Our previous study had demonstrated that Chinese medicine Epimedium Sagittatum (ES) exerted immuno-enhancing effect on the animal model of chronic renal insufficiency. In present study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of ES on patients of hemodialysis maintenance. 22 cases of regular hemodialytic patients were treated with ES in the form of decoction. 12 patients with hemodialysis were served as controls. It was found that ES had sexual potentiation effect and improved the quality of life in the patients of chronic renal failure with regular hemodialysis. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) activity of peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) stimulated by PHA was increased significantly in the patients treated with ES. It was suggested that Chinese medicine ES had therapeutic effect on sexual disorder and immunologic inadequacy in the patients of chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.

AIM: To clarify the mechanism of the therapeutic action of icariin on erectile dysfunction (ED). METHODS: PDE5 was isolated from the human platelet and PDE4 from the rat liver tissue. Icariin and papaverine showed dose-dependent inhibitory effects on PDE5 and PDE4 activities. Icariin is a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor that may be developed into an oral effective agent for the treatment of ED.

Muira Puama was also mentioned in the Amazon article at health.discovery.com cited above. I took the
dose that author recommended, instead of just a couple capsules as directed, and I tell you within
half an hour I was so hard and horny I couldn’t believe it. The effected lasted about an hour. I imagine
this worked because I don’t do such a high dose normally. It was kind of amazing.

Would you please tell me the dose and concentraion of Muira Puama that you tried? I tried the site you mentioned but couldn’t find it.

Horney Goat weed contains yohimba, as do many other truck stop boner enhancers.
That transient truck stop hooker may look good, but she sure as hell aint worth the heart attack
the yohimba is going to cause. Poney up for the Viagra and stop fucking around with the imitations.

****This has been another public service anouncment brought to you
by the same people who make absurd claims that PE actually DOES work. ****

Where did you hear that Horny Goat Weed contains Yohimba? They are two different supplements, maybe you’re thinking of a product that contains both of them?

This thread is old, brother :D

You are right, though. But, maybe they meant a certain supplement contains Horny Goat Weed and Yohimbe. Like they call their supplement Horny Goat Weed, but it also might have small amounts of Maca or Yohimbe Or Tongkat Ali.

Recent research I read claimed that Maca does make you hornier, but doesn’t change anything about your size or testosterone levels.
