In days gone by the Romans would eat walnuts for good sexual function...

According to Professor Dr Kim Kah Hwi of the Universiti Malaya in Malaysia the humble walnut could contain a natural cure for erectile dysfunction and at Ukmedix News we have christened him “The Nutty Professor”. The professor says that by extracting a certain compound that is present in walnuts in tiny quantities and making special tablets from this compound he has been able to come up with a natural and effective alternative to the erectile dysfunction medications Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

The researchers who worked with Professor Kim Kah Hwi at the Faculty of Medicine and Physiology have tested the new walnut erectile dysfunction tablets on 40 volunteers and they said that the results were extremely good. The researchers claim that in clinical trials the new walnut medication was as good as Viagra and had the added advantage of being completely safe with no side effects. 

The compound that is taken from the walnuts is arginine that falls into the category of amino acids and which converts to nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide is essential for good sexual function and is an integral part of the reaction that makes Viagra so effective. In order to make one of these tablets, the arginine has to be extracted from over three kilos of walnuts. The researchers said that the effects of the walnut pill will start within an hour and will last for around four hours. (Similar to the Viagra drug.)

The Nutty Professor says that he got the idea for researching an erectile dysfunction remedy with walnuts when he read that in days gone by the Romans would eat walnuts for good sexual function and therefore he decided to explore a little bit more. The whole process of getting to where they are now took two years and he said that the tablets have full approval from the Health Ministry in Malaysia.

Well, what do we think about this at Ukmedix News? Has Professor Kim Kah Hwi stumbled across the next global erectile dysfunction medication or does his discovery fall into the category of quack and bogus medication. On balance we think it is fair to say that the Nutty Professor’s pills could definitely have some mild affect on sexual function due to the fact that they have chemicals in them that are essential for good sexual function. However we seriously doubt that they could be as effective as Viagra, Cialis or Levitra and to be honest we will find out pretty soon if a worldwide revolution is caused in the erectile dysfunction drug market…but we don’t think that’s going to happen.
