your full potency back.
But before we begin, we need to point out a few things:

1. You can get better! The advice provided in this book can help you make the
required lifestyle changes to get rid of ED once and for all. Never self-administer
over the counter medication that has not been prescribed and do not mix
medication unless specifically instructed by your physician. In fact, its best to stay
away from medication because it always comes with unwanted side effects.
Instead, you can follow the natural remedies mentioned in this guide to get
better in a matter of weeks.
2. You are not alone. You can and will get through this; you need to believe that the
cure is real and lasting.
3. Having your partner read with you through all the information concerning this
issue may prove to be both, a task that brings you closer, and something that
gives both of you support along the journey to recovery.
This book will not only help you along your journey, but also provide post-journey
advice on how to handle some of the accompanying issues that may arise as a result of
erectile dysfunction. The most important thing you need to remember along is that your
mind will determine just how far you go. If you keep telling yourself negative things,
then your journey may be directly affected by these toxic thoughts. But if you make the
decision to foster positive thoughts, then it will make your life that much simpler.
Complications from Erectile Dysfunction

A couples intimate sex life provides pleasure and brings the two individuals closer on
every level. However, when that area of a couples life is shattered and they have no idea
how to get back to normalcy, this can prove to be a challenge and can lead to a break
up.
The inability to satisfy their partner can be burdensome for a man and it can be
frustrating for the partner. So does it mean that it is the end of your sex life if your
partner is suffering from erectile dysfunction? Thankfully, no, because all it takes is some
knowledge on the subject matter and following the simple advice laid out in this book.
Doing all you can will help you be on your way to perfect health.
14
Men need to realize that erectile dysfunction is highly prevalent. Millions of other men
across the world share the same plight and many of them do not get the necessary help
they need. Other matters pertaining to ones sex life may be rectified, but if a man is
unwilling to discuss issues of his sexuality, then it may pose challenges to his healing
and will be a difficult aspect for their partner to bear.
There is nothing more satisfying, pun intended, than romance and love coming back
into a dying relationship. The aim of this book is to facilitate two people to enjoy the gift
of sex and give themselves to each other with love. This book has been written to help
couples struggling in this area of their lives so that they get back enjoying sex regularly.
If left unchecked, erectile dysfunction can create rifts in a relationship and lead to a
breakup. But thats not all. There are several emotional challenges the man will have to
face, from low self-esteem to anxiety. The man is more likely to suffer in the process and
one of the main things he may face is depression. As a partner reading this book, it will
be wise to understand all these emotional problematic areas your partner may be
struggling with so you can be in a better place to offer comfort and support.
D for Depression
Depression for many years was not acknowledged as a condition that should be
addressed seriously. It is only in the history of recent medicine that doctors have started
really taking and classifying depression as a medical condition that needs treatment and
if left unchecked, can hinder a persons ability to live a normal life. Depression is a
chronic illness. Chronic means that one day you may be feeling completely fine and the
next day you may be feeling suicidal. This is how serious depression can get. Depression
on its own is a matter of concern, but when you combine depression with a man
suffering from erectile dysfunction, you have quite a difficult and sensitive case on your
hands.
Studies have shown time and again that erectile dysfunction and depression are closely
linked, and that men suffering from erectile dysfunction were more prone to suffer from
depression than men who didnt suffer from the problem.
In several studies, it was observed that erectile dysfunction in the majority of cases is
not the primary causative agent of depression. It is just one of the many factors that may
lead to it.
15
As a general rule of thumb, masculinity has almost always been gauged by the sexual
ability of a man, so when this ability is taken away, many men feel like their masculinity
has been taken away from them and do not know how to handle this. So they slip into
depression. Erectile dysfunction may lead to depression which will in turn affect the
mans quality of life, as the mans frustration and deep dissatisfaction with himself will
eat away at his confidence. In turn, relationships may suffer and even the mans work
may suffer as a result of something that many do not understand.
What many men need to understand is that they shouldnt blame themselves for
experiencing erectile dysfunction. Some men begin to ask themselves if they are normal
and put blame on themselves for something that may be beyond their control.
Something to think about --- depression can be brought about by a man experiencing
erectile dysfunction. A man suffering from erectile dysfunction can begin to feel like his
confidence has been shattered and this may lead to depression. Its a terrible cycle that
needs to be broken by shedding light on the matter.
Fortunately this is not the end of the road. This book is here to help guide you in terms
of how erectile dysfunction can be cured and how to get your life back on track. This all
will eventually bring back the joy into your relationship!

Chapter 1: The History of Erectile Dysfunction

Herbal Cures and Other Eccentricities
rectile dysfunction or as the condition was known in the past, impotence, is not a
state new to man. In fact, scores of scientists, herbalists, physicians and medical
practitioners over the years gave themselves over to the science of trying to
understand impotence and find a solution.
There were many who spoke about natural means of curing the ailment and sought to
remedy the situation with herbs and other plants.
None is more referenced than the first-century scientist, Pliny, who spoke in great
lengths about the different types of aphrodisiacs that were supposed to cure
impotence. The cures that Pliny offered were not the sweetest to the palate, but if one
insisted on following through with them, they were told to brace themselves.
How about some garlic dissolved in wine consumed with coriander? If you are not an
alcohol person, then lets replace the wine with some water that has been used to boil
wild asparagus in it. Garlic not doing it for you? Then why not try Cyprian reed in wine
again, or perhaps even the leaves of clematis which this time are eaten whilst sipping
vinegar? Dont find any of these things appetizing? Dont worry, Pliny still has more up
his sleeve, perchance the cremnos agrios plant crushed in pearl barley will do the trick!
If you found any of Plinys recommendations less than pleasant, then I am afraid that
you would have disliked living during the Greek and Roman times, or at least disliked
their impotence medication. The Greeks and Romans, we have to hand it to them, came
up with the most ingenious assumptions about potential cures and remedies, but
perhaps took them a bit too far. For example, taking medicine made from snake parts
doesnt quite sit well with us. The Greeks and Romans believed that since snakes have
the incredible ability to rejuvenate themselves, then perhaps that ability may be
transferred to humans if certain parts of the snake were used in medicine.
Thats not all. How about a classic entre of goat and rooster genitalia for starters? We
bet they didnt tell you what you were eating and simply encouraged you to eat it as it
was medicine that would bring the excitement back into your life and for any
desperate man, it would have been enough to try.
17
Lizards, especially the larger ones like the skink, were also part of the meals and were
consumed with great gusto in a flurry of white wine so you were too drunk to know
what you were eating.
The fascination with animal parts didnt end in earlier times and surprisingly, youll find
middle age friars recommending wolf penis as a cure for impotence. One such friar of
note who stands out in history is Albertus Magnus, who explicitly detailed how the
wolfs penis was to be prepared and consumed in his 13th century classic De Animalibus.
One had to cut up the meat into small portions and then roast in the oven, and once
done, eat a few pieces which supposedly should have one ready to go almost
immediately!
Even sparrows and starfish were included in the list of animals considered as
aphrodisiacs and capable of restoring a mans virility.
The sheer desperation of men led some to come up with concoctions of elixirs they
sold to people who believed these potions would work. One such school of thought
was propagated by the 1739 Ladies Physical Directory club that led many to believe that
their elixir would do the trick and heal men. No recorded documents ever point to how
their elixir did except for their very flowery promise of what the potion would do for
men --- allowing men to prolong the embrace and in this manner provide their partners
with proper dalliance to raise their inclination.
As the turn of the nineteenth century dawned, the search for a cure continued and now
doctors were in the game too, making promises with their syrups and mixes. Dr. Brodum
was popular for his Nervous Cordial & Botanical Syrup and so was Samuel-Auguste
Tissot who had his own set of medicine called the Cordial Balm of Gilead. These doctors
you can say were the forerunners of todays erectile dysfunction pharmaceutical giants.
Like today, there were those who advocated the use of cannabis as the cure for all
ailments including impotence. At the forefront of this school of thought was Frederick
Hollick, who genuinely believed that the use of cannabis would not only bring about
the sexual prowess of a man, but would also provide him with other useful abilities
during intercourse!
As the decades wore on, more and more doctors continued with experiments in the
erectile dysfunction area and many tonics and stimulants were introduced. As can be
assumed, not all of them were rigorously tested to provide the best effects. Some of
these so called tonics actually did more harm than good, but then there was no FDA to
standardize supplements and look into the health and safety aspects of all medication
being sold.
18
Just before the turn of the millennium, one of the biggest and most popular erectile
dysfunction drugs to ever grace the human race was released --- Viagra. Viagra in a pill,
combined all the work that many had been trying to do over the centuries. It continues
to be one of the favored forms of oral medication approved by the Food and Drug
Administration of America.
Viagra is not only one of the most popular and well known drugs on the market, but it
also enjoyed exclusive rights as the sole leading erectile dysfunction drug worth over
one billion dollars in sales annually until competitors entered the market in 2003.
So for about five years, Pfizer enjoyed free reign in that area of the pharmaceutical
industry until rival companies started producing their own erectile dysfunction drugs.
Today, some of the chief competitors are Eli Lillys Cialis and Bayer AGs Levitra.
The Mechanics of Historic Cures

Physicists, not wanting to be left out, also took to devising their own witty inventions
which left much to be desired. Scientists tried everything from using magnetism to
electrical beds to cure flaccidity. Some even went as far as to use the mechanics of
electrical force to explain how erections occur and hence justify using electrical means
in healing methods. One such maverick was John J. Caldwell. But none were as eccentric
as the French physicist Vincent Marie Mondat, who literally created a vacuum pump that
drew blood to the penis and induced an erection.
Two World Wars could not stop scientists from carrying on with their work, and between
1914 and 1945, work continued on trying to find a cure for erectile dysfunction. In the
grand scale of things, the ability to produce an erection at whatever cost resulted in
some of the strangest sex aids ever created. Forget the comfort of your partner, as long
as you can get and maintain an erection. Such was the thinking of many a scientist as
some of the inventions created during this period were probably more satisfying for
women than men.
Scientists came up with all sorts of inventions like Loewensteins Coitus Training Device,
which was a tube of sorts that was worn over the penis prior to sexual intercourse.
Loewenstein argued that the penis could be trained to harden with time and the device
would no longer be a requisite.
Some scientists began to perform transplant surgeries, with the eccentric Dr. G Frank
Lydston operating on himself in 1914, grafting the entire testicle of a dead man onto
himself.
19
American scientists were not the only ones doing such surgeries as French and Russian
scientists were also in the race to find a cure. In 1919 Russian scientist Serge Voronoff
caused a major controversy as he reported how he had transplanted chimpanzee testes
into several men whose sex drives and libido were improved, as he claimed.
In America, the implantation of silicon rods became common procedures in the 70s,
although it is said these rods were not approved by the FDA. As a result, many men
suffered from infections and sadly even after the implants, most still experienced failure.
The Psychology of Erectile Dysfunction

Getting an erection is not only psychological, but also physiological. However, it is
important for a man to be stimulated and be in an environment that gets him excited.
This concept was fully appreciated and embraced by 4th century scientist Priscianus,
who encouraged impotent men to throw themselves into an environment that would
sexually stimulate them. He proposed that the man should be in a place where he can
visually see beautiful women and should read erotic literature. This was Priscianus
foolproof method.
Some Romans were very superstitious and wore amulets and talismans in a bid to ward
off evil. These talismans included wearing crocodile teeth. Praying to the different gods
was also said to ensure a mans ability to sustain himself. However, since science had
not progressed back then as much as it has now, people didnt understand that
physiological reasons were also behind the onset of ED.
Just to show how gullible people can be, Nicholas Culpeper and Jane Sharp propagated
that men should urinate through their wifes wedding ring to ward off evil. In France
this idea even stretched to the thought that urinating through the keyhole of the church
door in which one got married would allow a man to get rid of his impotence.
Dont Be Ashamed of Erectile Dysfunction

Men have always taken pride in their ability to please their partner, and when this innate
ability to satisfy ones partner is taken away, it is often a great emotional burden for a
man to bear. However, the notion that it is a mans ability to please their partner is what
makes him a man should be discarded because there is more to what makes a good
man. What is the use of having a great partner who can please you sexually but is
completely irresponsible in all other areas of life?
20
It is hard for a partner to respect such a man and make love someone they cannot
respect. A man who is willing to bear his familys responsibility, provide, protect and
care for his family is what makes him more attractive to a partner and can make the sex
even greater! The recovery process is not just about reading this book, it also means
improving all other aspects as a man and becoming a better person in the process.
21
Chapter 2: Busting Myths about Erectile Dysfunction
rectile dysfunction, or impotence as it was formally called, has generated quite

some interest over the centuries. The subject area has and still continues to be a
topic of great discussion, and when something generates this much interest, old
wives tales and myths are bound to surface. It is no wonder erectile dysfunction is still
being viewed in a negative light and with much misunderstanding.
In days gone by, the main culprit blamed for impotence was what Swiss physician
Samuel Tissot referred to as onanism, what we now call masturbation. Tissot was a
learned man and his views were generally accepted. As a man of faith, a statesman and
scientist, Tissots ideas held much interest and drew a following of their own. Hence in
1760, he began writing a book on masturbation, which was later published in 1832. In
the book he spoke of remedies and a cure for the resulting impotence that follows such
an activity. Among some of Tissots remedies for impotency was the administration of
cold baths, taking a range of tonics from cinchona to Sulph of Quinine and improving
ones diet. Whilst his methods had some success, they are not encouraged in modern
times.
Breaking Away From Myth and Bringing Out the Facts

Desperation can lead even the most learned of people to undertake risky and costly
endeavors in a bid to be normal again. The strong link between a mans pride and his
ability to perform sexually should not be underplayed nor undervalued. The company
that manufactures Viagra saw the immense opportunity and market that these people
symbolized and sat down to research this age old topic.
But before Viagra came, there were points of reference that people went to.
Witchdoctors, shaman, and native doctors provided services to their clientele but they
are also to blame for many of the myths that surround this sensitive topic. Just what are
some of those tales that have been propagated from generation to generation? Below
are some myths that we have heard and we have presented them with their
corresponding truths so you can see just how devastating myths can be.
22
Myth 1: Masturbation causes Erectile Dysfunction

Masturbation by itself doesnt cause erectile dysfunction on a long term basis. However,
masturbation and pornography have been known to temporarily cause erectile
dysfunction, but if discontinued for a period of time, one should be able to gain normal
potency.
Fact: Self-love is a normal and healthy part of sexuality, but when over-done, it can lead
to a temporary state where you cannot reach an erection. Masturbation is referred to as
being over-done when it begins to interfere with daily activities such as work, family
time, and relationships with loved ones. It is of concern if it begins to give you emotional
problems where you cannot think of anything else but sex.
Myth 2: There is no cure for erectile dysfunction

Since erectile dysfunction has generally been a condition that very few people ever
speak of, those suffering from it generally have no idea about the truth, which is that it
is perfectly curable. We have and will continue to provide you more methods to battle
ED throughout this book.
Fact: Erectile dysfunction can be cured using natural methods
Myth 3: I am doomed to a life of taking pills

Ever since the dawn of Viagra and other performance-enhancing pills on the market,
this is all people seem to think there is when it comes to curing erectile dysfunction. The
answer could not be further from the truth.
Fact: This book has been written to specifically target the area that is left out of the
picture, the natural way to cure erectile dysfunction without the need to take pills.
23
Myth 4: Something must be wrong with me as a man

Erectile dysfunction happens to men of all ages and it is no reflection of how manly or
unmanly you are. The causes of impotence may be different from man to man. So it is
important to stand back and look at your life to see what is causing your erectile
dysfunction. Perhaps its simply the stress of having to change jobs, the death of a close
friend, or following an unhealthy diet. Whatever the cause, there is nothing wrong with
you as a man for going through this.
Fact: More than 100 million men the world over experience erectile dysfunction at some
point in their lives.
Myth 5: I should just accept erectile dysfunction as a part of the

aging process
As we get older, it tends to become easier to let certain things go. For most, having high
blood pressure seems to be an accepted hallmark of age. However, erectile dysfunction
is not one of those illnesses you should simply accept and do nothing about.
Fact: Never at any age should a man accept erectile dysfunction as a way of life. Its a
totally curable illness and simply involves taking better care of ones health and eating
the right things mentioned later in this book.
Surely Viagra can solve that issue, right? Wrong.
Whilst the issue of erectile dysfunction can be largely traced to the physical aspect,
which is poor blood flow to the penis, it is not the sole cause of ED. There are other
causes which are more related to emotions and psychology.
Viagra may help bring blood flow back to your genitals, but it wont help you solve your
other problems. So your boss is giving you a hard time at work and has spoken about
you being laid off. You have three kids and a wife who depends on you to put the bacon
on the table, what are you going to do? You cannot afford to tell your wife that they are
laying you off. Neither can you tell your golf buddies or anyone for that matter, but its
eating you up inside. You wife has tried to make love to you several times now but your
mind just isnt in the right place and you cant satisfy her. Now your wife is mad at you
and you are angry at the world and with yourself.
24
Or consider that all you eat is junk food and your diet contains few to no nutritional
foods. With your body not receiving the nutrients it requires, you cant expect ED to just
go away.
Can you see how pills will not solve this situation? What we are proposing in this book
is a healing method that will bring you peace and restore your relationship with your
partner, while working to make you a better man all around.
Am I able to increase my Penis Size?

If we had the supplement, pill, or tonic to increase your manhood, then we would be
billionaires! Sadly there is no such thing out to increase the size of your penis except,
and this we say for those who are brave enough, surgery. Yes men, the only way that we
know of is surgery. There are no magic creams, formulas or tonics you can use to enlarge
your penis. This is not saying that we havent seen those ads. We have seen innumerable
adverts offline and online that boast about products you can use to enlarge the male
sexual organ.
What always fascinates us is the fact that we have personally never met any such men
who are willing to speak freely about their experience. Nor have these companies
allowed us to speak to their clients who are happy with the product. Thankfully, not a
lot of men would dare go under the knife to lengthen their manhood. After all is said
and done, most men would rather keep what they already have than go through
surgery and face possible complications.
Only Old Men Suffer From Erectile Dysfunction

Being 85 and not being able to maintain a steady erection is not something that can be
frowned upon, but being 30 and struggling to keep your soldier at attention is
completely another ball game. At 85 years of age, one is likely to be on a roller coaster
of medication which can affect a mans ability to maintain an erection. But at 30,
unfortunately the times we live in now, so many young men suffer from depression and
other ailments that typically shouldnt be ailing men of their age. Because of obesity,
some men are suffering from erectile dysfunction. Never at any age should erectile
dysfunction be looked at as something normal. Even at 85, one should see just what is
causing the problem.
25
If its medication, it can be adjusted. If its stress, that too can be resolved. If you need to
eat better food, which you definitely do, weve got you covered later in this book.
Whatever it is, it needs to be rectified so the man can resume having sex and enjoy his
sex life.
Lets Get Your Head On Straight

When a man cannot please his partner, it gets to his head. He begins to think that there
is something wrong with him. He may think that he is not man enough. He doesnt need
to get attacked by his friends and co-workers about it. It can become unbearable if his
partner joins in and makes him feel inadequate. That can totally destroy a mans
confidence. These are just some of the reasons why most men keep their problem a
secret and try to get help without other people knowing. But letting your partner in can
actually be a source of both comfort and support, as you know that you are not going
through this alone.
Is this the end of my sex life?

Our sex drive remains active even as we get older, and never at any time should you feel
that you are too old for sex. Some men think that because of their age, erectile
dysfunction is one of lifes moments to tell them that they should slow down on the sex
and just settle into their twilight years. Nothing could be further from the truth! Our
sexuality is a part of us till we die! Our libido can wane with age, but it does not mean
that is the end. Whilst non-psychological problems like diabetes and high blood
pressure can affect your potency, that doesnt mean you cannot use ED remedies
mentioned in this book to help you out! The earlier you start your journey to recovery,
the better.

Chapter 3: Regaining Lost Manhood
othing rekindles a sense that everything is going to be alright than reading the
success stories of others. Below we have outlined some of the stories from our
clients who have gone through this book and have seen the restoration of their
manhood. As you will read, for many the journey wasnt always easy or smooth, but with
a little determination and effort, the results have been indisputable. If you have been
thinking that this is the end of your sex life, think again, because this book is here to
bring back the joy of sex in your life!
Testimonial 1:
This man was highly successful by the age of 58. He worked hard all his life, and had
been able to buy a house in one of the better suburbs in his state. He had married his
childhood sweetheart and together they brought a little girl, who is their ultimate joy,
into the world. Their world had revolved around her life, until she grew up and moved
away for college. So at the onset of a potential new start in their life, George thought
that he and his wife could rekindle the love that they shared in the past and go back to
their wild and fun times together. All those dreams were shattered however, when
George discovered that he was suffering from erectile dysfunction. Here is how he
described the situation:
I met my wife when I was fourteen. She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen, and I
distinctly remember running back home and saying to my mom, Mom, I have met the
girl for me and I am gonna marry her! My mother simply laughed, but years later,
Rosaline and I got married and what a life we lived those first few years of marriage!
Three years into our marriage, Rosaline found out she was pregnant. I was beyond
ecstatic and couldnt wait to be a father. When our daughter was born, it seemed like
nothing in the world had mattered up until this moment.
I wanted to be her hero. I wanted to be around for her every waking moment. I worked
even harder and provided everything I could for my little family. Life was great. When
our daughter moved out for college, it was the first time I realized just how much time
had passed, and how much older I was! I thought that it was time to go on that long
awaited cruise that my wife had always wanted to try, so I made reservations and
booked dates.
27
Our vacation didnt quite begin as planned however. As to my dismay, each time my
wife and I tried to make love, I found out that I couldnt maintain myself during
intercourse.
Bless my wife, she was so understanding and didnt press the matter further. But it really
bothered me. I couldnt understand what was wrong with me, and this made me angry.
I soon started to lash out at my wife for no apparent reason and within no time, she
grew frustrated with me. It was a mess that I had created and I felt completely hopeless.
I didnt know how to make things right again. I had almost given up on life, until Rosaline
started reading more on the topic. Soon we came across the meal plan and diet plan
laid out in this book and that really got the ball rolling again for us. I must confess that
at first I followed the plan somewhat half-heartedly, but as we started seeing results, I
continued with even more enthusiasm and I am happy to say that I am completely
cured. In fact, I have been meaning to do that cruise experience with Rosaline all over
again and this time, I am going to do things right!
28
Testimonial 2:
Are you that guy who is the heart and soul of every party? Meet Jake, a 30-year old
former pro football player who is still in good shape and has a face girls swoon over.
What happens to a man like Jake when he discovers that his life is about to be turned
upside down? Here is his account:
Talk about hitting rock bottom or being caught between a rock and a hard place. That
was my life before I came across this book. I have always been a fun guy, I mean at least
thats what people around me tell me. I think of myself as a charismatic guy and the
ladies seemed to love that about me. That was until I discovered I was suffering from
diabetes.
I am telling you, this is not a joke. I had been living a very healthy and active lifestyle and
was only 30 when my doctor told me that I was suffering from Type 1 Diabetes. Now if
you are like me, you hate being sick with anything. My life flashed before my eyes as the
doctor sat across me and started telling me in great detail the things I should look out
for, now that I was a diabetes patient. He fired them off one by one; potential problems
with my eyes, liver, kidneys, heart and erectile dysfunction. I must say when he got to
that one, I was embarrassed for days but had to clarify what he meant. So I asked. Well
Jake, its not the end of the world he started, but to be honest everything he said after
that went in one ear and came out the other. I walked out of there feeling like my world
had just been pulled from underneath my feet.
The next few weeks were probably the hardest in my life. I could barely muster up the
courage to talk to women anymore. My self-esteem and confidence had plummeted. I
became desperate and looked online and offline for anything that could make me
normal again. I can give you a list of everything I tried, there is almost nothing that I
didnt give a shot. I tried taking oral tablets. But I vomited after taking them because I
could never keep them down. Needle injections were the worst because I have a phobia
of needles. The vacuum pump, wow, what an invention! The vacuum pump did what it
promised to do, but it was so much work getting an erection that would disappear
within seconds of being removed from the pump. My life was a nightmare.
It was on a lonely night when I decided to stay in since all the boys had gone for drinks.
I was online and came across this dietary plan. This plan changed my life completely. I
mean I had tried everything and this looked simple enough compared to what I had
done before, so I gave it a go and never looked back. This plan has done wonders in my
life. I do not know what I would have done had I not come across it.
29
All I will say to you is, this is not the end of the world! You can do something about
erectile dysfunction and it is only your will power that will determine how much you
want to get back to your former self. The plan here is all natural. You dont lose a thing
by trying. Take it from someone who has been there. This plan works!

Chapter 4: The Current Treatment Methods on the

Market
e are now going to take a look at some of the more commonly available and
most widely prescribed pharmaceutical drugs that treat ED.
Erectile dysfunction is best dealt with as a couple because the journey will
require your partner to be understanding and supportive as you work to get yourself
together. When ED is linked to emotional issues such as stress and anxiety, it is even
more necessary for a couple to go through the counseling process together.
In the past, the norm was that the man would get a penile implant that came with longterm psychotherapy, but now the penile implant is no longer a necessity unless the
patient desires it. Nowadays, there are more natural ways of treating ED, but the most
common and widely looked at methods of treatment are prescription meds. While in no
shape or form do we encourage the use of prescription meds, we have tried our best to
make this guide as comprehensive as possible. So we will still definitely include the
valuable tips and meal plan you need to follow to cure ED, but at the same time, you
should know whats out there to be better informed.
Erectile Dysfunction Prescription Medication

In the United States, and on the entire erectile dysfunction market, there are only three
prescription drugs that are prescribed under FDA approval. The three heavyweights
used to battle the physical causes of ED in no particular order are tadalafil more
commonly known as Cialis, sildenafil citrate also known by its highly popular name
Viagra, and vardenafil which is also called Levitra.
The popularity of these drugs stems from the fact that a high percentage of men who
use these drugs get results. To be precise, three out of every four men who use these
drugs will have normal sexual relations with their partner. As far as side effects are
concerned, thats a whole different ballgame because hundreds of thousands of users
have complained about various issues after taking these pills.
In men who suffer from diabetes, the percentage of men who were able to take any one
of the three drugs was far lower than men who do not suffer from diabetes. So long
story short, if you have diabetes, Viagra is not your best option.
31
Here we must make a note and say that the drugs themselves are not capable of giving
a man an erection. Taking a Viagra pill does not mean that a man will get an erection
immediately. What these drugs do is allow nitric oxide to kick into play, allowing
muscles in the penis to relax which permits blood to move freely. The man still requires
sexual stimulation for things to proceed as normal.
When should you take these pills?

Ideally Viagra and Levitra should be taken up to an hour before intercourse. They allow
the man to be active for a good four hours. Tadalafil takes the winning cup and the
effects only start wearing off after 36 hours!
A word of caution however --- After taking this medication, a man must have intercourse
only once in 24 hours. So as you can see, there are far too many conditions and
specifications to adhere to when taking these prescribed medications. What we
promote is a natural and healthy way to boost your sexual performance, without having
to rely on pills or medication and their dangerous consequences.
Viagra first went public in 1998. Before that the main dominant drug on the market had
been alprostadil, which was not an oral medication, but one that had to be injected into
the penis or via the urethra (ouch!) Viagra dominated the market for the next five years
and the total market price of the three new drugs combined exceeded $3.4 billion by
2004. Viagra continued to dominate for the next couple of years, having more than 50%
of the entire market share to itself.
But just what is in these drugs and how do they really work? Lets take a closer look at
the three super power drugs below:
Viagra
Probably the worlds most popular sexual performance drug, Viagra has come a long
way, and interestingly enough did not originally start off as a drug for erectile
dysfunction. Viagra, sildenafil citrate, has its origins in the early 90s, 1991 to be precise.
The drug was registered as a treatment for chest pain. Yes, chest pain. However, the
longer the drug stayed on the market, the more its manufacturers realized its potential
as more people reported that it brought about another totally unexpected reaction, an
erection. So Viagra came to be the medication we know of, that has continued to be
prescribed for erectile dysfunction since 1998.
32
The FDA approved the medication and to date more than 30 million men the world over
have used Viagra at some point in their lives.
Quick Facts on Viagra:

Viagra is an oral pill which is taken with some form of liquid. (Viagra should always be
taken before you eat anything, best taken on a completely empty stomach. Avoid any
greasy foods as these may affect the absorption of Viagra into the body). Viagra uses
the chemical nitric oxide to dilate blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to
flow to the organ. The nitric oxide causes muscles in the penis to relax so more blood
flows in. This results in the hardening of the penis --- voil an erection!
Viagra, just like any other drug, has a recommended dosage. You should not take more
than what is prescribed. The normal amount to take is 50mg. Pharmacies usually sell
Viagra in doses of 25mg, 50mg and 100mg.
Because of its potent nature, Viagra should be taken up to one hour before any sexual
activity. Viagra will remain active in your system for four hours after you take it.
Many men make the assumption that Viagra increases libido --- it doesnt and neither
does it cause erections automatically. In order to achieve your best while using Viagra,
ask your partner to stimulate you until you are sexually aroused. This way Viagra will be
given a chance to work and allow you to have sex.
A word of warning and caution --- If you suffer from cardiovascular disease or have low
blood pressure, get professional advice before taking any Viagra, this is especially
important for men over 65. Always read the label carefully because there are many other
side effects and conditions which may prevent you from taking the pill.
Viagra pills bear a $10 cost per pill.
Levitra:
After having enjoyed a successful five years of being the sole ranger and player in the
erectile dysfunction game, Viagra saw one of its very first competitors make an entry
point. The new kid on the block was called Levitra. Levitra came out in 2003 and to date
still remains one of the chief competitors and rivals of Viagra. Upon its approval by the
FDA, Levitra was soon a prescribed drug.
33
The drug works on the same concept and principle as Viagra. Levitra aids blood flow in
the direction of the penis and helps a man get hard and maintain his erection during
intercourse.
It should be taken up to an hour before a man plans to get together with his sexual
partner. This drug has been known to work faster than any of the other two, with men
during clinical trials having reported that some even got an erection 25 minutes after
taking the pill.
Levitra has some advantages over Viagra. It has the ability to work alongside other
illnesses such as diabetes and can be taken by a man who had prostate surgery. These
are important factors that lead doctors to recommend it over other ED drugs on the
market.
Levitra does have its drawbacks though. These include the fact that it should never be
combined with chest pain medication which contains nitrates. Levitra should not be
used in conjunction with alpha-blockers (medication that works for men with elevated
blood pressure or prostate issues).
Levitra is available from pharmacies in 2.5mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20mg dosage tablets.
Take only one dosage a day.
Levitra pills cost about the same as Viagra pills - $10 a pill.
Cialis:
Released the same year as Levitra, Cialis is the don of ED drugs on the market. Where
Viagra and Levitra only work for four hours, Cialis does eight times that amount and can
go up to an impressive 36 hours of active service.
Cialis is an oral medication whose absorption into the blood system is not affected by
fatty or greasy food, so it does not need to be taken on an empty stomach the way
Viagra does. However Cialis does have its own drawbacks, which can be rather
unpleasant. These side effects include the man getting an upset stomach, feeling pain
in the back and muscles and also experiencing headaches.
Working in a similar fashion to its counterparts, Cialis encourages an increase in the flow
of blood to the penis as a man becomes aroused. Proven clinically to improve erections
whether the man is suffering from mild to severe ED, Cialis continues to be one of the
top prescribed erectile dysfunction drugs.
34
Every one of the three drugs has its own downsides. The side effects of Cialis are
generally experienced within 12 to 24 hours of taking the drug, however the symptoms
and pain tend to disappear after two days. Like a hangover really doesnt have a cure,
you just have to wait it out and ride the pain until its gone.
The recommended dosage that one should ideally start with is 10mg of Cialis. When
purchasing these pills, you may purchase them in the 5mg, 10mg or 20mg options.
Cialis should not be taken more than once a day.
The cost of a Cialis pill is the same as that of the other two - $10 per pill.
Consequences of taking ED medication

There is a condition that is spoken of little when one begins to take these drugs,
Priapism. Priapism is almost an irony to the situation because it refers to a state where a
man continues to have an erection even after he has finished making love to his partner.
So from failing to have an erection, now he has an erection for a prolonged period of
time. So forget about heading out anywhere immediately after having sex.
But as tempted as one would be to find the situation ludicrous, the situation is far from
funny because it is actually a very serious state that may lead to damage of the penis.
This prolonged erection, if not addressed, could lead to the man hurting his penis and
leading to an even graver problem --- permanent impotence.
Vascular Conditions and ED Medication

The last thing anyone wants is to have a partner pass away during such an intimate
moment. We know that it is not a pleasant thought, but it has happened. Men, usually
over the age of 65, suffering from a vascular condition, have taken one of these three
pills and over exerted themselves during love making. They ended up with a heart
attack because their heart just couldnt handle the pressure.
You may be wondering if this is actually possible. We assure you it is.
35
In a healthy individual, sexual activity will have them breathing heavily after passionate
exertion. When one suffers from heart problems which dictate that they shouldnt exert
themselves too much, they need to be very careful about how fast their heart is beating.
Men over 65 or men with cardiovascular conditions are at high risk when taking the
above-mentioned medications.
Erectile dysfunction drugs are very potent and should not be taken by men who do NOT
suffer from ED, and neither are they meant for women or children.
Should you feel light-headed or pain in your arms and chest during love making, you
are advised to refrain from going any further and should stop immediately. If anything
of this nature happens, talk to your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
It is also worth noting that with all three drugs, it is advised and recommended that one
begin at the lowest dosage possible and increase as needed.
All of the medication mentioned in this chapter is prescribed by a doctor. For your own
safety, never alter the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider, unless otherwise
instructed to do so. Never use the medication for any other purpose except that which
it was stipulated for. Always keep medication in a place that is out of reach of children.
36
Chapter 5: Alternative Treatment Options
ialis, Levitra and Viagra are some options people take to battle ED, but that is for
cases when ED has a physical cause. In addition, these pills are for people who
have not tried the natural route to being cured and simply want to pop pills to
have sex.
While it may seem convenient, taking these pills has its long list of hazards, which we
mentioned in the previous chapter. In addition, you have to take far too many
precautions such as not being able to go out for the next few hours after taking these
pills because youre stuck with an unwanted erection.
ED, as we have seen, can be caused by physical or psychological reasons. And as we
have also addressed in previous chapters, the physical causes of ED can be dealt with
effectively to some degree by the three commercially available and largely successful
drugs on the market.
However, what happens when a mans ED is not caused by a physical problem per se?
What if a man is going through the stress of having to change jobs because he has
decided to relocate? There are so many pressures that can weigh a man down; pressures
that he might not have the courage to tell his partner or anxiety he might carry but feels
too embarrassed to share with anyone. The man may also be eating the wrong types of
food, which eventually disallow him to perform in bed. Whatever the cause may be, the
stress and anxiety will eventually take its toll on the man and will begin to manifest itself
in small ways. ED becomes apparent when the man fails to become hard nearly 50% of
the time he wants to make love with his partner.
What makes this type of ED hard to deal with is the fact that the man needs to be open
to counseling and allow himself to get the necessary help so that he can resume normal
sexual relations. If not dealt with, the pent up sexual frustration and tension can wear
down a relationship. Especially a relationship where the partner is not aware of what
the man is going through.
We are going to look at some other more traditional forms of treatment that have been
used over the decades and continue to be used even today.
37
Vacuum Pump Therapy

Using this pump takes patience and dedication, but it is possible to obtain the desired
results (erection). In a transparent cylinder, the man inserts his penis and through the
use of a pump he forces air out of the cylinder, creating a vacuum around his penis
which aids in drawing blood into the erectile tissue. With an erection forming this way,
the man then places a particular ring specially designed for this purpose over the base
of his shaft in order to trap blood inside his penis.
The pump works if you have plenty of patience. It is to be noted however that if the
vacuum is allowed to remain on for a prolonged period of time, then the man may suffer
bruises on genitals.
Injection Therapy
This is probably one of the more painful options on the list. Injection therapy is when a
man must inject chemicals into his penis, which aid better flow of blood and allow him
to have an erection. In 1995, Caverject was approved by the FDA as one of the very first
injection drugs. Another drug that was also approved is papaverine. Both of these drugs
are injected into the penis minutes before intercourse.
The downside to these two solutions is that they cause terribly painful erections and in
rare cases, the erection continues way after the sexual intercourse. It often ends up
needing medical attention. Not to mention, it probably wont get you and your partner
in the mood when you have to use a needle to inject yourself with a chemical before
sex.
When inserted into the penis, the drugs require about ten minutes until they work. This
solution will generally last for up to an hour. All in all, the process of injecting the drugs
and waiting for them to kick in is rather painful and makes this one of the least favored
options for ED.
Implantable Penile Prostheses

Surgery on the penis often means that you will never be able to have a natural erection
again. This is why this option is usually one of the very, very last options on the list of
dealing with ED.
38
If you are considering this, it means you understand that the surgeon will implant into
your corpora cavernosa a semi-firm penile prosthesis which is made from silicone rods.
These rods are flexible and bend as the need arises. There is also a pump that is placed
in your scrotum and you can squeeze it, giving room for it to inflate and deflate. You
should be able to resume normal sexual relations within eight weeks of having surgery.
Once you have had this surgery, it is very hard to go back to your normal self.
This kind of apparatus works but the main downside is its inability to be completely
hidden behind clothes.
Surgery is always a big step and one that should be weighed with all due diligence,
thoughtfulness and careful deliberation.
Once a man has received all the information he needs to about the surgery, then he can
proceed to carefully weigh his options and once he is settled, he can proceed with his
decision to undergo surgery. However, we think that surgery is far too invasive and its
an easier option to use the natural methods described in this book to get rid of ED.
39
Chapter 6: A More Natural Approach
ou may have read up on all the main commercial products available and have
decided to opt for a more natural means to treat your ED. There are several
natural and traditional medicines and practices used to treat ED, but it is worth
noting that there are no concrete scientific studies done on any of the methods written
below.
The methods and herbs are vast, from acupuncture to drinking ginseng tea, right down
to pomegranate juice, men have looked into all sorts of things in a bid to find a more
natural way to treat ED.
This is not to say that there are no
studies out there. Studies exist, but
they are not the kind of studies that
you should stake your life on. A study
should focus on quality and should
bring out an honest assessment of the
substance being studied. These
notions are supported by Dr. Andrew
McCullough, one of the associate
professors at New York University
who firmly believes that just because
evidence exists, doesnt automatically
make that evidence good.
Dr. McCulloughs thoughts are well

intended as more than 30 million men
in America are assumed to suffer from
ED and many are looking for quick
and effective treatment methods. Dr.
McCullough, as one of the chief
researchers on the initial clinical
studies done for Viagra, also points
out just how important it is to get
good counseling and screening for other diseases before going down this natural path.
40
This is because in seven out of ten cases, ED is not a lone illness, but is linked to a bigger
condition such as vascular, kidney or neurological diseases. Or it may be caused by
ailments that stem from eating unhealthy food.
Take time to discuss matters with your partner or just time to reflect on your own, then
make your choice. Dont rush into anything because your treatment option should best
reflect your interests to make sure that you are committed to getting better.
Dr. Steven Lamm, a New York City impotence expert defines the different orders of
impotence from mild ED. Obviously the treatment options for all ED cases may not
necessarily be the same, but the underlying factor that we encourage and present in
this book is eating healthy and following a specific diet. Nonetheless, for the sake of
knowledge, lets discuss some herbal treatments people have used to battle ED.
Yohimbe
Yohimbe is a herb whose origins can be traced to the bark of the tree bearing the same
name found in West African countries. Corynanthe yohimbe, as a natural treatment
option, has been available in Europe for more than 80 years and was only approved by
the FDA in the 80s.
The herb has now been commercialized and is sold as an over-the-counter ED treatment
prescription medicine under brand names such as Yohimex and Erex.
With no specific medical research to back up its claims, Yohimbe is believed to work the
same way as big name ED drugs like Cialis, but on a much smaller basis and with a
response time that takes up to six weeks to kick in.
Yohimbe is thought to cause blood vessels in the erectile tissue to relax and thus allow
blood to flow more freely. It is also supposed to stop the blood from flowing out,
allowing men to experience an erection.
Not only does it have this muscle relaxing effect, but Yohimbe is also thought to play a
role around the lower spinal cord responsible for the transmission of sexual signals.
Quite a significant proportion of men, up to 40%, have reported being successful during
sexual intercourse whilst on the Yohimbe pill.
Yohimbe is best prescribed for men whose ED stems from vascular related issues or
those with emotional problems originating in the mind (stress, depression) and those
with diabetes.
41
Can Yohimbe be taken by men not suffering from ED? Absolutely, unlike other ED
medication, Yohimbe is natural and men who do not suffer from ED and use Yohimbe
claim that the herb helps increase their libido. In some cases it even causes erections to
last longer.
The Yohimbe extract is normally administered in doses of up to 5.4mg, taken thrice a
day. The drawback with Yohimbe is the time it takes to be effective. On average it will
take a man anywhere between three weeks to two months to see results.
Ginkgo Biloba
It is another herb that has no direct and clear medical studies to show just how it
operates, but is used to treat ED. Gingko biloba is prescribed for men whose ED is more
psychological.
It should be avoided by men who suffer from blood disorders and those who use the
blood thinner Coumadin. This is because Gingko biloba is known to cause the clotting
of blood and when mixed with blood thinning medication, can prove a disastrous and
even fatal combination.
Korean Red Ginseng

This plant, native to Asia, is one of the more popular (and more expensive) herbal plants
in the East. It goes under many names. If you wish to purchase it, then it is useful to know
that it may be sold under the following names: Chinese ginseng, Asian ginseng, or
panax ginseng. There are other forms of ginseng which should not be mistaken for
Korean red ginseng. The ginsengs to not confuse with are American and Siberian
ginseng.
Korean Red Ginseng requires a good five years of growth before the plant may be used.
This care and time needed to allow the plant to properly mature causes the plant to
bear such a marked price.
The part that is used for treating ED is the root. The ginseng root must first be dried
without being processed and in this form it is known as white ginseng. But after it has
gone through steaming, and has been re-dried and stained, it is called red ginseng.
42
Why Red Ginseng?

For centuries the Chinese have used it as a medicine for holistic wellbeing that is
believed to work wonders on the immune system. It is also known to improve the
functioning of the heart, treat diabetes, and decrease the risk of impotence.
Studies to Support the Effectiveness of Red Ginseng

Traditional Chinese herbalists seem to have stumbled upon something in their use of
red ginseng, as modern day researchers are now finding proof in their studies that there
really is something in ginseng that seems to help blood flow.
A study conducted on over 45 men and documented in the Journal of Urology shows
that the men were divided into two groups, one group received red ginseng while the
other group received the placebo. The group that took the herbs was on a 900 milligram
prescription that was taken thrice each day for eight weeks. It was observed that at the
end of these two months, the men who had taken the herb had fewer symptoms of ED.
American researchers were impressed and concluded that the herb could be used to
treat impotence.
Taking Ginseng Supplements

Korean Red Ginseng is a versatile herb that may be purchased in any one of the
following forms --- either liquid extract, pill form or in powder form. It is important to
always double check the ginseng that you are intending to purchase as there are two
types of ginseng available as we mentioned earlier.
If you prefer to buy ginseng in a more natural form, then feel free to purchase its root.
You will have to boil the roots in water and make tea with the water as a way of
extracting the ginseng from the root.
43
Common Side Effects of Ginseng

Yes, believe it or not, a plant may be natural, but it can pose a few challenges and side
effects, and ginseng is not immune to that. Red ginseng, when used over a long period
of time, has been known to cause insomnia. Although this does not happen in every
case, it is still a possibility. Other side effects that may come as a result of using red
ginseng for prolonged periods of time include high blood pressure, splitting headaches,
light headedness, diarrhea, and skin breakouts.
Mixing Other Drugs with Red Ginseng

As always, before adding new medication to an already existing program, it is important
to confer with a health professional first. This is to check and make sure that the new
medication you intend to add does not interfere with the other medication you may be
taking.
If your current list of medication includes any of the following, then be careful about
adding red ginseng to your medical cabinet:
Immune system suppressants, insulin, blood pressure meds, blood thinners, stimulants
(coffee included), and monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
A list of other alternative herbal medicines to look into includes saw palmetto Serenoa
repens, true unicorn root Aletrius, and ginseng herbs such as the Siberian ginseng
Eleuthrococus senticocus, and Panax ginseng.
Another traditional medicine used is Strychnos nux-vomica. This particular medicine
should only be taken under direct guidance and supervision as it can prove toxic when
taken without due caution. Nux works best on men whose ED is linked and caused by
excessive alcohol and smoking.
For those wishing to look into Chinese healing herbal medicine, finding a Chinese
herbal shop is a good place to start. Chinese herbal mixes include a combination of
these herbs. Another favored option for treating ED using oriental methods is via
acupuncture. This however is frowned upon by doctors of Western medicine because
of inconclusive evidence showing its effectiveness.
44
A closer look at the available evidence

Arginine: Nitric oxide is one of the key chemicals needed in the body to aid the muscles
of the penis. Pharmaceutical companies have exploited this knowledge for ED drugs on
the market, where you will notice that they either contain nitric oxide compounds or
stimulate its production. For those deciding to do it naturally, they can opt to take
amino acid L-arginine supplements. The amino acid is readily available in natural food
and serves to increase the secretion of nitric oxide in the body.
There are no solid results of the effectiveness of taking arginine supplements, although
some positive studies conducted in the past which prove that L-arginine boosts sexual
function (Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy 2003). It should be noted that like with any
other medication, L-arginine should not be self-prescribed and self-medicated without
conducting due diligence, as it has been known to interfere with medication taken to
help men suffering from cardiovascular disease.
DHEA: Hormones are an indispensible part of the entire process of getting aroused and
getting an erection. The male hormone testosterones role cannot be undermined nor
underplayed in this equation for a normal libido and a regular sex life. Men with low
testosterone levels are often advised to look into therapy that deals with testosterone
replacement. And one part of this therapy includes the use of supplements containing
a hormone referenced as DHEA. The human body can convert the supplement into
testosterone and estrogen hormones. There are documented studies which show that
the use of DHEA helps decrease the incidence of ED in some men.
However, DHEA has its bad side --- it can cause your pituitary gland to be suppressed.
Impotence expert Dr. McCullough from the New York University says that its long term
effects are also unknown, which is why most physicians do not advise its use.
Acupuncture: The age old art and practice of acupuncture is one of the most
recognized and easily accepted forms of healing in the East. And no doubt, it has made
claims of treating ED. The claims may be justified, but science requires that there be
undeniable proof to its effectiveness. To date, no conclusive evidence to support its
effectiveness has been found.
Pomegranate Juice: This one is a long shot, but some herbalists believe that drinking
pomegranate juice may help protect one from ED. Pomegranate juice is known to be
rich in antioxidants and is generally great for health. The research that is out there is not
sufficient, except for one study conducted in 2007 whose results were rather promising,
but it was a small scale study. More studies are still to be done to give a more concrete
answer.
45
Many people prefer taking the naturopath to healing. Whichever path you decide to
take, the best thing is to do your research first. Never stop any prescription medicine
and swap over to a more natural treatment method without conducting due diligence.
Going natural is probably one of the best ideas, but it is not for everyone. You are
entitled to give it a go and try it out before completely discarding it. You may be
surprised to find that it works, or perhaps it is not altogether suitable for you. Whatever
you decide, always keep in mind that there is always another way if you decide that
commercial pharmaceutical over-the-counter drugs are not for you.
There are many other options out there, but just make sure that you do your research
before rushing into something and committing yourself too early. Take it step by step
and one day at a time. We have a comprehensive meal plan provided later in this book
to help you get back on track through completely natural means with no side effects.
46
Chapter 7: Eat Your Way to Sexual Health!
othing can substitute a healthy and fit body. One of the aims of this book has
been to tell you the best way of dealing with ED --- pursuing a healthier lifestyle.
A healthy lifestyle is one where you make an effort to look after yourself
holistically, mind and body. A healthy lifestyle looks at not only eating better (more
fruits and vegetables and less processed food stuff), but one that includes regular
exercise (where you maintain a weight suitable for your height, BMI and attempt to keep
your cholesterol levels down), and cutting out of your life everything that leads to stress
and depression (let go of unhealthy relationships and get out of situations that get you
down).
47
Pursuing a healthier lifestyle will also benefit the primary cause of your ED if it is
physically related. With lower cholesterol levels, you may be able to get off the
medication you have been taking that is causing ED as a side effect. Eating well will
release chemicals in your body that will help fight depression and stress --- this is good
news if your ED was caused by psychological reasons.
In this chapter, we are going to focus on an aspect that tends to be overlooked by most
people when they think of ED treatments --- good health begins in the kitchen.
One of the very first questions that may be asked is, Is there food that causes ED? the
answer is NO and YES. No, because there is no food that directly causes ED, and yes
because there are foods (fatty foods, over-processed foods) that can lead you to
develop a primary illness such as being overweight which in turn can have ED as a
secondary illness linked to it. A follow up question may be, Is there food that prevents
ED?, the answer is a resounding YES. There is food that can help prevent ED and theres
proof of it too.
Dr. Firouz Daneshgari, medical professor at the Case Western Reserve School of
Medicine makes the link that certain foods may help treat ED. Dr. Daneshgari makes the
connection that because erectile problems are mainly the result of poor blood flow to
the penis, food that is known to be good for the vascular system is a good option to
consume for men suffering from ED.
The key then is to find foods that are rich in the necessary nutrients that can boost your
vascular system right? But before looking into the food, just what nutrients are we
looking for?
1. Zinc
Zinc may be just one of the missing links in your list of nutrients to consume in sufficient
quantity. Zinc, is one of those minerals that you rarely ever hear mentioned in the big
discussions on important nutrients to take, but this doesnt mean that it is any less
important than other nutrients. In fact, in this particular case, it is probably one of the
most important nutrients to include in your diet.
The US National Institute of Health touts the benefits of Zinc and its use in the human
body --- Zinc is a key nutrient, required for the immune systems defence. The mineral
plays a crucial role in cellular division, the growth of cells, and in the hydrolysis of
carbohydrates. You may be wondering how this affects ED.
48
Well, Zinc deficiency brings about several ailments which include alopecia (hair loss)
and slow healing of wounds, and depression. Yes, depression. Who knew? Ones
depression may be the result of missing a single mineral! And that depression could be
leading you to experience ED!
Maybe you do eat well, and you are now wondering why you may be facing a Zinc
deficiency. The thing with Zinc is that you may be eating foods rich in Zinc, but the
mineral is actually NOT getting absorbed by your body at all. How does this happen?
Phytic acid is needed by the body in order for Zinc to be absorbed. But in the process of
cooking food, this acid is destroyed, and as such the body loses its ability to absorb the
necessary Zinc it needs. So as much as possible, eat your vegetables raw.
What are some good Zinc sources?

Zinc is a mineral readily found in meat, liver, animal products, green vegetables and
oysters. Some of the richest sources of the mineral are pumpkin, hemp and sesame
seeds, shiitake mushrooms, cashews, pine nuts, and avocados.
Shellfish Zinc Sources

Seafood has for many centuries been considered an aphrodisiac by many a culture, so
it comes as little surprise that within these specialties lies a very potent mineral much
needed by the body to manufacture testosterone. Hormones play an important role in
a mans ability to enjoy his sexual experience and low testosterone levels have been
linked to erectile dysfunction. A study presented at the American Chemical Society
conference showed the connection between raw shellfish and getting rid of ED.
Shellfish was shown to have substances that provoke sexual hormones.
2. Nitrates
While growing up, most people disliked eating their greens and beets, but it turns out
mum was right after all. You do need all those leafy greens, you know the kinds we are
talking about right, celery and spinach. It turns out they are a great source of nitrates. If
you are wondering why nitrates are so important, just know that they are vasodilators
--- in simple English, they dilate your blood vessels - open them up for more blood flow.
49
Yes, and beetroot is in this equation too. Beet juice also sits on the list of high nitrate
sources.
As with most of the medicine that has
now become commercialized, their
main ingredients have been used for a
long time to treat maladies. The same
is true for nitrates, which had been
used for many, many years prior to
Viagras advent in 1998. Studies had
been done demonstrating the
benefits of nitrates in treating ED.
Todays major ingredient in most of
these pharmaceutical drugs is based
on nitrates and nitric oxides.
3. Flavonoids
Dark chocolate, yes you will be allowed to indulge
in some chocolate on your journey to better health.
Dark chocolate contains substances called
flavonoids which improve blood circulation - this is
according to a study published in the journal
Circulation.
Flavonoids are antioxidants that occur naturally
and help plants protect themselves against toxins
while also playing a part in cellular repair. In
humans, flavonoids play the same role of looking
out for the organism. Flavonoids reduce blood
pressure and lower cholesterol levels (who would
have ever imagined chocolate could be good for
your health?) which is great because blood pressure
and cholesterol are key in ED. Optimal levels of both
are best to keep ED at bay.
50
4. P for Pistachios
It turns out pistachios arent just for snack time on bar counter tops after all, but actually
serve a greater good. So the next time you are sitting at a bar and waiting for your drink,
grab a handful of pistachios!
The protein arginine in pistachios is well known for aiding blood vessels to relax and
allows more blood flow. If you want to try it out for yourself, feel free to eat these nuts
for three weeks, every day, like the men in the pistachio study who after the three weeks
reported marked changes in their sex lives. The men, some of whom suffered from ED,
reported an increase in the incidence of getting an erection and increased sexual desire.
They were all around much happier and more satisfied.
5. Antioxidants
Antioxidants, which are also known as phyto (plant) nutrients are found in watermelon
and have been shown to have an effect worth mentioning on erectile dysfunction.
These antioxidants can boost sexual desire. A very useful benefit of the phyto nutrients
found in watermelons is its ability to cause the blood vessels in erectile tissue to relax
and allow blood to flow in and cause an erection.
51
a. Lycopene
Next time you or your partner go grocery shopping, make sure to include some color
from the vegetable section. After reading this you are going to want to include some of
these colorful veggies into your shopping basket.
The next phyto nutrient on our list is lycopene, an antioxidant which is found in
tomatoes and grapefruits, but these arent just any tomatoes or grapefruits, we are
talking about the deepest red tomatoes and the pinkest grapefruits you can find. You
will want to get these because not only is lycopene great for circulation, but is also
highly recommended for treating sexual performance problems. Research into
antioxidants shows that lycopene is one of the phyto nutrients that fights infertility in
men and cancer of the prostate too.
The best way to get lycopene absorbed into your system is to mix whatever foods
contain the antioxidant with foods rich in oils such as avocados, or make a salad that
requires you to add olive oil.
52
b. Salmon, Tuna, and Vitamin B

In life you really just have to eat a little bit of everything in order to get all the needed
vitamins and antioxidants your body requires to function well. One vitamin required for
general wellbeing is B3, which is sometimes referred to as niacin.
Sometimes people worry that they may not be getting all the necessary vitamins that
their body needs. Its okay to take food supplements in order to meet your vitamin B3
requirement. A lot of people find it easier to take a pill, although the food benefit cannot
be underplayed because when you eat real food you get much more than just nutrients.
Niacin helps lower cholesterol levels diminish the risk of developing cardiovascular
illnesses. When used specifically to treat erectile dysfunction, the prescribed dosage is
1500mg a day for three months.
So where else can you get niacin apart from taking food supplements? Well, the types
of foods rich in niacin are organic vegetables, meat in all its different types, fish, poultry
and eggs too.
53
Erectile Dysfunction 5 Day Food Plan
hat if we told you that in five days, we could help you see results that you may
not have seen in a while? Yes and for some men, they dont even need all the
five days to start seeing results. Some men after as little as 48 hours reported
that they started seeing an improvement in their sexual ability. If you follow the meal
plans laid out below, and follow them as they are written, then you will begin to see
major changes to your ED.
As Dr. Daneshgari emphasises, there is nothing like a healthy diet for better health and
blood circulation. While on this five day plan you will have the opportunity to give your
body a break from all processed food. You will allow your body to recover while
consuming food and drinks for your circulation such as herbal teas, fruit such as apples
and cranberries, and even indulge in some red wine. The thing with eating food great
for your vascular system is that it will pay off in helping to prevent vascular related ED.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving this five day meal plan a go.
Day 1: Red Berries Day

Red berries - Nothing is as good for the vascular system as a healthy diet and that begins
with good nutrition. On the list of best foods to eat and look out for are berries of every
kind --- the deeper and brighter the color, the better they are for your health.
54
Red berries food prep: On day 1 we are going to focus on eating as many berries as we
can, and we can incorporate these in a myriad of ways. Todays choice food involves
making a delicious smoothie that takes less than five minutes to whip up.
Red berries smoothie ingredients: Low fat yogurt, low fat milk, half a cup of ice and half
a cup of red berries
Red berries smoothie how-to: Pour one cup of low fat milk into the blender. Add cup
of yogurt and add your crushed ice cubes. Toss in cup of red berries (make sure you
keep a few to garnish your smoothie) turn on the blender and allow it to mix everything
until it is thick and creamy. Pour into a glass, add whipped cream and top off with some
berries. Bon apptit!
Day 1 also has obligatory foods and dietary food supplements to incorporate. All these
are meant to be consumed either in the morning between the hours of 10 and 11am or
late in the afternoon between the hours of 4 and 5:30pm within a thirty minute time
frame.

that has 1 oz. Apple, 1 oz. dark chocolate, 2 oz. grapefruit, 2 oz. Beets and 2 oz.
Marshmallow
Day 2: Garlic Day

Garlic: Today is all about garlic. Just make sure
you have a lot of mints around today --- nobody
likes garlicky breath. Garlic, contains allicin, an
organic sulphur compound that aids the flow of
blood which is vital for good potency.
Garlic food prep: Prepare a roast and use garlic as
one of your key spices. Either crush the garlic
head or simply dice it into minute pieces and
scatter generously pre-roast.

Flavonoids: 1 oz. dark chocolate
56
Day 3: Soy is your friend

Soy: Soybeans are your friend. Soybeans are very beneficial as they are a source for the
amino acid L-Arginine which is a blood circulation improving compound. Soy has many
other sexually related benefits as it works wonders for your prostate too.
Soy Food Prep: Soy sauce teams up well with oriental dishes, think bok choi stir fry.
Day 3 foods and dietary supplements that should not be missed:
Protein, Niacin & Zinc: 1 cup of squash seeds, peanuts and pumpkin seeds in
equal measures
Flavonoids: 1 oz. dark chocolate
Lycopene & Nitrate : 1 large carrot
L-Arginine: 5 gr

Zinc: Zinc is a mineral that is often overlooked when people make reference to dietary
supplements and necessary nutrients. Yet to a man, the lack of Zinc can be the
difference between having an erectile problem and not having one.
Zinc meal prep: Zinc will have you trying out new things. If you have never had the great
delight of trying oysters, then today is your lucky day. Todays meal prep is oysters. We
will give you a heads up. Dont think twice, just eat. They are good for you.

FAQ on the 5 Day Meal Plan

Q: When will I see results?
A: The recommended time frame that is five days before you can make any assessments
on progress, but this is not to say there wont be results before the end of the five days.
Some men in previous studies started seeing results as early as day 2.
Q: Does the order in which I eat the food specified in the meal plans matter?
A: The order is not the most important thing. The key is to consume everything thats
given on each days list.
Q: Are there any dangers to my health that may be posed by this food plan?
A: The food given in all the meal plans is organic and natural, the plans are designed to
help you get the best results in as healthy a manner as possible. However, if you have
allegories, youre more than welcome to try out foods that have similar nutrients, minus
the allergens.
Q: Suppose I begin to get erections, but perhaps they are lasting too long and it is
becoming uncomfortable, what should I do to my daily meal plan? Should I stop it
completely and start again with lower doses of the supplements?
A: It is best to avoid abusing the usage of supplements. For L-Arginine you may choose
to continue to take pills and you can take them for up to a maximum of 6 weeks. When
it comes to Propionyl-L-Carnitine, you can continue to take it but only twice a week. If
you do decide to stop taking supplements then stop the arginine and carnitine first. If
you feel the meal plan is too rigid and is putting a strain on your body, then you may
choose to omit a day and continue the next day from where you left off.
59
Q: Can I simply eat the food from this meal plan and is that all I need to eat in a
day?
A: The meal plans laid out here in the 5 day meal plan guide are additions to the food
you already eat. These meal plans are not asking you to stop eating everything and
instead only eat what is stipulated here. All the meal plans are simple additions to your

Breakfast options
Breakfast is not considered the most important meal in the day for nothing. It is the meal
that sets you up for the rest of your day, gives you energy to get through the first set of
tasks in your day, and gives your body the strength and stamina to carry out its
necessary daily functions. Meal skipping is not advised, especially when it comes to
breakfast. Take time to prepare something quick and simple every morning, let these
recipes help you. They offer great tasting food and can be whipped up in a matter of
minutes.
Simple foods you should consider including on your breakfast table include the
following Zinc rich foods: (Zinc quantities as recorded by the USDA --- department of
agriculture).
Almond Butter: Cut out the margarine, butter, and jams and opt for this almond delight
butter spread instead. Not only does this spread have a good zinc dosage (.53 mg per
tablespoon) but it has no added salt, making it one of the more natural spreads around.
Eat it on wholesome whole wheat toast or spread generously on a whole grain English
muffin.
Bacon: Bacon is almost a universal breakfast staple. It is on almost every breakfast menu,
and with good reason. Its not only delicious but is also a good source of zinc amongst
other nutrients. Three rashers of bacon will provide you with .82mg of zinc.
Eggs: Whats a breakfast without eggs right? Next to bacon and toast, eggs are part and
parcel of the traditional breakfast menu. Whether you like yours boiled, poached,
scrambled or fried is up to you. But the manner in which it is prepared affects the levels
of zinc in it. For example, a boiled egg will contain on average .52mg of zinc whilst a cup
of scrambled eggs contains 2.20mg of zinc.
62
Milk: One cup of 2% milk contains 1.17mg of zinc. So make sure you drink at least a glass
a day so you can perform better in bed. In addition, calcium helps your bones become
stronger.
Oatmeal: Mom was right about oatmeal porridge after all. Oatmeal is a great source of
zinc, with a cup full of prepared oats, bearing 2.30mg of zinc per serving (prepared with
water and no salt). Adding a handful of berries to the oatmeal makes it taste that much
better.
Oat Bran Muffins: If you like oats then you will enjoy these oat bran muffins, which are
deliciously prepared and can be purchased in any local supermarket. A single serving of
an oat bran muffin contains 2mg of zinc. Once again, these muffins are not just
delectable delights, to be savoured in the morning, but can equally serve as
midmorning snacks, which when teamed up with a cup of berries or a banana make a
superb snack.
Whole Grain English Muffins: Whole grain is the way to go. These English muffins will do
more for your health than pancakes and syrup will ever do. Each muffin carries about
1mg of zinc. These are great for a morning snack or afternoon snack.
Whole Wheat Bread: Whole wheat is great for your digestion as well because it provides
much needed roughage for your intestines. Bread makes up the starch part of most
peoples breakfast and can be prepared in a myriad of ways. Its up to you how you
choose to have it, but toasted is better. Bread has a good amount of zinc in it, at .50mg
per slice.
63
Wheat Germ: Wheat germ found in the ready-to-eat cereals on the market contains
larger amounts of zinc when compared to the rest of the other foods on this list. Every
cup of that cereal contains 18.8 mg of zinc.
Yogurt: As a rule of thumb, dairy products tend to be a great way to get zinc. A cup of
low-fat yogurt has just over 2mg of Zinc.

Boil enough water to soak the mushrooms in. In a small bowl, soak the
mushrooms until they have softened then strain them in a sieve (keep the liquid
you soaked the mushrooms in). After straining the mushrooms, rinse and then
cut them up into fine pieces.
In another small bowl, using the soaking liquid from the mushrooms, stir a
tablespoon of the soaking liquid into some corn starch until you get a smooth
consistency and put aside.
Take a skillet and place two teaspoons of oil into it and heat over the stove. Once
the oil has heated, fry the shallots until they are soft. Proceed to add the
mushrooms and allow them to cook until they are done. Put in the wine and cook,
making sure you are mixing well, you want the mixture to reduce by as much as
1/2.
Take the left over soaking liquid and add it to the skillet and allow everything to
just simmer and cook through together. The sauce will reduce and that is okay.
Take the corn-starch consistency that was in reserve and add it into the cooking
sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce begins to thicken. Once thickened,
turn the heat off and add lemon juice and butter, and season with salt and
pepper.
Take another skillet and place some oil and allow it to heat up. While the oil is
heating up, take the salmon and sprinkle salt and pepper on it and rub it in well.
Cook the salmon in the skillet until it is well done.

VI.
Prepare a 7 x 11 inch baking tray by spraying it with cooking spray before you
begin making this meal and set it aside.
Take a skillet and add 2 teaspoons of oil and allow it to heat up. Once hot, fry
onions until soft then remove them from the pan and place them into a bowl.
Add some more oil to the pan and turn the heat up from medium to high. This
time you are going to fry the mushrooms until they are soft. Once they are done
move them to the bowl with the onions. In that bowl season the mushrooms with
salt and pepper as you toss the mushrooms and onion to combine them.
Take another bowl and put the nutmeg, spinach and ricotta in it and some
pepper and mix thoroughly.
Pour a cup of marinara sauce into the baking tray and then cut up each slice of
bread into four uniform parts. Place the bread on sauce then add the ricotta onto
the bread. Take the leftover bread and put it over the ricotta. When that is done,
take the mushrooms and sprinkle them over the bread, cover with mozzarella
and remaining marinara sauce. Its okay if the tray is filled to the brim. Set this
dish aside.
Before putting into the oven, take a small bowl and combine the milk and eggs
together, then take this mixture and pour it bit by bit over the baking tray with
its contents --- remember to use a fork to poke holes into the top of the casserole
to allow the milk/egg mixture to seep its way into the bread. Then spray one side
of cooking foil with cooking spray (or smear oil) and cover the baking tray with
the oiled side facing the filling in the tray. Place in the fridge for a minimum of
two hours (for best results leave overnight).
Preheat oven to 375F and bake without a covering for 40 minutes. With ten
minutes to go until done, sprinkle some cheese (Parmesan) and bake again until
the cheese has puffed and browned. Take out from the oven and allow to cool
for at least 15 minutes. Serve with a parsley garnish.

Seeds are different and give different nutrients, take for example linseeds which are one
of the highest sources of omega 3, almonds which have a high calcium content and
sunflower seeds which store vitamins D & E, potassium, calcium, zinc and iron.
If you want to make smoothies that are creamy without using dairy products, then
lecithin is what you will need.
Hailing from Tibet, Goji berries make some of the tastiest smoothies around. These little
berries are powerhouses, potent and ready to provide your body with over 20 minerals
and antioxidants.
Fruits are not just great because they contain important antioxidants, but because they

Chapter 8: Dietary Supplements
he US Food and Drug Administration defines a dietary supplement as a product

meant for ingestion that has a dietary ingredient in it. A dietary supplement is
aimed at adding further nutritional value to ones current diet. Dietary
supplements fall under one of the following categories or may be a combination of any
one of the following:
A vitamin, an herb, a mineral, an amino acid, a concentrate, constituent, metabolite or
extract.
The form in which dietary supplements come

is varied and broad. Dietary supplements
may come as powders, capsules, soft-gels,
tablets, liquids or gel-caps.
Dietary supplements serve two major roles,
and those are:
1. To make sure that you meet your daily
dietary requirements
2. To help decrease your risk of disease
Below are some dietary supplements that
may be taken to help decrease your risk of ED
and for those with ED, will help treat the
condition.
Propionyl-L-Carnitine
What is Propionyl-L-Carnitine?
The bodys main building block for bone, skin, and tissue is protein. Protein is vital and
crucial to your body. With over 10,000 different types of protein in your body needed
for effective functioning, you have to ensure an adequate supply. But these proteins are
made up of much smaller molecules known as amino acids. These amino acids join
together to form long chains that are then later referred to as proteins.
108
There are over 500 amino acids, but the body only needs of 20 of them to create all the
protein molecules vital to the existence of life. Propionyl-L-carnitine is just one of those
amino acids that the body produces. There is an entire L-carnitine family of amino acids
e.g. L-carnitine, acetyl-L-carnitine, propionyl-L-carnitine. They are all related but are not
the same. For starters, their functions are completely different. What is known about
them is that one form can convert into another, but what is not known is whether the
benefits of one form are interchangeable with another.
Their different uses:

Propionyl-L-carnitine is a dietary supplement that is used to treat intermittent
claudication which is also known as leg pain. Leg pain is usually the result of poor
circulation of blood in your body, a condition sometimes referred to as peripheral
vascular disease (PVD). PVD in turn is linked to diabetes or atherosclerosis. For those
suffering from congestive heart failure, Propionyl-L-carnitine is also on their list of meds.
The link between Propionyl-L-carnitine is created where men with ED problems linked
to diabetes are prescribed this medication. Low hormone levels can decrease libido,
hence older men with low testosterone levels are sometimes prescribed a back-to-back
dosage of both propionyl-L-carnitine taken with acetyl-carnitine.
The propionyl-L-carnitine is then administered through the use of a needle
intravenously.
The Mechanics of Propionyl-L-carnitine

In the body, this amino acid is known for aiding the production of energy. It has other
uses as well which stretch into helping with cardiac function and muscle motion. Some
studies also show that plays a part in the circulation of blood around the body.
Dosage & Mode of administration

Each day, you can take up to 2 grams of Propionyl-carnitine.
109
L-Arginine
Another amino acid often recommended is L-arginine, which is commonly found in
meat products and dairy. L-arginine is simple enough to be manufactured on a large
scale in a laboratory and is used in other medical fields.
L-arginine uses are vast, ranging from the treatment of congestive heart disorders, to
preventing the common cold, and even being used as an anti-inflammatory medicine
in premature babies.
L-arginine is known to generally be taken in conjunction with another prescription
medication. For example, when treating women with breast cancer, L-arginine is taken
alongside other cancer medication.
When it comes to treating ED, L-arginine is not only used for men, but also women
experiencing sexual problems. It is found in the form of creams that can be used by both
sexes.
The mechanics of L-arginine

Nitric oxide is popular because it causes blood vessels to relax and allows blood to flow
around the body. L-arginine works well because it is changed to nitric oxide in the body
and thus allows for improved blood flow in the erectile area.
Recommended dosage
The recommended dosage is set at 5 grams taken orally every day for up to six weeks.
This dosage is stipulated and research shows that if you take a lower dosage, you may
not see the results you are aiming for.
As you can see, dietary supplements may be useful in treating ED, but they should be
taken in conjunction with the anti-ED meal plan we have provided in this book.

Chapter 9: FAQ on Erectile Dysfunction Things You

Need To Know
he normal order of things is that a man should be able to have and maintain an
erection during intercourse, but when that ability is disturbed by reasons other
than a low libido, it can create several issues in a relationship and in the sufferers
life.
Am I abnormal if I have Erectile Dysfunction?

No, you are not abnormal for not being able to maintain an erection. In fact, this is an
occurrence in more men than most people realize. Statistics by the US National Institute
of Health show that up to 6% of men aged 40 and below are affected significantly by
erectile dysfunction.
It is important to point out though that age is not the requisite for experiencing erectile
dysfunction. Men of all ages will at some point in their life experience the inability to
have an erection. This tends to happen once every five times a man tries to engage in
intercourse. However when a man fails almost half of the time, this is a warning that
there may be a problem that needs to be looked into closely.
Is Erectile Dysfunction genetic? What causes it?

No, it is not a hereditary disease. It cannot be passed on from father to son or down the
blood line. However, what can be passed down the blood line are certain traits that can
lead you to experience ED. Traits such as stress and relationship issues can be passed
from generation to generation. These are the psychological traits that may be passed
down that can cause ED. On the other side you have diseases that can lead you to
develop ED. Diseases such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis may cause ED.
So what are the causes of ED?

We can categorize the causes of ED into two main classes, which are physical causes and
psychological causes.
111
Physical Causes
Male sexual arousal has a delicate balance and system that operates it. The brain is
linked to the nerves, which work hand in hand with the hormones. Emotions also play a
crucial part in the entire process, not to mention muscles and blood vessels. A
disturbance in any one of these can trigger a problem e.g. atherosclerosis (this is when
blood vessels become hard), chronic illness, Peyronies disease (this is when the penis
has suffered trauma and contains scar tissue), high blood pressure, diabetes (60% of
men with diabetes experience ED frequently), prostate cancer treatments (radiation,
chemotherapy), and more.
Medication e.g. blood pressure pills (in particular beta blockers) and some
antidepressants are also known to make it tough to have an erection.
Psychological causes
When a man is under pressure to please, is facing stress, or is depressed, it tends to be
much harder for him to have an erection.
Certain medication may also be an interference with the natural order of things in the
mans reproductive organs.
Where can I get help with this problem?

We highly discourage self-medication because it can lead to all sorts of trouble. You
have to rely on tried and tested methods, such as those mentioned in this book to
achieve lasting success. For most people it may be nothing, but if you find yourself
failing to get hard 50% of the time, then you have to consider making lifestyle changes
provided in this book. Thats why you have to read through the advice presented within
this book carefully so you can avoid ED.
What are my treatment options?

Lets face it, we live in a world where doctors love handing out drugs. Even if your
situation can be cured through natural remedies, doctors prefer giving intrusive drugs
that may fix the problem at hand, but create several more at the backend.
112
You see, no medication is perfect. While certain medication is designed to fix specific
problems within your body, its always almost impossible to know how other systems
in your body will act or react to that medication. So while you initially took the
medication to cure problem A, you may end up with problems B, C, and D.
The drugs on the market currently prescribed for ED are sildenafil, which is more
commonly known as Viagra and tadalafil aka Cialis and another lesser known drug,
vardenafil aka Levitra. These drugs are designed to improve blood flow and get you to
relax so you can perform your best. However, they have a long list of side effects also.
Sex therapy is also another favored approach to dealing with impotence. Other less
favored options include penile injections, the use of vacuum pumps and the last option
for most people is surgery.
There are other more natural methods, which we have presented in this book, that you
can undertake if you do not like the idea of taking tablets with severe side effects the
rest of your life.
When the problem is psychological, counseling is generally advised.
Because of their unique dispositions, each treatment method has its own advantages
and disadvantages, which are important for you to weigh in and consider before
starting off on a path.
Will I need to take medications for the rest of my life?

This answer depends on you. If you choose to take pills for the rest of your life, then that
will become your path. However, you dont need to take medication for the rest of your
life because as stated already, ED can be cured through natural remedies mentioned in
this book. Also, if the stress that was causing you to have ED is eliminated, then you will
be ok. If you decide to follow the natural way laid out in this book and the blood flow
goes back to being normal, then things will go back to normal. You wont need to pop
pills every time you need to make love. The choice is really yours.
113
Could my lifestyle be a contributing factor?

Thats the thing with health. Its all linked. You cannot separate one part of your life from
the rest --- since it is linked, it will affect other parts of your life. You cannot eat badly and
expect to have a healthy heart. An unhealthy heart will lead to poor blood flow, which
can in turn mean that when its time to enjoy sex, you cannot get hard because your
blood flow is too poor to get you stiff. Ironic isnt it? So yes, lifestyle choices do most
certainly affect your performance. The best way is to eat well and keep the lifestyle that
we lay out for you in details in this book.
Is my age a decisive factor?

ED is not dependent on age, but it is a common fact that the older you are, the lower
your libido is, and the lower your chances of getting an erection are. More than 45% of
men above the age of 75 cannot maintain an erection. The same is true for men of all
ages though when it comes to treatments. Treatments are not hampered by age, it just
depends on how your body reacts to the treatment. But one thing is for sure, you cant
go wrong with eating healthy and using the meal plans in this book to lead a healthier
life, free of ED.
What Diseases Are Linked To Erectile Dysfunction?

It is not uncommon to discover that erectile dysfunction is a secondary illness, which
means that it may stem from another primary illness. In these cases erectile dysfunction
acts as the result of treatment to cure the primary illness. Lets take a look at some of the
more common diseases that are linked to erectile dysfunction:
Blood vessel disorders: Diseases that affect the arteries, veins and capillaries are very
problematic when it comes to ED because of the reduced flow of blood. Atherosclerosis
is one of the major culprits in this category of blood vessel disorders. High blood
pressure and high cholesterol also contribute significantly to increasing the incidence
of ED in overweight men.
114
Cancer: Prostate cancer is problematic. The cancer itself is not the major worry and
neither is it the major cause of ED. The treatment of the cancer is what generally causes
ED.
Diabetes: Medically referred to as Diabetes Mellitus, this illness can be subdivided into
two categories, Type 1 diabetes and Type II diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic sickness that
damages blood vessels and nerves in the body. High blood sugar levels are the main
cause of diabetes. When not kept in check, diabetes can seriously affect a mans
potency.
Kidney problems: Hormones are part and parcel of the chain reaction that takes place
to arouse a man. Kidney disease may affect your hormones and the way blood flows to
your genitals and other areas of your nervous system. To make matters worse, the
medication used for kidney related issues causes ED.
Nerve and Brain disorders: If the command center is affected, then it is almost
impossible for a man to be turned on and maintain an erection. The nervous system
plays a crucial part in enabling one to have an erection. It is important to note here that
smoking, and brain related illnesses such as Alzheimers and nerve related illnesses such
as Parkinsons contribute significantly to the cases of men suffering from nerve and
brain related ED.
A closer look at some of the Potential Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunctions causes can also be linked to other closely related experiences:
Alcohol, Substance abuse, Tobacco: Believe it or not, alcohol and drugs DO NOT boost
your sex drive and confidence. They can actually leave you more shattered than before.
So the next time you decide to go out for drinks in a bid to garner some confidence, just
keep in mind that alcohol and drugs may actually cause you to lose your confidence
when it is time to perform.
115
Hormonal problems: Yes, men get hormonal too. A mans sex drive is a careful balance
between hormones that when disturbed, can lead to a lower sex drive. This hormonal
imbalance may be attributed to tumors affecting the pituitary gland, kidney failure,
depression and medication taken to treat prostate cancer.
Penis injury: Nothing is more traumatic to a man than injury to his manhood, literally.
Any injuries associated with the pelvis and spinal cord may inadvertently cause ED.
Prescription medication and over-the-counter medicines: Dont just take

medication without first understanding what it is doing to your body. These are some
of the reasons why we are advocating for a safer and more natural way of doing things.
The FDA has categorized more than 190 prescription drugs that have been linked to
causing ED.
Both pharmaceutical and illegal drugs can suppress the central nervous system, but
what few are aware of is just how damaging these drugs can be to your health. They
destroy your blood vessels and are often the culprits in erectile dysfunction cases.
Although most men would never think that because this is a little fact that is often
conveniently omitted, but drugs have disastrous results which may lead to permanent
ED.
Prostate enlargement: The older you get, the larger your prostate gets. Its part and
parcel of growing older. However this process isnt always as smooth as its meant to be,
because it has been linked to ED.
Surgery: Surgery in the genital area is never a pleasant experience, and generally when
men get surgery down there, it is because of serious matters such as cancer. Sadly not
all surgeries go without glitches. Some surgeries have casualties and those casualties
come in the form of damaged erectile tissue and nerves in and around the penis, leading
to the potential inability to get an erection.
116
The Crucial Role Played by Your Lifestyle

Its my life! and Dont tell me how to live my life! are phrases you hear from teenagers
a lot. But subconsciously, many of us are still like children and have had these thoughts
when doctors tell us to start eating healthier and exercising. And most times like
children, we refuse to obey --- that is until it is almost too late.
There is no shred of evidence that points towards smoking being a healthy activity. We
know and yet, we still smoke. We dont need to see another exercise and get fit poster
to know that we seriously need to do something about our weight issues. According to
WHO, most men are overweight, in fact in the US alone the number of men estimated
to be overweight is truly shocking --- 3 out of every four men is considered obese.
To add to the daily struggle of being overweight, most men have to work stressful
corporate jobs. So with more people falling ill to stress-related issues than ever before,
should we truly be shocked that we are living in an age where sickness seems to be the
norm? With all these illnesses at our doorstep, is it surprising to find that they are all
linked to and even lead to erectile dysfunction?
Below we are going to outline and discuss some of the lifestyle choices that put us in
harms way.
Smoking: The hardening of the arteries, the major blood vessels carrying oxygenated
blood around the body, poses a grave challenge. Not only does this hardening, a
medical condition known as atherosclerosis, considerably reduce the flow of blood
around the body, and the penis, it also makes one feel tired a lot more quickly and
hence, diminishing the chances of a man getting an erection.
So should you quit smoking?

Apart from the other health benefits, such as reduced chances of getting cancer,
quitting smoking is a surefire way to help men restore in part or in full their manhoods
proper functioning.
Obesity: Being overweight is linked to high blood pressure, which in turn augments the
chances of a man getting a blood vessel disorder or vascular disease which will
inadvertently cause erectile dysfunction. Obesity is further aggravated when men
follow a sedentary lifestyle and dont see the need to exercise. You may be obese and
are not sure where to start.
117
Thats ok. There are many tools online from body mass index calculators that can guide
you on just how much weight is healthy for you to lose, right down to calorie counters
for all your food. ED does not have to become a part of your life, you can do something
about it.
Diabetes not kept in check: ED linked to diabetes need not be a concern of yours if
you keep your diabetes in order. If you maintain a proper balanced diet and get enough
exercise while taking your prescribed diabetes medicine, then you may be able to keep
a tight lid on diabetes and not allow it to bring about problems in your sex life. When
diabetes gets out of hand, it will affect the flow of blood and the sensitive nerves in your
penis. Once this happens it will get in the way of you enjoying your sex life when you
fail to become hard.
Elevated Cholesterol: Doctors and fitness experts are always talking about the dangers
of high cholesterol and with due reason. Elevated cholesterol will begin to deposit in
the linings of your blood vessels and that is the last thing you want. That not only brings
you one step closer to a heart attack, but also raises your blood pressure. The cholesterol
that has deposited itself in your arteries and veins will reduce and narrow the
passageways, blocking the normal flow of blood.
The best way to keep your cholesterol levels down is to eat healthy and exercise.
Keeping fit is vital to the overall wellbeing of your entire body and will help reduce your
risk of falling victim.
Consumption of too much Alcohol: The consumption of more than two drinks a day
is considered excessive drinking. Consuming more than two glasses of your favorite
alcoholic drink a day can lead to the diminished production of testosterone, which can
in turn lower your sex drive while also restricting the flow of blood. This affects your
ability to maintain an erection.
118
Use of illegal drugs: In the US and most countries around the world, the use of
marijuana and cocaine is still largely illegal. It is a well-known fact that these narcotics
are used for recreational purposes, but do you know that while you may enjoy getting
high on them, you are in fact doing more harm than good to your own body? And by
this we mean these narcotics may be causing you to become impotent. Narcotics
damage blood vessels and restrict the flow of blood to your penis.
Anxiety & Stress: Everyone goes through stress from time to time, its normal. But your
lifestyle shouldnt be one in which stress seems to be the norm. If you find stress and
anxiety being the norm, then you need to take a serious look at your life and determine
just what is causing the stress and what you can do to get rid of it. What is making you
so anxious? How can you get rid of the anxiety? Getting rid of stress and anxiety is crucial
because they may be leading you to experience temporary spells of ED.
119
Vascular Diseases Linked to Erectile Dysfunction: You have three major types of
blood vessels in your body, namely arteries, veins and then the smaller capillaries. When
youre healthy, this circulatory system functions well and blood flows to all its
destinations smoothly at normal pressure. Vascular diseases are disorders which affect
this normal flow of blood, due to damage or change to these blood vessels.
When blood flow is restricted to major organs like the heart and brain, this may prove
disastrous. Seconds without oxygenated blood can lead to brain damage. When it
concerns your genital area, reduced blood flow can lead to ED. Your manhood depends
on an adequate supply of blood to achieve an erection and when this supply is reduced,
the corresponding output is less than satisfactory.
The statistics are real and show that as many as 70% of all ED cases may be the result of
vascular disease. The mechanics of vascular disease are simple. Cholesterol and other
fatty substances are deposited in the wall of blood vessels, causing a buildup which
restricts the flow of blood. Fortunately a good diet and lifestyle changes towards a
better and healthier life are able to reverse the damage if one begins as early as possible.
Clogged arteries, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels, obesity and diabetes
are just some of the vascular illnesses that are linked to erectile dysfunction. An if you
notice, all of these illnesses can be prevented through healthy eating and following the
meal plan provided in this book.
Venous Leaking: The penis contains a rich network of blood vessels which, when a man
is aroused, relax to allow more blood to flow to the penis. This blood is eventually
trapped in the penis, so it becomes and stays hard. When a mans body cannot retain
blood in the veins of his penis, this condition is known as having a venous leak.
Venous leakage is not an isolated incident. It occurs in association with diabetes or
Peyronies disease. Venous leakage is also associated with nerve conditions and when a
man is experiencing extreme anxiety.
120
So Can You Prevent Yourself From Falling Victim to Erectile

Dysfunction?
Reading all of this can be somewhat overwhelming, and you may be wondering if there
is a way of preventing oneself from getting or experiencing erectile dysfunction.
The answer is yes, there is a way of preventing it if you havent experienced it yet. Even
if you have experienced it before, the answer is still yes, you do not need to ever
experience erectile dysfunction again.
Firstly we will address people who generally have a higher chance of developing ED.
People who fall into this category include: obese men, men with vascular disease, men
experiencing great anxiety or who work in stressful environments, men who consume
large amounts of alcohol (more than two glasses per day) and men who use illegal drugs
such as marijuana and cocaine.
We have all heard that prevention is better than cure. The best way to tackle the
sensitive subject of erectile dysfunction is to look at it straight in the eye and see what
needs to be done. We agree that taking the first step may seem like the hardest thing,
and yes it generally is, but it will be worth it.
The only way to tackle ED is by looking after your health. By looking after your health,
we mean a serious change in your lifestyle. You have to take positive steps to get your
whole life in order. This will not happen overnight so be patient with yourself.
Here are some actionable steps you can take to start your journey to better health and
a better sex life:
Exercise
Nothing beats getting into shape. At the same time, dont fall under the impression that
exercise along can cure ED. Exercise has to be done along with eating the right food.
Not only will it make you look good, but this will help fight vascular disease such as
atherosclerosis and will help stabilize your cholesterol levels. Regular exercise will also
give you an outlet for stress and release hormones you need to relax. Exercise will also
help you maintain a weight that is ideal for your height.
121
Diet
With that said, the next step is to eat right. Eat balanced meals every day. Healthy eating
doesnt have to be boring and tasteless. Yes it takes a little more effort on your part to
prepare your meals, or whoever prepares your meals, but do not scrounge when it
comes to this part of your lifestyle because what you put into your body makes huge
difference as far as ED is concerned. If you put garbage into your body, then dont expect
your body to run like a well-oiled machine. We have guided you through the correct
diet in this book so that you can put ED behind you forever.
Stop Substance Abuse

It is best to stop using recreational drugs. While you may feel good temporarily after
using them, their long term effects are highly damaging. Smoking is also a habit you
must break on your journey to beating ED. You now know what smoking does to your
health and how it affects your blood vessels, so dont be ignorant about it anymore.
If you enjoy your alcohol, then you may have it, but in controlled amounts. For example,
where you used to have a beer every day, try and discipline yourself to a beer over the
weekends or if you are really strong, try giving it up altogether. If you really have an
alcohol problem, then consider getting help from social groups or therapy. There is no
shame in getting therapy. Remember, this is a lifestyle change and it will not be easy,
but look at it as a chance to do your life over again, and start afresh.
Not many people get the opportunity to redo their life over again, and many people get
to the end of life and begin to regret things they wish they could have done better, and
diseases they wish they could have put in more effort to fight. It is never too late to start
over.
As long as you have breath in your body, you are always capable of giving life another
shot, and as they say, it is not how you start that matters, but how you finish thats
important. So do your best to finish strong. Do whatever you can to make your life
better. You are highly capable and stronger than you think. There is nothing too difficult
for you to achieve. With a little help from family, friends, and this book, you will be
surprised just how far you can go.
122
Conclusion
One of the ultimate tests of a man is how he bears under the strain of not being able to
enjoy sexual intercourse with his partner. It is among the most trying and difficult times,
and it is not something that any man should have to suffer.
Millions of couples have suffered from the effects of erectile dysfunction, as partners
have become frustrated, and the men irritable. Loneliness can easily set in when the
strain between the couple becomes too much to bear and they slowly begin to drift
apart.
Things do not need to get bad before they get better. Couples need to recognize that
there is a problem and it needs to be tackled by both of them. As a couple works
together to solve the problem, the burden is shared and the path to recovery is easier
to walk on.
Mens egos are very fragile and when faced with a challenging situation like this, they
do not know how to respond. Thankfully, those who have the privilege to get their
hands on a copy of this book have had their lives turned around because they now have
a deeper understanding of how to proceed with their erectile dysfunction treatment,
especially with the meal options laid out in this book.
With the help of their partner, the man can boldly face the future now with the
confidence to tackle any obstacle and any challenge.
The goal of this book has been to give you hope that this problem is only temporary
and that from now on, things will get better. Equipped with the knowledge that you
now have from reading this book, you are now able to look ED straight in the eye, and
face it head on. You now know that this is a passing phase, it is not the end of your life.
You can go back to having a normal and dare we say, a fantastic love life with your
partner!
