Viagra is one of the most famous drugs in the world, verifying forever that sex sells. Pfizer, the gigantic pharmaceutical company that makes Viagra is researching drugs for COPD.
Sildenafil was originally tested as a heart drug. Always thought the drug study would make a great movie, nice mix of tragedy and raunchy comedy.
The pitch. A bunch of older guys with bum hearts are recruited to try out a new drug. The head physician tells them the purpose of the study and gives them some pills to take home. Buddy pops a tablet just before dinner. Later he gazes over at his wife who's making gravy for the roast beef in the oven. Is it her short dress? The way she's bending over? Her skin? Her legs? The nape of her neck? Whatever it is, he's got a ranging hard on and wants to screw her NOW! Due to his impotence they haven't had intercourse in years, so his advances surprise his lovely wife. Surprise and thrill her, and quickly they are getting it on like teenagers on the kitchen table, gravy burning on the stove! Similar stories happen to three other guys and they all become fast friends.
Hope you haven't heard this joke. An attractive woman goes to her doctor. In tears she tells him about her husband's erectile dysfunction and how they haven't made love forever. He gives her a sample package Viagra. The woman is doubtful, explaining that her husband doesn't take any drugs, he won't even do an Aspirin. The doctor instructs her to grind 50 milligrams of Viagra up and secretly put it in his coffee.
She returns a few days later, more distressed than ever. What happened? "I did exactly what you told me to do, one morning I put the powdered Viagra in his coffee. Pretty soon he got this wild look in his eye. AND a huge bulge in his pants. He grabbed me, lifted my dress, ripped my panties off, and took me right there on the floor. It was absolutely amazing, we'd never had sex that good." Then why are you so unhappy, asked the doctor? "We can never go back to our favorite Starbucks again!"
OK, enough humor, let's return to the serious stuff.
I use Viagra. Maybe that's not so serious. Anyway when I take Viagra I feel really good, and it's not jut the wine, women and song that may be happening. I breathe better. I feel less pressure in my chest and I have more energy, and the physical ability to do things. I feel more at ease and I'm sure it's the result of cappilaries opening up in my heart and lungs.
An erection occurs when blood flows freely to the genitals, and that invigorated blood flow happens all through the body. I know they have done test trials using Viagra to treat people with COPD. Viagra works by influencing the nitric oxide molecule which expands blood vessels. Now here's the GOOD NEWS. When doing Buteyko breathing, nitric oxide is produced abundantly in the para nasal sinuses.
Just recently I began to read the works of Rudolph Steiner. His quote says it all, "For this is a great secret: all the healing forces reside originally in the human breathing system."
So today I am even more invigorated to deepen my Buteyko Breathing practice. There is no alternative. And a treatment that involves sitting quietly in a relaxed manner and breathing gently can become most enjoyable.
