L arginine benefits are many. Is it the new heart hero? Studies are suggesting just that. However this super amino acid treats a variety of conditons from skin rejuvenation to cancer. Because of its usefulness many consider this amino the tenth essential amino acid. L arginine benefits and amazing properties include:
  • Increases sperm count in men with sterility issues.
  • Retards cancerous tumor growths.
  • Reverses or improves erectile dysfunction caused by low blood flow to the penis. It also improves blood flow to the vagina and clitoris in women thereby heightening sexual response and arousal


  • A study published by the British journal of Urology showed that 50 men suffering from erectile dysfunction were given arginine or a placebo. 29 were given arginine, 21 a pacebo. Of the 29 give Arginine, nine (31%) reported significant sexual improvement. However it is significant to note that many factors contribute to erectile dysfunction. Some of these factors include low testosterone, diabetes and aging.


  • May be good for arthritis.
  • Builds bone tissue.
  • Promotes collagen production for skin, cartilage and tendon rejuvenation and health.
  • Aids in weight loss by building Muscle mass.



  • Women over 40 take notice-- Dr OZ says for every 10 years of age, menopausal women will gain 10 to 15 pounds and see a 5% metabolism decrease. To offset this, Dr OZ recommends L-Arginine powder - 2 grams 3 times daily. Remember that arginine is most effective when taken between meals on an empty stomach.


  • Instrumental in HGH release. Human growth hormone speeds metabolism aiding the weight loss process, muscle building, and tissue repair.
  • Improves mental acuity and awareness.
  • Opens clogged arteries.
  • Reduces blood pressure.
  • Reduces angina chest pain.
  • Converts to nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is a very powerful nutrient that expands and opens arteries. It is also linked to muscle development.

  • Three American scientists won the Nobel Peace prize in 1998 for discovering nitrous oxide's role in heart health.


  • Expands blood vessels and blood flow in the extremeties.
  • Increases endurance.
  • Lessens diabetic complications.
  • Stimulates insulin release from the pancreas.
  • Neutralizes ammonia in the body promoting liver detoxification.

L arginine side effects-- no side effects occur with this amino acid in regulated amounts. Larger doses (above 3 grams at a time) can create stomach cramps, potassium imbalance, dehydration, nausea and digestive discomfort. People who are hemophiliacs, on blood thinners, those with low blood pressure, or those who have just suffered a heart attack should steer clear of Arginine. As always if you are unsure, please check with your doctor. ** On a personal note. Unless you are suffering for one of the above ailments, Arginine should be on everyone's health program. More than any of the aminos, its powerful effects are clearly noticeable within a few weeks. If you have heart issues expand your dosage to 3 to 5 grams daily (before breakfast, mid-mo ing, and after lunch ). That means allowing 1 1/2 hours of time after your last meal before taking your doses. It is also important that you allow at least 30 minutes after taking your doses to allow absorption before consuming food.

As a member of The National Writers Union for many years, I have been aware of the problems experienced by educated, professional writers. Many have been deprived of their contracted fees. Others have had their writing plagiarized or syndicated without their consent and without payment to the writer by unscrupulous publishers and authors. But the Writers’ Union has done something about that. Jointly, as a group, they have managed to fight for the rights of individual writers.

Reawakening love IS possible. It happens all the time. Just when you most feel like giving up, letting go and moving on, stop and reevaluate before leaving. Yes, there are some relationships that have truly run their course. Perhaps the reason for connecting no longer exists and both would be happier elsewhere. But very often, two people reach an impassem, an inevitable butting of heads and personality differences, and instead of working through the issues they just give up and leave.

Relationships are more complex than many of us care to admit. We choose a person who attracts us because of the way they look, behave and feel. And, inevitably, as we get closer and know each other better, those very same previously wonderful qualities can become a thorn in our side.

Ever since I began seeing my private therapy and coaching clients, over two decades ago, I have been longing to work with a Virtual Assistant. In fact, I wanted this type of personal assistance to help me cope with my family, my relationships, my career path, and even my health many years before this type of service became available online. When I was single, I would often choose a partner who looked good physically or sounded wonderful at first but proved to be either emotionally or financially bereft – and I thought I had made another “bad” choice.r
