“Shocking” truth about NEW ED treatment?! [Guys]
Guys, if you suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), you already know that talking to someone about a ‘solution’ is often more embarrassing than living with the problem!
Sure, those ads on TV make it seem like prescription-grade ‘fixes’ are the best way to go… and that your love life will be instantly restored. But those often come with a boatload of side effects that no guy would ever want!
But many guys are so desperate, they end up looking to alternative therapies for ED.
I’m the first one to tell you that seeking alternative treatments for any condition can be beneficial—if they are proven safe and effective!
Unfortunately, men are starting to flock to a ‘shocking’ ED treatment that looks good on the surface…
But scientists are sounding the alarm and urging guys to steer clear.
Shockwave therapy—a treatment that uses soundwaves to enhance blood flow—is becoming more popular for men with ED.
It doesn’t require the use of a pill, which makes it appealing. But even scientists at UCLA say there’s more to this treatment than meets the eye.
To start, shockwave therapy is primarily performed by NON-urologists—which makes ZERO sense!
At that rate, you might as well get a heart test done by a podiatrist!
Secondly, the American Urology Association classifies the therapy as ‘investigative,’ and recommends that more research be conducted.
In other words, there is A LOT more that needs to be done before the masses start flocking to shockwave therapy.
But, even if you have ED, it doesn’t mean you are stuck fighting the problem with a prescription.
Consider looking at a maca supplement, instead.
The maca plant, known scientifically as Lepidium meyenii (and sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng), grows high in the Andes Mountains of central Peru and has long been considered a natural ‘aphrodisiac.’
One study found that taking 1,200 mg of maca twice per day REDUCED erectile dysfunction in men after just 12 WEEKS!
If you have ED—or are currently on medications for it—be sure to talk to you doctor about maca before supplementation.
In Your Corner,
