Young adults using ED drugs

The Texas Rangers slugger Rafael Palmerio is 37 years old and he will not admit to having erection troubles. But he appears in ads promoting the ED drug. People started to wonder if he really suffers dysfunctions or if Pfizer, the company making this drug, wants to encourage young men to try it just for fun.
It's true that penile dysfunction is more usual among older men, but lots of potential consumers are barely senior - around 40% of 40-year-old-males in the USA have certain degree of ED. Most of the today's consumers are in early to middle 50s.

Plain talking about heart attacks

One of the entertainments in everyday life is to watch the endless cycles of urban myths. They start as whispers, slowly build in volume and then roar around the community for a few days or weeks until we all get bored. Then people start whispering a new myth. One of the more common themes is sex and, because we all like our stories to be slightly macabre, death and sex gets the biggest laughs. Have you heard the one about the man who died on top. The rigor mortis set in fast and, were it not for the weight pressing down on her, the woman said she'd never enjoyed an erection so hard and long-lasting. Such stories feed into all the fears and insecurities we have following a stroke or heart attack. Family and friends tell us to "take it easy" and not overexert ourselves. But the medical

Happiness without pain? Easy!

Pain is like a broken engine inside your body. It stops you from being yourself and living a healthy life that is full of happiness and joy. Pain has always been there. It had various interpretations - killing us from inside or outside. No matter what is said about pain - how it motivates us to be strong and want to survive - it is better not to know what it is. Body injuries usually cause lots of discomfort. Headaches and back pains are different pain definitions. They are the pains that are constant and impossible to get over without the help of a chemical drug. Chemical drugs are known to be the most effective drugs of all due to the fact that they have only one target. That is to eliminate the pain and transform it into comfortable state of the body.

Should sleeping pills be advertised so openly?

Every day you pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV, you cannot avoid seeing ads for a range of drugs including sleeping pills. It seems like the pharmaceutical industry still has money to burn even though we are going through a recession. What's going on? Well, it's all to do with building up and then maintaining the brand. Marketing has become increasingly scientific. Focus groups are brought together and polled on what features for a product are the most important, how much we would pay for it, what we think about this slogan for selling it, and so on. The intention is to design an advertising campaign that will tell us what we

If you experience pain, stroke a dog

If you ask any cat or dog owner, they will tell the animals are one of the family. Talk to them for a while and they will strike you as happy and well-adjusted. This might not seem significant but continuing medical research has detected a significant trend. This is not just your neighbor. It's the majority of people who keep a pet. The most recent piece of research was presented to the International Society of Anthrozoology conference held in Kansas City this October by a team from Loyola University of Chicago.

Impotence comes to an end

Erectile dysfunction created lots of difficulties for men, making them less confident and less independent. Sex plays a very big role in lives of both men and women but men look like they care about the problem a little bit more - their pain is a little bit deeper. Problems with sexual functioning can appear at any point in their life and they seem to be truly ashamed to admit they have them.
