[YEA]  10/21/2008: Gary from Mobile, AL: "I have been using cayenne pepper for years on food since I love spicy foods. Since I have been taking it as a tea my sinus issues have finished! However, I have found one side-effect that may not be a bad thing; at times about 30 minutes after drinking the tea I get a Viagra effect. Must be increased circulation? I am a believer and always take it with me when traveling."

[YEA]  03/16/2008: Dan from Dunedin, New Zealand: "I found an amazing cure for low libido, by complete accident. I was using deer velvet to repair my knees after a marathon I had recently run. I was taking seven 250mg tablets a day, within days of taking them, my sex drive was back to how it was when I was a teenager."

[YEA]  07/21/2008: Tom from Manhattan, NY: "Being in my early 50's I've experienced a significant decrease in my libido over the past several years. Various factors can be attributed to it, age & increased stress, etc. Although a part of me doesn't miss the added distraction of testosterone, I decided to experiment with many different natural enhancers. Most have a general stimulating "edgy" effect which I don't care for. I recently started taking Hydrilla for an occasional food based Calcium and a surprising side effect has been with my libido. More so with erectile dysfunction than enhanced desire. It is considered a nuisance weed, but it is loaded with minerals, so it probably had something my body was lacking. It has a calming (calcium) effect as well."

[YEA]  01/17/2008: kevin from cranston, ri: "Dr. Robert Rowen reports re: a study wherein 80% of males regained erections and 80% of women were satisfied with their increase in libido.They took 2 tbs/day of a green powder called Kyo-Greens.(ref: Pr Med Sci Monit,2003;9(2)' Many have also benefited from Prelox."

06/20/2009: rick from knoxville, tn: "Mucuna pruriens is a tropical bean and is a natural source of dopamine. Dopamine is intimately connected to arousal. It is also the critical brain chemical in Parkinson's Disease, a disorder that I have dealt with for 17 years.

A group of we PWP were experimenting with the use of Muruna last year and I can attest to its effects upon male libido. But, let's face it, a good glass of tap water can qualify for many men.

What was unusual, however, was that women reported similar effects. As one of the first to notice commented, "I knew something was up when my ex- started loooking good!"

I can't suggest a dosage since the PD has an independent effect that would make such info irrelevant, so you will have to do some trial and error. It can be ordered as a raw powder via Amazon. Since mentioning a specific brand is discouraged here, I will only say that the excellent product which I used was grown in the US, was organic, and was only about $10 to $15 per pound. One caution, the powder is an incredible black stain once it is wet. The only thing that takes it off of enameled steel is oxyclean type remover."

[YEA]  01/13/2009: Lori from Spring Lake, NC: "Ladies, I must be the lucky one. After 7 weeks post surgery I am going strong, but very carefully...of course. But Im going to share my vitamin protocol with you. I was horny after three weeks of surgery.(yes,.. i waited!!) I had lyposc hyst while keeping my ovaries. i had a severe prolapse from a hard labor 19 years ago..! I have always had a great sex drive and have been very good with how I approach my health. I am 42 and have been using apple cider vinegar and water as a supplement for twenty years. I eat very well with juicing my veggies and using coconut oil. But... for the sex drive I have been taking Fennugreek and saw palmetto for quite a while. I find that taking the saw palmetto seperately about an hour or so before I plan my attack is better. I also started adding dong quai with my fennugreek three weeks before my surgery for the added benefit of helping my hormones. Fennugreek, and dong quai are estro helpers and toners. Saw palmetto is more for the male prostate but is also a female toner and great for the libido. L arginnine is in all the sex supplements and I have also been using this for years as I am in the army and do alot of training with various aminos.

Daily I take Fennugreek and dong quai in the morning with my breakfast and in the afternoon when i come for lunch I take my saw palmetto. Now i must tell you that i take my supplements not for sex but because I will personnally NEVER take hormones because of my surgery. Thats just my creed and i am not a doctor but I am blessed with my health and happy I recoverered so well. I also take Kyrogreens everyday in my juice or shake and I have noted on the website" Earthclinic" that others have said that the Kyrogreens helped them with libido. Again, I take this supplement because it contains greens like kelp and wheatgrass ( yesssss..I am one of those...) not for the other. For extra stealth in the bedroom I take 2000 mg L arginnine plus 4 x.320mg saw palmetto if you're planning on sex within a couple of hours. I prefer to get my supplements from Swanson herbs as they carry good extracts and are almost as cheap as MOI. I hope this helps someone, I almost never blog but our health is our energy and we should treat ours bodies as blessed friends.. Give a hoot ...dont pollute.. "

[YEA]  09/23/2008: Linsa from Columbus, Ohio: "Omega 3 with dha and epa for low libido. When I get the right amount of omega 3's in me and take the proper amount everyday it's like a light switch being turned on for my libido. This works because the oil nourishes the brain and gets all the connections firing!"

[YEA]  07/20/2009: Michael from Bangkok, Thailand: "I stumbled upon this, supposedly from UCLA and Univ. of Cal. Any earthclinic experiences out there?

"Pomegranate boosts sex drive and fights prostate cancer."

Luckily, I'm far from prostate cancer, but I can confirm that pomegranate juice indeed seemed to increase my sex drive.

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Pomegranate-Juice-Boosts-Sex-Drive-and-Erection-73092.shtml

"The new research incorporated 53 male subjects with libido problems. After a month, about 50 % of the subjects said that their sexual performances increased after consuming pomegranate juice."

"A quarter of litter of pomegranate juice daily raised the stability period of prostate cancer by 4 times, with such a significant effect... ""

[YEA]  02/16/2007: Toma from Chicago, IL: "The supplement STEEL LIBIDO (irwinnaturals.com) helps to boost libido. You can also try YOHIMBE. And if you decide to take DHEA to increase sexual desire, do research about side effects before it and take it only under the doctor's supervision. Eating right, losing weight, keeping fit, stopping smoking and drinking in moderation alcoholic beverages, also, plays a big role in having good libido. Also, for guys: try taking HOT & COLD SHOWER before sex."

[YEA]  12/01/2008: Erik from West Valley City, Utah: "I would like to share my experience with the famous tomato tea. I actually took it for a nasty cold I was having and took it right before bed, then when I hopped into bed and tried going to sleep, the "mood" struck me as I was lying next to my wife. We immediately started going at it and she was able to have THREE orgasms before she told me to hurry up and finish because she couldn't handle the sensations anymore. :) I have never had a problem with premature ejaculation but I have always wanted to be the stud I was in my younger years. Now that I have four kids in the house, sex isn't exactly a constant routine for us, so building up stamina is a little out of the question. I would recommend this tea to all the guys out there and see if it works for you as well. Good luck guys!"

03/25/2009: JR from Dunedin, FL: "I have heard that zinc is very important for good sexual health."
