Diabetes can be reversed naturally. And so can its effects on your body. One of the most obvious effects is ED. Erectile dysfunction is a direct cause of diabetes attack on the endothelium.
Today we're going address the issue of Diabetes and ED.
Why?
Because high blood sugar directly damages a tissue called the endothelium, which lines all of your cardiovascular system. As this endothelium is damaged, its ability to produce a gas called nitric oxide is greatly diminished.
If you've watched our main video on our web page

While nitric oxide researchers like to joke
No NO no sex!
(with that second NO referring to nitric oxide) it's no joke to the man whose suffering from diabetes and ED.
According to Nobel Laureate in Medicine Dr. Louis J. Ignarro, he makes the following statement on page 11 of his bestselling book NO More Heart Disease:
“By 1990, our experiments indicated that NO is also the chemical messenger responsible for penile erections. Nerves in the erectile tissues release NO, dilating the blood vessels and initiating erections.”
So what does this have to do with diabetes and ED?
Well before we answer this question let's to go back to a previous image.
As you can clearly see the aging process results in a significant decrease in nitric oxide production. By the time most people reach the age of 60 their nitric oxide levels have decreased by as much as 85% due to damage done to the lining of the vascular system. This lining is called the endothelium.
High blood sugar directly damages the endothelium to accelerate this process.
And it's this cumulative damage over time that contributes to the reduced production of nitric oxide contributing to diabetic complications like high blood pressure and erectile dysfunction.
Why does this matter?
Because nitric oxide acts as a signaling molecule causing Vascular dilation.
As Dr. Ignarro stated “Nerves in the erectile tissues release NO, dilating the blood vessels and initiating erections.”
Nitric oxide causes the smooth muscles of your vascular system to relax resulting in improved blood flow.
By learning how to naturally nourish your endothelium, to boost its production of nitric oxide, you can optimize three beneficial outcomes:
First, nitric oxide directly relaxes the smooth muscle of the vascular wall helping to bring blood pressure back into a normal range.
This is critically importance for those with diabetes since 67% of all diabetics have high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for strokes and heart attacks. Nitric oxide helps to naturally bring your blood pressure back into a normal range.
Additionally, nitric oxide keeps blood platelet cells from sticking together so this, combined with lower blood pressure, helps to significantly reduce your risk for a stroke or heart attack.
Second, at high enough levels over a long enough period of time, nitric oxide can initiate reparative mechanisms that heal the damage done to the endothelium. This helps to reverse calcification (arteriosclerosis) and plaque formations (atherosclerosis) in the vascular system resulting in improved blood flow.
Additionally this healing process returns more of your damaged endothelium, caused by high blood sugar levels, back into a functioning tissue resulting in even more nitric oxide production.
This has helped a large number of men see improvements in both their blood pressure and sexual health.
Third, as nitric oxide production increases there is usually an improvement in blood flow. This helps to bring blood sugar levels back into a normal range, which allows diabetics to work with their physician to reduce the medications they use to control their blood sugar.
