Fight Cancer and Boost Your Sex Life with Selenium
2008-04-08 13:02:00 Selenium is an important trace mineral that works stronger along with Vitamin E, as antioxidants that protect cells from damage by substances called free radicals. It is also incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, which are important antioxidant enzymes that also protect cells from free radicals. Free radicals are the ones that cause cancer. It keeps the heart healthy, slows down aging, and prevents the hardening of tissues through oxidation, helps regulate the thyroid and is necessary for proper immune system function. This trace mineral is essential to many body functions and can be found in every body cell, but especially in the kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, and testes. In males, similar to zinc, approximately half of the body's selenium concentrates in the testicles and parts of the seminal ducts around the prostate gland.Possible benefits that can be derived from healthy amounts of selenium in the body include:Protection against cataracts and muscular degenerat...

Pito pito
2008-01-29 09:29:00 A Tagalog word which literally means “seven-seven”. “Pito pito is most commonly used to refer to the blend of seven leaves of seven traditional herbal medicinal plants, usually prepared as a decoction or a poultice and used in a wide variety of folkloric applications: headaches, fever, cough, colds, migraine, asthma, abdominal pains, diarrhea, etc. The ingredients vary according to availability and intended use. Seven (pito) is believed to be numerologically essential to the efficacy of the eventual formulation.” [stuartexchange.org]Traditionally, seven is believed to be a lucky number so if you put together seven medicinal herbs together, then it will become a very potent and effective “cure-all” concoction. Traditionally, it was used as treatment of mild to moderate symptoms of sickness. Once it gets into an extreme and life threatening situation, a quack doctor, or a traditional medicine man, is usually summoned to address it.From my experience, Pinoys usually concoc...
Deer Antlers as aphrodisiac
2008-01-23 09:02:00 Yes, its real deer antlers and they’re from live deer. You might think that they were hunted down to extinction for this purpose, but that’s a “no”. (It might be true for their pelt but not for their antlers.) It might be true before, perhaps, but today, according to the sources I’ve read, they take it from the deer without killing them since it’s only the tip of their antlers that they’re after.They call this tip as “deer antler velvet”, or just “deer velvet”. Deer velvet is named after the soft velvet-like covering of deer antlers while they are growing and still in a cartilaginous state, before they harden into bone. “Deer antlers”, by the way, are organs of bone which regenerate each year from the heads of male deer. They grow with remarkable swiftness and every year, after the roar and mating season, the antlers are cast to begin the cycle again in the spring. After removal, antlers are frozen and transported under sanitary conditions. The product is t... More About: Aphrodisiac

As they are used throughout Europe, nettles make a valuable tonic after the long winter months because they provide a potent natural source of a number of vitamins and...
Chinese Herbal Aphrodisiacs
2007-12-31 14:22:00 In traditional Chinese medicine, one’s sexual health is connected with one’s kidneys. Yes, when you have kidneys that have weak chi circulation, then you’re definitely having sexual problems. Due to this, Chinese herbal medicines meant to cure your sexual dysfunction always target your kidney channels to improve its circulation. Your kidney chi and essence direct your sexual development and keep your libido healthy; improving the health of your kidneys often means increasing the health of your libido. Most Chinese herbal aphrodisiacs enhance sex drive and performance because they build kidney yin, kidney yang, and kidney Essence. More than that, they enhance immunity, energy, and stamina, giving them a profound impact on your overall health and longevity.In China, vitality and sexual desire comes hand in hand.

Cobra an aphrodisiac
2007-12-30 08:37:00 It is quite uncertain how and why it started; but it hasn’t gone unnoticed for many psychologists that most aphrodisiacs, especially from the east, are derived mostly from creatures that are either dangerous, or are so rare that it is difficult to come by. Because of these beliefs of power being drawn from the bellies of rare poisonous and fierce animals, it often lead to disastrous consequences such as lives sacrificed for obtaining such precious (and most often highly priced) elixirs, and the demise of a species hunted down to extinction. One such animal is the cobra. The more poisonous the species is, the more potent its aphrodisiac qualities. (Of course, it follows that the more powerful the effect is the more expensive, right?)Drinking these serpents’ blood is the usual method to derive its aphrodisiac power. It is done by mixing the cobra’s blood with a strong alcoholic beverage. Most say, the alcohol serves as a neutralizer to kill the taste of the snake’s blood. Othe... More About: Cobra , Aphrodisiac
Orgasm
2007-12-24 08:29:00 An orgasm (sexual climax) is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the human sexual response cycle, and may be experienced by both males and females. Orgasm is characterized by intense physical pleasure, controlled by the involuntary, or autonomic, nervous system. It is accompanied by quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround the primary sexual organs and the anus. Orgasms are often associated with other involuntary actions, including muscular spasms in other areas of the body, a general euphoric sensation, and, less frequently, vocalizations.--WikipediaI believe everybody has encountered this word quite frequently these days; but it’s also true that not all are well-informed and/or have experienced it. Orgasm is that very pleasurable feeling one experiences through sexual stimulation be it masturbation or through coitus.According to common belief, women take more time to reach orgasm compared to men but recent scientific research showed that ...

Its Spanish and Quechua names include maca-maca, maino, ayak chichira, and ayak willku.The growth habit, size, and proportions of the maca are roughly similar to those of the radish and the turnip, to which it is related. The stem is short and lies along the ground, with only the tips curling up.
