Natural options consideration for broader sexual health improvements
As a family practice physician and educator for the past 25 years, I've heard from many patients that the side effects from the prescription ED drugs mentioned in the Consumer Reports study are a real and ongoing concern and—too frequently—a deterrent for men seeking help in the sexual health arena. Another cause of concern as was noted is that male sexual health issues are much broader than just blood flow, however, the current prescriptions do nothing to address a man’s libido, energy, hormonal balance, etc.
It's encouraging to see the emergence of natural solutions being grasped, and that men understand there is a need for a natural, safe and side-effect free option to maintain or improve their overall sexual health as they age. This is an exciting time to be a man over the age of 50, 60, 70, and more, as there has never before been more options to improving this vital part of a full and happy life.

As patients age, we often focus more on life-threatening conditions and less so on "quality of life"-threatening ones. However, the ability of knowledge and medical science to increase lifespan provides new opportunities to examine healthier, older men and women. These individuals enjoy sexual activity like their younger counterparts. The natural assumption that sex loses importance with age is becoming less of a reality.
Medical providers can address intimacy issues as they relate to overall health with patients. For example, the impact of low testosterone in older men is being increasingly recognized and can often be treated. The relationship between erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease is also well-established.
At a minimum, we physicians need to consider asking about sexual health. While our patients may not demand that we do, they need it checked, perhaps as much as their blood pressure.

Be very careful about implantation of saved tissue.
Subject:Cancer Could Return Unless Stored Ovarian Tissue Undergoes Adequate Testing Before Re-implantation
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080421191421.htm
Only a few facilities have the capacity to safely test for residual cancer cells when implanting reserved ovarian or testicular tissue.
It is not a well-developed process, yet. But, hopeful going forward.
An Ignored Avoidable and Devastatingly Serious Sexual Problem
My colleagues, my extended European and north American family and I, maintain a certain skepticism vis a vis the medical profession. Some examples why. 1) Until the great American research team, Dr. William Masters and Dr. Virginia Johnson published their extensive laboratory research on human sexuality, the field was shrouded in myth, medieval tales and Victorian attitudes pretending to be science. In the face of skepticism, with experimental proof Masters & Johnston, demolished these. 2). Until the advent of the well known and massively advertised medications for Erectile Dysfunction appeared, the standard treatment for male impotence offered by the medical profession was close to alchemy and sorcery.
Now there is another sphere where the medical profession is failing tens of thousands of men annually. This is where, as a side effect for cancer treatment with powerful combinations (called cocktails) of chemo-therapy drugs, the cancers are cured but the men are turned into eunuchs, totally impotent and incapable of sexual feeling, desire or even love. This medical crime of carelessness is totally avoidable. How? Because by removing and freezing a little piece of testicular tissue before the chemotherapy, then replanting it after a few weeks after, the androgen/testosterone producing cells will start replicating themselves, and full normal sexual abilities will be restored. This is beyond experiment, and these operations have been carried out in Greece, Italy and England. But nowhere has this procedure been widely adopted. So eacy year, many men's lives are saved, and at the same time also ruined. Why? This should not be allowed. People need to protest, especially in America.Why America? Because, compared to Europe, in America citizens are less willing to be like sheep, accepting without question the pronouncements and actions, right or wrong, of "experts." So it is in America that action to correct this terrible situation is most likely to begin, when enough Americans find out the truth. As Abraham Lincoln said, "You cannot fool all the people all the time." Who knows? Perhaps on reading this, someone will decide to take action. Maybe even a U.S. Senator interested in health and medical matters. I sincerely hope so.
