I know four men who have had prostate surgery just this year; several who have diabetes; some who take anti-depressants—all which may lead to impotence, also called Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Once prostate cancer survivor told me he and his friends call each other just to laugh, as that’s the most effective form of therapy. The problem of impotence must be very difficult for a man to handle. A friend, who is doing research for her spouse, suggested the web site www.muserx.net (for a penile suppository) [note: this is not an endorsement: I am not a physician and a physician should be consulted]. However, the site has a phone number for prostate cancer survivors (see FAQs #27), which seems a nice service to offer as ED is sometimes difficult to converse about, and the anonymity of a phone call could minimize the embarrassment and open up the patient to continuing discussion even after that web visit.

Human joints are similar to metal joints in that they require lubrication. The body produces natural oil called hyaluronan. Increasing the natural oil decreases wear and tear from impact, running injuries, and arthritis. This was written by Stone Clinic (www.StoneClinic.com) who created Joint Juice and who are great with knees, their specialty.
Lube Your Joints With:
• Glucosamine: Glucosamine stimulates the production of hyaluronan, and it also increases the natural building blocks of the joint cartilage called glycosaminoglycans. These natural sugars absorb water and cushion the joint from impact.
