I’m shocked to learn how many men in their 40’s, or even younger, are on the little blue pill known as Viagra.  With any medication comes risk, and the side effects of Viagra are astounding, and as with all things natural, my opinion is there is a better way.

All medications interfere with your body’s natural ability to produce enzymes making it difficult to achieve homeostasis on its own.  In the case of Viagra, the enzymes called phosphodiesterase are delayed which prevents them from working too quickly thereby helping maintain an erection when the penis is physically stimulated.

Sounds great in theory, and I’m sure brings a lot of relief to men who suffer from ED, or Erectile Dysfunction, but the harmful side effects should make any man question whether it’s worth it or not.

Firstly, if you have heart or circulatory problems and take nitrate medications for chest pain, you shouldn’t take Viagra because this combination may result in low blood pressure.  Viagra can also affect your brain and spinal cord and lead to difficulty sleeping, slow reflex response, lack of coordination, tremors and vertigo, and you may experience depression, nerve pain or unusual dreams.

Some of the more severe side effects of taking Viagra include sudden visual or hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in your ears), chest pain, irregular heartbeat, trouble breathing and lightheadedness.  And although it sounds like the ideal version of a wet dream, your erection can be painful and last longer than 4 hours.

Now, when it comes to the effects it has on your digestive system, side effects can include rectal bleeding, vomiting or dry mouth or infections in your esophagus, stomach, or colon, which most people will treat with antibiotics exacerbating an already compromised condition.

To make matters worse, the very reason you’re taking it in the first place can be jeopardized as there are sexual side effects that may occur as a result of sexual activity which include nausea, dizziness and numbness or tingling in your arms, chest or jaw.  Not too sexy…

Viagra can also have devastating effects on your red and white blood cells, leaving you open to infection, and can contribute to low blood sugar leading to hypoglycemia or diabetes.

Although it may seem like there are no other options when it comes to impotency, there are.  It’s a simple matter of balancing your body systems, particularly your hormones, so that you feel like a 20 year old again.

With all the toxins in our environment nowadays, it’s really no surprise ED is running rampant amongst men.  Xeno hormones are man made hormones that block receptor sites and disrupt the natural uptake of hormones in your body, damaging your liver and leaving toxic waste in their aftermath.

According to the Mayo Clinic, in most cases ED is caused by something physical such as heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, low testosterone, smoking, diabetes, amongst others, and it can also be caused by psychological conditions like depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions.  Stress is a well-known driver too along with relationship problems and an inability to communicate.

So what’s a horny middle aged guy to do if they’re not sold on the efficacy of Viagra?  My solution: try enzyme therapy.

Enzymes are responsible for the chemical conversion process that takes place in your body which results in better digestion, better immunity, and more energy. How they do it is by getting nutrients past even a compromised gut and into your bloodstream where they’re needed.

The outcome is a perfectly balanced body, including your hormones like testosterone that depend on protein and fat to feed your endocrine system, so that it keeps functioning and producing erections.

No Viagra needed.
