Poppers are Pro-Oxidants - They Antagonise Your Antioxidants & Omega 3

Poppers elicit their high by releasing nitric oxide (NO) when metabolised by the enzymes present in the plasma. NO is a free radical that stimulates vasodilation, increasing the oxygen supply to the brain. Oxygen is a source of free radicals & the unsaturated C=C double bonds are 1 of the their targets. Therefore, free radicals destroy the omega-3 essential fatty acids like DHA that you take to improve lipid profile & more importantly, retard neuron degeneration as 1/3 of the brain lipids is DHA. However, these free radicals can be quenced by antioxidants. Therefore, someone taking a lot of antioxidant supplements may not experience a high as great as someone who is taking little of such supplements & is on a poor diet with little fruits & vegetables. On the bright side, the antioxidants protect neurons from free radical attack & degeneration. Therefore, there is less brain damage for one whose diet is rich in antioxidants & is on antioxidant supplements. However, if you wish to retard aging & brain degeneration by supplementing with omega-3 & antioxidants, why use poppers?

Health Implications of Excessive Sex & or Masturbation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), blood is the mother of Qi, & Qi is the commander of blood. One drop of semen = 10 drops of blood. Therefore, excessive masturbation may deplete one's Qi, or life force. From my personal experiences, masturbation is deemed excessive when it is habitually performed more than once a day over several days. When I overdid it, I look & feel lethargic & anaemic. I also complain of poor stamina & mental concentration, appear dazed & confused. Furthermore, I do feel faint during major workouts, esp those that involve various muscle groups from head to toe as much more blood is chanelled to the skeletal muscles, reducing the overall blood pressure. Usually, the heart is able to handle the blood pressure reduction due to vasodilation in the muscles. However, when one is anaemic, the blood pressure is already low. Thus, heart may not be able to tolerate a further reduction in blood pressure. Chronic excessive masturbation may also result in reduction in immunity as the body's resources are depleted, e.g. amino acids to synthesize antibodies against pathogens. Thus, I often experience colds & fall ill more often when i overdid it. If the deficiency is mild, e.g. cold, consuming 2 half-boiled eggs do help to replace some of my Qi to fight against the virus.
Aristotle viewed semen as "refined from food" & it parallels with the notion that a teaspoon of semen = 40 tablespoon on rice. Aristotle hypothesize that masturbation at an early age depletes the body of nourishment to drive verticle growth. Thus, masturbation should be discouraged in young boys until their vertical growth is completed, i.e. ard 18yo.

Receipe for Herbal Viagra

It should at least contain these herbs: Panax ginseng, Cordycep sinensis, Rhodiola rosea, Eurycoma longifolia, Lepidium meyenii, Tribulus terrestris, & Ginkgo biloba. The 1st 5 herbs improve vitality & hence virility. Tribulus terrestris is said to increase gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which increases the level of LH & FSH, which increases the testosterone output from the testicles. Ginkgo biloba improves blood circulation & possess antioxidant compounds, & thus contribute in the preservation of the penile microvasculature.
Additional ingredients derived from insects may be included to further enhance its potency. The new queen leafcutter ant (Atta levigata) & the Thai termite queen are purported to possess potent aphrodisiac properties. Perhaps it is due to certain hormones (e.g. ecdysteroids) that is present in higher concentrations in these queens that is lower or absent in the workers. Certain plants are known to synthesize ecdysteroids (termed phytoecdysteroids e.g. ecdysterone) as defence mechanisms against insect pests by disrupting ecdysis (moulting). Examples are in are Cordycep sinensis, Pfaffia paniculata (Brazillian ginseng), Rhaponticum cartamoides, & Ajuga turkestanica (turkesterone). Thus, pure turkesterone & ecdysterone may be added into this herbal Viagra pill.
Natural supplements in the market are often riddled with fraud & adulteration. I wish there are honest people who can obtain quality raw ingredients from reputable sources for the making of this wonder sex capsule.

Melaleuca Essential Oil for Anogenital Wart Treatment

Melaleuca oil has antibacterial, antifungal, & antiviral properties (e.g. treatment of cold sore aka herpes simplex virus I). It may be applied daily to manage anogenital warts due to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although there is no thorough clinical trials on its safety & efficacy profile, its success has been reported in anecdotes. However, one must bear in mind that there are over 100 different strains of HPV. I believe it can be combined with cryotherapy & the best time to apply tea tree oil is right after cryo. Until now, it is uncertain which of the compound in melaleuca oil that is responsible for its antiviral effects. Consistent daily applications are required. The oil should not be diluted beyond 50% with water. The common adverse effect of topical application of melaleuca oil to penile region is temporal parasthesia. Should it be applied to the anal regions for the treatment of anal warts, it may irritate the rectal wall, stimulating the urge for defecation. Thus, one should apply it after cleaning his anus via douching or enema.

HIV+ Individuals Should NOT Engage in Raw Sex with Each Other

Even if they are HIV+, they should not engage in unprotected sex with each other. The HIV virus mutates very rapidly & there is constant ongoing natural selection for strains resistant against anti-retroviral drugs. Thus, should a multidrug-resistant HIV strain developed in 1 individual, it can be transmitted to rapidly among HIV+ individuals who engage in raw orgies. Thus, in a short period of time, these individuals may run out of suitable anti-retrovirals to inhibit the virus. The greatest concern is on individuals who are just diagnosed with HIV infection & the strain they are carrying is already resistant to several anti-retrovirals.
Besides, HIV+ patients are more vulnerable to other STDs due to their weakened immunity compared to HIV- individuals. Certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) have been associated with anogenital & cervical carcinomas & this risk is high in individuals carrying both HPV & HIV viruses. Multiple STDs & other infections may further strain the weakened immune system, accelerating its exhaustion & final collapse. Therefore, HIV support groups should also advocate protected sex even among HIV+ individuals.
