What About Price?
Unfortunately cheapest is not always best. It's true some natural products are overpriced for various reasons. But in the realm of botanical medicines, the higher price often reflects higher quality. This issue is not as critical for vitamins. A less expensive vitamin C is apt to be as potent as a more expensive one, for example, although slightly higher-priced vitamin C tablets are often more pleasant and easier to swallow. |

Garlic, ginseng, onions, fish oil, aloe, ginger and honey they're all easy to get and they all have been proven to be effective remedies for many ailments. But do they really work? Or do they work just because we believe they will work? The answer is "yes" to both questions.
All of these so-called panaceas have legitimate medical effects on our bodies. And when we expect them to work because we have evidence that they have worked for our ancestors for thousands of years those effects are greatly enhanced. | | You'll find a section on natural "wonder drugs" honey, ginger, fish oils, garlic, onions, ginseng, aloe that are so effective in treating so many different problems that some people actually label them "panaceas" (cure-alls).

Another Chinese herb, shizandra, also has a regulating effect on the central nervous system. Studies show that this herb quickens responses and makes people more alert while actually stimulating the nervous system. A 1983 study conducted in China showed that shizandra relieves headaches, insomnia and dizziness and calms a racing heart. |

There are many varieties of willow which grow extensively in China, North America, and Europe. In botanic medicine the white willow (Salix alba) is cited as one of nature's greatest gifts to man because its bark contains the glucoside salicin, a scientifically proven pain reliever.

Isadore Rosenfeld, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Some of my patients have responded to various herbal remedies such as meadowsweet, feverfew, ginseng, black horehound, asarum, mahuang, and peony. However, I cannot vouch for their efficacy, or even for their safety, for that matter. Mahuang, for example, is widely used as an aid to weight loss. Thirty-seven people recently required hospitalization in Texas and two may have died because of the ephed-rine in this commercially available herb. Ephedrine is a potent drug (considered a narcotic in some states) that speeds the heart and raises blood pressure. | | The Chinese use it too, but they add ginseng to it.)

In summary, use vitamin C when you have a cold if you're persuaded that it helps, but do so in divided doses and limit yourself to 2,000 milligrams a day. | | Early American colonists, including our own Daniel Boone, were ginseng devotees too. In the past twenty years, there has been a resurgence in interest in this root in this country. Although some form or other is grown throughout the world, the traditional, classic product is the Panax variety of Chinese origin. It is widely used in the United States and elsewhere by athletes, by menopausal women (hoping to help control their hot flashes and other symptoms of estrogen deprivationsee page 316), by both sexes as a tonic, and by men to enhance sexual prowess. | | All the ginseng, or even oysters, will not have the slightest impact if the blood supply to your penis is diminished because of arteriosclerosis of the arteries that feed it, or if the nerves that control erection have been damaged by some toxic agent or by diabetes. Your ardor will not be enhanced by anything you eat, drink, or inhale if your thyroid gland is underfunctioning and every organ system in your body is on "hold." Also, there are many medications that impair performance and desire. | | These include the belief that ginseng, artichokes, asparagus, various shellfish, and celery, to name but a few, confer enhanced sexual power. Everyone has his or her own list. It takes only one or two apparent "hits" with a given food to convince most people that it is a sexual stimulant.
Before you get all hot and bothered in anticipation of what you will read in these next few pages, let me remind you that loss of desire or libido, the need for a boost of some kind, as well as the inability of a man to "perform," may be either psychological or physical. | | Avoid it too if you have high blood pressure or suffer from chronic headaches because ginseng has been known to aggravate both. Be aware that it can also cause vaginal bleeding, especially if you're menopausal. If this occurs, report it to your doctor.
Most foods and potions alleged over the years to enhance sexual powers are harmless, but some can create problems. For example, repeated use of Spanish fly (cantharides) can hurt the genitourinary tract. Folklore about the power of powdered rhinoceros horn taken with wine has helped put that animal on the endangered species list. |

Native to Brazil, this herb is also called "potency wood." According to a recent study conducted at the Institute of Sexology in Paris, it may live up to its reputation. In the study, 262 men who complained of low sex drive or erection problems were given 1 to 1.5 grams of muira extract daily. | | If fatigue was sapping your interest in sex, tonics such as ginseng or ashwagandha were prescribed for stamina and energy. If a sluggish libido was creating friction between spouses, herbs such as tribulus, muira puama, and sarsaparilla were recommended to boost hormone levels for both sexes. If atherosclerosis (blockage of the arteries) was making it impossible for a man to sustain an erection, herbs such as ginkgo biloba or yohimbe were prescribed to increase blood flow to the penis. |

It stimulates RNA synthesis (14), produces changes in the polysome content, i.e., the content of the bodies in liver cells that are responsible for the production of glucose from lactic acid (15), increases the amount of endoplasmic reticulum, i.e., in those cellular structures responsible for metabolic function (16), and stimulates protein synthesis (17). Whether blood sugar would be produced or used up during that process would depend on substrate requirements of the cell. |

Another factor believed by scientists to be partly responsible for the symptoms of aging is the gradual decline in the output of sex hormones that usually begins in the middle years of life. In youth these glands are healthy and active and are directly related to the general health and to the prolonged appearance of youth. If the sex glands are nourished, the precious hormones would once again be produced at higher levels similar to those produced by younger people. |
