Yohimbe

Spin the wheel....what shall we stop on next as we tromp through all the supplements available on today's market. dddddddddrrrrrr! YOHIMBE!

A friend in Texas has multiple medical problems. He is crusty old fart that I have known for some time. He is one of those know it all males who struts like a rooster, unfortunately for him, he can't rooster without help. Unable to take pharmacy drugs, he says Yohimbe saved his marriage to his sixth wife or is she the seventh?

This herb must be flying off the shelves. It is touted as the herb that makes men sexier and stronger. Hey, it even states it can build muscle.

The product is extracted from tree bark in West Africa and used as an aphrodisiac by natural healers. What is Viagra made from? Is it the FDA approved version. The FDA version cautions about a drop in blood pressure and states it should not be used by those with heart or those taking anti depressants. I would wonder if just eating a snack of bark might be considered.

As for body building, does it increase the level of testosterone? I would beg to differ. Paying attention to your heart health is a better way to stay strong the healthy.

My Texas friend says he isn't cute anymore. Childhood years in the California sun caused greater than 20 cancer spots on his face. He looks like a pinto in his pictures. His sixth wife made him cut off his pony tail. And like most men in the late sixties, muscle mass has left and being a skinny little fellow in the beginning-- well, to quote him--"Is now a bag of bones on Yohimbe. You gotta love men that are truthful.
