THE HARDNESS FACTOR:
How to Achieve Optimal Health and Sexual Fitness at Any AgeBy
by Dr. Steven Lamm with Gerald Secor Couzens

Great health and great sex go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other. Too often though, this vital link gets overlooked—until now. In

The View, in collaboration with Gerald Secor Couzens, offers an invaluable guide to enhance your sex life with a win-win premise: enhanced virility equals improved well being. A harder penis means a healthier man.

In his private practice, internist Dr. Lamm has helped hundreds of men get harder and healthier. Through his years of pioneering work with the Digital Inflection Rigidometer, an innovative diagnostic tool used to measure erection quality, Dr. Lamm knows how to achieve optimal results. Now he brings his findings to a wider audience in THE HARDNESS FACTOR, as the proponent of a new kind of sexual revolution.

Unfortunately, too many men avoid doctor visits. Dr. Lamm wants to change that. As he notes in his preface to THE HARDNESS FACTOR, “It has always been very clear to me that men need some kind of motivating force to bring about positive health changes. And when you think of men and think of motivation, I think of one thing only: sex….Once men start to connect the dots, once they fully understand that good health and a hard erection are synonymous, they will begin to take better care of themselves. ”

Dr Lamm asserts that changes in erection are not only sexually frustrating, but can also be a red flag for more serious underlying health problems. Heart disease, diabetes, prostate and colon conditions can all contribute to a diminished erection. Depression and sleep disorders can also cause performance problems. That is why, according to Dr. Lamm, it is so critical for men to be proactive about their health, even if it takes a nudge from a partner to do so.

THE HARDNESS FACTOR is designed to steer couples in the right direction, towards better mental and physical health and a richer, more pleasurable sex life. It proposes an action plan even the most reluctant patient will have no trouble following, especially when he sees its many tangible rewards: looking and feeling younger, a more vigorous sex life, enhanced selfconfidence, increased intimacy and stronger relationships.

Based on clinical research performed with Dr. Mariano Rosselló’s innovative Digital Inflection Rigidometer, the first measuring device able to record the firmness of a man’s erection, THE HARDNESS FACTOR offers two maintenance and enhancement plans designed to maximize every man’s sexual, physical and psychological well being at any age.

The Six-Week Hardness Factor Program is a detailed step-by step road map to better habits and healthier living through a plan of diet, exercises and supplements, while The Four-Day Insurance Policy provides an immediate, accelerated boost. Both programs rely on the same foundation: easy to follow lifestyle modifications that yield some eye-popping results. Dr. Lamm offers simple changes that can fend off cardiovascular disease and preserve sexual health. He suggests eating many prosexual foods like bananas, chocolate, grapes and honey that increase hardness by upping the blood flow. The program also calls for supplements like Prelox™ (a combination of L-arginine and Pycnogenol), niacin, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids to enhance vascular health, which is directly linked to harder erections. To bolster libido, Dr. Lamm recommends the Chinese herb, horny goat weed. The plans also encourage walking and strengthening exercises to improve overall conditioning.

A thorough lifestyle manual, THE HARDNESS FACTOR even includes fun, sexy menus designed by acclaimed New York chef and restaurateur Waldy Malouf. Mouth-watering seasonal dishes like Shrimp with Tomato Horseradish Salsa, Chili Rubbed Chicken Fingers with Molasses and Brandy Sauce and Caramelized Bananas with Blood Oranges, Rum, and Spices are certain to tantalize the palate and send the sexual appetite into overdrive.

Success stories featured throughout the book show just how well THE HARDNESS FACTOR can work. Easy to follow and stick with, Dr. Lamm’s program offers the promise of unimaginable sexual satisfaction and improved overall health. With THE HARDNESS FACTOR, Dr. Lamm issues a wake up call to men everywhere that cannot be ignored: get healthier to stay harder longer.

Learn Portuguese

17 June, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Portuguese ranks sixth among the world’s languages in terms of the number of native speakers. More than 200 million people speak Portuguese today. So there is a market for Portuguese and opportunities related to its learning.

Today, like English, Portuguese has spread far beyond Europe, and in addition to being the official language of Portugal, it is also the official language in Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe, and is spoken in many other countries. For example there is a Portuguese-speaking community in South Africa!

Now, if you are planning on going to a Portuguese-speaking country for whatever reason; on business, missionary work, or for fun…let me give you some help with its practice. There are many places where you can read, listen and watch Portuguese in real time.

Practicing is the most important part of the process of acquiring a language, any language. Now when you are in Canada, US, China or Korea it probably isn’t that easy to find a native speaker to talk to, right?

The following Web sites can help you out:

- Globo.com, TV, news, radio.
- Terra.com.br, TV, news, radio.
- Veja.com.br, a famous magazine.
- Radiobras.gov.br, Brazil’s government radio.
- Portuguese in the Church,a survival guide.

Music

Brazilian Portuguese music can also be a great help if you learn how to use the following Web site. Use the search facility and look for examples by Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Kid Abelha… Get the lyrics then click on the little icon of a head with headphones on the page and listen to it.

Comparative Reading

Reading is a great way to acquire vocabulary and internalize grammar, the best kind of grammar actually is the empirical one — you know it is that way, but not necessarily why it is so. This grammar knowledge can be acquired by reading and listening to good material.

Comparative reading is a great tool. Get yourself a world classic, let’s say Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, you may have one in Taiwanese/Chinese/English and another in Portuguese, done! You can go turning the pages together and enjoying your practice without the need for tedious work with the dictionary.

You could use the Bible or any other religious book of your liking. With the good book you may go to a section and read it; like Philemon or better Paul’s Letter to Philemon, a one page book. You may read it in your own language two or three times, then go to the Portuguese version and study it knowing all its meaning verse by verse.

This last idea is even easyer to practice if  get youself a Bilingual Bible - one that has Portuguese and English side by side.

There you are! Dear reader, should you want some help just drop me a line and I will see what I can do, ok?

Cubans in US Are Sceptical About Latest Events

7 March, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Victoria Medina is a dear friend of mine in Florida. She works and lives in Miami. Victoria is a charming vibrant lady who managed to get way from Cuba and into US where she is a model citizen. She has full filled her American dream without forgetting of her past. She is married and has a son born in US. Like her, 2 million order Cubans live, work and grow in Florida.

I asked her for this interview so we could get a feeling of how the latest news about Fidel Castro’s resignation impact on Cubans in FL.

About three weeks ago Castro’s brother, Raul Castro Ruz, was nominated president buy the Cuba’s general parliament. And many annalists say that if there will be changes they won’t happen that fast. I went on straight forward and ask Victoria how she was perceiving the news on the matter.

Victoria: We are still waiting to see what will really change.

How long is it since you left Cuba?

Victoria: I left Cuba almost 28 years ago in May 7th, 1980

Do you still have relatives in Cuba?

Victoria: I have uncles, aunts, and many cousins.

How do you feel this changes impact on the Cuban community in Miami?

Victoria: I don’t think there has been any change whatsoever that would impact the Miami Cuban community or the Cubans in the island as still the same people are in power.

Do you think about going back to Cuba?

Victoria: I would visit my family and my country only when democracy is reinstated to show to my son where his parents were born and his roots and how beautiful our country is.

What are your hopes?

Victoria: My hopes are that very soon this dictatorship that has last extremely long in our country is over and all Cubans together rescue our roots, our families and our country regardless of where we ended of leaving because of the government that have ruled Cuba for almost five decades.
