Natural Viagra from Peru
Maca is Peru's Natural Viagra
The South American country of Peru is home to numerous beneficial plants, including maca, a legendary sex-enhancing root passed down from the Inca. I'd heard about maca for years. It has been dubbed "Peruvian ginseng," even though it bears no relation to ginseng. But like ginseng, the plant is employed to increase strength, energy, stamina, libido and sexual function, a winning combination of health benefits if there ever was one.
To investigate maca's health benefits and understand the role that maca plays in Peruvian culture, my wife and I headed down to Peru to explore the maca trail. In the process we met with maca traders, growers and scientists, and came back tremendously impressed by this plant, which is now available as a supplement in U.S. health food stores.
What is Maca? Maca, Lepidium meyenii, is an annual plant which produces a radish-like root. The root of maca is typically dried and stored, and will easily keep for seven years. The plant is cultivated in the Junin plateau of Peru's Central Highlands, and was highly revered by the Inca.
During the height of the Incan empire, legend has it that Incan warriors would consume maca before entering into battle. This would make them fiercely strong. But after conquering a city the Incan soldiers were prohibited from using maca, to protect the conquered women from their powerful sexual impulses. Thus as far back as 500 years ago, maca's reputation for enhancing strength, libido and fertility was already well established in Peru.
Today, maca's popularity is very much on the increase, as people discover that the plant really does boost libido, sexual function and overall energy. Acreage in Peru dedicated to Maca cultivation is increasing every year to meet demand, and a number of scientists have turned their attention to the properties of the root. In Peru, maca is used by men and by women who want to put more fire into their sex lives. And in the U.S., Europe and Japan, dietary supplements containing maca are gaining ardent devotees.
Maca Nutrition: What natural ingredients in maca promote its reputed sex-enhancing effects? In-depth analysis of maca conducted in 1998 by Dr. Qun Yi Zheng and his colleagues at PureWorld Botanicals shows that maca contains about 10 percent protein, almost 60 percent carbohydrate, and an assortment of fatty acids. These ingredients are common and nothing special. But the investigators also discovered two groups of novel compounds, the macamides and the macaenes. These agents are believed to be directly responsible for maca's sex-boosting powers.

Syphilis Overview
Syphilis has been around for centuries and is another STD. A microscopic bacterial organism
called spirochete causes syphilis. The organism is scientifically named Treponema Pallidum.
The spirochete is a wormlike, spiral-shaped organism that wiggles vigorously when viewed
under a microscope. Common be good and say ‘hi’ to it. Burrowing into the moist, mucous-
covered lining of the mouth or genitals it infects a person. Chancre a classic, painless ulcer
is produced by the spirochete.
Syphilis Symptoms
Along with an inactive stage, there are three stages of syphilis. Chancre formation is the
first stage. It takes anywhere between 10 to 90 days after infection for chancre to develop,
with an average time of 21 days following infection till the first symptoms develop. When
the ulcer is present syphilis is highly contagious.
The infection can be transmitted from contact with the ulcer which teams up with
spirochetes. Condoms may not prevent the transmission of the infection by contact if the
ulcer is outside the vagina or on the male’s scrotum. There you go again thinking about
abstinence. Merely kissing the infected individual can spread the infection if the ulcer is in
the mouth. So, next time think before you kiss. The ulcer can resolve without treatment
after three to six weeks, but the disease can recur months later as secondary syphilis if the
primary stage is not treated properly.
