Cialis Basics

Filed under:Universe Of Gender Issues — posted on September 12, 2007 @ 10:02 am

Introduction
Sex has been the part of the life since the day Adam saw the apple. Man has been striving to achieve a better performance in order to satisfy both his as well his partner’s requirements. Age, hormonal imbalances, society, money and many other things have not been able to remain a barrier for long in this quest. Medicinal herbs, fruits and certain exercises such as meditation have helped him in one way or the other but there has always been a search to help men in his erectile dysfunction in nearly all cases with having minimum of the side effects. Viagra hit the market in 1998 and was an instant success in that regard. But due to its side effects more research was still needed and a new product was about to come. Cialis then came and with its minimum side effects profile and the greater half-life was what people needed the most.

What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the inability of the person to either initiate or sustain a penile erection for a sufficient period of time that is needed to attain a sexual gratification. The causes of it may be many for e.g. psychological, hormonal, arterial or muscular. The diseases associated with it are Diabetes Mellitus, Major Depression, certain thrombotic disorders, etc.

What is cialis?

Cialis and drugs related to it like Viagra act by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 which release Nitric Oxide from nerve endings and endothelium causing relaxation of smooth muscle and hence penile erection. This is a product developed by Eli Lilly and ICOS and it is a trade name of the product called Tadalafil launched in the market in 2003.

What are the advantages and side effects?
Although the vasodilatation that is needed is in penis, due to the extreme non-specificity of the product there are certain side effects related to vasodilatation at other sites such as headache, nasal congestion, stuffiness, and fall in blood pressure. Some patients complain of loose motions. These side effects are more applicable to products such as Viagra than to Cialis. Some patients have suffered heart attack and severe fall in blood pressure.

Who all can benefit?
Men with erectile dysfunction due to some arterial disorders will benefit the most. It doesn’t benefit those with hormonal problems or psychological problems except those with Diabetic neuropathy. There is a myth that a person as soon as taking the drug will have erection but that is not the case. It starts taking action only when a person starts physical activity.

How is cialis better than others?
Cialis has a half life of around 36 hours while that of Viagra is around 4 hours that means that a person can take the drug and can expect to have erection at a time much later than the time of administration. This achieves much patient compliance.

What is the latest research that is going on?
The latest research that is going on is hormonal therapy and genetic therapy in this regard. These are basically to avoid the side effect profile of these type of drugs.

Change Is a Skill Development Learning Process

Filed under:Product Stuff — posted on @ 4:52 am

Change, like almost every other life experience, is a learning process. With each new idea or situation comes the need to learn about it…what is it? How does it work? How do I fit in? What are the good and bad aspects of it? So let’s talk for a moment about the process of learning.
LEARNING is a lifelong process. It neither starts nor ends with formal schooling. In fact, school mostly teaches us how to learn. Experience teaches us what we need to know, but it’s up to us to go out there and get the knowledge and the information. Change is a learning experience (if you let it be). So here are the four skills you’ll need and some questions for you to answer.

STUDYING AND DEVELOPING NEW TECHNICAL AND HUMAN SKILLS

- Do you hold back until you are forced to learn, or do you reach out for the information you need or want?

- Would additional study, perhaps formal courses at a college or junior college or adult education program, help in this situation?

SEEK OUT LEARNERS – people who know more than you do…or are learning

- Do you seek out the advice of people who have already been through the learning process, asking how they did it?

- Are you open to seeking out a mentor…or two…or three?

PUSH YOURSELF

- Do you recognize that you may be trapped in old ways? Can you tell yourself there must be a better way? Remember the old saying, “If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got.”
LEARN TO ACT WITHOUT HAVING ALL THE INFORMATION IN HAND

- Do you believe in hunches? Can you risk enough to act even though you don’t necessarily (or can’t) have all the facts? You need to assess, at every stage of change, the wisdom of acting, even when it feels risky. The fact is, it is risky, but perhaps it’s more risky NOT to act than to act.
Reproduced below is a “Change Checklist.” In order to give yourself some insight into the level of stress you may have endured recently – and therefore to help you realize what need to change in your life, what process needs to be undertaken. There is a scoring key at the end of the exercise.

CHANGE CHECKLIST

Change comes in many forms — expected and predictable (which
you can plan for — and should), or unexpected (whoops!),
sudden (ouch!!), and unsettling (oh, oh!). Planned change
often doesn’t feel like “change,” because we know it’s coming
and it doesn’t seem to hurt like the other kind.

Then there’s “sea change” — overwhelming change that
envelops us — such as economic or political change, social
change (like the Los Angeles Riots), or natural changes
such as fires, floods, tornadoes, snowstorms, earthquakes.
We need to recognize that change of all sorts affects us —
even when we’re not aware of it. What’s more, change is a way
of life today, and the degree and rapidity of change —
societal, environmental, political, social and personal —
is increasing. For an in-depth look at this phenomenon, read
The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler.

But for the moment, read the list below and check off any
change that you’ve gone through in the last year.

Doug Hepburn 1953 World Championship Training

Filed under:Fitness Portal — posted on @ 4:51 am

For those who don’t know, Canadian born Doug Hepburn was one of the strongest men to grace our planet with only Paul Anderson being stronger at the time.

Hepburn burst on the Olympic Lifting scene in 1950 and would later defeat the legendary John Davis at the 1953 world championships - shattering records along the way. Those records would eventually be smashed by Anderson.

In his prime, Hepburn had lifted 760 pounds on the squat, 705 in the deadlift, 440 in the press and 580 in the bench. He was the first man to ever bench press over 500 pounds. More impressive is the fact that his lifts were before the age of steroids, bench suits and all the other crap that’s used today.

This is how Hepburn trained for the 1953 World Championship. I’ve eliminated his weight totals in case anyone reading this would want to follow. Use weights that you can handle.

Doug Hepburn’s Championship Routine

Monday

Cleans 10 x 2
Bench Press 1 x 5; 6 x 2
Squats 1 x 5; 6 x 3

Wednesday

Snatch 10 x 2
Bench Press 1 x 5; 6 x 2
Squats 1 x 5; 6 x 3

Friday

Press 10 x 2
Bench Press 1 x 5; 6 x 2
Squats 1 x 5; 6 x 3

Notes: Doug ate 4-5 meals a day and would try to get nine hours sleep a night. You don’t have to follow these guidelines, stick with what makes you feel comfortable. Hepburn used very heavy weights in his workouts and you should too. Always work with weights that are heavy for you and keep training hard and progressive.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program - hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

What Does Healing Childhood Experiences Mean?

Filed under:Better Psychology — posted on @ 3:14 am

The impact of unacknowledged and unresolved childhood emotional issues, physical and sexual abuse can last a lifetime, unless the survivor has completed a healing process. The impact includes mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, relational and sexual aspects of your life. Abuse affects the very core of our being, as well as:

• your self-worth, self-esteem and self-trust
• your ability to love yourself and others
• your ability to experience true intimacy

• your belief in your ability to manage your life

• your belief in our own power

• your belief in the validity of our personal values and perceptions

• how we are treated by those we are in relationship with

• how we treat our children

These and many other areas of your life are directly influenced by the recorded experiences of your early life as well as the interpretations (or misinterpretations) you have made of those experiences. In the healing process you will work directly with the emotions, traumas, relationships and sometimes distorted life perceptions associated with child abuse. You will complete a seven step process to determine the main limiting patterns, beliefs and traumas that are holding you back from having a happy life.

In the Healing process you will learn to:

• Identify and release negative beliefs and thought patterns that no longer serve you
• Free yourself from old self-perceptions that no longer serve you

• Create and maintain the positive intention to change your life

• Break the karmic patterns that negatively influence your life

• Let go of fear, anger and guilt

• Identify your boundary issues in relationships and change them

• Understand how early life perceptions and decisions influence your current life

• Understand how your past beliefs create your current reality

• Free yourself from the controlling influences of your unconscious mind

• Turn the seemingly meaningless events of abuse into opportunities for learning and growth

• Practice a variety of self-healing methods and meditations

• Communicate with your spirit guides

• Consciously move into the realm of your personal power

• Open your heart in relationships and trust your own inner guidance

• Map out a positive course for your life and your relationships

Traditional psychotherapy/psychoanalysis focuses on symptoms and better coping strategies and fails to address the all-important relationship to one’s true spiritual nature.

Traditional religious practice often bypasses -and thus fails to transform - the psychological conditional patterns and unconscious beliefs that arise from our personal histories and adaptations.

Both, in general, neglect the fact that we feel, sense, and experience global political mass consciousness, as well as our individual consciousness, like never before. A healing process addresses all three, therefore opening the door to true balance and transformation.
Well-being comes from the understanding of the Self and others. We are each one heart of the Whole; each heart here to express its unique piece of the Whole. Knowing Self creates a sense of “I as a piece of this Whole,” different and one at the same time.

The healing process is direct, focused, and combines healing the past while creating the future. You will make a subtle and effective transition to self-discovery and empowerment.
