Nasutra, Neophase and Other “Herbal Impotence Pills” Not All Natural?

In breaking and significant news in the herbal impotence and male sexual enhancement arena, the FDA has now issued warnings to consumers not to purchase several “herbal male enhancement” pills that are specifically geared toward impotence and lasting longer in bed.  They said the reason is that chemical lab tests showed the pills, which were supposed to be 100% herbal and natural contained sildenafil, which is Viagra. 

This could be a potential health hazard to men with heart conditions who are taking these supplements that believe they are taking an all herbal male enhancement pill, which actually illegally contains a prescription impotence drug (Viagra).

Not only that, it’s blatantly illegal, and the companies are falsely marketing them as an all natural solution to impotence and premature ejaculation. 

What are the products the FDA is warning against besides the more well known and highly radio advertised Nasutra?  Here they are:

    1. Libidus 
    2. Neophase
    3. Nasutra
    4. Vigor-25
    5. Actra-Rx
    6. 4Everon.

According to the FDA report, chemical analysis of these 6 impotence pills which are marketed as all natural herbal alternatives to the likes of Viagra and other popular impotence and premature ejaculation treatment drugs clearly showed that they contain either chemical ingredients that are similar to sildenafil or another impotence / male enhancement drug called vardenafil.

Vardenafil is the active ingredient in another common impotence sexual enhancement drug called Levitra.

Stem Cells Helping Infertility in Men?

In a new breakthrough in stem cell research, and another reason stem cell research advocates should be badgering Bush to let up on the governmental thumb, researchers have been able to produce baby mice by using sperm grown in laboratory “petrie dishes” if you will, from the controversial embryonic stem cells. This most likely means that the same logic will go for humans, so the findings may be a great stride in treating male infertility.

The scientists harvested the embryos from which the stem cells came from very early term mouse embryos, and helped them through various developmental stages until they resembled sperm cells, or “gametes” is the medical term.

The sperm that was formed was then implanted into female mouse eggs, which were then implanted into a female mouse uterus. 7 total offspring resulted, and 6 of those offspring made it to adulthood as normal mice.

Why stem cells, and how do they “become” sperm?

Stem cells are actually what have been dubbed the “master of all cells” in the body that can morph into other cell types. This is why stem cell research is so priceless. The implications extend far beyond fertility, and into paralysis research, since one day we may be able to regrow precious nerve cells for people who’ve had damaged nerves. The debate is really somewhat of a religious one, since some view destroying early stage stem cells as a form of “murder”, or messing with God’s creation.
