It is that time of year again when a remote area of the Himalayan Mountains becomes a hive of activity for men and women trying to find what has become known as “Himalayan Viagra”. This so called natural erectile dysfunction remedy goes by the local name of Yarshagumba and is a fungus which only grows at high altitude. It is especially popular among Chinese people who believe that it can boost sexual performance.

As far as we can ascertain that Ukmedix News there have been no professional clinical studies done on the Yarshagumba fungus to determine whether it is effective or safe. At Ukmedix News we have reported on this phenomenon before and it appears that the popularity of the Yarshagumba fungus is down to the placebo effect which accompanies impotence medications and which in the case of impotence meds can be as much as 40% in some cases. There is also a concern that criminal manufacturers of so called natural erectile dysfunction medications are cashing in on the supposed benefits of Yarshagumba and mixing it with illegally manufactured versions of the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra.
Part of the problem in Nepal where the Yarshagumba is most abundant is that the local communist government does not allow the sale of Pfizer’s Viagra or Cialis and Levitra. These means that men suffering from erectile dysfunction are often desperate and turn to riskier methods to try to cure themselves of their problem.
In countries where the erectile dysfunction medications Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are not legal men are faced with considerable problems getting help for sexual difficulties and are more likely to find themselves in trouble after using dangerous and illegal impotence drugs. They also often end up paying far higher prices to criminal and even terrorist organisations for the substandard drugs.

Everyone in Nepal thought atleast the Maoists will do something for bettermen of Nepal. But the Maoists did nothing and everything is being stopped. This may be their trick to make people poorest of poorest so they follow them always. The Maoist ideology is the worse of all on this earth. But because of poverty people follow them. In order to make all poor to follow them the Maoists are doing this. The Maoists don't have any experience of managing administrations.
