Now Viagra For Lung Fibrosis Sufferers

Everybody’s heard about how the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra can cure male impotence but few people know that it is being used by researchers as a possible treatment for men and women who suffer from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This condition which is a terminal lung disease which damages and destroys lung tissue tends to kill individuals between three and five years after they are diagnosed. The upside is that with the use of Viagra which improves blood supply to blood vessels it may be possible to extend the life expectancy of sufferers.
Dr. David A. Zisman, at the Sansum Clinic based in Santa Barbara, California who conducted the recent research looked at a group of 180 men and women suffering from advanced stages pulmonary fibrosis. He divided them into two groups and gave them either 20mg of Viagra or a placebo tablet for a period of twelve weeks.

While there was only a little difference in the percentages of those who recorded a 20 percent or bigger improvement in the distance they were able to cover in six minutes many of the patients using the Viagra reported that they were able to breathe more easily and reported a significant improvement in their quality of life. It must be stressed that the Viagra would not in any way cure idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis but would just enable sufferers to experience its degenerative effects more slowly.

The study which was partly funded by the manufacturer of Viagra, namely Pfizer was published by the New England Journal of Medicine and will be discussed at the annual general meeting of the American Thoracic Society soon to be held in Denver. Viagra has also been shown in other research projects to improve the breathing ability of athletes at high altitudes and it has been rumoured that it will be given to the England football team when they play at high altitudes in South Africa for the World Cup.

Kiss Your Mate Day

Kiss, the most beautiful expression of love and affection is today being celebrated as the 'Kiss Your Mate Day'. This day marks and honours the love between people who are struck by cupid.
The origin of 'Kiss Your Mate Day', has not been known but an association has been found out. In Rome, 28th April is celebrated as the celebration of Fordicida – the budding flowers of Spring. Though the two day have nothing in common but all we can say is that love and flowers both help to express love.


Kiss is always associated with love and specifically passion because, this act scintillates the two most sensuous parts of the body – lips and tongue. A kiss stimulates the nerve endings of these organs, which arouses passion and euphoria. Lip Locking is the most stimulating act and gets playful with the erogenous zones. This is one of the reasons, why a kiss is called the epitome of affection.

The Perfect Kiss

A warm long kiss has the ability to wipe off all the tears and build a new relationship. Before lip locking, make your eyes kiss. Romance
is first spilled through eyes and sends across the message to the partner. When eyes draw you close, brush your lips against each other to feel the passion rise. The rest happens almost by itself. What starts as a innocent kiss ends at a long smooch.

The longest kiss record is by a couple named Nikola Matovic and Kristina Reinhart from Germany. They kissed for 32 hours and 7 mints. The record was set in 2009.

Kiss Your Health

A kiss works wonders on your health.

1.Kiss elates your brain and brushes away all your stress and tension.
2.A single kiss burns two to three calories a minute.
3.A kiss works out 30 muscles of your face and thus keeps your face muscles tight.
4.Kissing a girl may set your pulses racing but it is good for your heart. It stabilizes the cardiovascular activities.
5.Kissing is the best way to cure anxiety. It rests your thoughts at peace.

In the 'Kiss Your Mate Day,' gift your mate the most passionate kiss.

Now Viagra Soup To Put Sparkle Back In Love Life

It's not exactly the right time of year to be eating a hearty meal. But for any women who just cannot wait for the launch of female Viagra, a restaurant called El Rey in Brooklyn, New York, is offering up a wintery meal that could just put some sparkle back into your love life.

The restuarant is serving up Viagra soup – a potent combination of oysters, crab, clam, cilantro and tequila, among other ingredients – that they promise will make you horny. It is a well known fact that oysters are aphrodisiacs, boosting your desire levels. And the restaurant owners insist that the other items of seafood also help to get you in the mood. The soup is particularly popular on a Friday night, according to its makers.

While there is no substitute for genuine Viagra , this broth is definitely one way to spice things up.

Other natural aphrodisiacs

Nature provides us with plenty of natural sex-drive enhancers, if we look hard enough for them. One of these is Rhodiola, a plant found in Russia that fights the underlying causes of a fading sexual appetite, including stress. Another is the Chinese herb, intriguingly titled Horny Goat Weed. This plant is so similar to Viagra, that its existence has stopped Viagra-makers Pfizer from putting a full patent on their impotence drug.

The animal kingdom also contains libido-boosters, such as Spanish Fly, a powerful liquid chemical released by a beetle to seduce its mate. Luckily for humans, it also works for our species too.

Cialis boosts sex after spinal cord injuries

The impotence pill Cialis appears to work even in men with spinal cord injuries, French researchers said on Monday.

Impotence often follows spinal cord injuries. Only about 25 percent of men with such injuries are capable of having sex, Dr. Francois Giuliano and colleagues at the Raymond Poincare Hospital in Garches, France said.

They found that Cialis tripled the number of times the men could have sex.

Their study, funded by Eli Lilly and Co, maker of tadalafil or Cialis, involved 197 men with an average age of 38 in France, Germany, Italy and Spain with spinal cord injuries.

After a one-month waiting period, in which no one got treatment, a questionnaire to assess sexual function found both groups had moderate erectile dysfunction , Giuliano's team reported in the Archives of Neurology.

Then 142 men were assigned to the Cialis group and 44 got a placebo for a 12-week period, taking no more than one pill daily as needed before sexual activity.

After 4 months, men taking Cialis were successful nearly half the time they attempted intercourse, while men in the placebo group succeeded only 16.8 percent of the time.

Cialis and similar drugs work by increasing blood flow to the genitals.

The researchers said the Cialis study achieved success similar to that found in studies of Pfizer Inc.'s Viagra or sildenafil and Glaxosmithkline Plc's Levitra or vardenafil, all of which improved erections in men with impotence after spinal cord injury.

€1 million spent on Viagra-like drugs in HSE West

LIMERICK CITY and county has the highest public spend on Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs per head of population in the HSE West area.

Figures released by the HSE show that spending on erectile dysfunction drugs topped €1 million through the medical card system for the first time in 2008 in the HSE West area.

HSE West forum member Cllr Brian Meaney (Green) called on the HSE yesterday to reduce the monthly “allowance” on the drugs to public patients.

The figures show that the spend on erectile dysfunction drugs, including Viagra and Cialis, increased by 6 per cent in 2008 in the HSE West area, which stretches from Donegal to Limerick.

A sum of just over €1.021 million was spent on the drugs in 2008 – an increase of €63,771 on the €957,320 expenditure in 2007.

Public patients are restricted to purchasing four Viagra-type tablets per month by the HSE. Each prescription costs about €25, along with a dispensing fee to the chemist.

The figures show that most of the people receiving the drugs were in the 55-64 age category, accounting for 30 per cent or €306,584 of the spend in 2008.

In the breakdown provided, the figures show that those aged in the 65-74 age category accounted for 25 per cent or €258,205 of the spend, while those aged 45-54 accounted for 22 per cent or €226,750.

Viagra and Cialis are the market leaders, with Viagra being the most popular drug accounting for 57.4 per cent of the spend. Both drugs regularly feature on the HSE’s top 100 most commonly dispensed drugs.

The figures show that the spend on the erectile dysfunction drugs in Limerick represents 22.7 per cent of the total spend in the HSE West area despite having only 18 per cent of the region’s males aged over 24, according to 2006 Census figures.

Some 19.9 per cent of the spend on erectile dysfunction drugs was made in Co Galway; 14.8 per cent in Co Donegal; 11.5 per cent in Co Mayo; 10 per cent in Co Clare; 6.5 per cent in Sligo/Leitrim; and 6.2 per cent in Roscommon. An additional 8.4 per cent of overall spend went to the Limerick/East Tipperary area.

The public spend per head of the male population aged over 24 years of age in Limerick was €3.9 compared with €2.7 in Galway and Clare. The per capita spend was €3.1 in Roscommon; €2.8 in Mayo; €2.4 in Co Donegal; and €2.2 in Sligo/Leitrim.

Nationally, the spend on Cialis and Viagra, the two most popular drugs in 2008, increased by 6 per cent from €2.2 million to €2.4 million.

Yesterday, Cllr Meaney said: “Across the HSE West area, the service is facing significant cutbacks this year and I don’t see why patients receiving erectile dysfunction drugs should be immune from that, and a reduction of four tablets to three per month sounds reasonable. That could save the taxpayer €250,000 per annum in the HSE West area.”

The HSE has said that Viagra is also prescribed for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), adding that “it is not possible to quantify how much of the expenditure on medications on the information provided is for treating erectile dysfunction or Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension or other conditions”.

Coming soon: Female Viagra

A female equivalent of Viagra could soon be available to help women achieve the Big O, claim scientists.

A team working for Pfizer, the pharmaceutical firm behind Viagra , in Sandwich, Kent, has uncovered a substance that boosts female sexual arousal, increasing her chance of orgasm.

The findings could pave the way for a drug similar in effect to Viagra, which has helped countless men.

In the study, using a novel prototype drug, researchers discovered more about the mechanisms underlying female sexual arousal.

The finding is published in the British Journal of Pharmacology.

The boffins found that electrically stimulating the pelvic nerve increases blood flow to the genitalia, and that this effect was enhanced if they also gave a prototype drug (UK-414,495).

They believe that the drug acts by blocking the breakdown of an internal chemical messenger that plays a key role in increasing blood flow during sexual arousal.

When women become aroused, blood flow increases to the vagina, labia and clitoris. This causes the organs to swell, and the vagina to relax, as well as increasing vaginal lubrication and the sensitivity of the genitalia.

Female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) affects up to 40percent of women irrespective of age. These women find that their genital organs do not respond to sexual stimulation, they find arousal difficult and this causes them to become distressed.

"Before this work, we knew surprisingly little about the processes that control all of these changes," says the lead researcher in the project Chris Wayman. "Now we are beginning to establish the pathways involved in sexual arousal scientists may be able to find ways of helping women who would like to overcome FSAD."

In the study, researchers stimulated the pelvic nerve and measured changes in genital organs.

They believed the genital arousal occurred because stimulation of the nerve triggered the release of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a well-known neurotransmitter. VIP has only a short-lived effect, because it is soon broken down by an enzyme called Neutral Endopeptidase (NEP).

The researchers believe that their prototype drug increased the arousal because it blocked NEP's ability to break down VIP, therefore letting the VIP have a more powerful and prolonged effect increasing arousal.

Good Sex To Stay Happy Healthy & Fit

A good sex life is one way to stay happy, healthy and fit.

There are at least nine ways that having sex once a week can benefit your health. They are:

6. Help tone your abs, gluts and pretty much any muscle in your body
7. Natural increases in estrogen improve the appearance of your hair, skin and nails
8. Improve your memory because blood flow increases to your brain
9. Increased feelings of motivation because of the release of endorphins


Needless to say that sex plays a major role in human life But today if all the issues behind today's people's depressions and frustrations are shortlisted then sexual dissatisfaction will come on the top.One of the major reasons of men's sexual dissatisfaction is erectile dysfunction .
These days' stress depression and high blood pressure are common problem for everyone but when it causes to affect men's sexual health it commonly called Erectile Dysfunction or impotence.
erectile dysfunction is quite basic among men and it's not just the aged men who are affected with this sexual disorder. A large number of young guys in their twenty also face problems achieving hard and firm erections

Causes behind Erectile Dysfunction in Men

Poor or sluggish blood flow to the penis
Reduced Secretion of Nitric Oxide
Lifestyle Issues similar obesity, excessive smoking, use of recreational medicine, alcohol abuse etc., -
Psychological Issues: Emotional and psychological issues account for almost 10-20% of all cases of ED or impotence in men. Strain, depression, performance anxiety, relationship troubles can all be a deterrent as far as your ability to get hard and firm erections is concerned.
There are cures that can help men get over ED or impotence..

Many men have suffered from this dysfunction at one point or another, but the good news is that, it can still be treated and a man can enjoy having sex with his partner. You can also deal with erectile dysfunction by getting drugs for it. Drugs like Viagra , Levitra and Cialis can be used to treat this condition in men. All this drugs have been tested on men. It also helps man getting as well as giving his female partner the pleasured sexual experience for longer.


Boost your self esteem with more sex

And this is actually only the tip of the iceberg. Sex has also been found to boost self-esteem and improve intimacy in your relationship. This is because sex and orgasms result in increased levels of the hormone oxytocin — the “love” hormone — that helps you feel bonded to your partner.

As oxytocin increases, so do hormones known as endorphins, which in turn lessens feelings of pain related to everything from headaches and arthritis to symptoms of PMS. It can also help you to get a better night’s sleep.

Use sex to strengthen your muscles

Further, for women, having sex can help strengthen muscles of your pelvic floor (the same ones used to stop urination). As you age, having strong pelvic floor muscles reduces your risk of accidents.

Of course, these benefits are assuming you’re having sex with a mutually monogamous partner – otherwise you risk catching a sexually transmitted disease.

Sexual pleasure begins in your brain

Your brain and nervous system control your sex glands and genitals, and this is why they also control your sexual desire, as well as orgasms. This is why, for example, visual images trigger sexual desire in both sexes.

Your brain stem also emits nerve impulses that control erectile function. These nerve impulses navigate through the erection centre of your spinal column to the erectile tissue of your penis, where they trigger a chain reaction in the membranes of your vascular muscle cells.

This sophisticated chain reaction is dependent on a messenger molecule called cyclic guanosine monophosphate, or cGMP.

However, this works in reverse as well; an erection softens as soon as another enzyme called phosphodiesterase starts to degrade the cGMP molecules.

Drugs like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis work by inhibiting phosphodiesterase, which may help maintain your erection.

Anxiety and fear take a toll on your libido

As you might suspect, because your sexuality is so intimately tied to your mind, anxiety, defensiveness, fear, and failure of communication are all destructive psychological forces that can take a heavy toll on your libido, whether you’re a man or a woman, by acting as road blocks to desire.
