 An 11-year-old child recently won a viagra bear in a game at a Red Robin restaurant in Minneapolis, reports a local TV station. The cuddly bear sported a viagra T-shirt but no pants. (It was a HALF-NAKED viagra bear!) The child's parents were so disturbed by the event that they popped some Prozac and warned the child, "Just say no to medication for erectile dysfunction!"
Red Robin restaurants have pulled the viagra bears from their game machines, replacing them with Prozac Pistols that let children simulate violent school shootings after taking psychotropic medications. |

 The reason why Viagra's so effective: It stimulates the chain reaction that allows blood to flow into the penis by prolonging nitric oxide's effect. NO stimulates a chain of events that dilates those arteries so much that the return of blood from the penis through the veins is blocked. Rather than answer any of the several dozen junk e-mails selling viagra that you will receive today, talk to your doc about a prescription that helps stimulate that blood flow. Big caveat: viagra doesn't cure ED. |

 Celery contains arginine, a natural amino acid that expands blood vessels much like viagra. Yet, unlike viagra, arginine also increases blood flow to the clitoris and makes female genitals more responsive.
Furthermore, the actual aroma of celery contains two steroids called androsterone and androstenol. The research showed that the subtle odor of these two chemicals travels through the nose and attracts the opposite sex.
Celery has other benefits, too. It contains an ingredient acetylenics, which has been shown to stop the growth of cancer cells. |

 Saying viagra treated a disease also allowed advertisers to quietly appeal to the public's desire for self-improvement and -enhancement—while simultaneously pretending the drug wasn't really about improving anybody's sex life. viagra was for a disease, not for wild, all-night sex. |

 Designed to treat impotence, viagra is one of the best-selling drugs on the planet. Millions of men all over the world take the drug on a regular basis. viagra overrides the major causes of impotence: fear of intimacy, stress, overwork, depression, poor health habits, and partner conflicts. viagra and other copycat drugs allow the user to ignore (at least for the moment) the real reason why the ability to get an erection, a normal and natural occurrence in the male human animal, has begun to shut down. |

 The doctor says, "Well, you need viagra." So now they're on statin drugs and viagra. That's two prescriptions that they've got to take on a regular basis, and who knows what the side effect of viagra is when consumed over a long period of time?
The point to all of this is that the same guy could have gone to his doctor and said, "Doc, my cholesterol is too high," and then the doctor could have said, "Well, all you need to do is eat some blueberries and stop consuming hydrogenated oils and trans fats in your foods. That's all you need to do. Your cholesterol is going to come down naturally. |

| Who would have thought, though, that this common food could turn out to be far more effective than viagra or any other sex-enhancing drug ever produced? According to an exhaustive study of purported aphrodisiac foods, celery is the "sexiest" substance on earth. This unlikely-sounding candidate combines ideal amounts of vitamin E, magnesium, niacin, potassium and zinc—all required for optimum sex.
And it gets even better. Celery contains arginine, a natural amino acid that expands blood vessels much like viagra. |

Men with retinal or other eye diseases should avoid these products altogether. |

| Nitroglycerin and viagra are dangerous together because there's too much dilation and low blood pressure. That can cause you to faint or to have heart problems.
Today's debate focuses on how much growth hormone we need as we age, since production is highest during childhood and the hormone-drenched adolescent years, then typically starts tapering off around age thirty, continuing to decline into old age and if we become obese. |

 And pomegranate's reputation as a love food wasn't exactly hurt by recent research in the Journal of Urology that suggested that pomegranate juice just might be a "natural viagra."
So now that I've got your attention, let's talk about heart disease.
Pomegranate juice may just turn out to be one of the great natural weapons against heart disease. A daily dose of this delicious juice may go a long way toward keeping you from becoming a statistic. Studies in Israel have shown that, taken daily, pomegranate juice prevented the thickening of arteries. |

| In fact, this gas—nitric oxide (NO)—was discovered to be the neurotransmitter in the nerve cells that control erections (this finding led to the development of viagra and its friends).
And that makes the declining functioning of NO over time a key cause of erectile dysfunction and other age-related and artery-related problems. The bottom line when it comes to nitric oxide and aging is this: Nitric oxide plays a fundamental role in keeping a body healthy, and the reverse is also true. |

| PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Cialis, Levitra and viagra have revolutionized the treatment of impotence for millions of men over the past decade.
However, some forms of erectile dysfunction, such as corporal fibrosis, remain very difficult to treat, and an artificial penis may be helpful in treating these disorders.
Corporal fibrosis occurs when the penis' spongy-tissue cells, which maintain an erection, don't get the oxygen they need to survive, usually because of a chronic reduction in blood flow. The spongy tissue is gradually replaced by inactive, fibrous scar tissue. |

| It's already known that anyone who uses nitrate drugs for heart pains (angina) can't use viagra, because the drug interaction can kill. viagra also causes vision to change, casting a blue tint over everything. Pilots aren't allowed to use it before they fly because they can't see the numbers on the instrument panel.
If you'd like a great, Viagra-free sex life—for the rest of your life—the first step is good food, good vitamins, regular exercise, and remembering that a little bit of tenderness goes a long way with your partner. |

 Pfizer has marketed a "value card" for viagra, offering a free seventh prescription, clearly targeted for men who don't have insurance coverage for the drug. The makers of Ambien have offered a week's worth of their pills for free.97 "The Lunesta 7-Night Challenge" made the rounds in newspapers and on television in 2007. The print ads exhorted: "Ask your doctor how to get 7 nights of Lunesta absolutely free!"98
Paxil and Zoloft in particular have been the recipients of heavy DTC rotations. Paxil's story is a particularly sordid, and successful, episode in the history of drug marketing. |

 Mike: So does that mean you think companies like Merck pharmaceutical are responsible in part for the viagra spam?
Levine: No, because the stuff they're selling is not viagra. It's all fake. The only large company I know of that has an incredible connection to spam is Kraft, with their Gevalia coffee -- overpriced Swedish gourmet coffee. |

 But the male potency drug viagra has changed the landscape regarding declining sex in older age, creating a sexual revolution for seniors. The rise of viagra has also shown that physiological issues need to be addressed to promote an active sex life for men later in life. Although the drug may improve a man's erection, it does not as easily improve a man's relationship with his partner. Psychology and physiology must be addressed concurrently. And there are many more options available besides viagra. |

 Kilham:You know, seven months after viagra came out on the market, the United States Food and Drug Administration reported 123 Viagra-related deaths in the United States. Now, I think that's a totally unacceptable thing. A person can die from an adverse drug reaction. That's not okay by me.
You take an herb like rhodiola rosea that's been used for over 2,000 years. To the best extent of our knowledge of the hundreds of millions of people who have used that herb, nobody has ever died from taking it at any dose.
Keep it safe. Keep it healthy and keep it inexpensive. |

| And in fact pharmaceutical companies, in searching for a female equivalent of viagra, are focused on developing a drug that increases blood flow to the female genitals, resulting in vaginal lubrication and relaxing vaginal muscles.
"A person who feels uncomfortable with his or her sexuality will unconsciously tense the muscles in the genitals, thighs, anus, and buttocks, preventing the free flow of blood into the area and thereby limiting the possibility for complete arousal. |

 You make sure that health insurance has to cover viagra even if it's being prescribed to sex offenders, which is exactly what's going on in this country. That's a good example of how insane our health insurance industry and health care coverage really is. We're using taxpayer dollars to pay for viagra for people who have been convicted of sex crimes.

| In addressing lifestyle issues rather than actual diseases, Prozac vastly expanded its market base and paved the way for a succession of lifestyle-enhancing medications— viagra, most notably; Lipitor and other cholesterol medications; a series of other psychiatric drugs—which have overwhelmingly driven Big Pharma's profits over the last decade.
It worked beyond anybody's expectations. Sales of Prozac hit $2 billion in 1998.4 In 2002, more than 11 percent of American women and 5 percent of American men were taking antidepressants, which amounts to about 25 million people. |
