I have what the women I date call “large” testicles. About two years ago, I saw a doctor and he had my testosterone levels tested. I have very high testosterone. He prescribed something to lower it to a more normal level, but the medication made me sick.

If you must know the rest of my “tackle” is average. Also I do not have children. I do not like children all that much.

1. I am very tall, and strong.
2. I have a very deep voice.
3. I am 43, but everyone thinks I am in my early 30’s.
4. My girlfriend says I sweat out pheromones that make her crazy (in a good way).
5. High sex drive.
6. Mood swings, and aggressiveness (Not violent).
7. Abnormally fast hair growth (everyplace).
8. Crazy swings in weight.
9. Top number on my blood pressure is always high, but bottom number is normal.
10. Ringing in the ears.
11. Huge appetite.
12. I frequently injure myself in the testicles (during sports) because they are in the way.

Do you have these problems? What others? What did you do? Natural cures are good!

Due to my crappy insurance I can not see a doctor until January.

I have the same problem. I do not know if I have high testosterone.

True I look very young for my age. I think that is because I have no children.

I do not have any negative effects. I do not have ringing in the ears. Did you not say in another question you are in the military? Maybe that is why you have ringing in the ears.

A 70 year elderly male is not able to breathe properly and he is coughing and severe cold and he is not able to take his food properly and he is having high blood pressure but no sugar . Kindly advice what will be problem and what is the solution for this problem in detail. Is it a cause of worry or it is an ordinary problem which can be cured. The ECG is normal but at times it is erratic.

Do you mean "Pericardial effusion"?
Pericardial effusion (per-ih-KAHR-de-uhl e-FYU-zhun) is the accumulation of excess fluid around the heart.
The heart is surrounded by a double-layered, sac-like structure called the pericardium. The space between the layers normally contains a very small amount of fluid.
Pericardial effusion is often related to inflammation of the pericardium due to disease or injury, but pericardial effusion can occur when there is no inflammation. Pericardial effusion can also result from the accumulation of blood after a surgical procedure or injury.
When the volume of fluid exceeds the pericardium’s "full" level, pericardial effusion puts pressure on the heart, causing poor heart function. If left untreated, pericardial effusion can cause heart failure or death.
Consult a cardiologist.

Anyone and I mean anyone who is suffering from an anxiety disorder will just about do anything to make it stop and stop now. Unfortunately there is no magic anti-anxiety potion or pill that will accomplish the immediate relief that you are seeking. Treating anxiety disorders takes time and frequently a lot of work. Do not give up hope as there are effective tools that can reduce the symptoms of fear, anxiety and constant tension.

Frequently, an anxiety disorder, such as social anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and social phobias respond well to psychotherapy, support groups, cognitive therapy and other psychological treatments. However these approaches take time. In addition individuals with severe symptoms need to reduce their symptoms before they can effectively be treated using these methods. This frequently requires the use of anti-anxiety and/or anti-depression medications.

For many people that thought of taking a drug or medication to alter your mental state can be disconcerting if not downright frightening. Of course the best way to receive the right medicine that is designed to specifically deal with your symptoms is to talk to your physician and mental health professional. They will discuss the different medicines that are available how they work and any possible side effects. Frequently changes in medications are required to achieve the desired results.

Ok so what kind of anti-anxiety or anxiolytic medicines are available and how do they work. Basically they work to relax and calm the patient, but they do it in different ways. As with all medicines there are potential side effects. A number of medications that were originally approved to treat depression can also help with anxiety disorders. You may not see the results right away and it may take several weeks for symptoms to fade. So do not get discouraged and more importantly do not stop taking your medications until told to do so by your physician.

A new group of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs are very effective in treating depression and anxiety disorders. They basically work by maintaining higher levels of serotonin. Serotonin is a natural chemical in the brain that basically makes you feel good and at ease. The best thing about SSRIs is that they have fewer side effects than other anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications. Many people will feel a little more jumpy or nauseated when they initially take the medication. These side effects will subside within a week or two. In all cases you should you should discuss any side effects with your doctor.

Paxel, Citalopram, Fluoxetine and Fluvoxamine are common SSRIs that your doctor may use to control your symptoms. Again whenever you take any anti depressant or anti-anxiety medications you must take them continuously for up to 60 days to receive maximum benefit from the medicine.

Benzodiazepines including Chlordiazepoxide and diazepam (Valium) are frequently used to treat anxiety and are especially effective in treating cases of moderate anxiety. These medications are addictive and should only be taken for short periods. They can occasionally cause problems with hand eye coordination and concentration. Additional medicines in this group include Alprazolam (Xanax) and Lorazepam (Ativan). Withdrawal symptoms can be tough when this medicine is discontinued.

Buspirone is another effective anti-anxiety medication that has somewhat different side effects than the benzodiazepines. This anxiolytic has almost no risk of addiction and greatly reduced hand eye coordination problems. As with many depressants it can cause stomach problems and jumpy feelings when first taken. Again these initial side effects will diminish over time.

Recently many doctors have prescribed beta-blockers for anxiety disorders. They are commonly used to control blood pressure. For people with anxiety disorders they are used to control physical symptoms. Basically these are taken prior to entering a high stress environment. They reduce the amount of heart pounding, tinnitus, sweating and shaking that normally accompany an anxiety attack.

Recent findings have highlighted the increased risk of using anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication in teenagers and young adults. In all cases your doctor will closely monitor you when you begin to take any medication. If you have any suicidal thoughts or if your symptoms worsen immediately contact your physician. Failure to do so may lead to dire consequences.

No matter what medication your doctor prescribes you will still need to work with your mental health professional to address the root cause of you anxiety disorder. Anti-anxiety medications will assist you in this process by reducing your symptoms. There is no instant cure for anxiety disorders but there are effective tools to reduce your symptoms. These medications need to be taken according to prescription and you need to continue your regime of counseling therapy until the causes of your disorder are discovered and overcome. It is a tough job but you can do it if you just hang in there.

Goji berries or technically Lycium barbarum (Latin) has always been considered a miracle product. There are many legends built around Goji berries and even festivals are held in its honor. And if that is not enough even a renowned Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty (772-842 AD) wrote a poem dedicated to its benefits. There is a legend around it. It was during the Tang Dynasty that something queer happened.

A famous Buddhist temple had a well dug near its wall. The wall was covered with Goji vines and Goji berries used to fall into the well for years. What was surprising was that monks living in the temple always remained in good health and even in old age no one had a single white hair and most had not lost a single tooth. Why was that so? Well, because they drank water from the well.

Himalayans were perhaps the first natural healers of the world and they propagated their knowledge to herbalists of China, India and Tibet. And what was their one cure all secret? Well, it was Goji berries that were the native of Himalayas. And when people came to the Himalayan valleys and came to know about the effectiveness of Goji berries, they took the vines to their homes and planted it there. That is how the knowledge about Goji berries spread.

The importance of Goji berries for people of Central Asia could be gauged from the fact that they celebrate for two week every year in honor of Goji berries. Scientists found out four primary bioactive polysaccharides in Lycium barbarum. These were known as Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). These unique compounds actually manage most of the biochemical defense systems of our body.

And the knowledge that Goji berries are not limited to herbalists only. Major universities have undertaken research on Goji berries and they have actually come to the same conclusion. There have been over fifty studies related to Goji berries and have been published in almost all the better reputed health journals.

Some of these journals include: International Immunopharmacology, Journal of Ethano pharmacology, British Journal of Nutrition, China Pharmacology and Toxicology, Journal of Chinese Herbal Medicine, Chinese Herb News Magazine Research Communications Molecular Pathology and Pharmacology Chinese Patent Herbs, Nature Reviews Drugs, Chinese Herbs, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery Chinese Oncology Magazine, Physiology Academic Journal Chinese Stomatology, Hygiene Research and a whole lot more.

You can find a lot more about Goji berries in the book “Goji: The Himalayan Health Secret” written by Dr. Mindell. He writes in the book that there are many longest living people in the world who have been consuming this red fruit on a daily basis. Goji berry is no doubt the most effective anti-aging food in the world. What is more it is perhaps the most nutritionally dense food present.

Some of the major nutrients found in Goji juice are the glyconutrients and the phytonutrients. Glyconutrients provide the body with eight essential sugars that are necessary for human growth while the twenty two phytonutrients help in intercellular communication.

Let us have a look at some of the benefits of Goji juice.

Boosts your immune system to fight diseases
Powerful antioxidant helping in fighting premature ageing.

Positively affect vision and cardiac functions and also works wonders for headaches and insomnia.
Sexual health and fertility is improved

Let us have a look at the composition of Goji berry to understand why it is so beneficial.

Germanium, which is not found in any other fruit
Carotenoids like beta carotene and vitamin C
Four important polysaccharides named LBP1, LBP2, LBP3 and LBP4. These are the key for good health.
19 amino acids that also includes the eight most essential amino acids. Also contains about twenty one minerals in traces including copper, selenium, zinc, phosphorus and others.
Zeaxanthin which is very beneficial for the eyes, B-complex and fatty acids.

Well, you can cure your blood pressure in 3 minutes. This is not a literal promise. I have helped many high blood pressure patients in the past to achieve this. You can also be benefited. That too, without the use of a single medicine or a pill!

Here is a list of some of the tangible things to cure your blood pressure in 3 minutes, without invasive treatment and drugs:

Breathing Techniques:

Revert to the breathing techniques again, this time with a new medical mechanism. The procedure stands the clinical tests to lower high blood pressure. This technique works on the pattern of “Anuloma Viloma Pranayama” the breathing exercises mentioned in Yoga.

According to the researchers the blood pressure reducing device named RESPe RATE contains a microprocessor. This creates special melodies that vary from individual to individual, depending upon the condition of the patient. One tone is for exhalation and the other one for inhalation. It becomes possible for the patient to synchronize the breathing rate to about 10 breaths per minute.

Music Therapy

Now comes the listening experience to cure high blood pressure in 3 minutes. Just listen to the special type of music. Listen to the top musicians playing the special music through Media Positive Radio. Such music therapy focuses on some special power that works effectively on high blood pressure. A study conducted in a New York hospital shows the practical beneficial effects of this type of cure. It just took 3 minutes, without any medication, vitamins or pills to get the desired result.

Cutting arterial plaque

Another quick breakthrough for high blood pressure is achieved by cutting arterial plaque. Herein a quick reduction up to 60 points was noted in the blood pressure level. And the blood cholesterol level fell by as much as 20%. The wonder of this treatment is that there is no danger of blood clots and no prescription medication is involved. This result was also achieved in 3 minutes.

Now, you may wonder if the control of high blood pressure is that simple why the drug companies all over the world are busy with their expansion plans and research plans in a big way.

Jokes apart, high blood pressure is a silent killer and it attacks you without forewarning. Its symptoms are difficult to diagnose in advance. Often it seems that there are no symptoms. This is the peculiar nature of the disease. Hence the search for instant 3 minutes remedies can not be brushed aside.

High blood pressure is a malady that is associated with several complications. In some cases hypertension nurtures complications or diseases while in others it is a by product of various complications and physical states of humans.

A woman on family way has been often found afflicted with high blood pressure. The cause of this hypertension is also debatable like other types of hypertensions. Well, there could be two or three possible reasons of it. Wherein, the most prominent one is preeclampsia.

In case of this pregnancy induced hypertension, initially you witness a surge in systolic BP by thirty mm and diastolic BP by twenty mm. Presence of protein contents in urine confirms this type of hypertension.

It is just because of this preeclampsia resulted hypertension a pregnant is constantly required to keep track of blood pressure. This blood pressure complication usually arises in mid pregnancy. Women who have conceived for the first time are very much susceptible to preeclampsia. Pregnancy in late thirties or forties may also be a cause of such high blood pressure.

Among most pregnant women this preeclampsia propelled surge in BP is witnessed after six or seven months of pregnancy. This high blood pressure usually prevails till the delivery. Once the child is borne the hypertension lowers down and vanishes within few days. If a woman suffers a greater surge in blood pressure in her later stage of pregnancy, cesarean delivery before the scheduled date of delivery remains the only option. For, only the delivery would result in normalcy of blood pressure.

Although a less severe case of preeclampsia is difficult to be identified, a reasonably higher level of preeclampsia hypertension could be identified with constant headache, frequent vomiting, dizziness and blurring of vision.

A pregnant woman must be informed of various symptoms of this hypertension so that she could take immediate action once she finds herself with these symptoms.

This hypertension originates probably due to placental disorder. It is said that placental blood vessels constricts to result in hypertension. Women may also suffer from this complication due to less than required intake of various vitamins and nutrients that are essential during pregnancy. Some hormonal disorders may also contribute to this hypertension.

All in all, I would suggest all pregnant women to take preventive measures for preeclampsia as it adds to the ordeal of being pregnant.

I haven’t heard of any disease being cured lately. In fact I can’t see what incentive the drug companies have to find a cure. In fact they seem to be inventing diseases to sale more drugs.
The side effects on drugs seem worse then what they are treating. I lost my sense of smell to a high blood pressure drug.
The DEA approves these drugs even though they kill and injure millions of people ever year.
What have the drug companies done to earn the right to be the only ones able to provide solutions to our health care problem?

it is pretty hard to cure something. the human body is complex. the FDA approves drugs though. the drug companies havent earned any right to provide solutions to the health care problem. you are free to.
