Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Now I know I am an autistic adult. I have done 6 rounds of chelation already, and on several supplements - B, C, D, Magnesium, Calcium, Ginkgo, Bee Pollen, Selenium, Probiotics, Omega 3. My mind is now more clear and my muscles are becoming stronger. I can feel these. But I am still suffering from very low libido. What should I do? Ginkgo Biloba is supposed to be a libido enhancer, but it seems that it does nothing. BTW, the more I read, the more I get to know abt the several parts of the body are possibly having been damaged by the Thimerosal and the Amalgam fiiling. I know the mercury caused me Hypothyroidism. What else are possibly been damaged so that I got chronic fatigue syndrome? The adrenal? The kidney? Does Andy's book mention about these damages? The book has not arrived to my home yet. Thanks, Chan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi Stave, I found this on a body builders website regarding prolactin and sex drive. I hope it helps. I don't remember the site, I got it from. Lost: One Sex Drive. Answers to the name of " Woody " Q: Is there anything a person can do to get his sex drive back after a cycle? Even with Clomid this seems to take a while. A: If you simply want to increase the urge to have sex, then you can go with clomiphene along with bromocriptine or something like vitex which is found in Biotest's M. The reason is simply because these substances are dopamine agonists which can lower the production of prolactin (prolactin decrease sex drive and is often elevated after a cycle of Testosterone and other androgens). When prolactin is decreased, sex drive can increase rather dramatically. (There was even a case in the UK where a man sued the makers of bromocriptine since it gave him an uncontrollable sex drive.) So why should we care about inhibiting prolactin secretion? Let me explain. First off, estrogen and prolactin are related in terms of their release. In other words, when estrogen rises, so does prolactin. Who gives a rat's ass? You should for a few reasons, one being that it decreases LH and Testosterone. There's also a good amount of evidence suggesting prolactin is partially responsible for the degree of sensitivity in terms of gonadal steroid feedback (negative feedback) and may even regulate the sensitivity of the gonads to stimulation by LH. In one study researchers took eleven normal men and studied them both during hyperprolactinemia and hypoprolactinemia. What they found was that LH rose in a state of hypoprolactinemia. However, in men, it's been shown time and time again that elevated prolactin leads to decreased gonadotropin levels (LH). Furthermore, in a study with men who had elevated prolactin levels, they decided to measure the effect of hCG (acts like LH) administration on Testosterone production. What they found was that in hyperprolactinemic men, their response to hCG administration (measured in terms of Testosterone levels) was significantly lower than that of men with normal prolactin levels. When they treated the individuals with hyperprolactinemia and reduced prolactin levels, they found the increase in Testosterone after hCG administration was much higher. So you think your prolactin levels will never rise? Think again. If your Testosterone rises (and thus estrogen rises via conversion by the aromatase enzyme), your prolactin will rise as well. Furthermore, prolactin has been shown to rise in times of stress. As we know, the combination of everyday life and bodybuilding can produce a large amount of stress. On a side note, this once again confirms to me that methandrostenolone (D-bol) increases dopamine levels and thus increases sex drive. Lastly, Tribex-500 and ZMA can both help with sex drive. Tribex- 500/ZMA also appear to have the benefit of enhancing not only desire, but erections (vasodilation) as well.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I just did a quick read from Google on Deprenyl and it seems to have the same effect as bromocriptine, and if Im reading correctly both seem to inhibit prolactin. > I have heard that bromocriptine or Dostinex may help with Libido.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hi Sorry to hear of your difficulties as you try andd recover from your ill-health. I feel you and your wife need the help and advice of sex-therapist who has experience of endocrine illnesses. I certainly feel (and this is from personal experience as most from this group) that when our relationships are affected by health it needs more than just the couple to try and get back on track especially when it is affecting physical sex. Some hospitals will be able to provide this - Where are you based? Here in the UK a tv series went out where 2 sex therapists treated several couples with sexual problems. It was amazing how their perceptions and interventions overcame seemingly impossible problems. Try and feel their is real hope and discuss with your wife what you both feel and how you feel you might get help and that you are both prepared to seek help and take advice. Cards on the table time - openness etc. Tale care Libido >Can anyone offer any sensible suggestions: >I have hypogonadism from haemochromotosis.
