Dr Mirkin on Impotence - Interesting Read!

[Guest guest]

C/P from Dr Mirkin Newsletter:

Dear Dr. Mirkin: Now that Vi*ag*ra and other drugs are available,

is there any reason to be concerned about impotence?

It's common for men over 60 to have difficulty

maintaining erec*tions. Two studies, one from Italy and one from

the US, show that men who are impo*tent before that age are at

significantly increased risk for heart attacks (JAMA, December

21, 2005; Journal of the American College of Cardiology,

October 18, 2005.) The most common causes of impo*tence

are arteriosclerosis and diabetes. Less common causes include

low levels of the male hormone, tes*tos*terone, or a brain tumor.

So every man who is impo*tent before age 60 should check with

his doctor and get blood tests for arteriosclerosis and diabetes.

The tests should include cholesterol, homocysteine, Lipoprotein

A, C-reactive protein and HBA1C. They also should get blood

tests for tes*tos*terone and prolactin, the test for a brain tumor.

Since most impo*tent men will have arteriosclerosis or

diabetes, they may need to take appropriate medications, but

they certainly should be exercising and follow a heart-attack-

preventing diet. See http://www.drmirkin.com/heart/8614.html and

I've referenced Dr Mirkin on here many times. For those who haven't found

his website, or heard his radio programs - check him out. Really

interesting, and often entertaining stuff. It's a little sick, I guess, but

I love it on his radio show when someone with diabetes calls in with a

question; the first thing Mirkin asks is " when's the last time you had a

piece of bread. " You can almost bet the answer will be " yesterday " or " this

morning, " and then watch out, cause Mirkin just lays into them about they're

killing themselves eating bread and their doctor sucks, etc, etc.

Other than the ranting on diabetics who don't cut carbs, he's loaded with

good avice from the journals and research.

He also has over 100 hours of MP3 of his old radio program broadcasts.
