Natural recommendations for erectile dysfunction

Posted By Jrenee (Dayton, Ohio, Usa) on 09/20/2010

I'd like to know what my husband can do "naturally" to help erectile dysfunction due to slightly enlarged prostate and type II diabetes. Of course we've tried medications but I don't like being dependent on them when we can use natural and less harmful means. Any help would be appreciated!

Read the post above yours entitled "Borax Side Effects- Response from Ted", dated Sept. 21, 2010. It tells of a natural cure for you.

Web search for Tongkat Ali, Eleuthero, Ashwaganda & Maca, Zinc & Arginine. Since your husband has type 2 diabetes, Pycnogenol, could be a good choice for it's effect on blood sugar and blood flow. (use caution if he is taking medication)

Cayenne pepper has a fairly quick effect on blood flow. In traditional Chinese medicine they would treat this as a kidney deficiency with herbs such as Epimedium grandiflorum (Horny Goat Weed) or formulas such as Huan Shao Dan (Lycium Formula) or Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Eight Formula). Do some research on these & seek out a good TCM practitioner in your area. It is trial & error to see which combo works best, as some can be over stimulating... (like ginseng).. Also a link on Pycnogenol and blood sugar..

The herb ginkgo is used for erectile dysfunction, particularly in people who experience sexual dysfunction as a side effect of antidepressant drugs. It appears to relax smooth muscle and enhance blood flow in the penis.

My recomendation for your husband, is to lose weight and get rid of his diabetes..... The diet is definitely a change of lifestyle, but now that I am use to it, it is great. I lost 16 lbs in 1 1/2 months....

Diabetes? It is a self inflicted disease.....

Once his diabetes is cured, then I am sure he will also be well on is way to a hay sex life also...

IMHO....

To beat diabetes.....

You must become 80/10/10 vegan... In other words 80% carbs, 10% fat (or oil) and 10% protein. If you adopt this lifestyle, your diabetes will disapear forever!! ... Remember, NO meat, NO dairy and DEFINITELY NO added oil or fat in your diet. all your fat comes from the oils already present in fruits and vegetables.

There are various books on this low fat vegan diet. One diet (McDougal diet, relies on starch based plants for calories (potatoes, rice etc... )... The 80/10/10 diet relies on raw fruits for calories... Still the same.... NO FAT! NO MEAT! NO DAIRY! Say "Good-Bye" to diabetes, cancer, heart disease and strokes...

There is no need for anyone to suffer from type II diabetes...seriously....
