Or, it could be that those who took Viagra had a love life, and those who didn’t, didn’t have a love life.

Most drugs work because they improve the circulation — including aspirin, which thins the blood.

High blood pressure medications work by dilating the blood vessels — allowing more blood to flow through while decreasing the work the heart has to do.

Many medications were formulated to treat high blood pressure, and the manner in which they do, produces unanticipated side effects. Viagra and Cialis increases the body’s production of nitric oxide — which dilates the capillaries (tiniest blood vessels) — and predictably, the capillaries throughout the body, and not just to one specific organ — as the specialists like to believe.

Therefore, it is likely to improve the general health of the body — including the erectile dysfunction, benign prostate enlargement, arthritis in the hands and feet, brain functioning, etc.

Of course the narrow specialists like the Faucis of the world still believe that everything is unrelated to everything else — and so drugs that improve the health generally in some unfunded way, can have no effect on improvements which the fund grantor did not pay for.

So it is quite plausible that increasing nitric oxide lowers the incidence of dementias and dysfunctions by improving the overall functioning and immunity of the body — without first generating specific studies to prove their effectiveness and profitability for individuals and organizations that underwrite those specific studies. But we have all of life to observe the relationship of one thing to every other. That is true science — and not just the control of bureaucratic hierarchies aggrandizing their own place, profitability and egos in the greater scheme of things.

I think viagra was originally used for diabetics. Then they found out it worked for ED. Now it works for alzheimers.

The drug in viagra was initially a hair loss remedy.
Guys would massage it onto their scalp, get wood, rub one off then grow hair on their palms. Or is that an urban legend?

I am going to need some hard evidence to judge the voracity of this finding.

I’m far from an expert on it but I think that supplementing with a nitric oxide precursor (L-Arginine) works better unless you are mainly interested in GI tract activity (such as possibly repairing NSAID damage).

Some drugs increase circulation in parts of the vascular system and decrease it in other parts so you have to be careful. I had some personal experience with that which I won’t go into but I assure you it’s true.
