- L-arginine: #1 on the list is the amino acid l-arginine. A precursor to nitric oxide, this conditionally non-essential amino acid is especially important in times of trauma or stress. What makes is ‘conditionally essential’ is that while the body can normally produce adequate quantities, during times of stress (including burn trauma), the body is unable to produce sufficient quantities, at which time supplementation is of key importance. Also, when the arteries undergo what is called ‘endothelial dysfunction,’ and are incapable of dilating sufficiently, adding additional l-arginine can correct the condition by inducing nitric oxide up-regulation, subsequently increasing blood flow, which can lead to resolution of cardiovascular dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction. We have indexed no less than six clinical studies on l-arginine, either alone or in combination with another nutraceutical, indicating it can contribute to a reversal of erectile dysfunction.
- Pycnogenol: This amazing substance has a wide range of health benefits. In fact, we have indexed over 80 evidence-based health applications here. When it comes to erectile dysfunction, pycnogenol figures as a profound synergist, working to amplify the benefits of l-arginine to the point where two separate clinical studies found the combination highly effective and safe in resolving erectile dysfunction.[1][2]
- Panax Ginseng: This amazing Asian herb has been used for thousands of years to increase stamina and longevity. There is now a sizable body of scientific evidence supporting its traditional folkoric use, with a 2008 meta-analysis of the extant research on the topic, which looked at 7 randomized clinical trials to ascertain its value in erectile dysfunction, concluding: “Collectively these RCTs provide suggestive evidence for the effectiveness of red ginseng in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.”[3]
- Maca: this South American tuber, both a food and medicine, and long identified as a means to increasing fertility and libido in both men and woman, was found in a 2009 clinical trial to have a significant effect “…on subjective perception of general and sexual well-being in adult patients with mild ED.”[4]
- Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia): Like most traditional herbs, Tongkat Ali has had a variety of traditional uses, including as an “antimalarial, aphrodisiac, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and antipyretic [fever-reducer].”[5] As far as its libido enhancing properties, two preclinical trials have found it effective in the animal model at improving sexual performance, confirming its aphrodisiacal properites.[6],[7]
- Saffron: this sacred spice, highly prized as both a culinary ingredient and medicine, has been studied to have significant effects in reversing erectile dysfunction at doses of 200 mg a day. A 2009 study found: “Saffron showed a positive effect on sexual function with increased number and duration of erectile events seen in patients with ED even only after taking it for ten days.”[8]
- Yohimbe: This potent herb has been found effective when combined with l-arginine to improve erectile dysfunction. A 2002 study concluded: “oral administration of the L-arginine glutamate 6g and 6 mg yohimbine combination is effective in improving erectile function in patients with mild to moderate ED.”[9] [Warning: Yohimbe and its active ingredient yohimbine is a potent nutraceutical with possible severe side effects such as hypertension. It is advisable to use it only under the guidance of a physician or medical herbalist to avoid possible side effects, especially if already using prescription drugs.]
- Tribulis: This potent herb has libido enhancing properties for both men and women. We recently featured a study showing it helps women to increase their libido. The preclinical research on male libido is promising, with no less than three studies indicating its benefits for erectile dysfunction.[10][11][12]
- Green Tea: A highly provocative animal study from 2008 indicates that green tea may address both the origin of erectile dysfunction by diminishing atherosclerotic progression in the corpus cavernosum of the male rat penis, subsequently indicating improvement in both erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular health.[13] This is, in fact, not the first study to show that green tea can correct endothelial dysfunction.[14]
- Exercise: One of the best ways to improve your body image, self-esteem, and sexual vitality is through exercise. A 2009 study found that physical inactivity contributes to erectile dysfunction – essentially a no-brainer.[15]
- A Sense of Humor: Living life with a negative attitude, especially when afflicted with a health condition, doesn’t reflect well as far as sexuality is concerned. A remarkable 2008 study found that viewing humorous films in patients with atopic dermatitis leads to short-term improvement of erectile dysfunction.[16] While we don’t know for sure if this study extends to everyone with the condition, it is instructive, perhaps, to look at a degree of levity and light-heartedness as an essential precondition to alleviating some degree of sexual dysfunction. Sex should be fun, right? So lighten up by increasing you humor and joy, whenever possible.
- AVOID STATIN DRUGS: One of the primary precepts of functional medicine is to avoid the cause of disease, rather than just suppress the symptoms. Statin drugs are well-known to adversely affect the male gonads, as well as reducing both testosterone and libido, leading to the well known consequence of statin-induced erectile dysfunction. Take a look at these 7 clinical studies if you need convincing that this side effect is read.Were statins effective at preventing heart disease, it would be difficult to reject them. But the fact that they are cardiotoxic makes it all the more questionable to continue on them, especially considering the severe quality of life issues they generate, including erectile dysfunction. Please share with your physician our research page on the 300+ adverse effects of statins to come up with a more reasonable approach to cardiovascular disease prevention.
- AVOID Anti-Depressants: Perhaps surprisingly, antidepressant drugs have been found to be a major cause of sexual dysfunction. A 2006 study found that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), e.g. Prozac, Paxil, are associated with sexual dysfunction in 95.6% of women and 97.9% men.[17] What a misnomer! What could be more depressing than killing your sexual desire with a pharmaceutical Band-Aid?

கவியரசு பிறந்த தின சிறப்பு பகிர்வு..
''வெறும் முத்தையா என்றால் மதிப்பிருக்காது என்று தோன்றியது. கவிஞன் என்பவனுக்கு ஒரு தனிப் பெயர், 'கவிதைப் பெயர்' தேவை என்று பட்டது. பஸ்ஸில் போகும் போது யோசித்தேன். எட்டாவது மகன் கண்ணன். நானும் எட்டாவது மகன். ஏன் கண்ணன் என்றே வைத்துக்கொள்ளக்கூடாது? அது, நல்ல பெயர்தான். ஆனால், வெறும் கண்ணனா? அந்தக் காலத்தில் பிரபலமான கவிஞர்கள் எல்லோரும் ஏதாவது தாசனாகவே இருந்தார்கள் - பாரதிதாசன், கம்பதாசன்... அவ்வளவுதான்! கண்ண தாசன் பிறந்துவிட்டான்.''
அப்போதைய முதல்வர் புரட்சித்தலைவர் இதை கேள்விப்பட்டு , இனி ஒரு கணம்கூட அவருக்கு மின் தடை ஏற்படாமல் பார்த்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள் என கோபமாக அதிகாரிகளுக்கு ஆணையிட்டார்.

What is Production Irons shaping ?
Shaping Technologies – Production Plants
Hydraulic Rotary Transfer Machines
Hydraulic machine technology is mainly used for the production of large series. Each workpiece to be machined is partially processed at each station until it is finally produced. This is because all turning, milling and drilling operations are carried out simultaneously, thus enabling economical and complete production. In addition, the hydraulic and CNC-controlled machines ensure the machining of highly complex parts in a short time frame.
Cam-Controlled Multi-Spindle Lathes
Cam-controlled multi-spindle lathes are impressive by virtue of their high cycle rates and efficiency. Robust and easy-to-maintain, these machines allow high-precision production of turned parts with diameters from 5 to 26 millimeters while enabling process-safe production of large series at consistently high quality levels.
CNC Single-Spindle Lathes
CNC single-spindle lathes are ideally suited for production of complex precision, series and sample turned parts. In addition to metals such as brass, copper and stainless steel, the modern facilities also process Teflon and other plastics. The high-quality production is carried out in a diameter range from 0.3 to 52 millimeters.
Cam-Controlled Single-Spindle Lathes
Cam-controlled single-spindle lathes are used for the production of small and very small precision turned parts. These sliding headstock automatic lathes produce slim workpieces with extremely high precision. They are mainly used for medium and large series production - for inner conductors in a diameter range of 2 millimeters and plastic parts of one to 18 millimeters material thickness.

Prisoners of Conscience (India, 1978) Zameer Ke Bandi / "மனச்சாட்சியின் கைதிகள்"
An important historical record of this dark period in India's post-independence political history, Anand Patwardhan's "Prisoners of Conscience" documents the State of Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi from June 1975 to March 1977.
During the Emergency the media was muzzled, over 100,000 people were arrested without charge and imprisoned without trial. Cases of custodial torture, beatings and death were a plenty. Repression was also unleashed on defenceles people - workers, peasants and middle class - outside of jails.
But political prisoners existed before the Emergency, and they continue to exist after it was over. Today, the common people of India witness a state of 'undeclared emergency' as the Indian state holds tens of thousands of political prisoners behind bars, often for years without trial, and employing an arsenal of infamous and heavily criticized draconian acts, some of the most repressive of which are the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), the Public Safety Act (PSA) in Jammu and Kashmir, the Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act (CSPSA), the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), the colonial era Sedition Law, et cetera.
