Are you living with erectile dysfunction? Millions of men just like you are struggling with the same problem so rest assured, you’re not alone. If ED symptoms are causing trouble in your personal relationship, you might have thought the only solution was asking your doctor for a bottle of “little blue pills.” Unfortunately, prescription ED pills have some possible terrible side effects associated with them.

The other problem with this approach to erectile dysfunction is it does nothing to address any underlying medical conditions you may have. Symptoms of ED are just that, symptoms. Erectile dysfunction isn’t a disease in and of itself; it’s a symptom of another problem going on in your body. Once you learn how to fix ED with this one natural supplement, you’ll be amazed at the results!

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the inability to get or maintain an erection for the purposes of sexual intercourse.

The Truth about Erectile Dysfunction

As I mentioned above, the symptoms of ED could indicate a more serious health problem. The most common medical conditions associated with erectile dysfunction are diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low testosterone and prostate disease.

The irony of this is the treatment for these conditions can also be a contributor to male impotence. Prescription drugs that treat anxiety, depression, diabetes, and high cholesterol all have ‘erectile dysfunction’ as a possible side effect.

It’s enough to make any man wonder where he’s supposed to turn!

A thorough blood test I use is one I designed for my patients: Dr. Maxwell’s Comprehensive Test Panel for Men. No doctor’s order is necessary. This test profile may be ordered online and the slip taken to any LabCorp for drawing. The results are sent directly to you. They may also be sent to your doctor if you wish. This test profile rules out many of the medical underlying causes of erectile dysfunction.

Understanding the Symptoms of ED

No matter the cause of your erectile dysfunction, the underlying factor in nearly every case of male impotence is poor blood circulation.

Let’s take a closer look at each medical condition and how it can lead to the symptoms of ED:

Ÿ  Diabetes

Oftentimes, a man will go to the doctor to get help with ED and come home with a diagnosis of diabetes. Erectile dysfunction is a common first symptom of diabetes. In diabetic men, elevated blood glucose levels cause damage to nerves and blood vessels responsible for healthy blood circulation and sexual arousal.

Ÿ Depression

Men living with depression often have difficulty with erectile dysfunction due to a combination of performance anxiety and loss of libido.

High Blood Pressure

Men with high blood pressure often experience ED symptoms due to blood vessel damage.

High Cholesterol

High cholesterol interferes with the body’s ability to produce nitric oxide, an essential component in achieving and maintaining an erection.

Prostate Disease

Prostate disease and erectile dysfunction go hand in hand. The inflammation associated with prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a leading cause of male impotence.

Prescriptions: Help With ED at a Dangerous Price

With so many causes of erectile dysfunction, millions of men are lining up for prescription erectile dysfunction medications such as Viagra and Cialis. The problem with this approach is that not only does it not successfully treat the underlying medical cause of ED symptoms; these pills can also cause serious side effects.

Side effects associated with prescription impotence drugs include:

  • Ÿ  Diarrhea
  • Ÿ  Heartburn
  • Ÿ  Headache
  • Ÿ  Flushing
  • Ÿ  Severe Allergic Reaction
  • Ÿ  Stuffy Noserx pill bottles
  • Ÿ  Chest Pain
  • Ÿ  Numbness of Arms and Legs
  • Ÿ  Seizures
  • Ÿ  Irregular Heartbeat
  • Ÿ  Loss of Color Vision
  • Ÿ  Blindness
  • Ÿ  Memory Loss
  • Ÿ  Heart Attack
  • Ÿ  Stroke

Also, it is imperative that men taking nitroglycerine for angina or other heart-related problems never take Viagra, Cialis, Levitra or any other prescription erectile dysfunction pill. These prescription drugs should also never be mixed with recreational drugs or excessive amounts of alcohol.

How to Fix ED with L-Arginine

Just because you have erectile dysfunction does not mean you have to go to the doctor and get a prescription. As a matter of fact, for my patients, I advise against it. Instead of simply masking the symptoms, I believe in ruling out and/or treating common medical causes of impotence. This way, your body is healthier, stronger, and more ready for natural sexual activity without the need for synthetics.

Here are the two dietary supplements I recommend for my patients with ED symptoms:

 

Diamond Nutritional’s Foundation Vitamins

 

Many men either don’t take a multivitamin supplement or they don’t take the right kind. Store-bought commercial multivitamins are chock full of chemicals, additives, dyes, and preservatives that may make any health condition worse. Often, they also do not contain significant amounts of what our bodies need, or they are not well absorbed.

This is one of the primary reasons I designed my own line of professional grade, nutritionally-sound vitamins, minerals and amino acids. When you choose Diamond Nutritional’s Foundation Vitamins, you’re making a real investment in your total health and wellness. The more essential nutrients your body receives and absorbs, the better you’ll feel and function as a man.

Foundation’s fortifying ingredients include:

Diamond Nutritional’s L-Arginine Supplement

 

L-Arginine is an amino acid necessary for the production of protein and it has been used successfully for decades to treat a wide variety of conditions including erectile dysfunction.

See, what your primary care physician won’t tell you is that L-arginine works in an way similar to the active ingredient in Viagra (sildenafil citrate) without the side effects. So why take that little blue pill if you don’t have to?

Diamond Nutritional’s L-Arginine Supplementhelps reverse ED symptoms by naturally and safely increasing the levels of nitric oxide in the body. This helps relax the blood vessels and muscles in the penis and improves blood circulation. With L-Arginine, you’ll be able to achieve and maintain an erection because blood flow has improved.

In addition to treating erectile dysfunction, L-Arginine also helps treat many of the conditions that cause ED symptoms. According to a study published by the American Heart Association, this amino acid helps strengthen the heart and improve blood circulation in patients with heart disease and circulatory disorders. Another study concluded that L-Arginine completely blocks the progression of plaque in patients with high cholesterol!

More Natural Help with ED

Since erectile dysfunction is a complex problem, it cannot be cured with prescription drugs or even supplements alone. For a man to function and feel his best, he must take good care of his health. This means making dietary changes, getting healthy amounts of exercise, and handling the emotional component of his relationship.

  • Dietary Changes

Obese men often experience erectile dysfunction because testosterone levels shrink while estrogen levels rise. One of the simplest and easiest ways to combat erectile dysfunction is to get healthy and boost your natural testosterone levels. This means ditching the junk and fried food and opting for whole-food nutrition instead.man exercising

To boost your testosterone levels naturally, eat plenty of protein, healthy fat, organic vegetables, and whole non-GMO grains. Food like steak, chicken, turkey, fish, beans, vegetables, butter, coconut oil, olive oil, avocado, and walnuts give your body the well-rounded nutrition it needs to stave off illness and function at its best.

  • Exercise

Men who don’t exercise are at increased risk for erectile dysfunction. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to obesity, circulatory problems, heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes and these are the common causes of erectile dysfunction.

Working out at least 3 times per week using a combination of cardio and strength training can practically work miracles in preventing these diseases and ensuring erectile dysfunction doesn’t affect your personal relationship.

  • Communication

267103A.TIFWhen it comes to dealing with impotence the right way, it’s important not to neglect the psychological component. Now isn’t the time to turn away from your partner. Now is the time to sit down and discuss what you’re going through and how it’s affecting your relationship. Your significant other will be grateful and relieved that it’s a medical condition and not loss of interest, that’s made things difficult in the bedroom lately.

Erectile dysfunction isn’t a death sentence and it doesn’t mean the end of your relationship. Before you pop that prescription pill, address the underlying cause. Try making some dietary and exercise changes and adding Diamond Nutritional’s L-Arginine and Foundation Vitamins.

The only thing you have to lose by treating your ED symptoms the natural way is the scary side effects associated with those prescription drugs! Don’t gamble with your health. Make the wise decision and conquer your erectile dysfunction with Diamond Nutritional’s L-Arginineyour secret weapon in the fight against many male health problems!

  1. Have you heard that taking Rutin along with L-Arginine may help with E.D. Not sure of what dose. But would like to know if this will help. I do take a vitamin for over 50 years old people. exercise and eat healthy.

    • Hello Robert,

      Thank you for contacting me.
      I have found Rutin, along with L-Arginine, to be
      beneficial for patients with ED.
      Along with L-Arginine mentioned in the article, I also
      recommend Foundation Vitamin Formula which has 25 mg. of
      Rutin in 3 tablets. Six tablets will provide 50 mg. of Rutin.
      This is a very popular combination.

      To Your Good Health,

      Dr. Maxwell
