ANABOLIC STEROIDS
Prolonged use of anabolic steroids severely damages the liver which is
responsible for metabolizing testosterone. Testosterone that is formed
in the testes can only be used by the body's receptors after it is metabolized
by the liver. Consequently as the liver disintegrates so does the libido.
It has been reported in FDA Drug Bulletin (October 1987) that in males,
some of the additional side effects of anabolic steroid use includes:
enlarged prostate, breast enlargement and testicular atrophy with subsequent
sterility or significantly decreased sperm count.
ASHWAGANDA
An East Indian sexual tonic herb long regarded as promoting fertility
and sexual potency. It is a primary strengthening tonic used in Ayurvedic
science. It is safe, non-irritating and will not over stimulate sexual
energy.
ECHINACEA
This herb has been found to protect healthy cells from viral and bacterial
attack by stimulating activity in the immune system in general and T-cells
- which attack pathogens and toxins - in particular.
EPIMEDIUM
The Chinese name is Yin Yang Huo. It is indicated for impotence, stimulating
sexual activity and sperm production. Should not be used for prolonged
periods of time.
GINKGO
Being a reliable peripheral vasodilator, Ginkgo has been shown to be an
excellent agent for treating arterial erectile dysfunction. It has a direct
effect on endothelial cells which enhance blood flow of both penile arteries
and veins without any change in systemic blood pressure. The first signs
of improved blood supply and regained potency can be seen after 6 to 8
weeks. Continue treatment up to 6 months.
SASPARILLA
Hormonal precursor which is used to increase energy, protect against harm
from radiation exposure, regulate hormones, and it also contains diuretic
properties.. Useful for frigidity, hives, impotence, infertility, nervous
system disorders, premenstrual syndrome, and disorders caused by blood
impurities.
SAW PALEMETO
Acts as a diuretic and urinary antiseptic. Stimulates the appetite. Inhibits
the production of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that contributes to enlargement
of the prostate. Good for poor appetite and prostate disorders. Also enhances
sexual functioning and desire.
STEROIDAL SAPONINS
Steroidal saponins are anabolic steroid precursors that the body can use
to manufacture for itself the desired growth hormones to build itself
naturally and healthy. These plant (steroid precursor) constituents are
not actively anabolic themselves, they are building blocks that the body
can use to build its own anabolic steroids. These plant steroid precursors
will not push the body beyond its normal limits.
Plants that provide natural anabolic steroidal precursors are Wild Yam,
Sasparilla, Licorice, Damiana, Yucca and Saw Palmetto. Saw Palmetto is
actually more of a sexual organ tonic so it is used more to support male
testosterone production. Ginseng also has the steroidal saponins, it is
quite epwensive, and the steroidal saponins in the less expensive Wild
Yam and Sasparilla have a closer chemical construction to the anabolic
steroids. each of these plants can be taken individually or in combination,
as teas or tinctures. Take 1 cup of tea or 15 - 25 drops of tincture in
the morning and evening.
SUMA
Good for supporting adrenal glands. Also combats anemia, fatigue and stress.
Acts as an immune system booster that may help to prevent cancer. Good
for AIDS, cancer, liver disease, high blood pressure, and weakened immune
system.
YOHIMBE
Yes, Yohimbe can serve as a sexual aid for men suffering with poor sexual
response and/or impotence. Yohimbe is a West African stimulating aphrodisiac,
whose actions have a direct effect on the sexual centers of the spinal
cord increasing tonicity, possibly stimulating male potency. It is proven
to cause penile erection giving relief of impaired sexual function, also
giving increased sexual appetite. Impotence or functional origin is directly
influenced by it.
Yohimbe is a mild toxic plant and should not be used unreservedly until
science can reveal more about it. No evidence shows it to be anabolic,
merely stimulating. It is frequently adulterated in commercial products,
with some other plant used in its place.
