Viagra Alternatives 

Try these Viagra alternatives

Viagra Alternatives - Padma-Nathan calls erectile dysfunction, or impotence, "the most untreated medical condition" in the world. He estimates that over half of men over the age of 40 suffer from the complaint, with just 5% seeking treatment. 

Until recently, most treatments involved uncomfortable penile injections, implants, urethral suppositories or vacuum-like devices. Now, there is an oral medication, Viagra that can help cause an erection in 6 out of 10 people. Two other oral medications are being studied and may be approved by the FDA early next year.

Viagra has proven to be a very popular drug, with over 250,000 prescriptions filled every week. Thanks to Viagra, many men are able to engage in sexual intercourse for the first time in many years. 

Like any drug, Viagra has a number of side effects, such as dizziness, headaches, temporary blindness, blackouts and potential exacerbation of hidden diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Since it is so new, many other side effects are going to be discovered as more and more men use it.

The FDA has estimated that over 200 deaths have been attributed to the use of Viagra. Both the drug manufacturer and the FDA claim that the benefits still outweigh the risks.

There are less risky and more natural methods of restoring both libido (which Viagra does not affect) and erections. There are a number of natural herbs that have been known for centuries to improve one's ability to engage in sexual intercourse without all of the side effects of prescription drugs.

It is particularly encouraging that these natural substances actually restore your function and ability, and not just provide a temporary (and short-lived) improvement like Viagra.

Natural substances often lead to longer, stronger erections and better control of ejaculation. In addition, many users of the natural aphrodisiac herbs report much greater enjoyment of the sexual act with more pleasant climax and orgasm.

While we do not recommend any particular herbs or formulas here, we do recommend that if you are interested in going the natural route, set up an appointment with an alternative care physician to discuss such treatment.  

Clearly, the natural way is better - no side effects and better results.
