A growing number of women suffering from premenstrual syndrome or PMS are seeking help from both conventional and alternative health practitioners. Studies show that women who opted for alternative therapies usually found them to be effective. As such, the medical community should be accustomed with the efficiency of innumerable evidence-based natural interventions.

A recently conducted survey indicates that 42% of women suffering from PMS take prescription or over-the-counter medications to mitigate their symptoms. In this group, about 80% were using OTC medication, mostly to control pain.

For years, traditional medicine had provided suggestive treatments for PMS that does not always work. Most doctors are unaware of the latest research on hormone balancing while others never had any training in PMS. Alleviating bloating with diuretics, headaches with painkillers, and anxiety with Valium only mask the underlying imbalance that cause PMS. A lot of these prescribed treatments often have side effects.

Although a safe and guaranteed cure for PMS is yet to be discovered, there is a number of lifestyle and alternative therapies that can reduce symptoms and possibly even improve your quality of life. On the other hand, psychotherapy can provide insight about stress. However, it sidesteps the nutritional and biochemical aspects of this disorder.

Exercise is the best self-care method that you can be employ in dealing with PMS symptoms. It does not necessarily mean a strenuous and sweaty afternoon at the gym- it may be something simple like walking regularly. On the average, regular exercise is considered to be done at least three to five times a week.

Adopting specific dietary modifications could also be beneficial in alleviating symptoms. Review your dietary needs and eliminate caffeine, sugar, alcohol, dairy, and excess soy. While you’re shunning "bad foods," it is important to get plenty of the "good" vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Try nurturing a diet of fresh, in-season, organic fruits and vegetables.

Aside from exercise and dietary measures, some alternative therapies might also be helpful. Reducing stress by trying several relaxation methods such as relaxation exercises, roll breathing, yoga, and massage therapy might proved to be advantageous.

Another widely used therapy for PMS includes bright light therapy. Some studies suggest that getting more natural or full-spectrum light on days when PMS symptoms are present may help reduce severity of symptoms.

There is emerging evidence that suggests PMS sufferers may reduce their dependence upon synthetic drugs by undergoing chiropractic or acupuncture treatments heightened. Several small clinical studies have verified that the combination of chiropractic manipulation and soft tissue therapy is an effective intervention in the management of various PMS symptoms, particularly with the relief of associated back pain, abdominal cramping and dysmenorrhea.

Though most of the therapies mentioned are not considered standard treatment for PMS, some of them might be helpful in relieving some symptoms. But most importantly, these treatments are safe and well-tolerated.

Cumming too fast?

October 3rd, 2007

Do you reach orgasm faster than you can say, "Fuck"? Many men dread this situation, and with good reason. Cumming too early or too fast robs you and your partner of the pleasure that sexual intercourse can give. This is believed to be the most common sexual complaint of couples. About 29 percent of men are reportedly bothered by these episodes.

There are many reasons why a man "cums" too fast. Biologically, men experience climax much earlier than women. They do so 2-3 minutes after penetration, in contrast to women who take their time (about 12-14 minutes). Likewise, there are also psychological factors that bring about early ejaculation. These include guilt, anxiety (lack of experience), or fear of sexually transmitted infections, potential pregnancy, etc. Older men are also known to be able to control their ejaculation as compared with their younger counterparts. They credit it to their experience.

So, how can you control yourself from ejaculating too quickly? One way is to exercise your PC (pubococcygeus) muscle, which is the primary "sexual muscle" that forms part of the pelvis. The PC muscle is largely involved with sexual functions such as ejaculation and orgasm. With regular exercise, this muscle can provide firmer and larger erections, powerful ejaculations and more intense climaxes.

So where is this muscle located? Try stopping the flow of your urine midway. The PC muscle, located between the anus and scrotum, is the one you contracts when you try to stop the flow of your urine.

How to go about exercising your PC muscles? Try clenching and releasing your PC muscle in ten-second periods. Perform three sets of this. Take a breather. Now, try the clench-and-release technique for five seconds. Perform ten sets of this. This time, try tightening the muscle for 30 seconds and relaxing for 30 seconds. Perform three sets of this.

This exercise is rather simple and easy to perform. You can do it by yourself — just about anytime and anywhere. You don’t need any device or contraption to exercise your PC muscle. But, like all exercise regimens, you need to commit to a routine devotedly. Famous porn stars, with explosive cumshots, are even rumored to perform these exercises faithfully.

So next time you and your partner are making love, try to go inside her and pause for awhile. Don’t move for several seconds- then try tightening and relaxing your PC muscle.

You also have to keep in mind that different women also prefer different types of sex. Some prefer the long and sensual approach- while others favor the pound-pound-pound approach. It’s always better to know your partner’s preference so that you can both enjoy an intimate sexual fun.

In an age of medical break-through, can modern medicine play a role in the battle against today-s obesity epidemic? Xenical has traditionally been a prescription only capsule prescribed to obese patients, and recently, the FDA gave the thumbs up to an over the counter version - Alli. Both products contain the active ingredient Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor that helps prevent fat being absorbed into the body.

Is Xenical safe?

When taken at meal times, Orlistat reduces the amount of fat that is broken down in the stomach and absorbed into the body by about 30%. Instead, fats are expelled naturally in faces, thus helping towards weight loss.

Xenical sounds ideal for those of us who struggle to keep to a healthy diet. However, the active ingredient, Orlistat, is usually only prescribed to obese people with a body mass index in excess of 30kg/m-. So if you are not dangerously overweight, Xenical/Alli may not be the right option for you. In either instance, you should always consult your doctor. There are also some worrying side effects-

What are the Xenical’s and Alli’s side effects?

Brace yourself. Some rather unpleasant side effects have been reported from use of Orlistat products. Users have reported uncontrollable anal discharges, so taking this drug could well result in embarrassing situations. Other possible effects are oily stools, loss of bowel control, diarrhea rectal pain, liver inflammation and fatigue. So Orlistat based products may not be the shining ray of light overweight people have been hoping for.

Are there any safe, effective alternatives?

There are hundreds of weight loss products on the market, but few have been clinically proven to be effective. There are products on the market that are proven to have very similar benefits to Orlistat in reducing fat in take, but with out the nasty side effects. Proactol- is a relatively new weight management product that also reduces fat from the food we eat by around 30%, butin a different way.

Proactol- - Safe, Clinically Proven Fat Binder

Proactol- is based on a patented fiber complex, that rather than just preventing fat from being broken down, pulling in fat molecules and binding them into a viscous solution in the stomach. So fat is prevented from entering the body without the embarrassing side effects of Xenical and Alli. Initial user feedback of Proactol- is extremely positive, and as well as reducing fat intake.

Proactol has the following associated benefits-

- Helps to suppress appetite
- Helps to reduce cholesterol levels
- Decreases food cravings

With hundreds of "miracle pills" on the market, Proactol- is one of the few that lives up to its claims of effectiveness. In several pre-clinical trials it has proven to be a highly effective alternative to Orlistat based products. As with most weight loss supplements, Proactol–s best results come when used in combination with a healthy diet and active lifestyle.

Penis Enlargement

October 3rd, 2007

Just as most women are unhappy with the size of their breasts, so are most men unhappy with the size of their penises. Despite the fact that the vast majority of men are simply average in size, many still think their penises are not big enough. It is unclear whether women would rather sleep with a man sporting a long penis instead of one, especially since studies conducted by various experts have yielded contradictory results.

Still, the widespread feeling of inadequacy has led to the emergence and development of the penis enlargement market. Men looking to offset the stinginess of Mother Nature, or simply to augment their bedroom performance with a bigger erection and a larger penis are flocking to websites promoting every solution ever heard of. The most popular options are penis enlargement pills, for those interested in minimizing risk with natural male enhancement, penis patches and traction devices. Pumps are somewhat out of style these days.

This flood of new products, systems and solutions has determined us to start our own independent review website as a way of helping customers find the best product available. You wouldn-t want to put your health at risk with pills, patches, devices and surgery that may not be good for you. That-s why we took the trouble to review the most popular male enhancement options.

First and foremost we-d like to say that surgery was the one option outside the scope of our study. The results of such an invasive technique are already hotly debated in journals and over the Internet. Not to mention that the potential side effects of surgery far surpass those of any other penis enhancement solution. Stories of penises looking more like sausages rather than a natural part of the human body, loss of sensation, uneven penis surfaces and scarring are common. Therefore, we decided to stick with the safer options.

After a careful consideration of the most popular solutions available we have come to the conclusion that only one product meets our strict criteria of quality, results and zero reported side effects.

ProSolution Pills - Hands down, the best pills out there. The quality of ingredients is perfect, the hundreds, if not thousands, of satisfied customers are testimony to the product-s effectiveness and there were no side effects reported. Ever. Add to this impressive range of benefits the best money back guarantee in the industry and you have before you the undisputed leader of the male enhancement market.
