An important study has been done by German researchers that has linked impotence as a risk factor of heart attacks.

Impotence is linked to inadequate blood flow in the penile arteries.The persistent failure to get an erection may be due to the narrowing of arteries.

The report shows that Doctors need to be asking men about any erectile dysfunction, as it could be an early warning sign.

"Dr Geoff Hackett, a consultant urologist at the Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield, said it was a "national disgrace" that medicals for over-40s did not include questions about impotence."

It is noted that men often do not raise issues of impotence because they feel embarrassed. Yet they need to know there could be more serious implications connected to it.

"A Department of Health spokesperson said: "Some reports do suggest a link between erectile dysfunction and heart disease, and the Department of Health will keep new and emerging evidence under review in relation to the content of the NHS Health Check programme."

"The NHS Health Check programme offers five-yearly medicals to 40 to 74-year-olds with the aim of preventing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and chronic kidney disease."

"They started being rolled out in 2009"

23 months ago: Well then, if heart problems are caused by blood clogs and by poor circulation.

"Impotence is linked to inadequate blood flow in the penile arteries."

And erectile dysfunction is connected to the low blood volume, then why don't people use a natural vitamin such as organic Vitamin E, to disolve the blood clogs and increase the blood flow?

But there is another problem that symptom doctors don't tell you. Since they only treat the symptoms of the problem and NEVER the true cause of the problem.

It is that the body works in a balanced way.

The PH balance of the body will indicate that you are out of balance, in all cells of your body.

When you are extremely acidic, your body has to rebalance again.

It does that by robbing Peter to pay Paul.

It removes nutrients from your bones to supply where they are needed.

Nutritional Deficiencies are just one cause, out of the five major causes of all illnesses.

A truly healthy person is in perfect PH balance.

If the smell of a stack of freshly minted 20's fails to cause arousal in a republican, or the words hope and change likewise fail in their democrat counterparts, an abdominal aortagram with bilateral peripheral runoff may be prescribed by your physician.
Libertarians may be diagnosed by a failure of the words "legalized cannabis" to stimulate a proper response.
Seriously, calcification of vessels (hardening of the arteries) is a serious and expensive health issue, and my wife informed me that Dr. Oz recently mentioned another very simple but somewhat telling indicator that may reveal a problem.
Sit down on a flat surface and bend to touch your toes, inflexible arteries, or those that have significant calcification may prevent you from doing so. Insufficient blood supply to the legs may also manifest in pain upon ambulation of a significant distance, or buttock pain if the profunda (deep femoral) artery is stenosed or occluded.
There are many treatments available, from simple medical management to interventions such as balloon angioplasties and/or stenting to enhance blood flow.
I am still waiting to see the results of the NIH study involving chelation therapy which, when previously performed for the removal of toxic heavy metals brought many anecdotal testimonies of increased tolerances of ambulation and seemingly enhanced blood flow.
If, indeed, the removal of arterial plaques could be accomplished by the chelating out of the calcium that forms part of that matrix, bypass surgery, and indeed many other interventions presently being used might see a serious decline in use.

If it is an indicator, should be on the physical checklist.....
