Matt Cook here, and disease states which are usually reversible lead to the narrowing and tightening of blood vessels.

This changes blood flow – restricting its movement around the body.

Inadequate blood flow starves every part of the body – including the penis.

When blood flow becomes more difficult, the body increases blood pressure to try and force more blood to the muscles and organs.

This is one of the reasons why high blood pressure is associated with poor rockiness.

It’s not blood pressure that causes the problem – blood pressure is just a side-effect.

That’s a topic for another time – I have covered it in detail in my newsletters.

But there is another factor that can cause penis problems…

It seems that the treatments commonly used to treat high blood pressure also cause poor rockiness – or make it worse.

At least some of them do..

The human research was carried out at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. This paper was published in The Journal of Clinical Hypertension.

Rockiness problems and other sexual problems have been linked to both high blood pressure and blood pressure treatments.

This worries doctors and researchers because if these treatments affect your sex life people are less likely to take them.

The optimal solution is to solve the issue causing high blood pressure so you don’t need the treatments…

…not to suppress the symptom with treatments which cause other problems.

This research paper was written to inform doctors about the effects of different blood pressure treatments on sex life…

…so they can recommend treatments that men are more likely to take.

Blood pressure treatments can often cause sexual problems – so changing treatments can solve that issue – at least for a while.

The research involved analyzing a lot of previous studies on different blood pressure treatments.

The authors also looked at lots of reports from men using these treatments.

Numerous studies have shown that men who use blood pressure treatments often report sexual side effects – not good ones.

But some blood pressure treatments seem less harmful to libido and sexual performance.

One blood pressure treatment called losartan actually seemed to improve the sex life of men with high blood pressure.

A number of human studies showed that losartan actually improved rockiness, sexual satisfaction, and frequency of sexual activity in men.

Blood pressure treatments like losartan might actually improve sexual function – quite the opposite of most blood pressure treatments.

Losartan lowers blood pressure by acting on an enzyme called angiotensin II.

This enzyme also affects the ability to get rocky.

Losartan changes how the penis handles blood flow.

You should always work closely with your doctor regarding your treatments.

If you’re having these problems your doctor might be interested in changing your treatments to one which has fewer side effects.

I think the best solution is to reverse the problems causing poor blood flow in the first place…

Because these problems are the root cause of high blood pressure and rockiness problems.

About 805,000 Americans have a heart attack every year.

And about 1 in 5 of these heart attacks is silent.

That means that people have the heart attacks and all the damage associated with them, but the damage is permanent.

For most people, a heart attack is their biggest risk of death and about one person dies every 36 seconds from heart disease.

Many others have permanent physical and mental effects from having a heart attack.That means that preventing heart disease and protecting your heart if you do have a heart attack are critical to good health.

It looks like vitamin E might have potential in this area.In a mice study published in Redox Biology, researchers studied whether the administration of Vitamin E at the onset of a heart attack could potentially help decrease damage from the heart attack.

"One of the most effective anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agents is vitamin E and its derivatives."

The goal is to find an inexpensive treatment that can be given on the way to the hospital that will help prevent damage.

"Our treatment regime reflects clinical conditions, where patients could receive their first application of vitamin E in the ambulance or upon their arrival in the emergency department, before reopening and stenting the blocked vessel and the following days in hospital before discharge."

In this study, mice were subject to cardio injuries and given vitamin E for three days. Then the researchers measured the heart function of the mice.

The cardioprotective effect of α-TOH treatment compared to controls was already significant at week 1 post-I/R injury (34.6 ± 8.3 vs 48.5 ± 5.7; **p < 0.01). Similar results were obtained at week 2 (32.8 ± 8.6 vs 45.9 ± 3.7; p < 0.01), week 3 (31.9 ± 11.4 vs 46.1 ± 3.8; p < 0.001), and week 4 (30.2 ± 11.8 vs 46.1 ± 3.3

The vitamin E significantly increased the heart health of the mice almost immediately and at 4 weeks out.

The measurements of fractional shortening, cardiac output, and stroke volume also showed significant cardioprotective effects of α-TOH

Because there are no treatments that can currently protect the heart in the case of a heart attack, if these findings transfer to humans it would be quite significant.

"As there is currently no ‘treatment’ available that can reduce the cardiac damage caused by an overshooting inflammation after reopening of a blocked coronary artery, the potential impact of our finding on cardiovascular health would be signi?cant," said Dr Wallert.

Personally, I love vitamin E -- particularly those with high gamma tocopherol, and those that are fully natural rather than made from petroleum.

Some of the best vitamin E today is made from wheat germ and has all the good phytonutrients in it. And no wheat or gluten either.

Vitamin E is pretty miraculous.

I’m hoping this research pans out, because if it works the way the scientists are hoping it could mean much better outcomes for thousands of people every year who experience a heart attack.

The first point I want to make, then emphasize, then re-emphasize, is that there is no ‘the’ cause of cardiovascular disease. By which I mean that there is not, and never has been, any one single factor that can be considered to be ‘the’ cause. Instead, there are many. They can work by themselves or combine with others.

So you can say that, for example, diabetes is ‘a’ cause of cardiovascular disease. But you cannot say that it is ‘the’ cause. Yes ‘a’ cause but not ‘the’ cause. This is not purely semantics. Whilst the difference may seem subtle, it is critical. A table, or the table. A man, or the man. An answer, or the answer.

If there is no ‘the’ cause, what does this mean in practice? It means that many different things, or factors, or whatever term you use to describe them, can lead to exactly the same disease.
