It shows men who indulge in regular lovemaking are up to 45 per cent less likely to develop life-threatening heart conditions than men who have sex once a month or less.
The study, of over 1,000 men, shows sex appears to have a protective effect on the male heart but did not examine whether women benefit too.
Now the American researchers who carried out the investigation are calling for doctors to screen men for sexual activity when assessing their risk of heart disease.
Every year, around 270,000 people in Britain suffer a heart attack, and coronary disease remains Britains biggest killer.
Although sex has long been regarded as good for physical and mental health, there has been little scientific evidence to show the full benefits that frequent intercourse can have on major illnesses such as heart disease.
In the latest study, scientists at the New England Research Institute in Massachusetts, tracked the sexual activity of men aged between 40 and 70 who were taking part in a long-term project called the Massachusetts Male Ageing Study, which began back in 1987.
At regular points over a 16-year period, each man was quizzed on how often they had sex and then checked for signs of heart disease.
Researchers took into account other risk factors, such as their age, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
The results, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, showed men who made love at least twice a week were much less likely to have heart disease than those whose sexual encounters were limited to once a month or less.
In a report on their findings, researchers said the benefits of sex could be due to both the physical and emotional effects on the body.
Men with the desire for frequent sexual activity and who are able to engage in it are likely to be healthier.
But sex in some forms has a physical activity component that might directly serve to protect cardiovascular health.
Also, men who have frequent sex might be more likely to be in a supportive intimate relationship and this might improve health through stress reduction and social support.
An earlier study at the National Cancer Institute in the US showed men who ejaculated through sex or masturbation at least five times a week were much less likely to get prostate cancer.
And sex once or twice a week in winter can boost the immune system and reduce the chances of catching colds and flu, according to researchers at Wilkes University, Pennsylvania.
They found it boosted levels of immunoglobulin A or IGA which binds to organisms that invade the body and then activates the immune system to destroy them.
Regular sex can even boost a woman's sense of smell by triggering the release of a hormone called prolactin, according to scientists at Calgary University in Canada.
This may be a mechanism to help mums bond with their new babies.

Abortion in dairy cattle is commonly defined as a loss of the fetus between the age of 42 days and approximately 260 days. Pregnancies lost before 42 days are usually referred to as early embryonic deaths, whereas a calf that is born dead between 260 days and full term is defined a stillbirth. A low rate of abortions is usually observed on farms and 3 to 5 abortions per 100 pregnancies per year is often considered "normal." However, the loss of any pregnancy can represent a significant loss of (potential) income to the producer and appropriate action should therefore be taken to prevent abortions and to investigate the cause of abortions that may occur. Each abortion is estimated to cost the producer $500 to $900 - depending on such factors as the current value of replacement stock, feed and milk prices, and the stage of gestation when the abortion occurs.
The diagnosis of abortions often presents a challenge to the herd owner and the herd veterinarian. Although a gradual increase in the abortion rate in a herd may be noted over a period of many years, a sudden and dramatic increase is more commonly seen. For this reason, prompt and thorough action is required when abortions do occur. Well kept records will often be of benefit during the investigation of abortion problems.
Genetic abnormalities in the fetus that may result in abortion are not very frequently diagnosed, and these usually occur as an individual cow problem rather than as a herd outbreak. These abnormalities, which may not cause a change in the outward appearance of the fetus, may result in abortion because of the growing fetus¹ inability to develop properly in the uterus. Genetic abnormalities may also cause obvious physical changes in the fetus, just as other infectious agents may (see below).
Heat stress can affect reproductive performance in a dairy herd, although it will generally cause conception problems rather than abortions. While there is some evidence to suggest that a very sudden increase in environmental temperature may result in abortions, there is little evidence to support heat stress as a common cause of abortions. Similarly, on rare occasions a cow that develops a very high fever due to an infection may abort her fetus.
Toxic agents may also cause abortions or early embryonic deaths. Cattle are susceptible to fertilizer nitrites and nitrates or the nitrates found in plants under certain conditions (e.g. drought-stress). If a cow is exposed to sufficiently high levels of nitrates/nitrites (~.55 % or greater nitrate in forage), abortions may occur, especially in late gestation.
Some experimental studies have shown that mycotoxins such as zearalenone in very high levels can cause abortions in cattle, although these levels are not normally found in "naturally contaminated" feedstuffs. Likewise, the only reports of abortions associated with aflatoxin appear to be situations where the health of the cow was also severely compromised by the toxin.
Ergot alkaloids are toxins produced by the Claviceps fungus, which grows in the seeds of various grasses and small grains such as fescue, bromegrass, wheat, oat and rye. These toxins have been associated with abortions in dairy cattle as well as other health problems.
Although the cause of many abortions is never determined, infectious agents represent the most commonly diagnosed cause of abortions in many laboratories.
Brucella abortus (Brucellosis, Bang's disease) Whereas this bacteria once caused very significant reproductive problems on dairy farms, brucellosis is now a disease that is primarily of historical significance. Virginia, as most states, is officially brucellosis-free. Effective Brucella abortus vaccines are available, although wide-scale use of the vaccine is decreasing in many parts of the country.
Haemophilus somnus is not considered to be an important cause of abortion in cattle, although there are reports of abortions following experimental infection. It is also reported to cause infertility, although some controversy exists about its importance. Other, more common causes of infertility should be pursued before considering Haemophilus somnus.
Leptospira spp. L. hardjo (hardjo-bovis) and L. pomona are the two serovars of Leptospira that are the most important in North America. L. pomona is usually associated with abortion outbreaks in the last trimester of gestation. These occur sporadically since the cow is not its main host, and it is introduced to the herd from infected wildlife or swine - usually by means of water that becomes contaminated with the urine of these animals. Cattle, however, are the main host for L. hardjo (hardjo-bovis) and the organisms can establish as a chronic infection in the kidneys or reproductive tract of cows. Subsequently they can be shed intermittently during the life of the animal. These chronic infections can cause early embryonic death, abortions, stillbirths, or the birth of premature, weak calves. Aborted fetuses are often severely autolysed. Leptospira hardjo organisms can be passed from cow to cow or cow to calf by contact with infected urine, milk or placental fluids, or directly to the calf across the placenta before birth.
Vaccines are available against many different serovars; however, it appears that the protection offered is not very long-lasting and twice yearly boosters are usually recommended in high risk herds.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause abortions in addition to some of the common diseases seen due to infection with this bacteria (eg. 'circling disease'). Listeria can be found in many places in the environment on dairy farms, although disease outbreaks are often associated with high bacterial numbers found in poor-quality or spoiled silage. Abortions occur approximately one week after exposure, and occur most commonly during the last trimester of pregnancy, although they may occur as early as the 4th month of gestation. The aborted fetus is often autolyzed. The cows may show clinical signs of disease as well, although once returned to health appear to resist reinfection. This organism may be the most common bacterial cause of multiple abortions in herds.
Ureaplasm diversum and Mycoplasma bovigenitalium are generally thought to be relatively uncommon causes of abortions, although Ureaplasm can cause an outbreak of abortions if it is introduced into a 'clean' herd. These organisms have also been implicated as infectious causes of infertility. However, it is often difficult to determine if one of these agents is the cause of an abortion or infertility problem since they can also be found in the reproductive tract of 'normal' healthy cows.
The use of an effective BVD vaccine should be a routine part of a herd disease prevention program.
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis virus (IBR, BHV-1) is a serious contagious herpes virus disease of cattle that can cause a variety of different disease syndromes, the most common of which is respiratory disease (pneumonia, "red nose"). It remains the most commonly diagnosed viral cause of abortions in cattle. Abortions most commonly occur from 4 months to term, and may occur weeks after the disease has gone through the herd. The use of effective IBR vaccines should be a routine part of a herd disease prevention program.
A cow can also abort if she develops an infectious condition that does not directly affect the fetus. For example, an acute case of coliform mastitis caused by the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria can cause a massive release of endotoxins into the udder and bloodstream of the cow. (This endotoxin is largely responsible for the clinical signs observed, such as the depressed attitude, the lack of rumen motility, and the high temperature.) This endotoxin may result in the release of prostaglandins or other hormones in the cow that can in turn result in the occurrence of an abortion. Some recent research from the University of Florida has shown that cows with clinical mastitis were almost 2 times as likely to abort as cows that had not experienced any clinical mastitis.
Vaccination with modified live vaccines during pregnancy can also cause cows to abort. Modified live vaccines contain live viruses or bacteria that are 'altered' to prevent them from causing clinical disease while still stimulating the immune system. However, there is clinical evidence that using these vaccines in pregnant animals can cause abortions and vaccine manufacturers do not recommend that they be used in this fashion. Recently there has been some discussion about abortions occurring after vaccination with Leptospira vaccines. It appears that this is very occasionally observed in herds that are vaccinating more than twice a year. In these situations the vaccine itself may not be causing the abortion, but the cows reaction to the frequent vaccination. Similarly, various veterinarians have observed side-effects of administering too many "gram-negative" bacterial vaccines (Eg. E. coli, Salmonella) at one time.
Neospora caninum is a protozoal parasite that does not appear to cause any disease in mature cattle, except for abortions. Abortions due to Neospora usually occur sporadically in a herd in the middle of gestation (4-5 months), although they can occur anywhere from about 3 months onward. Usually, Neospora-caused abortions do not present as an "abortion storm," although this does occasionally occur. Many cows in a herd can be infected with Neospora and not abort, although they are more likely to do so than their uninfected herdmates. Also, animals that have aborted once due to Neospora are at increased risk of doing so again if they remain in the herd and become pregnant again. Fetuses that are not aborted, while usually appearing to be normal calves, are often infected with the protozoa for life. A survey conducted by researchers at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech in 1997-1998 suggests that Neospora may not be a significant problem on most Virginia dairy farms.
A commercially-produced Neospora vaccine has recently become available. There is not yet enough information to decide if and when it's economically advantageous for herds to use this product.
Trichomonas foetus (Genital trichomoniasis) and Campylobacter fetus ss. venerealis ("Vibrio") are the two organisms that are most often associated with venereal disease in cattle. Once the organisms are present in the herd, they can be passed from cow to cow by the herd bull(s) or by contaminated breeding equipment. Young bulls usually 'clear' the organisms quite rapidly, but become reinfected upon breeding a cow that is carrying an infection. Older bulls (4-5+ yrs) are more often chronically infected. Cows are able to develop immunity to these organisms, although they can still be infected for up to 3 weeks before the infection is cleared. A 'dirty' white vaginal discharge can occur 1-2 weeks after becoming infected at breeding time.
Trichomonas and Campylobacter infections can cause early embryonic death or first trimester abortions. Campylobacter is occasionally associated with abortion during months 4-7 of gestation.

Ureaplasm diversum Mycoplasma bovigenitalium | Any? | Infected animals (esp. bulls) introduced into clean herds; poor AI practices | Can be found in repro tracts of normal, healthy cows. May cause abortion storms in previously uninfected herds. |
Viruses | |||
Bovine Virus Diarrhea | 1st or 2nd trimester | Calves may become chronically infected prior to birth. May be introduced into the herd by an infected animal. | BVD viral vaccines are commonly available. |
Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis | 2nd or 3rd trimester | Animal to animal contact with some aerosol spread. | Abortion is usually in addition to other disease manifestations (pneumonia). IBR vaccines are commonly available. |
Other | |||
Neospora caninum | 2nd or 3rd trimester (often 4-5 months) | Canines play a role in the transmission of Neospora. | Animals that abort due to Neospora are at increased risk of aborting again. Does not usually cause abortion storms. A vaccine has recently become available. |
Trichomonas foetus Campylobacter fetus | 1st trimester, occ. during 4-7 months (Campylobacter) | Bulls are the main mode of transmission (esp. older ones). Infected cows can reinfect clean bulls. AI equipment may transmit infection | |

Prostate Cancer
National Cancer Institute, USA.
**********************************************************************Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the prostate. It is the most common cancer (excluding skin cancer) and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the United States.
The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system located just below the bladder (the organ that collects and empties urine) and in front of the rectum (the lower part of the intestine). It is about the size of a walnut and surrounds part of the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder). The prostate gland produces fluid that makes up part of the semen.
Prostate cancer is found mainly in older men. As men age, the prostate may get bigger and block the urethra or bladder. This may cause difficulty in urination or can interfere with sexual function. The condition is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and although it is not cancer, surgery may be needed to correct it. The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia or of other problems in the prostate may be similar to symptoms of prostate cancer.
These and other symptoms may be caused by prostate cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. A doctor should be consulted if any of the following problems occur:
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Digital rectal exam (DRE): An exam of the rectum. The doctor or nurse inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum and feels the prostate through the rectal wall for lumps or abnormal areas.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test: A test that measures the level of PSA in the blood. PSA is a substance made by the prostate that may be found in an increased amount in the blood of men who have prostate cancer. PSA levels may also be high in men who have an infection or inflammation of the prostate or BPH (an enlarged, but noncancerous, prostate).
Transrectal ultrasound: A procedure in which a probe that is about the size of a finger is inserted into the rectum to check the prostate. The probe is used to bounce high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. Transrectal ultrasound may be used during a biopsy procedure.
Biopsy: The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist. The pathologist will examine the biopsy sample to check for cancer cells and determine the Gleason score which ranges from 2-10 and describes how likely it is that a tumor will spread. The lower the number, the less likely the tumor is to spread.

I have a ton of cucumbers right now and I'll probably turn them into pickles and my favorite salad (I'll share the recipe tomorrow). However, have you ever craved a fresh cucumber in the middle of winter or the off-season? Enter veggie wash. Sometimes you just can't avoid buying a cucumber covered in wax. Blah! Well, rather than peel off all that green skin that helps aid digestion, I now use a natural veggie wash. The benefits of using a vegetable wash versus just rinsing with water are incredible. Did you know that most pesticides and chemicals are waterproof? I never thought about it until I looked into using a veggie wash, but why wouldn't they be? Farmers don't want all that money just washed off in the next rain or watering! The wax coating helps protect and preserve the cucumbers during their travel. You don't want to put that "preservation" into your body! The studies I've read are scary! Did you know that scientists have linked some pesticides to neurological and reproductive problems and of course, cancer? Pesticides kill bugs, fungus, and parasites; of course, they aren't good for you! I always wash my produce in veggie wash even if I buy it at the farmer's market because do you know just how many hands have touched it? Where have all those hands been? I always try to grow my own or buy local however, every once and a while, I need something fresh yet out of season and I'd rather be safe than sorry in today's world of recalls!
Till Tomorrow…Live Green!

Interesting to Know |
Welcome and Hello!
My name is Jeannie Allen aka Jean Lund as I am among other things a free-lance writer. I reside in Ventura, California and work in the film industry in Burbank. I founded this support group in November 2006 for women who suffer from Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) which is now known as PGAD or Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder.
PGAD is an unwanted, intrusive, non-sexual arousal of the clitoris. While male priapism has been known for many years, clitoral priapism has been largely ignored apparently because we are women! There is no known confirmed cause or cure to date. The origin could be physiological such as a neurotransmitter that has back-fired in the brain or it could be caused by holding extreme stress in the muscles of the low back, hip flexors and outer pelvic area. The muscle tightness then presses on a nerve, possibly the pudendal, causing a tingling sensation, similar to when ones arm or leg goes to sleep after pressure has been applied too long. Inflammation of these areas is also involved. The nerve tingles and runs to the clitoris building a crescendo much the same as during sexual intimacy and a need for release via orgasm. Once the release has been given, the crescendo begins again building pressure which can be painful since orgasms cannot be reached constantly while living a normal life (such as at work, school or around friends and family). And just to clarify; women are not having orgasms all day and night as has been exaggerated by the media. Most wait for privacy and hold out as long as they can until they feel like they are losing their minds from the distraction and feelings. Women have tried everything they can to get it to stop, including nerve medications, stop smoking cessations, anti-depressants, anxiety medications, ice packs, and even more desperate measures such as surgery on the pudendal nerve and electric shock treatment to the brain all to little or no avail. Many have thought of suicide because they feel they would be better off dead then living the rest of their life with this ongoing problem.
I founded the original support group on Yahoo groups in 2003 when there were only 5 known cases of women with PGAD. Shortly after, I was asked to do an interview for the Boston Globe and out of my own desperation to find help I said yes. Because of that interview the support group grew far beyond what I ever could have imagined as women discovered a name for what was happening with them. At first I was very surprised then quickly realized that this is not as "rare" of a condition as it has been labeled. Because women say they have never told anyone and have been quietly suffering, the reality is PGAD is a "silent epidemic." The response to the interview created just enough fire in my soul to become the advocate for the disorder. I have continued my advocacy not only to offer a safe place for sufferers via online support groups but also to help educate doctors, nurses and all of the medical community so that we will no longer be dismissed with the notion that the condition "does not exist".
Quite a bit of progress has been made over the years. Since 2003 we have drawn the attention of the media which has helped a great deal in spreading the word. We've been included on 20/20's Medical Mysteries twice, Truth Be Told, the Trya Banks show, The Doctors, Discovery Health Channel as well as an International one hour documentary. Most recently I was asked to be a guest speaker at Fairfield University in Connecticut to a classroom of psychotherapists which was the most rewarding experience since I began my advocacy work. Numerous interviews have been given to magazines and newspapers through-out the world with the result of it reaching more women who still had no name for what they were living with. Now there is also an International support group based out of the Netherlands.
More and more doctors are becoming aware with some putting their thinking caps on trying to help by various treatments. But there is still much work to be done because there is still no known cause and no magic pill. While there has been a small research study done at Rutgers University under Dr. Barry Komisaruk, PhD which has proven the disorder is "not all in our heads" the real problem is that more grant research funding is desperately needed so the research can continue in the states and we continue to be turned down! There has been a two year research study in the Netherlands that has also confirmed PGAD is real and has some interesting results—enough that they will continue research.
My goal in creating the support groups was to give women a safe place to network with other women and the courage to speak out. It is my hope that this lends each member enough strength to take the discussion outside these walls to their spouses, significant others, family, close friends and to every doctor they see. I have also provided the tools needed by having information posted that can be printed and carried to doctors, and links to information on other web sites. I want women to hold their heads high and feel a sense of relief knowing that we have not done anything to cause this disorder. That we are not freaks of nature; that we deserve to have our normal lives back! And I want the medical community to take their head out from under the sand and help us achieve that goal as soon as possible.
Empower yourselves ladies!
Kindest Regards–
Jeannie
