The prescription drugs used to treat these vascular problems actually in themselves can affect erectile performance. If you are a baby boomer like me, you got to be asking yourself, "Is there solution for this very personal problem?" The answer to this question my friend is a resounding YES! Go Straight to Solution...
But first lets talk about the pharmaceutical companies answer to impotence. Yep, if you are like me your email box is bombarded with messages about sex enhancing type products. But do they work and are they safe? Let's take a look at the leader in vasculogenic drug sales, which is still Viagra, but if you have watched any television lately you will see it has been getting stiff competition from the likes of Levitra and Cialisno pun intended.
What Is Viagra? (And is it SAFE?)
Viagra is a prescription medicine (sildenafil citrate) taken by mouth for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. ED is a condition where the penis does not harden and expand when a man is sexually excited, or when he cannot keep an erection. Viagra may help a man with ED get and keep an erection when he is sexually excited. Viagra must be used only under a doctor's care.
Pfizer originally clinically studied sildenafil citrate for use with patients with heart disease. Unfortunately, the scientists soon discovered that it was actually
weakening the hearts of the men volunteering for these trials, which was the opposite effect they were hoping for. But during the trials a pleasant side effect popped up (I know, I'm bad). Men were reporting an increase erectile function.
Pfizer soon changed the trials to the studying of erectile dysfunction and the rest is history. Once it passed FDA approval, Pfizer reported sales of 30,000 prescriptions the 1st week, 110,000 prescriptions the 2nd week and a total of 350,000 prescriptions filled by the end of the very first month. WOW! What a gold mine!
What was not so bragged about by Pfizer was the report by the FDA, which showed during its first year of sales, Viagra had 1473 adverse events. Included among those adverse events were:
255 serious heart rhythm disturbances
53 episodes of congestive heart failure
119 strokes
517 heart attacks
522 deaths
L-Arginine
has been shown to be a safe and effective alternative to Viagra

Do you know the difference between worry and panic? Worry is the first time you can't do it a second time. Panic is the second time you can't do it the first time.
Researchers today know that upwards of 80 percent of impotence cases can be linked to purely physical problems, from cardiovascular and neurological ailments to smoking and prescription drugs.
If you are a male over 40 years old you might be feeling the effects of impotency. At this age our body begins to experience the results of a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle. Science has discovered that high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, being overweight, and smoking not only are the leading indicators for heart disease, but also are indicators for sexual dysfunction.
In fact, so strong is the link between early impotence and atherosclerotic heart disease that some cardiologists have already begun considering impotence before sixty as an early biomedical marker for future heart problems.
