Erectile Dysfunction (ED or Impotence)



Erectile Dysfunction (ED / Impotence) is the inability of a man to hold or have an erection firm and long enough to have sexual intercourse. It may affect a healthy person from time to time and should not be worried about. However, if it becomes chronic and your sex life is affected, you should take it seriously. It may not be easy but you need to consult your doctor about it, mainly to rule out any underlying medical issues. Erectile Dysfunction (ED / Impotence) may be the consequence of diabetes, hypertension, etc. It is often the result of alcoholism and excessive smoking, or indulgence in other drugs. ED affects obese individuals more often. It may also happen temporarily due to stress or relationship issues. Treating the underlying disease or addiction and a healthier lifestyle and proper diet will usually rid you of the problem.

Male erection is a complex function which is achieved by proper interaction and working of the brain, hormones, blood supply, emotions, general health, psychological factors and physical and visual stimuli. Therefore, an issue with any of these factors can result in erectile dysfunction. Sometimes simple anxiety about being able to hold an erection, or performance anxiety may cause Erectile Dysfunction (ED). However, in addition excessive indulgence in sex, porn or masturbation may also cause non-medically treatable Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or impotence.

There are many lost secrets of ancient civilizations that made men sexual super humans. many of these secrets still survive. To discover these secrets you may follow the link HERE >>>>>>>>>>>

Too much porn, masturbation, oral sex, hand jobs, every type of sex where ejaculation takes place outside the vagina can lead you to Erectile Dysfunction (ED). In homeopathy the term used for any sexual act where ejaculation takes place outside the vagina is called “Onanism”. Nature has designed men to be able to have a proper erection for vaginal penetration and to be able to plant enough sperm far enough to be able to fertilize and thereby create life. The pleasure we get out of it is the candy nature dangles before you to procreate. However with the misplaced use of our intelligence we have made this pleasure an end in itself. The brain is our primary sex organ. It stores all the information about whether you have enough semen and sperm to be able to procreate. Accordingly, your system is triggered to send enough blood to your penis to have an erection. Your system is naturally trained to release sperm and semen only when you have enough supply and are in a position to penetrate a woman. However, by repeatedly ejaculating outside the vagina, and often with an incomplete erection, you are re-training your system to believe that it is alright to ejaculate even when the penis is not fully erect.

So, if you are otherwise healthy, are not using excessive alcohol or cigarettes and are physically fit, you can still reverse the dysfunction. You could try Sexual Qigong or Kapaal Bhati both will help you improve the condition. For details please refer to my first post “20 years with Chi Kung and Yoga”. You will also need to start retraining your system if it has been perverted by excessive exposure to porn and excessive masturbation or Onanism. To start with try to give up porn altogether. If it sounds too difficult, try not to masturbate when not with a woman and only ejaculate when inside the woman. If you are too addicted to masturbation and porn, then to start with reduce how often you watch porn and go through all the motions of masturbation but try to stop short of ejaculating. A good way to stop ejaculating is to masturbate with your perineum muscles pulled in. An easy way to isolate the muscles is to think of the muscles you use while stopping from urinating mid-stream. In the beginning you may not be able to stop every time, but with practice you will not learn the trick but will also strengthen the muscles. You can keep exercising your perineum muscles even while you are at work, watching television or sitting around with friends. Try to work these muscles as often as you can. As you get more control and confidence try to get an erection without any visual stimuli. Once you get an erection try to refrain from going thru to full masturbation and do not ejaculate. Initially you will get a partial erection and may not be able to hold yourself from ejaculating. Whenever you ejaculate try to refrain from sex or the exercise at least for a day before you try again. Keep in mind that you are re-training your system to ejaculate only when you have a full erection and only when you have enough supply of ejaculate. You will need to do this exercise over a long period of time, for a few months, remember what you are trying to reverse has got perverted over many years or decades of abuse. So be patient and regular and disciplined and you will definitely be able to reverse the worst case of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). In addition to the exercise you can take Ayurveda medicines like Shilajit. Try consulting an Ayurveda consultant for more guidance, a lot of valuable solutions are available in Ayurveda for all types of sexual disorders.

How to stop a masturbation addiction

The first step towards stopping any addiction especially with things like food, sex, porn, or masturbation is to recognize that it is an addiction and you are an addict. This is quite unlike addiction to alcohol, smoking or other drugs. Second is to have the will and conviction, to do it. Masturbation is not a big problem if you do it occasionally, have a healthy sexual relationship with a woman and are not obsessed by it. However, it still has its consequences so if you can give it up and rely only on real intercourse, it is better for over health and well-being.


On the other hand if you are masturbating excessively, it can really damage your health, social skill, relationship with women and affect you emotionally and psychologically. The symptoms of being an addict usually are that you want to be alone as often as you can, you watch a lot of porn, you do not look at women but their breasts and butts and other body parts for which you may have a fetish.
Once you have established that you are addicted to masturbation, commit yourself and it is not as difficult as you may think it is. Do not try to stop at once. Most men are addicted to porn as well. So try what I did.

I was addicted to masturbation, which I started when I was 7 or 8 years and did not even ejaculate, as I hadn't hit puberty. Most children play with their genitals from a very young age, I guess it is a natural instinct and may be giving them some pleasure. And quite a few end up masturbating even before they hit puberty. When it is excessive, like in my case it can damage your health irreversible and you may have to live with its consequences through your adult life. Your career, health and life in general will suffer.

To know that a child is masturbating is not difficult. Spending too much time in the bathroom or toilet, wanting to keep their rooms bolted or finding lonely spots to hide are some common signs. Bed wetting is a consequence of pre-pubic masturbation.

I continued this suicidal practice till I was about 35 years of age. Even through my relationships with women, I continued masturbating. I got addicted to porn when I was in high school at which time most youngsters get access to such material.

Now this is how I quit my addiction to masturbation. At the age of 28 years I got quite ill with an undiagnosable lung problem. I was treated for Tuberculosis, but even after a nine month treatment, I never got fully well. I kept suffering from, some sort of weakness of the lungs and other nagging medical and health problems, to the extent that I never had a proper career. I turned to homeopathy a few years into this problem. While going through texts about homeopathic remedies, I came across a lot of material and medicines that were specifically for curing bad effects of masturbation, which it seems homeopaths understand much better than modern science.

Once I acknowledged the fact that I was addicted to masturbation and many of my pseudo-medical issues were the effects of this suicidal practice, it did not take me long to decide that I wanted to do something about it. The first thing I did was, I reduced the time I spent indoors and alone. This gave me less opportunity to masturbate. But my condition was so bad that, sometimes I would go for a drive and play with myself, while driving. On further study of homeopathy, and texts on “brahmacharya” in Vedic literature, I realised that the bad effects of masturbation were not so much from the watching of porn or the act itself but due to the loss of precious semen and sperm that happened as a consequence. It takes the body a few days to resupply the sexual system with the precious building material of life. When you are with a real person there are many subliminal messages that are being exchanged which invoke different responses from both individuals. So with a real person it is not necessary that the act would always culminate in ejaculation.  However, when you masturbate the end goal is to have an orgasm and as a consequence loss of fluid. Unlike in real intercourse, during which the man has to penetrate the vagina, when you masturbate you can have an orgasm and ejaculate even if you do not have a proper erection. In frequent masturbators you often find that the ejaculate is very little, because the body has not produced enough material. You may say that the conditions are the same during oral sex or sex between breasts or in other ways with a woman, I will put all this in the same category as masturbation. So the lesson here is that you do not need to give up playing with yourself as much as you need to try to train yourself to come to edge and stop just short of losing sperm and semen.

Ejaculation without a full erection is in a way telling your body and sex centres in the brain that a full erection is not required for sex with a woman, and ejaculating quickly is all right. So, this can lead to problems like erectile dysfunction (ED), impotence and premature ejaculation. This is a recipe for bad sex with a woman and could lead you to more self-gratification, and more complications.
Now let’s come to a solution and my experimentation. What I did was, I kept playing with myself but tried to ejaculate less often. When I tried doing this, my system was so perverted that I would often ejaculate even when I tried not to. But slowly and it took years I got the hang of it and could control loosing semen more often. It has been over 12 years now and in the past 5 years I may have ejaculated not more than 10 times, this is including being with a woman. I have got so obsessed with keeping my precious stuff within that I often have sexual intercourse but do not ejaculate. It often bothers women but that is another story. Now I often have to take a conscious decision and in a way plan the day I decide to release some of my precious stuff. I still play with myself, nearly every day. I sleep in the nude and often have an erection through the night. I am not suggesting that you go as far as I have, but this is an illustration of what is possible.

I never took a conscious decision to give up porn in fact till recently I was enjoying it. But for some reason, I stopped liking it a couple of months ago. I have gained immensely so far as my health is concerned. I feel stronger, mentally and emotionally healthier. In theory, this process is similar to what yoga and yogis preach. Yogis however, preach complete abstinence. Maybe, because they usually lived in groups with little or no privacy, doing overtly sexual stuff like playing with one’s self, would firstly not be socially acceptable and secondly it could lead to homosexuality. But, whatever the reason for not being overtly sexual, they have devised exercises which stimulate the sexual centre or the “mooladhar chakra”. But the end is the same. You need to excite the sexual system with more blood flow and an erection to produce the building materials of life and then use the stuff for your own benefit, mainly to improve overall health, which is the starting point for a higher consciousness.

To end this let me say that do not be guilty about masturbating, others do it too. It does not make you less of a man. I do not think there is any man alive who hasn’t masturbated at some point in his life. Very often, you could be married or in a relationship and your partner does not want it, you are horny so what do you do? But this is not to say that masturbating is good, it is the worst punishment you can give to yourself. Also, always remember every time you ejaculate, you are throwing out material that could make you more sexy and desirable. I always think of semen and sperm as the most precious possession a man has. So save it as much as you can and become sexier and more desirable to real women out there.

Women like a strong, tough man. Testosterone levels play a big role in muscular strength. Testosterone can be increased with the right "male diet". You can find out more on this here >>>

Combating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – CFS with Ayurveda (1)


I Have been living with Chronic Fatigue for the last over 20 years. I have been using a proper exercise regimen, Homeopathy, controlled diet, home remedies and Ayurveda to live with it. In this post I am going to discuss the role of Ayurveda, home remedies, and diet, in combating Chronic Fatigue. I experimented with homeopathy for a long time, gained from it and am still using it. However, recently I discovered that there is a huge treasure trove of supplements and remedies that Ayurveda has to offer. So I started my experiments with Ayurveda. Ayurveda, like Homeopathy deals with the person, not just the disease in isolation, which is quiet unlike Allopathic treatment. Good practitioners of Ayurveda will not just prescribe medicines but will also suggest a proper diet plan and lifestyle changes, especially in cases of chronic ailments. Ayurveda does not just depend on medicinal herbs for treatment, but also used a large number of spices, seeds and herbs used in everyday cooking, or let me say “Indian” cooking. Whether you are a CFS sufferer there are small but sometimes nagging problems that bother you, Ayurveda provides us with a solution to many:

SAUNTH (Dried ginger), KALI MIRCH (black pepper) and pIPLEE (Indian long pepper):  ground and mixed in equal part by volume, forms an excellent powder for improving digestion and fighting off chest infections. I suffer from chronic chest issues, which manifest in the form of continuous cough and phlegm. I started taking this mix in one gram doses two times a day after meals with warm water about 3 months ago. It has greatly reduced my phlegm and cough, and has improved my energy levels. I believe this happens because all three ingredients increase body heat which helps strengthen the lungs. This mix is also an excellent anti-flatulent.

ADRAK (FRESH GINGER TEA): Helps digestion. Good to strengthen lungs and fight chest infections. There are many ways to make it. You can either extract juice, put it in hot water, or like I do take about an inch long piece of ginger, crush it in a mixer, pour hot water, mix thoroughly, filter the mix. Drink the mix hot with or without sugar or honey.

NIMBOO (FRESH LIME JUICE): Great immune system booster. A rich source of natural vitamin C. Take at least 7 to 10 ml juice daily. The best health tonic you can have. It is best to take it without sugar. However if you don’t like the taste go ahead and add sugar or salt or both. Add any other spices you wish. It is a must during fever, flu, cough and cold, if you use lime juice regularly you will not fall prey to these little problems.

CHUKANDER (BEETROOT JUICE): Is an anti-depressant and anti-hypertensive. Taken in large quantities, in clinical tests, it makes a measurable difference to blood-pressure. It gives us a large number of nutrients not found in other food stuff. Taken regularly over long periods, it can keep you relaxed and reduce the need for anti-hypertension medication.  

HALDI (TURMERIC): Is an excellent painkiller. I have used it in toothache and body pain. It is also an anti-bacterial. It is very common in Indian kitchens. According to Vedic astrology, consumption Haldi (usually with milk), has an effect on GURU (planet Jupiter), which rules success and money issues of the subject. So if you are having financial troubles, or just want to make more money more easily, take a glass of milk with a1 to 5 grams of Haldi mixed in it daily. I don’t take it on a regular basis, but do consume it as a mild pain reliever and sometimes at random. I cannot say if it works on money issues or not.

AMLA (INDIAN GOOSEBERRY): Like lime amla is a rich source of vitamin C. It can be consumed as part of a vegetable juice, in a salad, in candy form or in the form of a “murraba”; and Indian style candy.  You can buy candy and “murabba” in the market, readymade.

TULSI (HOLY BASIL): Hindus consider this to be the most holy of all plants and worship it. There are two popular varieties, one is the regular Holy Basil and the other is “shyama” or dark Holy Basil. Usually the regular version is planted in houses and worshipped. The plant has powerful anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and is believed to keep the air around it healthy and free of disease causing bacteria. The leaves of the plant can be chewed or tea made from them can be consumed in fever dry or wet cough, cold, sore throat and bacterial infections. It is a very fragile plant and needs a lot of care. I have tried to grow the plant 3 times, but have failed in each attempt. Dried and processed Tulsi (also called Tulsa) leaves are available in Ayurveda medical stores as a food supplement.

AJWAIN: is an excellent remedy for flatulence and for lose motions or diarrhoea. You may also chew it as a mouth freshener. As a medicine it can be taken in the form of tea or swallowed (3 to 6 grams) with or without black salt. To make tea take 4 to 8 grams of Ajwain in two or three cups of water boil till and reduce to one cup on slow fire. Sip this liquid with or without sugar. It is better not to use sugar. It can be used as a replacement for tea or coffee. However using too much of it can cause constipation, so watch out for this. If it happens simply stop using it and you will return to normal.

Women looking for men and men seeking women


Women are always looking for men who cannot just satisfy them physically but, emotionally as well. Women need much more than the six inches men usually want to offer. For a woman sex is not and cannot be a 20 minute fix, like it is for most men. Unlike men, for women sexual foreplay can begin just talking to a man with the right voice, attitude, and sense of humour. Women take their time selecting the right man and once he is found they will not let go easily, they will use every trick in the book to get him. This is quite unlike men; a man given the opportunity will pounce on just about any woman. He may think and often will, think that he seduced her, but in most cases the truth is quite the opposite. It is always the woman who lets him seduce her.

Often women go for a man who is already with another woman, because they are able to evaluate his behaviour and sexual skill and he has already been “shortlisted”. I do not think any woman knows that she is doing all this complicated rating, but all women have the same set of rules and they all compare notes, unlike men. All this may not happen consciously but a lot of it happens.

 Shocking Words Men Desperately Crave

One may call it the X factor that the man has. But behind all this is the primitive sexual instinct of a woman, which is designed to lead her to the right man for the purposes of procreation, and is common to all warm blooded mammals. Therefore, a man’s natural smell, his body shape, his face, attitude, social status, all play a big role in the process. Then there are the extensions of sexual power. These are usually the car, the house, the job, the boat, the personal jet and other material stuff which in a way are all extensions and outward displays of a man’s sexual power. This all shows to the woman that the man will not only help her procreate but will be good support for the children they have. Because this all happens instinctively, even if a woman knows that a relationship cannot go far the process of mate selection remains the same. Another way to look at it is that a lot more analysis and evaluation goes into selecting a mate by a woman, even if the relationship is only sexual and nothing more, and the woman knows it.

A man seeking a woman is more or less looking for one thing and one thing only, how can I get laid without responsibility and complications. He is looking to satisfy his craving or addiction, as he would for Alcohol, Cigarettes, food or whatever. But this is why most men are sexually starved, even if they are getting enough pussy. To draw a comparison with food they are eating just carbohydrates, which gives them energy but not health. Every time a man gets a quick fix, he just relieves his pent up sexual energy, but is never really satisfied. The other ingredients are missing. Like in food you need all the nutrients to be healthy, in a sex an orgasm, in 10 minutes may relieve the immediate craving but is not what the body and mind need. Men are psychologically hunters as they were in the past. What matters to most men is the number of trophies. You do not have a relationship with your kill.

However, if a man can learn to change this attitude, a real relationship will give him and his woman much more satisfaction. The first thing you need to do is stop masturbating to porn. It takes the body a lot of work to produce sperm and semen, so stop wasting precious body resources. What you ejaculate in 20 minutes flat takes your body to make in 3 to 6 days. Masturbation also has its psychological consequences. Very often you come across men who are very sensitive to the presence of women. Just the sight of her body or body parts will arouse them. The psychological and physical control is lost and you end up losing semen even without an orgasm. Women can usually sense this kind of weakness and will stay away. This will lead you to more of self-gratification and making the situation worse. So if you have to get your fix, the least you can do is, do it with a real woman or don’t do it at all. If you are addicted, abstain and it will pay dividends. You will definitely become more desirable and soon you will get the real thing. But this is not your goal.

Once you have found a mate, the next step is to try and develop a real relationship with her in bed and out. Don’t treat a woman like a piece of meat. Try to bond with her, listen to what she wants and be more sensitive. The worst you can treat a woman is to fuck her in 15 minutes, you’ve got your fix so you roll over and smoke a cigarette or worse yet simply go to sleep, leaving the poor woman to try to please herself, the best she can. If she is your wife or girlfriend, don’t be surprised if you find her in bed with another man who can satisfy her better. Worse still, you become the father of someone else’s child and you don’t even know it.

Women need emotional and physical gratification. A man’s sexual gratification comes from the top one inch of his penis, but a woman need to have sex with every inch of her body. So next time you are in bed with a woman try new things, innovate, and keep her ahead of your own “fix”.


I do have a lot more to say but more of it in another post………

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – CFS and homeopathy part 2

Homeopathy can be a big help in living with chronic fatigue. There are usually many secondary symptoms of chronic fatigue. What I have experienced at different points of time in the last 20 years, are the following:

Anorexia

Heart palpitations

Nervousness

Fear - indefinable

Low-grade fever

Anxiety

Headache

Hot scalp

Heat from the eyes

Sore throat

Visual blurring

Dim vision

Nausea

Dizziness

Dry eyes

Dry mouth

Bad taste

Extreme hunger

Cough

Tough phlegm

Toothache

Back pain

Pain in the heel

Body pain

Weak legs

Lack of will power

Over estimation of one’s physical ability

For most of these problems there is no real solution in Allopathic treatment. One may be able to take pain killers for toothache and headache and some temporary medication for a few other issues. However, such medication, in the long run will only add to your problems, because of side-affects. Homeopathic treatment however, provides a good alternative. I have used it and can say with confidence, that I am alive today because of it.

Unlike Allopathic treatment which treats the disease, Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. What this means is that when selecting a medicine (called remedy) in Homeopathy we need to take into consideration the personality of the patient, mental symptoms, total symptoms other than the main issue at hand and a lot more. So if I am looking for a remedy for headache, I may need to consider, what time of the day I usually have it, the exact location, the type of pain, whether it is more under any specific conditions.

Initially the most striking problem I used to face was anorexia. This made me feel that my tiredness was because of lack of proper food intake. I used Nux Vomica 30c, Ferrum metallicum 30c, calcarea carbonica 30c, and a few other remedies. It took me nearly 10 years to get rid of anorexia. I was also a smoker. During this period I also gave up smoking. I also completely gave up consuming alcohol in any form. For heart palpitations and nervousness I used Passiflora mother tincture. Other remedies I used during this period were over one hundred. Most of them are listed here:

All were used in 30c potency unless mentioned otherwise. Aconite 30c and 200c, Actea Racemosa (Cimicifuga), Anacardium, Argentum Metallicum, Arnica Montana, Arsnicum Album 30c and 200c, Asarum, Aurum Metallicum, Avena Sative Θ (mother tincture), Baryta Carb., Belladonna, Bismuth, Bryonia, Buforana, Cactus, Calcarea Carb., Calcarea Phos., Capsicum, Carbo Animalis, Carbo Veg., Carduus Marianus,  Carduus Marianus Θ (mother tincture), Causticum, Ceonathus Americanus Θ (mother tincture),  Ceonathus Americanus, Chamomilla, Chelidonium Majus, China Officinalis, Coffea Cruda, Conium Maculatum, Copiva, Digitalis, Drosera 30c and 200c, Dulcamara, Euphrasia, Ferrum Metallicum, Ferrum Phos, Fluric Acid, Gelsemium, Hepar Sulphuris, Ignatia, Ipecacuanha, Iris Versicolor, Kali Carbonicum, Kali Iodatum, Kali Phosphoricum 3x, Ledum, Lycopodium, Mezereum, Myrica Cerifera, Natrum Mur. 3x and 30c, Natrum Phos. 3x, Natrum Sulph. 3x, Nux Moschata, Nux Vomica, Passiflora Θ (mother tincture), Phosphoric Acid 30c and 200c, Phosphorus, Physostigma, Picric Acid, Plantigo Major, Plantigo Major Θ (mother tincture), Platinum, Plumbum Metallicum, Psorinum, Pulsatilla, Rhus Tox, Rumex, Sabadilla, Secale Cornutum, Selenium, Sepia, Silicea, Spigelia, Stannum, Staphisagria, Stramonium, Tabacum, Thuja Occidentalis, Thyroidinum 3x and 30c, Tuberculinum 1000c (1m), Veratrum Viride Θ (mother tincture), Zincum Metallicum.

*This is not a symptoms guide but my personal experience with homeopathic medication over the years.

A you can see above that the advantage of using Homeopathic treatment is that one does not need to know what the disease is, but simply analyse the symptoms at any given point of time and select a remedy according. If you are a person with common sense and a slight analytical mind you will be able to develop the skill to select the correct remedy.

I personally have not only treated myself but also my mother who has many issues including arthritis. At one point she had peptic ulcers which have been completely cured by the use of Bismuth 30c. At another time she was vomiting day and night and arsnicum 30c was used to treat her. For combating joint pains I gave her arnica, causticum, Rumex, and Rhus Tox, at different times depending on symptoms. Recently my maid who is expecting, could not eat for days and was throwing up anything she ate, Tabacum 30c is helping her.  She is 2 months into her pregnancy and has started coming to work once again.
 
Coming back to the subject of Chronic Fatigue, I have found some very peculate things that happen. My energy levels go up often when the sky is clear and there is no reason for it to rain, but in a few hours it rains. Usually my energy levels are up on Sundays and often other holidays. Also, I found that acupressure helps. If I press the Pancreas point, which is about one inch below the little figure for about 1 to 2 minutes in the morning, my energy levels remain higher. Massaging the navel, by placing all the fingers in the cavity and rotating 40 times clockwise and 40 times anticlockwise also helps. Massaging the penis with oil also helps. It is a massage not masturbation. Although the movements are the same it is important not to ejaculate. Loss of this vital fluid can be counter-productive.

There is a small forest like area near my house. Whenever, I can I go for a 1 to 2 hour walk in that forest and my energy levels remain higher through the day. Whenever I do not exercise my energy levels drop. So, I try to do 2 hours of yoga every day.  
yurveda believes in something called the “Dharan”. This is a pulse you will find at the centre of the navel, if you lie down flat on your back and place three fingers and press gently down. If you find this has shifted left, right, up, or down, you may face complex medical issues.  In my case it remains slightly to the left. There are some exercises that can bring the “Dharan” back to the centre. Whenever my “Dharan” is in the centre my energy levels are higher.

Two exercises for centring the “Dharan” are: One lie down on your back and lift both legs about 12 inches. Hold up with your breath held in for as long as you can. Repeat as long as the “Dharan does not return to the centre. Second, lie on your back hold your foot and try to touch your nose to the thumb of your foot. Repeat with the other foot. Now hold both feet and try to bring them as close to the nose as possible. Check the “Dharan” and repeat as long as needed.

Role of exercise in chronic fatigue: It is important to exercise in chronic fatigue, as it is in any other disease. However, it is important to find a balance. People suffering from CFS often overestimate their physical ability. Thus, they over exert themselves and then go under for days altogether. I have done so in the past, and still make the mistake sometimes.

CFS – a result of vaccination: There is a lot talked about in Homeopathic texts about the bad effects of vaccination on some individuals. Modern scientists may believe that vaccination is the best way to save people from disease. However, there are many long term problems that can develop in many subjects, and they may suffer for the rest of their lives. There is no scientific proof that ties vaccination with any medical condition in general, but there may be a possibility that conditions like Chronic Fatigue are the result of vaccination.
 
However the biggest issue faced by a patient of chronic fatigue is inability to work a proper job and have a career. Thus lack of income, combined with lack of understanding by people around you are the biggest challenges you will face. Even your doctor usually will not understand the problem let alone diagnose it properly or guide you.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – CFS Part 1


Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS is a disease affecting millions around the world. Most cases of CFS are generally misdiagnosed, especially in countries like India. Most symptoms of CFS are also symptoms of Depression and Hypothyroid. However, there are some differences between the three, and it takes skill to diagnose CFS. One significant difference between depression and Chronic Fatigue is that a person suffering from depression usually feels better and more energetic if she starts to or is forced to go on a regular exercise routine. There are medicines which can treat Depression and Hypothyroid, but nothing for CFS. In Hypothyroid also simple hormone replacement therapy works well. In CFS this is not the case. Modern Medical science does not yet understand the cause of the disease, but whatever it may be, there is some physiological problem underlying the disease. I have been suffering from CFS for the past over 20 years. It was triggered after an acute attack of Tuberculosis of the lungs. I took full treatment and have recovered fully. However, there is something not definable by medical science which is still having a lingering affect. There is absolutely nothing that modern medical science can detect in any sort of examination or tests. However, my day to day functioning gets affected from time to time.


Usually my energy levels are the big concern. Such that I have an energy-dip from 9am to 3pm every day. At other times of the day or night my levels of energy are absolutely normal. I exercise two hours in the morning and function quiet normally for the rest of the day. In addition to the daily dip I sometimes get into a situation, such that simple things like shaving, taking a bath or just going out for a walk become extremely difficulty. It has taken me nearly 20 years to figure this pattern out. So my advice to anyone suffering from CFS or even suspect misdiagnosed depression is that you try to figure out your own energy pattern. Also, do not except people around you, friends and family especially, to understand what you are going through. Most of them will give you all sort of advice and will have no regard for your explanations or point of view, especially because very often even you will not be sure what is going on. It sure is difficult for anyone to understand that suddenly and for no reason you do not have the energy to do the most simple of things. If you have CSF you are alone and will have to fight it out on your own and probably for the rest of your life. However, like me, if you are able to figure it out, you will be psychologically better off, because you know what you are fighting, and also that you are not alone.
 
Your troubles however, do not end just by figuring out the problem. The big challenge is to design your professional and personal life around it.

Women don’t want to F**K, they want to make love



For a man f**king someone or making love is nearly the same thing. When I say “F**K” I mean being rough, quick and unconcerned with the other person’s feelings. A man can make love or fuck a complete stranger in half an hour and be on his way home to his wife. However, for a woman the act of love making is much more intimate and complex. So if you care for a woman please, be sensitive to her feelings and body. Never rush things and don’t go for the clitoris straight away. Take your time in foreplay and be considerate to her responses. I am not saying do not be strong, woman love a tough man, but don’t be clumsy and hurried. Most of us men want to take of our clothes get on top of a woman get inside come to orgasm get-of and smoke a cigarette. This is good sex for a lot of men. Being totally inconsiderate and selfish about the act, and it needs to work for both equally. For us there is not much difference between using a doll, a hand or a woman as long as we can climax. For women the penis is not a tool but a shared resource. The character of the penis matter to women more than anything else. Therefore, most women will not use plastic dummies or other toys. Women need the real thing preferably one that has character and style to her liking. It is not so much the size that matters to a woman but what the man does with it that is the key to her satisfaction. So next time you make love share the penis with your partner as a mutual resource. Encourage her to speak her mind and be aware of her responses. If you can learn to be sensitive to a woman’s feelings in bed she will never leave you. She may even overlook your oddities out of bed. So try it…..
