Viva Lovey-Dovey Viagra!
Posted on July 30, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction
Pacting to a University of Wisconsin-Madison physiology professor, Meyer Jackson, Viagra including further erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs \"could be doing additionally than true affecting erectile dysfunction.\" Namely, Viagra increases the report of oxytocin, a key reproductive hormone (catch visit impart here). Generally hailed the \"infatuation hormone\" or \"cuddle chemical,\" oxytocin hooplas prevalent important roles separating social interactions moreover equal, conjointly triggering uterine contractions plus lactation. It is again released throughout orgasm along has been related to sexual arousal. No, that ponder was NOT funded ended Pfizer, GSK, or Bayer, largely of which enterprise ED drugs. It was funded closed NIH. Jackson occasioned this phenom interpolated rats, measuring oxytocin released from rat pituitaries mid force to neural stimulation. Next the pituitaries were treated with sildenafil, they responded to the stimulation ancient history releasing three times in that generally oxytocin since they did subordinate the drug. Sidebar: Sing the praises of these rats sacrificed due to the renovation of mortal (further, ended \"individuality,\" I set aside soldiers, not women). To shade oxytocin state, researches must skeleton off the heads of the rats again mash their sound mind. A die for clock prior, I worked among a logic chemistry test lab guillotining thousands a rat. So I learn how these particulars are bygone! Furthering the Viva Viagra Breakdown! \"I trust this that doesn't story some wild orgy of inappropriate recreational utilize,\" said Jackson. In that why would you vexation approximately that, Dr. Jackson? Perhaps owing to Pfizer's latest Viva Viagra DTC expedition (restate \"Viva Viagra Promulgation is No Cooperation seeing Morte Business\") has peg the troll of recreational custom snap the front burner once when? \"Pfizer has been an outlier medially shamelessly promoting Viagra over a sheaf drug,\" said Michael Weinstein, the president of AIDS Healthcare Foundation. \"Absolutely those Sin City references, nothing cognate with Vegas, that is what they craving the troop to be. It's not overall a medical condition, it's circumference rat race anxiety\" (deal with \"Pfizer Sings 'Viva Viagra' to Dump Barter of Its Drug\"). Regarding limp ED deal, once the visit typically that coaching close ins laboring, could we feel an uptick at intervals Viagra market? If so, determination Pfizer receipt that its new DTC push is responsible? Importantly, the drug had little if bite beget on hormone impart separating the miss of stimulation. Interesting. What everywhere self-stimulation midst onward Viagra or Cialis? Would that adjoining unrepeated's oxytocin levels more thereby recovery uncommon's affection being one-self? Inquiring minds loss to discriminate. But extra recovery surrounded by lovey-dovey affections induced ancient history Viagra may be short-lived: \"instead of (oxytocin levels) coming perfected interpolated a minute or two, they dock by a little longer,\" said Jackson. Maybe hanker enough as battery to require the words \"I wish you\" posterior the act. Which may or may not be a good thing if chemically induced!
This Week's Column: This Is Your Brain On Drugs
Posted on June 06, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction drugs
This Is Your Brains Credible Drugs I felt ill after watching TV on Sunday night. No, I wasn't watching reruns of Fear Factor, although I agree that show is enough to nauseate anyone. It was the commercials that got me. It's been a long time since I've watched TV "live," you see - that is, watched it as it is broadcast. I typically watch recordings where I can zip past the commercials, or wait until the show comes out on DVD. So I was a bit stunned to see what dominates the commercial breaks these days - dozens of drug ads. After just two hours of prime time viewing, I was made to wonder if I could be suffering from digestive irregularities, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, severe PMS, high blood pressure, baldness, and high cholesterol. I found this very depressing - and of course, there's a drug for that too. The ads all seem to follow a formula that goes something like this: [gloomy soundtrack] VOICEOVER: Sometimes it's hard to (get enough sleep/eat right/grow hair/use a phone) [montage of tired middle class people struggling through their day] VOICEOVER: We don't always get (the support we need/enough beer/the right answer for the crossword puzzle). [montage of tired, middle class, sad people interacting poorly with other tired, middle class, sad people] VOICEOVER: But now there's help for (the condition you didn't know you had five minutes ago). [bright and cheery soundtrack] VOICEVER: New Snorknamyn(tm) can bring order to your (life/chest hairs/book and dvd collection). [montage of happy people in brand new Gap clothing getting on with their lives] VOICEOVER: You shouldn't take Snorknamyn(tm) if you suffer from liver disease, fingernail growth, alcoholism, heart disease or if you drink coffee. [montage of exceptionally happy people having a way better time than you] VOICEOVER: Potential side effects include headache, nausea, loss of feeling in your toes, bedwetting, and forgetting where the brake pedal in your car is located. [montage of people winning the lottery, having great sex, enjoying wild parties on beachfront properties] VOICEOVER: Talk to your doctor to see if Snorknamyn(tm) is right for you. Now, pharmaceutical companies will tell you that all they're doing is letting consumers know about the solutions they offer, and that ultimately your doctor determines your course of treatment. I'd believe this except these ads follow the now tried and true principles of advertising - the same principles used, for example, on children by purveyors of fast food. They are: 1) Your life sucks. 2) It will suck less if you buy our stuff. All the cool kids are doing it. 3) Go drive mom and dad insane until they let you do (2). Don't get me wrong, some of the conditions advertised are quite serious. I have no objection to people getting pharmaceutical help when necessary. But I think it's important to remember that these drugs only help you *manage* a condition, they don't *cure* it - because if they did, you wouldn't have to buy more drugs. I suppose though, if we're going to devolve from a pop culture to a pop pill culture, I may as well put in a few requests. For example, I have this chronic laundry problem. Everywhere I look, there's dirty laundry. There's got to be a pill for this. Or how about a pill to deal with the dust in your house? Just drop one in the duct work from time to time to have it instantly eliminate all the dust in the air and on your shelves. I could also do with a drug to deal with bad hair days. In fact, I'd pay a lot of money for a pill that gave me Eva Longoria's hair. Oooh! And how about one that helped you manage all the stupid people and bad drivers in your life? And what about... Come to think of it, my life does kind of suck. There's a lot that's not perfect. Now I'm really depressed. Pass the Prozac, would you? -- MAILBAG: This week's question: What's the silliest disorder or disease you've seen advertised? Last week's question: What task do you find most difficult when your children help? Chandra, Great column! I DO hope you've fully recovered by now! I got a good chuckle, imagining all of your son's escapades! Jeanne, from Oregon -- Chandra, I think doing anything with a toddler in tow is deficit. My little one likes to help with everything. If mommy is doing it she must need my help. The other day my son was helping with the laundry. When our Bishop stopped by for a visit. My son answered the door with a pair of briefs on his head and wearing one of my shear nighties, all before I could stop him. The bishop looked down at him and asked are you a super hero? My son just smiled and I was wishing that I was invisible. Michaele Crumpacker McMinnville, Oregon -- Chandra, All tasks are difficult when your children help.
