- "My woody's outside
- Covered with snow,
- ...No place to go, now.
- New York's a lonely town,
- When you're the
- Only surfer-boy around."
-
- --The Trade Winds - peaked at # 32 in 1965
-
- OK, forgetting we're not really talking about those "Woodies"
aforementioned -a station-wagon side-paneled in wood to save metal during
the second great war- you can, as it happens, still buy 100 different
herbal formulas to help with the "other" woody... libido's woody.
Though, in some ways this is sort of like taking "Herbal Viagra."
By that I mean the herbal formulas to which I allude likely do little
or nothing to correct the underlying deficiency causing the dysfunction,
eh? That's the real issue.
-
- Consequently, one is encouraged do first things first:
cover all the nutritional bases from the start.
-
- See, just like every other ailment or dysfunction suffered,
it makes opportune sense to correct whatever deficiencies are causing
the problem at its root. This is apart from any peripheral cause, eh?
In other words, the reader shouldn't be satisfied alleviating mere symptoms
while ironically facilitating that which causes those frustrating flaccid
"symptoms," to begin with, right? Too, as well, addressing
the root causes of Woody's ailment provides serendipitous protections
for heart, brain, joints... everything moving that "woodie"
around - and providing for the DESIRE to use it, at all! Remember, as
we have said before in many other of these papers: covering ALL the nutritional
bases has the potential to fix just about anything adjacent and associated
with or even completely disassociated with the malady suffered.
-
- OK... let me "back-pedal" a bit...
-
- I'm likely being a tad unfair when referring to libido
enhancing herbs as "Herbal Viagra" - especially in comparison
with Dodgy pharmz. Consider that virtually ALL herbs have numerous "side-
effects" which are, almost always, very beneficial... unlike Viagra
& virtually ALL other pharmaceuticals! These latter, as we have pointed
out many, many times, have SIDE-EFFECTS ranging from nuisance to life
threatening... does blindness or deafness qualify as "disqualifying
side effects," reader?
-
- Consider instead the popular sex-drive herb, Gotu Kola!
This herb also protects your heart, brain, liver, connective tissue &
much more. Also, another widely used herb for impotence, Maca Root,
increases energy while it boosts your natural immunity. There are many
of these "Libido-Herbs" which are similarly multifaceted.
-
- Beware still, reader! It's smart to read up on side-effects
for ANY herb you take because some may be problematic! For example "Yohimbe
Bark," recommended below, can cause an unsafe increase in blood pressure
if you are already on the high side. So, obviously, you must be fit &
without heart, liver or kidney disease to use it.
-
- Anyway, take the following and remember, even as this
list is tailored towards "Woody Enhancement," it will simultaneously
protect your heart, brain & every other organ:
-
- 1.. Take a good Multi.Vit/Min avoiding any multi's with
mineral forms which are Carbonate or Oxide - look for: Minerals that are
Amino-Acid Chelated, Kreb's Cycle, Citrate, Malate, Lactate, Gluconate,
Polynicotinate, et al. Also if the Vit. E is the "dl" form...PUT
IT BACK. Vit.E should be "d" alpha or "Natural-Mixed"
Tocopherol.
-
- FYI : It was Mother-Nature's intention for us to get
all 8 forms of Vit.E to achieve complete synergy ...so take a soft-gel
with the 4 Tocotrienols (a tad expensive) along with the 4 Tocopherols
found in the "Natural-Mixed" soft-gel. Or you can get all 8
in one soft- gel. If money is a concern...it is better to take very small
amounts of all 8 as opposed to a huge amount of just the one major form,
"d" alpha tocopherol.
-
- 2.. EFA's - To get "Complex" Omega-3's take
Krill Oil (more expensive but superior to fish oil) take 2 to 5 grams
w. food. OR Fish Oil (cheaper) take 2 to 8 grams daily. Also, to get
some "Complex" Omega-6 (GLA) & a synergistic balance with
the Omega-3's - take 2 to 4 grams of Black Currant Oil with the fish or
krill oils.
-
- EFA's help make sperm & seminal fluid while protecting
your heart & brain - not forgetting that the Eskimos, who consume
mass- quantities of "Complex" Omega-3's in fish oil, etc. as
opposed to "Simple" Omega-3 in Flaxseed, are people famous for
being "Frisky" little "Nose-Rubbers", vital well into
old age... which translates into many years of "gittin' jiggy with
it" because the traditionally dieted Inuit live longer than the rest
of us.
-
- 3.. Vit.C with bioflavonoids - boost testosterone &
a million other healthful things.
-
- 4.. DMG - take 2 SUBLINGUAL (under the tongue) tablets
of Food Science DMG... 1 AM & 1 PM, (it's cheap). Dilates blood vessels
for erection while it pumps up your immune system - reduces BP, reduces
cholesterol & triglycerides, while stabilizing glucose.
- This is actually a "Libido-Supplement" because
there is really no such thing as a DMG deficiency... but it can help you
in a multitude of different ways in addition to those above.
-
- 5.. Zinc & Copper - always take together! Take 30mg
& 2mg in addition to the Z & C in your multi. Z & C boost
testosterone & is one of the most powerful free-radical fighting
Combo's out there! And for the Ladies - it is essential for healthy Hair,
Skin & Nails.
-
- 6.. Selenium - Take 300 to 400mcg of Amino-Acid Chelated
form (also called selenomethionine), in addition to the amount in your
multi should total 500mcg or less. Does everything good... from fighting
impotency to cancer & heart disease protection. Vast areas (along
with many people) are selenium deficient & don't know it.
-
- 7.. B-25 or B-50 Complex - take 2 (B-25's) daily w/o
food, 1 AM & 1 PM. or take 1 (B-50) in AM. The Riboflavin will make
your urine sparkle, greenish-yellow. It's a good thing... it just means
every cell has reached Vit.B-2 "saturation". If it is more
convenient, go ahead and take B Complex with food.
-
- 8.. DHEA - *WARNING WILL ROBINSON!*, "Young adults
DO NOT need DHEA"... take 25 mg for a month or 2, then stop. If
you notice a positive difference while taking the DHEA and if you want
to continue taking the DHEA then you should spend about $130 times 2
and have your MD or HMO give you 2 DHEA tests (start & after about
3 months) to make sure you don't take too much. It is a hormone that
if used in large doses for a long time will make your fingers grow longer
& other unhealthful things. My military contracted HMO will pay for
the DHEA test but most will not.
-
- Keep this in mind regarding DHEA... the so called "normal
range" is very wide, like 50 to 500. This is because when you are
age 21 your DHEA might be 450 but if you are 50 years old it has likely
fallen to about 75 or lower. So this (75) may still be in the "normal"
range - but why settle for that "old-man" end of the spectrum
when you can take supplemental DHEA (like maybe 25 to 50mg daily) &
pump that sucker back up to "Young & Studly" levels... around
400 or so. Mine went from about 50, up to 450 after 3 months of 50mg
daily...now I take 25mg most days. "You must get tested or leave
it alone"!!
-
- 9.. Sun-dried Sea-Salt - to get the 70+ trace minerals,
in particular natural iodine for your thyroid...virtually every bodily
process uses several, if not many of the 70+ trace minerals as co- factors.
Also, don't fall for the "No-Salt, Low-Salt" crapola... you
need a moderate amount of salt to make the stomach acid necessary to digest
food, at all, especially protein. Salt is required.
-
- 10.. Yohimbe Bark - this is the one herb that gets alot
of good press for expanding blood vessels, but be cognizant of the possibility
of an increase in BP.
-
- 11.. L-Arginine - a powerful cancer-fighter, found in
seminal fluid...also increases blood flow (a vasodilator) so reduces BP.
- Like ALL amino-acids, take w/o food. Actually if these
items were in descending order of "Woody" efficacy, L-Arginine
would be close to the top of the list! Some research indicates that you
should take a 2 or 3 week break from large doses of L-Arginine every few
months.
-
- Questions? alan068@centurytel.net
-
- Also: To insure you have half-way descent absorption
of all the items above it would be smart to do the following:
-
- 1.. Take a broad spectrum Digestive Enzyme Formula with
the start of every meal:
-
- (a)..Other than containing the necessary main 3 enzymes,
Amylase (carbs), Protease (protein) & Lipase (fats), I would also
want Cellulase (digests cellulose) & Lactase (if you consume dairy).
-
- Some labels might list Pancreatin which actually contains
the main 3 enzymes. So if the label listed - Pancreatin & Cellulase,
then you have the 4 minimal bases covered. However, why not go ahead
& get a formula with 6 or 8 different enzymes...it's cheap &
extremely efficacious!
-
- (b)..If you have no gall bladder then take a formula
with Ox- Bile...or take a separate "Bile-Salts" supplement with
your enzymes. Bile is needed to digest "Fats"...like the critical
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) listed above.
- (c)..If you're over 45 it would be OK to take a formula
with some Betaine HCL (stomach acid in a capsule)...as long as it does
not burn your esophagus or stomach.
-
- 2.. Take a "Heat stabilized" or "Freeze-Dried"
Probiotic (good Gut bacteria) every AM on an empty stomach & if you
want a very synergistic amino-acid that is dirt cheap, then take a couple
of grams of L-Glutamine with your probiotics...this will lengthen your
intestinal villi for greater absorption & better toxin protection.
-
- Lastly...Brain Chemistry expressed by that warm &
fuzzy feeling directly effects aggregate "Woodiness," so to
speak... and I don't mean the hazardous way SSRI's, like Zolof, provide
you with "Used" Serotonin, ("has anybody seen the key to
the gun cabinet ?") -- I mean do it the way we evolved or the way
God made us, if you prefer!
-
- Never consume sugar or flour! This public enemy #1 causes
depression & then makes you crave more of the same thing causing
the depression... more sugar please. Instead, consume highly digestible
(not denatured) protein! This decreases your craving for carbs while it
accelerates tryptophan into your brain, in turn stimulating the production
of Serotonin. Whey Protein Isolate & raw egg yolks are good sources.
-
- Also get as much sunlight as you can on your skin &
in your eyes, short of burning... this also produces Serotonin along with
Vit.D's Skin Cancer-Protection as a result of the sun's UV manufactured
Vit.D-3. Alan, you mean the sun (short of burning) helps protect you
from skin cancer... that's right, Buckaroo - we are being lied to.
-
- Closing, proper nutrition is not a quick-fix to a manly
"caber" a burly Scotsman couldn't toss, like Viagra purports,
but the reader would rather, I'm sure, build an erectional skyscraper
from the strongest foundation on up -floor by sturdy floor- using materials
that won't make the occupant go blind or provoke a stroke, eh? That's
what Viagra is reader: third rate quick-fix concrete in a substandard
construction. I suspect I'm not far off.
-
- Besides, remember that Viagra won't create desire if
there is none there to start; it only creates the "Faux-Woody"!
No, reader, on reflection I think you'll agree that a senselessly uninformed
consumption of "penis-dope" is decidedly not an intelligent
solution to your woody malfunction. Hey! Just say no.
-
- That's enough.
-
- Well be!
