ED, Only 74% recovery after treatment?

Post by jskinner » Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:41 pm

'Erectile dysfunction (ED) in cases of obstructive sleep apnea is associated with oxygen deprivation and can be reversed through adherence to standard oxygen levels and medication, according to a study in the journal American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The study examined mice exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia, or oxygen deprivation, during sleep and found sexual activity in the mice was suppressed after deprivation. However, six weeks' recovery time with standard oxygen levels resulted in 74 percent recovery and treatment with tadalafil — a drug known widely as Cialis that is used to treat erectile dysfunction — improved erectile and sexual functioning to near-normal levels.'

So I must be missing something... ?

I would have thought 74% was not bad, but then I read that you STILL need to take Cialis... ? what's up with that

( I have to admit I did not read the full article, so maybe I should...)

I believe Rooster had concerns over the grad students quantifying the lab observations for these mice.

I'm not sure if my treatment has resulted in 74% or 150% .... but is is defnitiely much more better!

Rooster can PM me if he finds some female grad students willing to quantify the results of my treatment
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Glad to oblige, DS. Here is the first one I am sending to you. This is a photograph from this morning showing her taking measurements in the lab.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

Are you sure that's not a taxidermist? I could swear I've seen those mounted above the fireplace up at the hunting lodge. Just look at that rack...

Are you sure she is old enough to be a grad student?

Perhaps she performs post-junior-high "grad work" by day while moonlighting for Bob Evans as an evening taxidermist...

Yes! That must be it! That theory nicely ties everything together, indeed.

1) James, since you're posting about ED, I withdraw my marriage proposal. (Kidding!!!)

2) New Beau, being 43 and all, has typical middle-aged guy issues. Nothing I'd recommend Viagra or Cialis for, but, well, you know. Anyway, you think if I insist he go on the hose ANYWAY it might help him perform like a porn star more than 50% of the time? Right now he's at 50% Porn Star/50% Middle Aged Guy. I'd take 74% Porn Star...

I do have that extra Remstar tank I picked up for being a nice person to the guy who found it for $20 at the Goodwill....

LOL,
Babs
