Jackson, who fought long-running battles with prescription medication throughout his career, was taking the drugs after suffering injuries during training for his comeback, lawyer and spokesman Brian Oxman said.
Oxman told CNN that he had harboured concerns about Jackson's use of drugs, saying members of the star's entourage were "enablers'' and comparing his case to the drug overdose death of Playboy centrefold Anna-Nicole Smith.
"This is not something that has been unexpected... because of the medications which Michael was under,'' Oxman said from the hospital where Jackson's family members had gathered.
"The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him... if you think that the case of Anna-Nicole Smith was an abuse, it was nothing to what we have seen in Michael Jackson's life."

I hope that everyone can read through the lines here and see that the cause of his cardiac arrest was not to try to get in shape for his upcoming tour, but the cause of years of heavy medications and who knows, maybe unhealthy living. So to all of you out there. Please listen to the side effects and try to find other ways to reach good health then by taking the Rx.
As a fan of the King of Pop ~ I hope you have found peace, you will be missed, but never lost.

A sensitive subject
It seems that as soon as I mention ED and some of our markets most popular drugs, prescribed to treat or hide the disorder I get emails after emails from people wondering if it is true or not, and from people trying to sell me some Viagra… Selling Viagra or even trying to sell it to me makes me laugh. I just want to say “didn’t you just read what I wrote”? But I guess as long as the word ED is in there… people attack like hungry sharks. And I understand – Sex is important! And selling something that, according to the advertisements, can improve your sex life has to be fun!
Well this blog isn’t about promoting Viagra, Cialis, or any other drug produced by drug companies. This is about a healthier way of life – nothing else.
So let’s do this again, let’s learn about ED and let’s learn about how we can do something about it in another way than talking to your doctor about possible drugs (with side effects).
Penile erection occurs as a result of increased blood flow to the penis, engorgement with blood, and decreased outflow of blood from the penis. Primarily, this process is mediated by nitric oxide, which is a neurotransmitter and vasodilator. ED may be caused by different factors such as physical illness, medicinal treatments, or psychological effects. In many cases men with ED will be prescribed to try one of the drugs on the market, such as Viagra or Cialis. These drugs works by blocking the enzyme called phosphodiesterase (the enzyme that normally works by “letting the erection go” after the sex act). In other words these drugs will never treat the issue, just make it work for the moment.
When taking drugs we all have to worry about side effects, effects that sometimes seem worse than the illness itself… And what most people don’t know about Viagra is this:
Once FDA approved Viagra,
- 255 serious heart rhythm disturbances
- 53 episodes of congestive heart failure
- 119 strokes
- 517 heart attacks
- 522 deaths!
Yes you read it – 522 deaths in its first year on the market! (Remember the big fuss about ephedra? FDA pulled this natural product off the market because there were 155 assumes deaths reported over a 10-year period. Where none of the deaths were actually proven to be caused from taking ephedra and its synthetic twin ephedrine remains on the market today. Sometimes you might wonder whom the FDA is working for.)

So considering these side effects from taking these drugs many men choose to do nothing, and that is sad too! There are natural ways to improve your sex life without any horrible side effects; in fact supplementing with Arginine might improve other functions as well!
NaturalSexPower.com says this about Arginine and ED:
…These risks are one of the reasons why men are looking for alternative treatments. L-arginine is one of the most beneficial of these alternatives. L-arginine is widely supported by the Nobel Prize committee and other notable individuals. This is due to the fact that it has such a large range of benefits. Not only does it open the arteries and produce adequate blood flow which is necessary for proper erectile functioning; it also adds essential benefits to your life. The use of L-arginine has been embraced by physicians, researchers and scientists because of its benefits to such things as heart disease, adiposity-generated diseases, immune function, high blood pressure, human aging, and of course sexual dysfunction. However, the list of benefits goes much further.

http://www.naturalsexualpower.com/articles/how_does_l-arginine_m2_relate_to_sexual_dysfunction.php
Researches say this:
- Arginine alleviates male impotence by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, the endogenous chemical that stimulates erections in males.
- Arginine alleviates male infertility by improving sperm count and sperm motility due to its involvement in the manufacture of endogenous spermidine.
- Arginine enhances male and female sexual desire (libido)
- Arginine enhances female sexual performance due to its role in the production of nitric oxide production in the clitoris, nitric oxide facilitates female orgasm in the clitoris.
- Arginine improves male sexual performance by providing nitrogen to the nitric oxide molecule that is integral to the achievement of erections – Arginine produces erections that are bigger, harder, and more frequent. It also increases male sexual endurance.
- Arginine improves sperm count and sperm motility
- Arginine may improve prostate function
- Arginine deficiency can cause atrophy of the testicles of the testes.
- Arginine cure ED – 80% of men with erectile dysfunction treated with L-arginine and antioxidants recovered from their erectile dysfunction after one month of treatment
E-mail me and I will send you a list of references; Helena@mi4u.org
Arginine works by releasing nitric oxide that triggers the release of c-GMP, which is a molecule that causes engorgement of this tissue. Arginine releases nitric oxide to make sure there is plenty of c-GMP.
So are you or someone you love suffering from ED?
Don’t you think it is time you tried a natural product for once?
Email me and I will tell you all about some wonderful products that you can be 100% confident in that it is actually 100% natural. If you rather look on your own; make sure you find a product that contains 5 grams of Arginine in each dose, 200mg of Citruline and antioxidants! As they will work in harmony with each other!
Good luck and take care of yourself!
