Viagra causes cancer.

According to Pfizer, the drug company that produces Viagra, it can cause cancer. Viagra increases and disturbs blood flow to the brain, glands, eyes, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys and prostate gland.

Other side effects:

Headaches, urinary tract infections, weakened immune system, causes hypertension, peptic ulcers, frequent urination, nerve problems, headaches, multiple myeloma, mood swings and much more.

Viagra is a synthetic dangerous type of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide (Nitrous) is basically laughing gas, and causes psychotic illusions. It also used in explosives and fertilizers. It decreases oxygen, burns and irritates skin, and explodes cells.

Viagra (sildenafil), approved by the FDA in 1998, has been the most popular medicine for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Viagra works very well in dilating blood vessels in the genital region, leading to an erection or increased blood flow to the vaginal tissues. However, it does little to directly increase libido or sexual arousal. The effect of Viagra is often noticed within an hour after taking a pill of 50 or 100 mg. The ease of erection may last up to 12 hours. Other side effects of Viagra include nasal congestion or runny nose, malaise, nausea, changes in blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, visual disturbances including rare cases of blindness, and chest pain. Viagra may cause stickiness of blood platelets. There have been concerns about dangerously low blood pressure when Viagra is combined with nitrates, the authors explain, yet many men with heart disease are currently seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction.

A Houston man filed a lawsuit in June 2005 in federal court against Pfizer, claiming he suffered blindness after taking its best-selling erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. James Thompson filed the civil suit against Pfizer in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on Tuesday and is seeking more than $75,000 for his vision loss. He is also seeking class-action status because it has been estimated that since 1998, 23 million people have taken the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra, the trade name for sildenafil.

L-arginine is an amino acid found in foods such as meat, dairy products, poultry and fish. The body uses arginine to make nitric oxide, a substance that relaxes the blood vessels.

Arginine appears to be safe at moderate doses of 2 to 3 g per day, although minor digestive distress can occur. High doses of arginine may stimulate the body’s production of gastrin, a hormone that increases stomach acid. For this reason, arginine may be harmful for individuals with ulcers and people taking drugs that are hard on the stomach.

L-arginine may also alter potassium levels in the body, especially in people with severe liver disease. It is particularly a concern for people who take drugs that alter potassium levels such as potassium sparing diuretics and ACE inhibitors.

In a double-blind clinical trial, 50 men with problems achieving an erection received either 5 g of L-arginine per day or placebo for 6 weeks. More men in the treated group experienced improvement in sexual performance than the placebo.

Gingko
Some research suggests that ginkgo may be useful in erectile dysfunction, due to their ability to stimulate blood flow to the penis. In one study of 60 men with impotence due to poor blood circulation demonstrated a 50% success rate after 6 months. In addition, some research suggests that ginkgo may be useful for impotence caused by drugs in the Prozac family as well as other types of antidepressant medications.

Gingko appears to be relatively safe. It should not be combined with blood-thinning drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin), heparin, aspirin, and Trental (pentoxifylline). Ginkgo may cause bleeding problems if combined with natural blood thinners such as garlic, phosphatidylserine, and high dose vitamin E. There have been some case reports of subdural hematoma (bleeding in the skull) and hyphema (bleeding into the iris chamber) with ginkgo use.

Zinc
Deficiency of zinc is known to have a negative effect on sexual function. Zinc is one of the most commonly deficient minerals. A typical dosage for impotence is 15 to 30 mg daily, taken with 1 to 2 mg of copper, since supplemental zinc interferes with copper absorption. Too much zinc can be toxic, so do not exceed this dose.

Damiana
The herb damiana is used traditionally in Mexico as a male aphrodisiac. It is a popular male aphrodisiac with a mild effect. Damiana is also used for inability to achieve orgasm in women.

Damiana appears to be safe at the recommended dosages. However, it contains low-levels of compounds similar to cyanide, so excessive dosages may be dangerous. Safety of damiana in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver and kidney disease is not established. The only common side effect is mild digestive distress.

Pygeum
Pygeum is a tall evergreen native to central and southern Africa. Pygeum bark has been used since ancient times to treat urinary problems. It doesn’t appear to work by affecting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. Pygeum is known as a herbal treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Pygeum appears to be non-toxic. Side effects include mild digestive distress.

Siberian ginseng
Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is believed to be an aphrodisiac. It is believed to be an adaptogen, which means that it affects whichever system of the body in need of support. Siberian ginseng is considered by many traditional Chinese doctors to be a superior treatment.

Traditional Chinese practitioners also use lycium berries and lotus seeds for sexual dysfunction to enhance kidney and liver energy.
