Where the rubber hits the road

Nowadays, condoms come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors, and there are even male and female styles now.  There are small ones, huge ones, skinny ones, grape, green, glowing, or peppermint candy ones; from latex to lamb skin – you name it, and there’s one probably out there.  Most women appreciate great sex, and the sperm stopping power of condoms, but scoff at the ribbing, bumps, bulges, and gadgets that men have designed into the rubber as ineffective.   Birth control pills while doing the best to prevent toddlers in the house, do nothing to stop sexually transmitted diseases, and they have negative consequences for women when it comes to lowering testosterone and increasing risks of stroke.  Wouldn’t it be great if we could find a birth control pill for men?  Well, there soon could be, and it is a natural approach!

Are you on the pill?

If you were designing the perfect contraceptive, it would be amazing if you could find one men could take.  Something natural, and easy to use, that doesn’t cause a lack of sensation on the private parts, won’t slip off, or break, and normal fertility can be restored soon after drug administration is terminated.  Is this a pipe dream or possible? Read on – you may be surprised!

Nutcracker – great ballet, poor birth control choice

Old school birth control aka getting “racked”.  The testicles are quite the manufacturing plant – making not only testosterone hormone, but also sperm.  We do know that trauma can have a negative impact on the production of both hormones, and any boy can easily recall a time when they had a significant pain in the shorts after some kind of accident.  Vitamins and minerals have a huge impact on the quality and quantity of male hormone production, but who knew that by blocking them you could literally castrate a man!  I guess scientists have know this for over a century but I must have missed that memo!

Do you have your A game?

As I mentioned, scientists have known for almost 100 years that depriving an animal of dietary vitamin A causes male sterility. Only recently has technology afforded us the ability to block a single nutrient from being able to get inside the cell to do it’s job. The brain of the cell – the nucleus, requires a code to allow entrance inside.  If we jam the lock which is RAR alpha (a nuclear receptor) Vitamin A cannot get in, and that results in male infertility.  Vitamin A is one of four fat soluble vitamins and one of 13 essential vitamins your body needs for health. It is an important nutrient and in third world countries, children that don’t get enough vitamin A get a condition called xerophthalmia that causes permanent blindness  - see  www.isightproject.org for more information on that tragedy.  You can donate to help that cause if you would like.

Tied up in nuts (knots)

For those who don’t want to block their vitamin or slap on a condom – vasectomies seem like a good idea, right?  Well, sperm stoppage is a war that rages on, and while it seems to be possible to create a temporary or permanent block of the fluid of life, many would love to find a natural way to block sperm without causing loss of the feeling of the sex act, or having a portion of their body cut in two.  If we could target men rather than women, and make it convenient and reversible – that would be something.  I am convinced by my medical practice experience, that men who get vasectomies, seem to encounter significant problems with low testosterone (low-T) a few years after the operation, despite the pre-surgical information that states it will not affect anything but sperm blocking.

May have to chew your arm off in the morning

I wonder what is going to happen if we block vitamin A to get birth control, and then the lack of vitamin A causes vision problems.   Gees, guys might get even worse cases of Beer Googles.  This could be very dangerous!  At least no love babies will be made from having thirteen too many beers, and three Tequila shots- that could be a plus!

Time to go take my vitamins,

Fat Burning Secret is in the sole of your shoes – fat busting is measured in how many steps run, not reps you pull!  New science says your best way to slim and sexy is running, not lifting weights!

Monitoring Fat Loss in Runners

A key finding in a German study on long distance runners show that the first tissue affected by running was fat tissue!  More importantly, visceral fat loss -the most dangerous fat  linked to cardiovascular disease goes away.  This is big news!

Liposuction cannot reach inside your guts to get to the fat

It has always been dogma, that when you put yourself in a negative calorie state through dieting or catabolic exercise, that your body burns protein (or muscle) first, not fat.  We have always used hormones to protect the fat which works well.  But, this study suggests that running doesn’t follow that pattern.

Anna Kournikova has it going on~ tennis is really good for the body and butt!

So if you are going to get running, make sure you get the right shoe to fit your body frame and match your goals.  I don’t think pumps will be the perfect shoe.  Most importantly, look at your footprint and determine if you have a high arch, medium, or flat foot.  With a high arch, look for neutral, medium arch look for stability, and for low arch try motion control.

To all the ladies and men out there who find themselves up against the clock of aging, seeing all those facial lines and creases appearing out of nowhere – it is time to fight back! I remember a time when I worked for a greeting card company and the biggest selling card was a birthday one.. It said, “May the bluebird of happiness…..crap all over your birthday cake!” That was over 40 years ago, and maybe we should update the message to appeal to today’s audience. ” May the nightingale of the Bronx…..crap all over your face!” They can, and do now, in spas across the Nation- and it will cost you $180 to have it happen.

Based on a traditional skin care secret practiced by the beautiful Geisha of Japan, this “bird poop” facial combines powdered nightingale droppings (generally sanitized using uv technology) and Japanese rice bran. This unique mix both exfoliates and lightens dark areas of the face and more is known as the “Geisha facial” which sounds more polite than “poop facials.”

Nightingale dropping based ingredients are also called, “uguisu-no-fun” and can be used as a makeup remover. Celebrities, like Posh Spice use the uguisu to have fun, and to brighten, heal and retexturize her skin due to natural enzymes and guanine, which imparts a pearly luster to the skin.

David likes hard body Posh with soft bright skin. While it is nice to have even, bright skin, it is more important to get moisture into the deeper epidermal layer, and also restore the collagen support structure that presses the skin tight from below. I will cover several interesting skin treatments in upcoming blogs, but I must say the most important thing is to get to the collegen. We do this with fillers like Restylane and Perlane, and also with Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Replacement therapy. Of course, it is important to also get some Botox now and again too. The long term solution is vitamins and human growth hormone. I will go into these in upcoming blogs as well, but if you want to read about it try www.pbpmed.com or www.nationwidesi.com, and www.ivitaminscience.com for excellent resources. HGH would sure help David heel that achilles….

So next time a flock of birds fly over, don’t just look up, grab a cup!

Ladies, be careful of the sloppy kisser! 

I’ve been researching  kissing a great deal recently.  Scientists  know that locking lips causes an upswing in oxytocin - (which is released during orgasm too) and we thought perhaps that influenced sexual behavior.  But now we think it’s the testosterone in man’s spit that causes women to want to take their clothes off!  That’s right, there is measurable testosterone in saliva, and other dischargable fluids – and it is thought that sloppy kisses may indeed be a way for a man to increase a women’s sex drive! 

But that isn’t the only danger!

Ancient Eastern Kissing Technique – Huh?  What?

A young woman in southern China has lost her hearing after her boyfriend ruptured her eardrum during an excessively passionate kiss.  A 20 year old girl from Zhuhai, China, went to hospital completely deaf in her left ear after her boyfriend applied some serious suction.  “The kiss reduced pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear.”  Rumor is the man worked at the local water department, and frequently primes the main pump.

Taylor Lautner giving Taylor Swift some spit!  TW  is talented, beautiful, and always is the epitome of class and style.  (Kanye West…enough said..)

Lips are often viewed as a symbol for sensuality and sexuality. This has many origins; above all, the lips are a very sensitive erogenous and tactile organ. Reproductive psychologists have suggested that one reason the female lips are seen as sexually attractive might be because they mimic the appearance and sexual swelling of the labia of the vulva, and that a woman’s lips are effectively a secondary sexual organ.  Some feel that women’s saliva also contains hormones that influence a male’s sexual fertility and desire.  

We make kissable  lips with Restylane in our center www.pbpmed.com and all of my patients attest to the fact that men tend to see them in an entirely different light when their lips are fuller.  You can see a video of this on http://trollydolly.us when we recorded the process!

It’s always kissing time,

Turkey Increases Testosterone

The protein from organic turkey will help maintain optimum testosterone levels, and increase it in men who build muscle through working out.  True organic is better than traditional commercial turkey because the hormones used in industrial turkey can increase estrogen production and lower testosterone levels. Diets low in protein in elderly lead to elevated sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels and decreased testosterone bioactivity. Fat makes estrogen!  The decrease in bioavailable testosterone can result in declines in sexual function and muscle and red cell mass, and contribute to the loss of bone density.

Turkey sandwiches decrease your waist size and boost your sex life

President Obama charged a reporter on his campaign bus $115.62 for a cup of soup and a turkey sandwich.   This change we can believe in- it is called taxation, taxation, taxation.  We should have seen the writing on the wall then.  We do have a lot of turkeys in Congress and the White House right now.  Eating turkey is good, voting for them is bad.

Don’t be Trypped up by Turkey and Sleep through Sex

Turkey does have the makings of a natural sedative in i­t, an amino acid called tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, meaning that the body can’t manufacture it. Tryptophan helps the body produce the B-vitamin niacin, which, ­in turn, helps the body produce serotonin, a remarkable chemical that acts as a calming agent in the brain and plays a key role in sleep.  Nobody has sex right after a thanksgiving dinner – except for vegetarians.

Perhaps we should introduce a spanking bill for Congress?

Spanking increases testosterone!

At spanking parties, women showed significantly higher levels of testosterone when experiencing these types of S&M activities. The researchers said the testosterone boost may be a sign of stress, or may help women deal with the aggression displayed by their partner.

Assemblyman Michael Duvall (R-Yorba Linda), whose remarks were videotaped in July during a lull in a Sacramento, California  hearing, stepped down less than 24 hours after the tape spread online.  He talked at length about spanking his his mistresses and her eye-patch underwear.  Now he denies any affairs!   Maybe he needs a spanking so that his testosterone increases and his memory clears!

I don’t think this was the actual pair of “eye patch” underwear his mistress was wearing? Do you?

Maybe his girlfriends just needed testosterone?  In women, testosterone increases vaginal lubrication in the same way that it increases nitric oxide in men’s arteries, allowing their penis to become erect.

For women, testosterone has the power to decrease fat mass, and increases lean body mass.  In other current news, it looks like “Miss” Semenya has testicles inside his/her body pouring out testosterone, instead of ovaries which make estrogen. 

Although many in the track and field regulatory bodies feel that they should strip him/her of her records, I think it is clear a spanking isn’t going to be necessary!

Time for Time Out,

HGH makes Super Heroes

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) replacement therapy is one of many great tools used in anti-aging medicine. It has been shown that as we age our bodies natural growth hormone production decreases. Actually, we continue to make HGH -see below.   Many of the negative effects of aging are seen as a result of this decrease. 

I have found that the American Academy of Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine (AAARM) provides the finest education to physicians who want to excel in the advanced preventive medicine arena.  I have just been Board Certified in Anti-aging and Rejuvenation Medicine and we believe in Growth Hormone and Sermorelin and other cutting edge products where I practice in Palm Beach.   I have seen patients achieve phenomenal results with few even minor side effects from Sermorelin or HGH.  Of course, we do it all, and that includes dietary, physical, and nutrient replacement along with the replacement of selective hormones to keep people performing optimally.

Charcoal Grill Starter – the New York Times

The natural HGH coursing through your body right now is, indeed, a perfectly remarkable anabolic hormone. There has been so much bad press about “Steroids” and “Anabolics” but the drama has been produced by those looking for sensationalism and fueled by their ignorance.  Steroids are not only helpful and safe, when provided by a competent doctor, and they are essential to life.  (Cholesterol and Estrogen are steroids!)  HGH  produced by the pituitary gland throughout life, but the levels gradually decline with age. The hormone is key for growth of muscle, bone and cartilage, enhances immune function and helps burn fat.

The Core Fat Killer

One of the best things about HGH is the fact that it allows us to burn off that flabby stomach, or aggravating “love handles.”  When you try to starve yourself thin while running or biking miles and miles, you will first see a loss of muscle mass, but your stomach may just sit there looking at you.  Frustrating!  With a small injection of HGH 5 days a week you will literally see your body reshaping.  Bring out the skinny jeans, or get those work jeans on without cutting off important circulation again!

Atm AntiAging

HGH can be expensive ($600 – 900.00 per month USD) yet worth every penny!  Honestly, how important is your health to you?   There simply isn’t any finer product on the market available to you that can do so much.

Timeless.

Gynecomastia - Male Breast Development (aka Man Boobs, Moobies, Bitch Tit)

Androgel, or any testosterone product (cream, patch, pill, or injection) can turn out to be a disaster for men (and doctors) who don’t know all about hormones and how they work.  You must block estrogen using an aromatase inhibitor or you risk breast development and many other problems!  In my practice, I see tons of guys who complained to their doctors about low sex drive, and they were promptly given a sample and prescription for a year’s worth of cream.  This is much worse than if you did nothing!   I single out Androgel, because it is the most common offender of boobs (in the gym they are always called “Bitch Tits”) in men because of the convenient pump.  That convenience quickly turns to more than an inconvenience!  Does anyone have the number of that plastic surgeon that does breast reduction in men?  1 800 No Estrogen Blocker.

The Testosterone Cascade

The Aromatase Enzyme-  (see the left side of the diagram) Here’s how testosterone is converted to active metabolites some good – some bad (for men).  It is the estradiol that causes many problems for men, not just “man boobs”, but it can cause bloating, emotional outbursts, tears, depression, love of the color pink , and leads to loss of the ability to keep an erection (ED).  The sad part is, the testosterone does increase desire and erections, but the estrogen makes it impossible to do anything.  I am not a conspiracy freak, but I wonder if Androgel and Viagra have teamed up on the men of this world? 

Diet Testosterone – if you look at this picture for two minutes solid – you won’t eat for a week and you will lose weight.

Look for my upcoming blog on synthetic and natural estrogen blockers – they really are the power behind any good testosterone treatment plan.

Time counts,

Horny Goat Weed – (this is just a picture of a goat,  the herb comes from the ground )

This amazing Chinese herb has almost mythical powers, and has been used by practitioners around the world for over 2,000 years to restore sexual desire and to boost performance in the bedroom.   Known as Yin Yang Huo, this herb’s method of action has not been well described, yet it is felt that it boosts nitrous oxide when the dried leaves that contain sterols like magnaflorine, are consumed.  Just two to four capsules of a good quality horny goat weed product should really get your juices going and put some punch back in your game.

Smoking Horny Goat Weed is not recommended, it can make you wear silly hats.  There are people who are eating and smoking this weed, and both ideas are bad.  You will stink in bed and stink in general from the smoke.  Just pick a quality brand of HGW and take the capsules as directed.

Don’t stink, take Zinc!  (and Vitamin E)

Vitamin E sometimes is called the “sex vitamin” as it plays an important role in  the male and female sexual experience.  During the sexual intercourse (coitus) both clitoris and penis require additional quantity of oxygen, which is delivered with blood. Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) helps blood cells to transport oxygen quickly and effectively, avoiding thus the process of oxidation. Vitamin E plays influences greatly a pituitary body which controls the work of genitals. If there is an insufficient amount of zinc in a man, they will not have sex desire, cannot keep an erection, nor will they produce sperm that are healthy or in sufficient  number – basically their potency will be lower. In the course of time the body partly loses ability to acquire zinc with nutrition. The lack of zinc can cause serious problems for men and all nutrients and co-factors need to be in good supply to remain healthy and vital.

Cnidum Monnier

This popular sex stimulator  herb is often found in combination with other botanicals in natural erection booster formulations.  It grows in China, Russia, Europe, and now in Oregon, USA.  It is a bitter herb, that often is found growing in ditches, and wasteland that increases nitric oxide release while inhibiting PDE-5 (like Viagra) which means healthy erections that last a long time.  Most all products that contain this and related herbs, call themselves “natural viagra” but they clearly are not.   Products include this herb with other botanicals including ginseng, tribulus, and arginine to name just a few and market their product well, preying on guys who feel a tremendous urge to solve their problem. 

Nothing Fake Here – Cameron is a Natural Aphrodisiac!

“Sex is the best!  You have to really enjoy being sexy. Not fake anything. Sexy is being in the moment, whether that means being coy or coming on hard. Faking is always lame and it never comes across the way you want it to.”– Cameron Diaz, actress and model

“Strips or Steel?” – There’s a sucker born every minute with ED apparently

Since these products are considered dietary supplements, and treated as food, they don’t have to meet any standards that drugs must to be sold.  So be wary of products that promise too much, you know the ones with the fancy labels, as they usually don’t bring anything to the table (or your bedroom!)  Actually the only thing that gets bigger is the wallet of the guy you are sending your money to.

Sun, Sleep, and Fresh Air – in the end, you need to lower your stress, and enjoy your life

Without doubt best aphrodisiacs are sun, a good sleep and fresh air. A good sleep is necessary for the body to pack itself up, to increase its energy and revitalize its hormones. Sun light is a powerful doping for our body including sexual hormones. The main reason of men’s vitality in holidays is being relaxed in fresh air.  So, if you want to keep your dog in the hunt, it pays to take in proper nutrition, add supplements, exercise,  keep your priorities in order, and let go of the nasty habit of not smelling the roses as life goes by. 

Time Matters,

 Dr. Frye

Erection Failure (dysfunction) will make you want to hide your head under the covers

There was a study done in Boston a few years back that estimated over 52% of the entire male population in the United States between the ages of 40 and 70 suffer from mild to moderate erectile dysfunction (ED) .  There is a very strong association between ED and psychological factors, including depression, low levels of dominance, and anger.  Also, changing jobs, partners, patterns,  increased work demands,or if you are experiencing lagging hormones (low libido), or nutrient deficiencies- will contribute to your problem.  I speak to my patients daily about these topics, and must not be so focused on one thing.  You must have a balanced life to have great sex!

Part of the process of erection involves the release of nitric oxide (NO) in vasculature as a result of sexual stimulation. NO activates enzymes leading to smooth muscle relaxation in blood vessels supplying the corpus cavernosum, resulting in increased blood flow and an erection.  Without NO, it is a No Go!  So, let’s review a bit about Nitrous Oxide, and then I can show you what can be done to increase it.

Nitrous oxide was first produced by a minister, Joseph Priestly, in 1772, who recognized that this gas helped to relieve pain he had at the time.  It took 50 years of playful interest in this “laughing gas” before it was looked upon as a serious way to anesthetize people who needed surgery.  200 years later we now know the value of this molecule as it affects muscle development, reproductive capability, and many other systems. 

So, if we can increase NO,  the enzyme, cyclic guanisine monophosphate (cGNP)  will increase which makes everything work exceedingly well.  Medications, like the “Blue Pill”Viagra block the enzyme that degrades cGNP so it stays around longer, making you stay around longer. 

Enrique Iglesias & Anna Kournikova are praying that his prescription for Viagra came in the mail. 

Enrique  said recently,”I don’t like Viagra. I need Viagra.”   There is no doubt that Viagra is an effective and safe drug in treating ED,  but successful intercourse occurs on average 50%–60% of the time.  Well, if Anna gets bored because of Enrique’s ED, she can always stare at her new diamond engagement ring he gave her.   Other medications like Cialis, “the yellow pill”tend to work similarly, just work longer – up to thirty- six hours.  You have to be careful not to drink too much alcohol with this medication because severe dizziness and fainting can occur.  Anyone that has heart problems, take blood pressure or angina (heart pain) medications should be especially responsible with this medication. 

If you do get some of the blue or yellow pills, please make sure to keep this and all medications safe from others, (and pets).    Someday soon there might be an effective Viagra ”pink pill” for women – so far there isn’t anything great yet.
