MEN'S HEALTH

When Viagra burst on the scene in 1998 it became the best-selling drug of all time, surpassing even Prozac. An estimated 30 million men in the United States suffer from erectile dysfunction, and the introduction of a pill that could solve their problems revolutionized the treatment of ED. Or did it? Improper use of Viagra has been associated with more than 200 deaths, as well as heart attacks, hypertension, color blindness, and other health problems, and more and more evidence shows that erectile dysfunction can rarely be cured by a “magic pill.” In fact, taking Viagra can end up accentuating the greater underlying problem of which the ED was a symptom, whether it be lack of physical well-being, poor psychological health, or relationship difficulties.

For those men who want all the facts on erectile dysfunction, The Viagra Alternative offers the most up-to-date information on natural, safe, and long-term cures, as well as analyses of Viagra and its competitors. Recognizing that a healthy sex life is impossible without physical, mental, and emotional health, Dr. Marc Bonnard focuses on healing the whole person with treatments ranging from herbs such as ginkgo, ginseng, saw palmetto, and yohimbe to homeopathy, acupuncture, diet, yoga exercises, and the introduction of new sexual techniques. Dr. Bonnard places special emphasis on relationship therapy, demonstrating that often an enjoyable sex life can be restored without resorting to chemicals or supplements of any kind. By exploring the range of options outlined in The Viagra Alternative and deciding which is best for them, men need no longer rely on a little pill to take control of their sexual lives.

MARC BONNARD, M.D., is a psychiatrist specializing in sex therapy and is a graduate of the French Association of Acupuncture. He lectures throughout Europe on the topic of erectile dysfunction and runs a private clinic near Bordeaux.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that changed my life, July 11, 2000

This review is from: The Viagra Alternative: The Complete Guide to Overcoming Erectile Dysfunction Naturally (Paperback)

I was one of the first people in line when Viagra, the acclaimed wonder drug, first came out. Unfortunately, my problems could not be overcome by a mere blue pill. The wonderful techniques employed by this book, including the numerous nonpharmaceutical organic natural remedies were a great help to me. The writing was brilliant, and recipes were as easy as one, two, three.

This review is from: The Viagra Alternative: The Complete Guide to Overcoming Erectile Dysfunction Naturally (Paperback)

A book that teaches the average man about the perils of Viagra and how these can be avoided by using only natural methods. The book explains why Viagra is dangerous to some people and offers a natural and clean alternative for a healthy erection and sex life. A good book but with gaps in structure, i found out that "Volume II - Natural Penis Enlargement: New methods of avoiding and curing impotence, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction safely and inexpensively. ... Book on CD-Rom for PC & Mac Computers" by Platinum Millennium has much more information about sexual disorders and is structured with greater detail than this one
