Erectile dysfunction and loss of libido are becoming more prevalent. I am simply compiling a list of anything I find that could possibly cause erectile dysfunction or loss of libido from case studies, personal experiences and side effect list from manufacturers and FDA. If you have anything to add, please let me know and I will add it to the list. Perhaps you can find something that you weren’t aware of that could be contributing to your ED. Of course there are always physiological and psychological factors but what else can cause it? There are prescription drugs, over the counter drugs, street drugs, chemicals, mental stress, physical stress and food to name a few.
So far I have found lots, no wonder it is such a big problem:

Use and abuse of these drugs can cause ED. These drugs not only affect and often times suppress the central nervous system, but can also cause serious damage to the blood vessels, resulting in permanent ED.
FOOD:
Soy Protein Isolates
Genetically Modified Soy which includes:
Mono-diglyceride
Soya, Soja or Yuba
TSF (textured soy flour) or TSP (textured soy protein)
TVP (textured vegetable protein)
Lecithin
MSG (monosodium glutamate)
If you experience ED and think that it may be a result of medication you are taking, do not stop taking the drug without first consulting your doctor.
If foods such as GMO, Aspartame, MSG, soy protein isolates and a LOT of different prescription drugs are causing erectile dysfunction and loss of libido, could this be one of the governments many plans for mass birth control? After all, aren’t they the ones who allow this type of poisoning in our food, personal and health care products? We need to look at the whole picture. A lot of drugs and food can cause erectile dysfunction and loss of libido, then we are given another drug such as Viagra to fix that problem or anti-depressants because we must have too much stress.
Think about it, if there is that much erectile dysfunction and loss of libido happening, there can’t be that much baby making going on. Look at the Viagra being sold nowadays.
A lot of people complain they are too worn out to have sex nowadays, no energy. Our food chain is draining in so many way.
I call the younger generation the WHITE FLOUR KIDS. They have no ambition to get up and do anything. Most of them need an afternoon nap to get by their day. They don’t exercise and they eat food with very little if any nutritional value. Kids are asking Doctors for Viagra nowadays, now how sad is that? We can sit by and consume these foods and pretend like nothing is going on but if you are one of the unfortunate ones who has chronic pain for unexplained reasons, this may be of more interest to you. We should pay attention to cancer, heart disease and the many forms of immunity diseases.
We need change. Just my thoughts!
Alcohol is taken regularly with pain killers, prescription, over the counter and street drugs without thinking twice about it. Do we really know the consequences, long term results or internal damage we could be causing to our bodies?
The addiction to alcohol, pain killers or street drugs can also lead to liver damage, kidney damage, hives, mental illnesses or even worse, child neglect, child abuse or spousal abuse. Not to mention the crime, theft and death and devastation drinking and driving accidents cause.
Lets remember that one alcoholic drink means:
- 12 ounces beer
- 5 ounces of wine
1 1/2 ounces of 80% proof, 1 ounce of 100% proof
Anti-depressants
Cymbalta – alcohol and drugs like Cymbalta affect similar chemicals in the brain
- concern is increasing effects of alcohol, possibly increasing depression or affecting motor skills
- healthcare professionals advise is you do drink, drink light to moderate amounts
* My thought – it is a fairly new drug and we are the guinea pigs so report your side effects and adverse reactions with drugs/alcohol/herbal/foods. I would consider liver or kidney damage. There are withdrawals symptoms with Cymbalta, libido and on and on.
**I am not a doctor or professional but I wouldn’t combine them or take either if you have a history of depression, suicidal thoughts or any kind of mental illness. Get some help, it will get better.
*** Here is it, though I would include it too. Warnings are for anyone with biopolar, suicidal attempts, heart disease, diabetes, seizures, epilepsy, glaucoma, liver, kidney, bladder or allergies.

Forget the Chocolate! Guelph University researchers in Ontario have done it again. Guelph food science professor Massimo Marcone and John Melnyk, a master’s student found studies to support good old herbs and spices can give results. It has been long known in the Natural world but scientific proof must be obtained to make it real:
Saffron – substantial effects on enhances sex drive and performance
- effective in treating erectile dysfunction
- lead to increased sexual desire and enhanced satisfaction
Ginseng, Panax variety – helps men with erectile dysfunction
- increase the sex drive and pleasure of menopausal women
It notes the current popularity of such drugs as Viagra and Cialis to treat erectile dysfunction. Viagra and Cialis brought in $1.9 billion US and $1.7 billion US, respectively, last year for their parent companies, Pfizer Inc. and Eli Lilly and Co.
Even young kids are asking for these drugs and mixing it with ecstasy which is really dangerous.
What a hoot! That planet fitness commercial makes me laugh every time I see it. The big, dumb looking body builder in his short, shorts with his 3 liter jug of juice saying over and over………
I lift things up and put them down.
I lift things up and put them down.
I lift things up and put them down.
I lift things up and put them down.
As they escort him out the back door……
Hmmm, too much steroids or too much genetically modified soy protein isolate? LOL
You know, it doesn’t matter what it is that makes you laugh, make sure you do it everyday. It releases endorphins, those feel good hormones and we need a burst of them everyday!
Seriously though, most body builders take some form of that protein with soy protein isolate. The problem is that most of it is genetically modified or GMO which has been shown to cause erectile dysfunction, hormonal disturbance, infertility and loss of libido in women as well as many other symptoms. Kind of ironic isn’t it? Trying to build a hard, sexy body meanwhile it is robbing you of your sexual well being.
Why do they allow these products on the market if they are harming us? Soy is good if it is organic, just make sure you are buying from a source you can trust. GMO foods not only jeopardize human health but also our environment, organic farming and animals.
I try to find the best products and the best prices for you.
If you are looking for pure, natural and organic body building proteins you can trust, click on the link below and put proteins in the search. This is the best price so far that I have found so far, but will continue to search.
For serious body builders, the Capra Double Bonded Protein sound like a good product, is gluten free, GMO free. I would think the Sun Warriors protein would be a good product too. I haven’t tried the body building products because I just exercise to firm not build, I am chick not a dude. : ) I can buy my chia seeds and have them delivered cheaper than I can buy them here though. We Canadians do have to pay a duty fee on the order which puts the price up for us.
Here are some articles I wrote on the effects of genetically modified foods. It is worth checking them out:

So the FDA has finally admitted that all anti-inflammatories can kill you. Have you been treated with anti-inflammatories for your Fibromyalgia? Here is some information you really need to be aware of before taking Vioxx, Bextra or Celebrex associated with heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular disease. Also over the counter drugs Aleve, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxyn and prescription Naproxyn and Aleve to limit or discontinue. He also talks about the effects of aspirin causing internal bleeding and wasn’t it Dr Oz who recommended a baby aspirin a day? Tylenol causes liver damage. Nsaids or anti-inflammatories causing erectile dysfunction. When is it going to end? Aren’t these the very things that are supposed to be keeping us healthy?
My confusion is the mixed information or rather mis-information and prescribing for Fibromyalgia. I have been given prescription anti-inflammatories for the past 18 years, now I am concerned. Anyone else been on years of anti-inflammatories?

What can we do for pain? Be educated! Jon Baron is a miracle doctor and here is his explanation for pain. What I find interesting is the link of Substance P and Fibromyalgia I wrote about in another article. You can read his book for free on line or buy it for a low price. I have tried his products and they are amazing, organic, wildcrafted herbs. I am not an affiliate, I just highly recommend the man and trust his information and product. He genuinely cares for your health, not his pocket book.

Little do we know that the soy they claim is healthy for us is not so healthy. Why? Besides the fact that they turn it into soy protein isolate which can hide in so many foods we are unaware of, 90 to 95% of it is Genetically Modified Soy or GMO. According to quite a few sources it can cause quite a list of side effects from hormonal disruptions, miscarriage, infertility in women, loss of libido and erectile dysfunction in men, man boobs as well.
Another article I wrote showed that codeine can cause loss of libido and erectile dysfunction as well. So body builders should be warned, especially if they are having erectile dysfunction to stay away from those protein drinks with soy protein isolates. Dr Mercola says it can age you 5 years and it hides out in foods like:
Here are a few other names soy tends to hide under:
- Mono-diglyceride
- Soya, Soja or Yuba
- TSF (textured soy flour) or TSP (textured soy protein)
- TVP (textured vegetable protein)
- Lecithin
- MSG (monosodium glutamate)
Not all textured vegetable protein is made from soy, but a great deal of it is. Lecithin can be made from soy, eggs, sunflower or corn. Be sure to contact the manufacturer to find out which is in your product if the label doesn’t reveal this information.
