Posted By Discussion Topic: Natural Treatment of ED   Aldrich07 10-06-2010 @ 12:40 PM                           reply Member Joined: Oct 2010 A plethora of erectile dysfunction cures, remedies and treatments exist on the market today. As an ED sufferer, you have a choice of everything from creams to lotions, pumps to pills, rings to surgery, and much more.  Do all of these options work? Put bluntly, some do, some don't but perhaps more importantly they all have their downsides, and often hazards. Some, like implants, require expensive and sometimes painful surgery. Others, such as vacuum pumps and creams, are inconvenient to use and may even be embarrassing in the company of a new partner. Chemical options - blue pills and the like - are known to be effective but many users report undesirable side effects when using them.So natural home remedies are are quite effective. # Eat whole, fresh, unrefined, and unprocessed foods. Include fruits (lots of richly pigmented berries to support vascular integrity), vegetables, whole grains, soy, beans, seeds, nuts, olive oil, and cold-water fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, halibut, and mackerel). Avoid sugar, dairy products, refined foods, fried foods, junk foods, and caffeine.Eliminate food sensitivities. Use an elimination and challenge diet elimination and challenge diet to determine food sensitivities.Drink 50% of your body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., if you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 oz of water daily). pod17 10-06-2010 @ 2:10 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 Do you really live that healthily yourself?? It's a great theory that I totally support, but seriously, that's hard to keep up (pardon the pun) Every once in a while I have a burger and few pints. It's antisocial not too! I'm impressed if you stick to that routine constantly. I'm taking Cialis to sort out my issue. Other than that I'm just trying to live my life without being too freakish about stuff. tommy32 11-01-2010 @ 10:26 AM                           reply Member Joined: Sep 2009 it's really hard to stick to a completely healthy diet - i mean it basically is a way of life.  While I am on my ed meds i avoid eating a lot and stick to a beer and that's it.  Otherwise it wont work as effectively for me. What about you pod, do you do things differently when you are on the meds? Tommy pod17 11-01-2010 @ 6:18 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 Not really Tommy. I do take silica supplements for my hair (I'm using propecia too...I'm a walking pharmacy!) But for my ED obviously I try not to go crazy with the alcohol before or when I'm taking Cialis (I mean, I'll have a beer or glass of wine tops) but if I'm not taking it then I have a drink most evenings. Unfortunately, it helps me unwind. But I eat pretty healthily, and luckily quite like going to the gym. I don't feel guilty about my lifestyle at all. tommy32 11-03-2010 @ 8:23 AM                           reply Member Joined: Sep 2009 As i suffer from Ed I didnt want to start suffereing from other ailments so I try and keep healthy, especially with keeping my heart strong. I notice the healthier I am the better my sex life.  When i am lazy and piggy my libido goea right down! Tommy pod17 11-30-2010 @ 11:54 AM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 That's a good point there - I think if you're lazy and out of shape you're not going to be confident in the bedroom anyway. I don't have a six pack or anything - those days are long gone - but I'm not fat. I've got a pretty flat stomach. If I had insecurities about my body on top of the insecurties about my performance, I'd be a wreck! It definitely helps to keep fit and healthy. bb22 11-30-2010 @ 9:17 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 The better the body of the woman im sleeping with, the faster i go! its a real problem for my PE. if she's a real stunner im worry even the priligy's not going to do it! RockHard 07-27-2011 @ 6:16 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jul 2011 see i didnt know pigmented berries support 'vascular integrity' - that's useful right there.I defintely drink too much caffeine too and I've found there's a very strong link between caffeine and ED. So I've basically been shooting myself in the food every day by drinking 7/8 cups of coffee... check it out: high caffeine use might cause the adrenal glands to produce excess amounts of cortisol to deal with the additional stimulation of the central nervous system resulting in stress. Overuse of the adrenal gland means reduced ability for it to produce the hormones needed for sexual response to cause an erection. there goes my coffee habit. pod17 07-27-2011 @ 11:38 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jan 2010 I'm down to just one cup of coffee a day now - any more stresses me out. But its the booze that I really find it hard to ration. I do, but on the nights when I'm not using Cialis I tend to drink alot to make up for lost time. That's probably not good for my liver.. RockHard 08-10-2011 @ 10:05 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jul 2011 I found that by not drinking when I took cialis for the first time last weekend, I was clear headed and could really concentrate my mind on sex. By focusing on my partner I didnt let that annoying parrot on my shoulder talk me out of being up to it. I think being sober really helped - which is odd, becuase I like a drink to relax.
