new alternative Medicine

There’s a rumor going round the town that pain is a bad thing and should be eliminated at all costs. Big Boss Pharma has been lining up all its big guns and, no matter what level of pain you may be experiencing, there’s a pill with your name on it, assuming you get a prescription, of course. You may therefore look at the headline here and be a little surprised. How on Earth can anyone think pain is a good thing? Well, let’s go back to basics. Darwin, that inconvenient man who thinks we all evolved rather than were created, argued only the best-adapted species survived. When it comes to survival, the animal needs to know when it’s under attack. If it’s injured, it decides whether to fight or flee. So pain is a vital signal to the brain. It warns when the body is injured. We benefitted from that when we were less well-developed. Today, it’s still useful to know if we have accidentally injured ourselves or just picked up something too hot to hold.

The modern response is to seek medical assistance and then we complain when the pain message continues. So let’s move medical science a few years into the future. Rather in the same way we can switch off the burglar alarm when we know someone has broken into our home, a researcher develops a magic pill to switch off pain. It changes the brain’s chemistry so we are no longer aware of any pain. Would you take it? Before you rush to an answer, the scientist confirms this is an all or nothing pill. Either you feel pain or you do not. We will have to go into real science fiction to arrive at a treatment that only switches off the pain messages from the injured part of the body. In theory, it should be possible to neutralize the pain by interrupting the nervous system at key junctions, e.g. where an arm or leg joins the body. Unfortunately, this also risks paralyzing the arm or leg.

Anyway, back to the question. Would you take a pill to switch off pain? It would mean you would not know if you were damaging any other part of your body. Suppose you drink something that’s burning your tongue, or slip and make your existing injury worse. You would not know to stop drinking or seek further medical treatment. Completely turning off pain is dangerous unless you lie perfectly still and take no physical risks. Even then, you would not know if you were getting the first pain symptoms of a heart attack or warning indications of any other disease. The present situation is safer because a drug like Ultram simply reduces the intensity of the current pain. You can still feel if any other part of your body is injured or you are affected by some other disease or disorder. Continue reading →

Athletes sometimes get confused by the word steroid. Not all steroids are performance enhancers, but this does not mean they have no effect on the body or performance. In fact, many athletes do use steroids that are not anabolic – that don’t help you get bigger, stronger, or faster.

Steroids are organic chemical compounds, natural or synthetic, that are fat soluble. They have specific jobs to do in the human body. They have a 17-carbon 4-ring system.

So what does any of that mean? It means that there are a lot of types of steroids. Corticosteroids, anabolic steroids, glycosides – even sex hormones like testosterone are steroids.

Anabolic versus Corticosteroid

The steroids talked about on the news and in doping scandals are anabolic steroids – manmade hormones that are meant to function similarly to testosterone, promoting the growth of muscles and increasing athletic performance. It is important to note that anabolic steroids themselves are not bad, like any medicine, it is just how you use them that matters. They are very important for treating various conditions. Anabolic steroid abuse may pose serious threats to your health:

• Liver function
• Damaged or modified reproductive system
• Heart and circulation damage
• “Roid rage”, a serious psychological effect
• And more Continue reading →

Over the years, doctors and surgeons struggled to find the one magic substance that can be taken orally or rubbed on to the penis without finding anything in the natural world that could improve on the placebo effect. For the record, even in modern clinical trials, the chemically inert placebos are reported effective by an average one-third of participants. The power of the mind to heal the body remains strong. There were even surgeons who found men desperate enough to go through experimental implant operations where various stiffening substances and objects were installed. Needless to say, none of these early attempts produced reliable results.

This left it to the pure scientists to have their shot. Their best effort came through the vacuum tube. The reasoning is absolutely correct. An erection is formed naturally when the penile artery dilates and the heart pumps an excessive amount of blood into the penis. So if the action of the heart is not strong enough to push blood through an artery that refuses to dilate fully, a vacuum must be used to draw the blood through. Remarkably, even though the device itself looks like a joke with its plunger to extract the air, it really does work. A few strokes of the plunger reduces the air pressure and blood comes into the penis. To counteract the withdrawal of the penis from the device simply deflating the erection, a band is placed around the penis to keep the excess of blood inside. It may not produce the hardest of erections, but with a little assistance, it’s usually possible to penetrate.
