IMPOTENCE (ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION, ERD)
Natural Support For This Distressing Condition
Erectile dysfunction (ERD),
also called impotence, is the inability to achieve and maintain an
erection. The cause may be psychogenic (mental/emotional) or physical.
More than 90% of the cases are due to physical causes. In men over age
50, a leading cause of impotence is due to atherosclerosis. Many
medications can cause loss of erectile ability.
DIET AND LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
-
Exercise regularly. Exercise improves
blood flow.
- Don’t smoke. Smoking reduces blood flow to the penis by
constricting arteries.
- Avoid excess alcohol. Alcohol alters hormone balance in males,
tending to increase estrogens.
PRIMARY SUPPORT
Maxi Multi:
3 caps, 3 times per day with meals. Optimal (not minimal) doses of
vitamins A, E, B6, and zinc are particularly important for
correcting ERD.
Omega 3 fatty acids:
Flax seed meal,
2 teaspoons per day with food
OR
Flax seed capsules:
2-4 caps, 3 times per day (target dose range: 6-12 caps per day)
OR
Flax seed oil:
1 tablespoon per day
OR
Max EPA
(Omega-3 rich fish oil): 1-2 caps, 3 times per day with meals
(target dose: 3-6 caps per day).
With arteriole insufficiency
(decreased blood supply)
With decreased libido
-
Korean Panax Ginseng: 1 cap, 2
times per day. (target dose: 15 mg ginsenosides per day)
-
Maca: 1 cap, 2 times per day
between meals.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
- If cholesterol is high: see recommendations for
High Cholesterol.
- If diabetic; see recommendations for
Diabetes.
- Support any organ system that scored high on the self-appraisal
questionnaire found on pages 6-8 in your
Holistic Health Handbook.
TESTS
A cardiovascular evaluation should be performed as part of a
complete physical examination. A
male
hormone profile should be performed so that imbalances can be
corrected. Consultation with an
alternative medicine physician is highly advisable, since ERD is
both a health problem AND reflects underlying additional health
imbalances.
