Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
OK, someone put me on this idea of trying specialty tea to settle down at night. I go to the tea store and there I see "Horny Goatweed Tea". (Note to capn: let's try to keep the maturity level of this board at its usual high level.) It says on the box that it beautifully cleanses the liver and kidneys, plus some other stuff that seemed interesting. The box says there are no side effects (although I noticed that my feet have turned into hoofs and I'm eating garbage.... but I figure its the Riba.) Anyhow, give it a try! Iced or hot... I really like this stuff!
put together the words limpy and hard, and you get limpy-hard. Common variation "the limpy hardon"
I was going to fuck Stephanie but all I could come up with was a limpy-hard

Horny goat weed as Viagra alternative
Posted by David Pescovitz, September 26, 2008 10:16 AM | permalink
Researchers seeking natural "aphrodisiacs" as alternatives to Viagra think that the aptly-named horny goat weed may hold promise. According to University of Milan pharmacologist Mario Dell'Agil, a drug derived from the plant could potentially be as effective as Viagra without the same side effects as the little blue pill. From New Scientist:
Viagra's active compound, sildenafil, works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). Because PDE5 helps control blood flow to the penis, inhibiting PDE5 promotes male erection.
Dell'Agli and his colleagues tested the four plants in vitro to see how efficient they were at inhibiting PDE5. Just one Epimedium brevicornum, also known as horny goat weed and Bishop's Hat had an effect. This confirmed previous studies showing that icariin, a compound found inside the horny goat weed, is a PDE5 inhibitor.

Horny goat weed (Epimedium) has been renowned in China for ages, as an aphrodisiac, a kidney yang restorative, and a liver tonic herb.* Epimedium is combined with a synergistic blend of potent Chinese herbs, traditionally used to help support the healthy function of the kidney, liver and heart, and to promote healthy levels of natural energy.* The Chinese believe that the kidney stores the essential energy (ching), which they regard as supporting the vitality of life and sexual vitality.* Stress and the hectic modern lifestyle are considered to diminish the ching, and Chinese herbalists often recommend periodic restorative yang tonics to both men and women.* Regular tonification of the kidney and liver was believed to contribute to good health and longevity.* It also was considered to help promote the healthy function of the back, bladder and joints and to help maintain healthy normal memory.* The traditional time-tested way to use these beneficial herbs was brewed as a tea.*
