			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Topically applied Vitaros ED cream by Apricus Biosciences </strong></p>
<p>A topically  applied erectile therapy cream is one step closer to reality. The commercial  launch of <em>Vitaros </em>by <em>Apricus Biosciences</em>, the world&rsquo;s first  topically applied prescription drug for impotence, is scheduled for November of  this year in Canada. The cream is also likely to reach European pharmacy  shelves by the end of next year.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/topicalvitaros.jpg" alt="vitaros drop for ED" width="500" height="146" border="1" /></p>
<p>With annual erectile dysfunction drug sales  at $4.9 billion globally and an aging population, translating into increasing  demand, any newcomer on the impotence market has the chance of making it big. Vitaros  in particular is a promising competitor, having two major innovations going for  it: its topical application and its uncommon active ingredient.</p>
<p><span id="more-1355"></span></p>
<p><strong>One  Drop of Vitaros will work in about 6 minutes!</strong></p>
<p>With a  single-use applicator a drop of Vitaros is placed on the tip of the penis. The  active ingredient, PDE1, also known as alprostadil, is then absorbed through  the skin through Vitaros&rsquo;s high absorption molecules. The effects are  measurable within six minutes. Because alprostadil works differently from the  PDE5-inhibitors in most common impotence pills it could be a viable alternative  for those who have tried other therapies with limited success. The topical  application is also associated with fewer side-effects. Alprostadil is  currently available as <a href="http://www.edguider.com/forum/general-discussion/570-caverject-alprostadil.html">penile  injections (Caverject)</a> and urethral suppositories, but having the chemical  absorbed through the skin is no doubt more pleasant. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.edguider.com/mens_health/vitaros_ed_cream_by_apricus_bio_works_within_5_minutes_128.html">EDGuider News: Vitaros ED Cream by Apricus  Bio Works Within 5 Minutes</a></p>
<p>In its current  formula, Vitaros has one major setback: it must be stored in a refrigerator. That  makes sex less spontaneous and travel more difficult. Apricus is aware of this  and is currently working on developing a new formula that can be stored in room  temperature. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/apricusbio.jpg" alt="Apricus Bios logo" width="360" height="134" border="1" /></p>
<p><strong>How much will Vitaros Cost?</strong></p>
<p>As for the price,  Vitaros is expected to enter the market at between $10 and $12 per dose,  similar to competitors. </p>
<p>Whether Vitaros  will be a major success, though, remains to be seen. Expert opinions diverge: &ldquo;I  think it can certainly enter the market as a fourth or fifth drug and grow  sales significantly,&rdquo; said Robert Wasserman, a Dawson James Securities stock  analyst. Dr. Irwin Goldstein, a San Diego urologist who helped develop Viagra,  on the other hand believes that Vitaros will enter the market as a niche treatment.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.edguider.com/forum/ed-treatments-works/771-vitaros.html">EDGuider Forum: Talk about Vitaros with others</a></p>
<p>Regardless of  the experts, there is no denying that Apricus takes its entry onto the sexual  dysfunctions market seriously. The company is already in phase three clinical  testing of a new drug called <em>Femprox</em> to treat sexual arousal disorder in women.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Viagra  &amp; Levitra Innovate to compete with Generics</strong>.</p>
<p>Competition has long been fierce between the three leading erectile dysfunction pills, Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, but with the availability and affordability of generics, and the steadily approaching expiration of patents, the pressure is reaching new heights.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/viagravskamagra.jpg" width="400" height="167" alt="viagra chewable" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.edguider.com/viagra/brand_new_chewable_version_of_viagra_jet_gum_125.html">EDGuider News: Brand new chewable version of Viagra Jet GUM?</a></p>
<p>The American medical giant Pfizer, patent-holder for Viagra for yet another year, has responded to the pressure by coming out with a new soft and chewable erectile dysfunction pill called Viagra Jet. It was released in Mexico earlier this year, in response to surveys indicating that a large portion of Mexican men find the regular Viagra hard to swallow. There is currently only one chewable ED  medication that comes from India, called &quot;Chewable Kamagra&quot;. However  it is not approved for sale in the US.</p>
<p><span id="more-1337"></span></p>
<p><strong>Bayer comes up with Melt in your mouth Levitra</strong></p>
<p>Bayer, in turn, started selling a new melt-in-your-mouth (<a href="http://www.edguider.com/levitra/levitra_orodispersible_tablets_effective_easy_discreet_&amp;_fast_126.html">Levitra Orodispersible</a>) version of their popular erectile dysfunction medicine, Levitra, in nine European countries. More than just an aid for men who have trouble swallowing tablets, it was aimed towards those who want to be discreet about their erectile difficulties. It even comes in a small black box. &quot;It&#8217;s pocket-friendly, discreet and gives the product a playful edge over its competitors,&quot; said Thomas Proske, brand manager for Levitra. In other words, it gives Levitra a sleek and sexy brand image.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/levitrameltinmouth.jpg" width="400" height="167" alt="Levitra Orodispersible" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.edguider.com/levitra/from_the_makers_of_levitra_staxyn_is_now_approved.html">EDGuider  News: Bayer also develops Staxyn  which  contains 10mg of Vardenafil HCI</a></p>
<p><strong>Cialis has enough success with their 36 hour weekend pill</strong></p>
<p>And brand image is important in this new world of erectile aids. Cialis was quite possibly first to realise this. Their famous &quot;weekender&quot; pill, for example, has been sold since 2009 and was designed and marketed as a more potent and long-lasting pill for couples sharing a romantic or sexy weekend together. It did so well for the Cialis brand that the company is steadily increasing its market share, despite not even trying to keep up with the innovations of Pfizer and Bayer. </p>
<p>With the market recently passing $5 billion annually, after a growth of nearly 7% last year, there is much to be gained for these companies by increasing their market share. There is, of course, also the motivation to grow the market. The erectile dysfunction market is far from living up to its full potential. In the UK alone 90% of the men who suffer from some form of erectile dysfunction are currently going untreated.</p>
<p>&quot;<em>A newer product, less expensive, and a new form of taking it &#8211; all that might convince more people to try it,</em>&quot; said Dr. Joseph P. Alukal, director of reproductive health at <a href="http://school.med.nyu.edu/">New York University School of Medicine</a>. While he did not want to refer to the new variations of well-known drugs as &#8216;gimmicks&#8217;, he did note that brand image is obviously going to be important in increasing both the market and the individual market shares.</p>
<p> Regardless of how many new variations of popular drugs these pharmaceutical giants put out, however, price is going to be an important factor. Generics are still significantly cheaper than brand drugs and some of them offer innovative solutions as well, such as soft tablets and liquid gels. Rumour has it that Bayer will be coping by putting out new variations on Levitra under a different, more competitively priced, brand name in the US. Whether the original little blue pill will come down in price after its patents expire in 2012 remains to be seen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Let’s take a look  into why commercials for ED meds are uncomfortable</strong></p>
<p>Watching your favorite TV shows while your family is present  can be the most relaxing part of your day.   Enduring a commercial or two is not too bad, if it means you will get  back to what you were watching within a few minutes. However, commercials that  advertise erectile dysfunction medications Levitra, Cialis and Viagra are  starting to cause a problem with parents <a href="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/2009/05/21/no-more-impotence-or-ed-ads-during-peak-hours/">and  even republicans</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/tvfamily.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" border="1" /></p>
<p>It is hard to explain what erectile dysfunction is to you  children, and they should not be exposed to these commercials in the first  place. This is how the “<em>Parents Television Council</em>”  is reacting to these ads and they are pushing for some big changes.  The PTC (<em>Parents Television Council</em>)  is a media advocacy group that was made in order to prevent children for being  exposed to commercials that involve violence, sex, foul language and in this  case, erectile dysfunction ads.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-1307"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.edguider.com/cialis/parents_television_council_will_regulate_cialis_and_viagra_commercials_120.html">EDGuider  News: PTC Will work with Pharmaceutical Manufacturers to limit Commercials for  ED</a></p>
<p>Creating a list where commercials for ED are displayed will  be hard for the manufactures to control but they will have to abide to the PTC’s  demands in order to prevent these commercials from reaching children. So far  both parties have agreed on a schedule that will be provided to the PTC. This itinerary  will show specific times and networks the commercials will be aired on, this  way the PTC will have more control on when they will be aired.</p>
<p>We are going to use this blog post to see 3 different  commercials that have been aired by the advertising companies of pharmaceutical  manufactures, let’s see why they can cause some tension for parents.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3fgIEB795g">Levitra  Commercial</a>:</p>
<p>Levitra commercials seem to more direct, explaining how Levitra  is proven to help ED. They discuss what causes impotence and what side effects  their medication can cause. These commercials seem to be the most explicit, they  directly talk about ED. Ads run for Viagra and Cialis are much more subtle.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S3fgIEB795g?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S3fgIEB795g?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDLTtUAdm10">Cialis  Commercial:</a></p>
<p>Cialis makes it clear that the effects of their product can  last up to 36 hours; many men confuse this with a 36 hour erection, which is  not the case. Although a little more discreet than the Levitra commercial, they  still mention ED and sexual activity, which can raise questions if kids are  watching.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cDLTtUAdm10?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cDLTtUAdm10?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk9JwV8sZTs">Viagra  Commercial</a>:</p>
<p>Now this commercial does not even mention the word ED, Impotence  or anything sexual. Viagra has been becoming much more discreet with their commercials.  At the end of this video they only display the blue Viagra pill, which most men  are familiar with. Since it does not have any explicit language or content, we  have found it to be the best as far as discretion goes.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xk9JwV8sZTs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xk9JwV8sZTs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p>All these videos have been aired on broadcast television and  cable TV. The PTC and pharmaceutical manufacturers have worked on an agreement  to continue airing these ads on broadcast television, with prior notice  provided to the PTC by a schedule. However cable TV will continue to air  without a schedule. THE PTC’s next step will be cable, for now they have gone  one step in the right direction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dietary Supplement Recalls  on The Rise</strong></p>
<p>Ever since Viagra was released back in 1998, dietary  supplement manufacturers tried to mimic the effects, but the all-natural way. Medications  that treat erectile dysfunction like Cialis, Levitra and the little blue pill,  are prescription medications that can cause several side effects and interact  with medications men are already taking. This is why it is very important men  know what these meds contain and understand what the risks are.  But what if men buy a natural supplement that  they think contain only natural herbs to help sexual performance without knowing  it contains a prescription chemical? </p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/recalls.jpg" width="300" height="200" alt="recalls sign for ED supplements" /></p>
<p>The main ingredients in ED medications are Tadalafil, Vardenafil  and Sildenafil, which are all PDE5 inhibitors. Over the past year, all 3 of  these compounds have been found in so called “<em>dietary supplements” that</em> are supposed to be 100% natural.  All the dietary supplements that were issued  recalls did not have any markings on their labels explaining they contained a  prescription chemical that is used to treat Impotence; if it did they would not  be able to categorize it as a dietary supplement.</p>
<p><span id="more-1304"></span></p>
<p>The FDA, Health Canada and even Japanese health officials  have recalled dozens of these products. The EDGuider news team has written countless  articles on recalls issued by health officials, everything from coffee that  boosts sex drive to pills that promise you hard erections. All the products  that were recalled either contained Sildenafil, Tadalafil, Vardenafil or an analogue  of them, some known as Acetildenafil, Sulfoaildenafil and Hydroxythiohomosildenafil. </p>
<p><strong>Read about some of  these recalls in the EDGuider News Section:</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.edguider.com/herbal/recall_issued_on_vialipro_contains_chemical_similar_to_sildenafil.html">Sulfoaildenafil an analogue of Sildenafil Found in  Vialipro</a>: </strong>Another recall has been issued on a  product that was advertised as a dietary supplement. The company <em>Good Health Inc</em> is doing a  voluntary recall of the sexual performance supplement Vialipro</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.edguider.com/herbal/another_recall_in_canada_sexxx_drive_male_enhancement.html">The Herbal Supplement Sexxx Drive Male Enhancement Recalled</a></strong>:  This will be the second recall Canada sends out over the past 3 weeks on a male  enhancement product that was labeled as an herbal supplement, but turned out to  contain an analogue of Sildenafil, Viagra’s active ingredient</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.edguider.com/herbal/recall_on_magic_power_coffee_said_to_contain_viagra.html">Magic Power Coffee Contains Silenafil Recall Issued</a>: </strong>The FDA has issued a recall and is warning men who have  purchased a coffee labeled as a dietary supplement named “<em>Magic Power Coffee</em>”. Men are urged  to stay away and discontinue drinking it right away</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.edguider.com/herbal/prolatis_which_was_available_at_gnc_has_been_recalled.html">Prolatis  which was available at GNC has been recalled</a></strong>: This time the  product Prolatis has been put on the recall list. Last week Prolatis issued a  voluntary nationwide recall of their brand name product Prolatis. This comes  just after they received a notice from the FDA saying they found  sulfoaildenafil in the dietary supplement</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/images/stories/herbal/prolatisgnc.jpg" width="400" height="154" alt="prolatis at GNC" /></p>
<p><strong>How do I know if a  dietary supplement I have or want to buy has a PDE5 inhibitor in it?</strong></p>
<p>Do your research before you buy! If you already have a  dietary supplement and are not sure if it contains a PDE5, you can check the FDA  website for recall notices, or do a simple online search for the product name along  with the word “<em>recall</em>” next to it.  When recalls such as these are issued, health related websites will pick up on  it and write informative articles about the recall with its lot numbers.</p>
<p>Some of these products were even sold in well-known  nutrition stores such as GNC. Prolatis for example, was a product listed as a  dietary supplement and was for sale on the shelves of GNC. If you have  purchased a product such as Prolatis or any other product that has been  recalled from a health nutrition store, it is recommend you stop using the  product and return it to the retailer. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Complete List of every known treatment option  for Erectile Dysfunction</strong></p>
<p>You&rsquo;ve probably been  searching the internet looking for all the available treatment options known to  man for treating erectile dysfunction, to see if there is one that might suit  you. Let us start by saying, there are many available options. For some men, a  simple Viagra pill will do the trick, but for others, injection therapy might  be the only option. Those are just two of many we are going to list.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/conciselist.jpg" width="300" height="121" alt="list" /></p>
<p>This post is based on  our very popular <a href="http://www.edguider.com/forum/">EDGuider Forum</a> thread called &ldquo;<em>Concise List with  Scientific Data on Every Currently Available Treatment</em>&rdquo;. It started on  April 28th 2009 and was put together by our forum members who suffer  from various types of erectile dysfunction. They decided to put their heads  together, compile a list and share success stories to confirm if the  treatment option worked:</p>
<p><span id="more-1275"></span></p>
<p><strong>From the Forum:</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;<em>Every one of us on this forum wants to know what actually works to help  ED, but unfortunately, ED information on the internet is often untrustworthy. So,  it will be a lot of fun to put our heads together to make one concise list of  absolutely every currently available  method of improving erectile function that has scientific data proving it can help with ED (supported by  studies done on humans or animals).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Obesity and Erectile Dysfunction</strong></p>
<p>Obesity is one of the faster growing epidemic society is  facing today. And everyday we learn something bad about obesity, and yet it is  growing at an alarming rate. Well one thing more to chalk up to obesity,  erectile dysfunction. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/obesenoerection.jpg" alt="obese and no erection" width="300" height="178" border="1" /></p>
<p>Not only is ED more common in obese men than men in good  shape, their overall sexual health is at risk. Researchers at the Institut  National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale, have found other startling  issues in the obese population. More needs to be researched on this topic to  know more, but the preliminary studies are eye opening. </p>
<p>Well over 12,000 men and women were studied by the French, ranging from normal weight to obese weight, ages 18 to 69, all living in France. </p>
<p><span id="more-1234"></span></p>
<p><strong>Here are some of the  higher points that professors have documented:</strong></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li>Body       Mass Index (BMI) had no bearing on sexual function in women</li>
<li>Sexually       transmitted diseases were about the same between normal weight women and       obese women</li>
<li>Obese       women were much less likely to seek out advice about contraceptive methods       than normal weight women</li>
<li>70% of       obese women were less likely to use a contraceptive and 8 times less       likely to use other means of less effective methods like pulling out.</li>
<li>Even       though obese women were 30% less likely to have sexual intercourse, they       were 4 times higher at unplanned pregnancies than normal weight women.</li>
<li>Meeting       a partner on-line was 5 times greater for obese women than normal weight       women, and that the partner they met would also be obese.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/2010/05/06/exercise-and-staying-active-reduces-chances-of-getting-ed/">ARTICLE:&nbsp; Exercise Will Improve Erections in Overweight  Men</a></p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/exercisenoed.jpg" alt="man exersising with no ed" width="300" height="199" border="1" /></p>
<p><strong>The more  prevalent outcome for the obese men:</strong></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li>The       under the age of 30 obese men were more likely in the past five years to       have contracted an STD (sexually transmitted disease)</li>
<li>Age 30       to 49 of the obese men in most cases did not use a condom</li>
<li>Sexual       partners do not come easy for obese men as the were 70% less likely to       have one</li>
<li>And       obese men were two and a half times more likely to struggle with erectile       dysfunction.</li>
<li>Obese men were more likely to use ED medications, most common ones are  <a href="http://www.edguider.com/buy_cialis.html">Cialis</a> then <a href="http://www.edguider.com/buy_viagra.html">Viagra</a> </li>
</ol>
<p>Researchers included in their conclusion that it would seem  the obesity problem is a snowball effect.</p>
<p><strong>Here is a great article from Health.com</strong>, it has an instructional video, we  embedded the video on  what overweight men can start doing right away to reverse their erectile  dysfunction:</p>
<p><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-0UENquMNXE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-0UENquMNXE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p><a href="http://www.health.com/health/condition-video/0,,20193675,00.html">ARTICLE:  How Overweight Men Can Reverse Erectile Dysfunction</a></p>
<p>They need to understand the relationships between obese people  and their sexual relationships, and attitudes towards those relationships. This  will further help us understand the health risk associated with obesity, and  maybe a tool towards educating the population about obesity. This same  population also needs to learn that talking to a health care provider about  your sexual inadequacies is a good thing. This may take a generation or two,  and doctors also need to be ready for this swing towards opening up.</p>
<p><strong>Obese and younger men tend to watch more online porn:</strong></p>
<p>This subject is still very taboo, but many men have been  known to be addicted to online porn, mostly younger and obese men. The fear of  rejection and insecurity can force many obese men down the road of online porn. Men  who are obese and addicted to online porn, must consider on taking two major  steps in eliminating their erectile dysfunction, exercise and breaking the habit  of online porn. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Apple Approves App That Fixes Erectile  Dysfunction.</strong></p>
<p>A new app for the  iphone has been rumored to fix erectile dysfunction, but does it really work?  Various websites have posted about it being a joke or prank. There are hundreds  of apps on the market that claim to help you loose weight, burn fat, grow back  your hair and even let you drink an ice cold beer, some for under 3 bucks.  Let&rsquo;s get realistic here, most of then are just for fun, so what&rsquo;s up, literally,  with this new Erectile Dysfunction app?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sexdrive-300x78.jpg" alt="sex drive app iphone" width="300" height="78" border="1" /></p>
<p>The eye opener here is  that apple approved the app and listed it in the app store for $2.99. That&rsquo;s a  bargain, no more paying hundreds of dollars for Impotence medications or no  more need for <a href="http://www.edguider.com/buy_viagra.html">Viagra</a> or the <a href="http://www.edguider.com/buy_cialis.html">36 hour Cialis</a> when those long weekends are right  around the corner. Can this actually be true or even come close to helping with  Erectile Dysfunction?</p>
<p><span id="more-1218"></span></p>
<p><strong>How This App Works and what it does?</strong></p>
<p>The App is called  &ldquo;<em>Fire Up Your Sex Life</em>&rdquo; and it claims to work by just listing to audio waves!  According to the apps instructions, men have to listen to an audio track for  six minutes daily and after about a month your libido or sexual ability will be  enhanced by over 80%. It claims to be as effective as Viagra! But before you  going running to the app store, keep in mind you have to be 18 or older to buy  it.</p>
<p>Here is a quote from  the apps instructions:</p>
<p>&ldquo;<em>If you want to enhance your man power, please choose the wave audio and  the play time, and then click the left button</em>&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>How does this app  look?</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/FireupYourSexDrive-300x144.jpg" alt="fire up your sex drive app" width="300" height="144" border="1" /></p>
<p><strong>Does It Work?</strong><br />
  According to a report  by Cnet over 500 men have already downloaded and tried &ldquo;<em>Fire up Your Sex Drive</em>&rdquo; and out of these five hundred men over 70  percent claim that it is very effective. Only time will tell if more men have  success with the app or find it just to be another prank app. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Can Red Wine Help  Erectile Dysfunction?</strong></p>
<p>Researchers at <a href="http://www.osaka-u.ac.jp/en">Osaka   University</a> have isolated  Resveratol (<em>a polyphenol found in red wine</em>) to determine whether it could be a  treatment for erectile dysfunction. </p>
<p>At the moment, the test subjects are rats. These research  rats have been induced with diabetes, which is a major cause of erectile  dysfunction. These diabetic rats were then fed a powdered form of Resveratol  for a four week period.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/redwine.jpg" alt="red wine and couple hugging" width="290" height="174" border="1" /></p>
<p>After the four week period, the rats were then stimulated to  achieve erections, without the Resveratol treatment rats lost over 95% of their  ability to achieve an erection with the diabetes. The ones that did take the  Resveratol regained 80% of the blood flow back to there erogenous zones. The  Resveratol helped the rats to produce more Nitrogen Monoxide which helps widen the  blood vessels in the penis allowing more blood flow.</p>
<p><span id="more-1200"></span></p>
<p><strong>Testing the treatment on Men</strong><br />
The next step would be to start testing the treatment on humans. The Osaka researchers in Japan already admitted they knew the treatment was a bust on humans that simply drank the red wine with Resveratol, to get the proper quantity in the system by drinking red wine inhibited the erection factor, due to the alcohol intake, in men whether they had diabetes or not. And who said researchers had no sense of humor? They added women trying to keep up simply went to sleep. </p>
<p>Don&rsquo;t put away the <a href="http://www.edguider.com/buy_viagra.html">Viagra</a> just yet however, these researchers  are no where close to clinical stages yet, but there is hope on the horizon. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Older Men: More Sex =  Less Erectile Dysfunction</strong></p>
<p>The penis is like any other muscle in your body, if you  don&rsquo;t use it, you loose it. This goes for older men as well. If you do not  exercise, you will loose muscle tone. The more you exercise, the better the  definition is the muscle being exercised. To make muscle stronger, exercising  it makes more blood flow to that muscle. </p>

<p>Listen to this; the major factor in ED (<em>erectile  dysfunction</em>) is lack of blood flow to the penis. Most men do not know that this is the major function of <a href="http://www.edguider.com/buy_viagra.html">Viagra</a> or <a href="http://www.edguider.com/buy_cialis.html">Cialis</a>, helps blood flow to the penis. Like a muscle, exercise it and  you will add blood flow.</p>
<p><strong>Finnish researchers studied almost 1000 men</strong> for five years.  The age of these men at the beginning of the study was 55 to 75. The research  unveiled that the men who were having regular sex at the beginning of the study  were much less likely to develop ED at the end of the study.&nbsp; These researchers are encouraging men to be  sexually active into their golden years.</p>
<p><span id="more-1175"></span></p>
<p>In Finland,  the University of   Tampere&rsquo;s Dr.   Koskimaki and colleagues reported these findings in the American Journal of  Medicine. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The report said that men in this age group that had sex less  than once a week had two times the risk of getting ED as the men who had sex at  least once a week. And compared to the men who were having sex 3 or more times  a week, the ones having sex less than once a week were 4 times more likely then  the more than 3 times a week group.</p>
<p>Other factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction as  well. <a href="http://www.edguider.com/edblog/2010/04/09/men-who-are-loved-show-less-risk-of-heart-disease-and-stroke/">Heart disease</a>, age, medications, depression, and diabetes are among those  factors. But even with those considerations the researchers report that sexual  activity was still a major factor. </p>
<p>Want to keep getting up later in life seniors? Just like  exercise, sexual activity will help keep it harder. Not only that, but other  research shows that sexual activity also helps the heart. Imagine, helping the  heart and your erections all in one! </p>
<p>Not only that, what would it do for you psychologically? All  you here about in commercials these days is the need for Viagra when you get  older. How would you like to be the senior in the park with your friends  bragging about how you were doing it with your partner last night? Do you think  that would be good for your morale? The answer is clear&hellip;</p>

<p>Believe it or not, rats and humans share similarities which  mimic many relevant features of human erectile dysfunction. So researchers at  Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Case Western Reserve   University have  identified molecular changes in rats. These molecular changes accompany the  onset of diabetes induced erectile dysfunction, which could gain insight and  help indentify erectile dysfunction risk leading to potentially new drug  discoveries into erectile dysfunction.</p>

<p>One of the most common problems induced in men with diabetes  is erectile dysfunction. It is estimated that over 70% of men with diabetes  suffer some for of erectile dysfunction, and in many cases actually develop  more drug resistant forms of erectile dysfunction. </p>
<p><span id="more-1167"></span></p>
<p>The corpora, which are the tissues that expand along the  length of the penis by filling with blood during an erection, were studied in  rats with diabetes. A proteomics approach to examine the relative abundance of  proteins was used by Mark Chance and colleagues at two different stages of progression  of the onset of diabetes. These two different stages were one week after the  onset, and then at two months. They identified 57 different proteins in the  tissues of the penis that had either decreased or increased during these  controlled tests by comparing them to other age matched healthy rats.</p>
<p><strong>Mechanics of erectile dysfunction</strong><br />
These proteins actually revealed some of the mechanics of erectile dysfunction. Collagen proteins provide the strength and hardness in an erection were not surprisingly down-regulated in the diabetes rats. The proteins that transport sex hormones were also down. Up regulated proteins were also revealed. The ones related to fat metabolism, which are responsible for the hardening and narrowing of blood vessels were among the up related ones as well as proteins involved in the death of cells (<em>apoptosis</em>).</p>
<p>The researches believe these insights into the proteins  involved with erectile dysfunction could very well lead to the discovery of the  medicines that may help diabetic men maintain a better quality of life with their  partners. <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/04/100406172650.htm">Ream more about these study at ScienceDaily.com</a></p></p>
