Thank god for Viagra!
How about the following for some crazy erectile dysfunction remedies!?
Professor Charles Brown Séquard for example towards the end of the nineteenth century reckoned that by giving men injections of sperm from other animals they might restore their virility and erectile function. To try out his new theory this Frenchman actually injected himself with a solution made out of the testicles of dogs and guinea pigs. He claimed that the remedy worked, (there is no way that it did) and encouraged others to use it. He named the treatment organatherapy.
Not content with this crazy idea other scientists in France reckoned that by transplanting whole testicles into man they could also restore erectile function. Just after the First World War Serge Voronoff became famous for transplanting the testicles of monkeys into the scrotums of over 1,000 men and in the American state of Kansas another erectile dysfunction quack called John Brinkley would graft the testicles of the goat on to men with impotence. But craziest of all is the story that in California older men would buy the testicles of executed younger men for the same purpose.
Despite reports that some of these remedies actually worked for our research at Ukmedix News we know that there is no way that any one of these ridiculous transplants or grafts could have had any effect on erectile function. In fact common sense is all that is needed to say that the testicles of a goat would not help a man get a better erection.
Until the arrival of the vacuum pump in the 1970’s erectile dysfunction was largely incurable. The only real option was for a man to do things like quit smoking, get fit and to eat a healthy diet in the hope that the health and condition of his penile artery would improve. The vacuum pump was in fact discovered by a man who worked servicing car tires and who developed his own vacuum pump to treat his own erectile dysfunction problem.
In the 1980’s research was done showing that by injecting yourself directly into a penis with phentolamine you could induce an erection but obviously this was their pain for and distressing thing to have to do to get an erection. This impotence remedy never really took off.
One thing that millions of men around the world all agree on is ….Thank god for Viagra!
