Men Can Reverse Impotence
Dr. Terry Dorian
Dangerous drugs, prostheses, injections, and vacuum devices are not the
most effective ways to deal with impotence. Eighty to ninety percent of
all chronic potency problems are caused by physical degeneration. The
good news is that through dietary and lifestyle changes the body is able
to regenerate. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. While psychological
and interpersonal problems are sometimes the cause of sexual dysfunction,
the most common cause of impotence are degenerative disease (e.g., heart
disease, diabetes, and hypertension).
Although the medication used to treat these diseases are often life
saving, they frequently cause impotence. Therefore, it is important to
work with a physician who understands that dietary and lifestyle changes
are necessary (according to the research) in order to safely reduce, or
eventually eliminate, medications used to treat degenerative disease.
Blood pressure medications are often the cause of reduced potency. Other
culprits are cholesterol-lowering drugs, sedatives, eye drops, anti-depressants,
medications prescribed for the treatment of ulcers, and corticosteroids.
Both alcohol and tobacco induce impotence. Alcohol directly interferes
with the proper functioning of the testes and impacts the nervous system
in ways that contribute to impotence. While many men consider alcohol
and tobacco to be sensual pleasures that are worth the health risks, most
men do not understand the connection between tobacco and alcohol and sexual
dysfunction. By God’s grace and wisdom, anyone can learn to live
without alcohol and tobacco. What man in his right mind would trade a
healthy, virile body for the effects of nicotine and alcohol? Praise God
strength is made perfect in our weakness. Total restoration – body,
mind, and spirit – is available in Him.
Most of us understand that clogged arteries cause heart attacks and
strokes. Often men do not know, and are not told by their physicians that
there is a connection between their cholesterol level and their virility.
Men are seldom told that there is a connection between consuming large
amounts of animal protein and sexual dysfunction. The truth is simple;
when clogged arteries block the flow of blood to the genitals, impotence
is often the result. Thus, impotence is often the warning signal for those
who are in danger of having a heart attack or stroke. The answer is not
found in a pill that enables men to perform sexually. The solution to
impotence is (1) to determine whether or not degenerative disease is the
cause of impotence and (2) to find safe and effective protocols for overcoming
degenerative disease.
Men who are suffering from impotence need to evaluate their dietary
and lifestyle habits in light of the research available concerning optimal
health. Sexual dysfunction is often the warning signal that – if
heeded – will save a man’s life. By heeding the warning and
making the necessary diet and lifestyle changes, such a man has a far
greater opportunity to live longer, and better than he ever imagined.
Steps in overcoming impotence:
- 1. Discover what constitutes an optimal dietary regimen according
to the research. Consider the connection between dietary and lifestyle
habits and degenerative disease. Read my column entitled. Who Are the
Healthiest People in the world and Why?
1. Discuss with your physician and pharmacist the medications that you
are taking in order to determine whether or not the medication(s) may
be a factor in your sexual dysfunction.
2. Begin an exercise program that includes aerobic activity, strength
training, and stretching under the advice of a competent health professional.
3. Stop using alcohol and tobacco.
