Libidus Maxidus Blog

Hey all!

Well, Old Duffer Al is back at it again. Had a few problems with the old health, but I'll be damed if they're going to stop me!

Because I'm still not feeling ship-shape, I'm going to keep this entry to a minimum. I hope readers, all 10 of you, will understand.

Many of us believe, mistakenly, that Viagra or one of the other PDE5s will indeed be the answer to our various erectile dysfunction issues. However, that is not always the case.

There are those that do not respond to the PDE5s, but do respond to one of the herbal Viagra replacements, such as Libidus Maxidus.

If you find yourself not responding to either an herbal or PDE5, I've recently read something that you might find interesting.

This study, although still in its infantcy, involved males who had previously not responded to a PDE5. In the study, the men were given 80mg daily of the statin Lipitor or a placebo. The 2 groups also took 100mg of Viagra for sexual purposes.

After twelve weeks, the Viagra-plus-Lipitor group showed significant improvement in erectile function, while the placebo group showed no such improvement.

Although the number of men in the study was small, the results do show promise. The authors of the study, whom I can't recall, are calling for more extensive trials in the future.

Why the Lipitor acted as it did was not mentioned. I guess the brains are still looking into the "why."

Still, it's nice to know that there may be additional help on the way in the form of Lipitor. We'll just have to wait and see, right?

Okay, I'm drained, believe it or not. Time to rest.

Until later,

Old Duffer Al, one leg in, and the other shaky.

Good day, readers!

Okay, just a bit of PDE5 promotion here. One that I'm taking advantage of myself!

BM Pharmacy is offering a few specials: 10% off on all orders up to the 17th of this month, and 4 free 20mg Cialis pills free if you buy 10.

Pretty awesome deal on what is arguably the least expensive PDE5 pharmacy around.

So, for those of you who enjoy the old libidus maxidus cocktail that Old Man Al uses, this is quite the deal.

You can access BM pharmacy by clicking on the banners to the right of the screen.

Okay, 'nuff of that. Everyone is trying to sell something, and I guess I must admit that I'm also guilty of that. However, I do it for YOU :)

Until later,

Old Man Duffer, but not quite dead, Al

Hello all!

Good God, is it just me, or are my readers also getting overloaded with herbal sex enhancement spam??????

Everyday, when opening the buylibidus/buymaxidus email accounts, I am overwhelmed with that crap.

Someone, somewhere, has FAT pockets and is really doing an aggressive email spam campaign. Makes me wish I knew more about how to sue spammers. Yeah, let me have some of that cash you're throwing away in spam!

And, you know, it's the same old shit dressed in a different package. Shine it on, folks.
-----------------
I've been reading some good things about Viagra lately that almost makes me want to return to the days of yore when I used to do a Libidus/Maxidus/Viagra cocktail.

Why, you ask? Well, seems Viagra/Sildenafil increases the release of several key reporductive hormones.

The big brains at the U of Wisconsin/Madison have found that Sildenafil
actually increases the amount of Oxytocin released by stimultion of the posterior pituitary gland, which is a small gland directly below the brain that is said to regulate hormone levels in response to neural signals.

It is claimed that this is the first evidence of a chemical mechanism through which erectile dysfunction drugs - the PDE-5s - may have physical effects other than simply increasing blood flow to sex organs, or so says Meyer Jackson, a professor of physiology at the U.

Yeah, well, Old Duffer Al is not sure about that one. I can't recall, but I do remember something about Levitra and how it had additional benefits other that ED. Hmmm...have to go back in the archives and see if I can find it.

Just what is Oxytocin(Greek: "quick birth") A quick search finds that it is a mammalian hormone that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. In females, it is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and vagina during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding, respectively.

In humans, oxytocin is released during orgasm in both sexes. In the brain, oxytocin is involved in social recognition and bonding, and might be involved in the formation of trust between people.[1] Also, oxytocin has been known to affect the brain by regulating circadian homeostasis, such as a person's body temperature, activity level, and wakefulness [2].

Oxytocin release is regulated by an enzyme that acts like a braking system, limiting hormone release by dampening neural excitation of the cells. This same enzyme, phosphodiesterase type 5, also limits blood flow by contracting the muscles around blood vessels.

Whoa! Heavy duty hormone, folks!

Anywho...sildenafil acts by blocking this enzyme, essentially releasing the brakes, says Jackson. In blood vessels, relaxing smooth muscle increases blood flow, which rectifies erectile dysfunction. In the posterior pituitary, the cells become more responsive. Jackson says that the same stimulation will produce more oxytocin release.

He goes on to say that he believes this is a missing link in terms of trying to sort out the issues around whether there are additional effects of the PDE-5 inhibitors, like Viagra, Levitra and Cialis.

In truth, folks, this study was done on...you guessed it, RATS (who else?)

I'm going to sum up that study with this: The PDE-5s do not induce erections spontaneously (hey, that's the job of Libidus/Maxidus), they enhance the response to sexual stimulation.

The same thing is happening in the posterior pituitary -- Viagra will not induce the release of oxytocin on its own, but it will enhance the amount of relaese you get in response to electrical (neural) stimulation.

It could be, according to Jackson, that Viagra and the other PDE-5s may work through multiple channels. More study, however, is needed.

The study does raise the possibility that erectile dysfunction drugs could be doing more than just affecting erectile dysfunction.

Well, makes old man Al wonder if my Cialis is doing the same? I can only hope!

Well, folks, I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of fish.

Until then!

Hey readers!

Well, I received a comment from a reader regarding Jon's query as to why it's so difficult to find an Aussie distributor of Libidus.

I always like to post important comments on the main blog page, because many readers miss them when I post them off the main page.

I would like to thank the reader for posting! All of you who stumble onto the blog, please feel free to post a comment anytime.

Anywho, here it is:

Al/Jon

Hi from another aussie.

I think the issue for distribution in Aus is the health regs. The TGA, our version of the FDA, could be an issue if you try and sell even herbal meds, they have very strick rules about only approved product on the shelves both online or in store.

I also find the Libidus/Maxidus does not cut in as per their web page but 1 or 2 depending on the mood give me the boost I need to get things done. I keep up the 1 pill dose whilst the bedroom shuffle is on offer and taper off till needed again.

Keep up the blog Al.

And there you have it, Jon.

"The bedroom shuffle." Now, I like that! Permission to use that in the future?

It's always nice to find folks that are having a positive experience with Libidus/Maxidus. To be damned honest about it, for every positive experience, there is a negative one.

And, yes, I do try to keep the blog going, however difficult it sometimes becomes. I have a few readers who enjoy what I have to say, so as long as you're with me, I'll post away!

As one who suffers from ED, I know that we need to stick together and work out our issues. There is indeed strength in numbers, and healing, also.

So, the blog goes on...

Al, one foot in the grave.
