New, Natural ED Treatment
There is a new natural therapy for erectile dysfunction.
That comes as a big surprise to most patients who suffer from ED — because they’ve been told again and again their only solution is a Big Pharma booster like Viagra, or that they should just accept their condition as a part of aging.
Common ED Beliefs
ED has become so common, it’s the accepted norm in men of “a certain age.” It now affects 30 million men in America.

3 of My Favorite Natural Sex Boosters
Let’s talk about the “S” word. New research shows that sex can help keep your mind sharp as tack as you grow older — and I’m not surprised.

Researchers in the U.K. recently tested more than 6,800 people between the ages of 50 and 89. Those with active sex lives scored an amazing 23% higher on cognitive word tests than those with inactive sex lives.1

Rare Mineral That Naturally Raises Testosterone Levels
Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I use a few inexpensive, natural ways to safely and effectively raise my patients’ testosterone levels.
I’ve found one of the best solutions is an overlooked micronutrient you’ll never hear about from mainstream medicine.
I’m talking about the rare mineral, boron.
Boron arrived on our planet billions of years ago via cosmic dust and meteor fragments. On Earth, it exists only in compound form. Pure boron has been found only in meteorites. But this element is utterly essential to your health.
In the past, your ancestors got nutritional boron through their diet. Bu...

Revascularization before exercise program improves walking for patients with PAD
Among patients with peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication (cramping pain in the legs due to poor circulation in the arteries, aggravated by walking), a combination therapy of endovascular revascularization (an invasive procedure to improve blood flow in an artery) followed by supervised exercise resulted in greater improvement in walking distances and health-related quality-of-life measures at one year compared with supervised exercise only, according to a new study.
