Genital herpes treatment does not prevent HIV (Reuters)

Reuters - Long-term treatment of genital herpes with the drug acyclovir does not reduce the rate of new HIV infections, researchers reported at the International AIDS Conference here last week.

I am sick and tired of opening my email only to find another fifteen to eighteen offers for "cheap Viagra". Can the market possibly be anymore saturated with this stuff? I'll bet even people in remote areas like the Amazon, or the Gobi Desert has a couple of these pills.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a certain side effect produced here, but just how many of these things can one person take without natural lcarnitine to pay the Piper? Remember about ten short years ago how "cool" and "underground" the word Viagra was? That over in Japan they were willing to pay a $1,000. just to obtain one tab?

Well I thought this would be a good time to remind all you guys, and girls, out there about LArginine. I mean, why continue with something that will coenzyme q10 mess with your heart, your vision, and god knows what else over time? Now I have taken my share of these things, but some people out there are using PEZ dispensers. After thirty years in the gym, I learned a few tricks about supplements, and I say LArginine is worth a try.

Biology 101, Dilation of blood vessels necessary for a normal erection depends on a substance called nitric oxide, and nitric oxide formation depends on the amino acid Arginine. LArginine is found in meat, dairy, poultry and fish. It's also widely available in a supplement form at any local natural co-enzyme q10 store. It is far less expensive, has little to no "negative" side effects, and works for both women and men. Yes ladies, I have personally heard this from a number of women in the fitness industry who were taking LArginine.

This powerful amino acid helps build muscle mass, enhance immune function, improve blood pressure, increase memory, and speed wound healing. LArginine is also known to stimulate the release of growth hormone and increase protein synthesis. Who wouldn't want the side effects of burning fat and increasing muscle?

I first tried it in the mid-eighties. Us guys in the gym were using it for increased circulation; we thought it might lead to a better pump and bring out our veins a bit more. I started with about one gram a day and upped it to between two-three grams a day when I thought it wasn't doing much for me. It was at two-three grams a day when I noticed a strange thing; I couldn't walk upright without serious embarrassment.

Now granted I was around twenty two years old and was full of vinegar already. But I have never experienced anything like that before. I have since used it off and on through the years and react favorably each time I get the dose up to around two grams.

So I'm here to tell you that L-Arginine is a great supplement for anyone who wants to increase his or her sexual arousal, and improve their overall health. The huge advantage this natural and safe supplement has over Viagra is that men and women can take it, it's considerably less expensive (Viagra costs as much as $10 a pill!), and it's been proven to work, with little or no negative side effects.
