Natural health researchers have found another way to treat erectile dysfunction disease. By using the poison of the most venomous spider that came from Brazil, the disease that make the man became upset could be resolved.

Initially, health care researchers from America and Brazil, found the fact that a man bitten by the Brazilian spider (Phoneutria nigriventer) on the part of his penis to feel pain. But other effects is that the penis can become erect and lasting up to several hours.

Finally, the toxins released from a spider bite is isolated and purified, a kind of poison called tx2-6 and injected in rats suffering from hypertension and erectile dysfunction (ED) with a certain dose.

Health care information researchers then measured the levels of toxins tx2-6 in rat penis, and apparently these toxins can make existing penile tissue in the rat penis contract and relax. The content of nitric oxide function in the erectile process has increased in the penis.

Medications that use poison, has long been known by the people of Brazil. They believe that toxins released by some species of animals is a powerful drug to treat injuries or disease.

“In Brazil, the residents are used to treat something with poison animals, and we are very interested in the venom of spiders, which turned out to be able to treat erectile dysfunction disease,” said Kenya Pedrosa Nunes of the Medical College of Georgia as reported by Health24.

Brazilian spider is mostly found in South and Central America region. Phoneutria nigriventer known as the most venomous spiders and caused several deaths in the area.

ED disease known as impotence can be caused by various factors. For some cases, the cause is psychological problems. But not a few patients with ED also caused by accidents, diabetes and other diseases.

Based on the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC), a person designated ED if they have a total inability to achieve erection or no erection process inconsistency. These conditions happen to nearly 30 million men in America today.

The discovery of drugs such as Viagra Levitra and Cialis in the late 1990s has been shown to treat ED disease, however, these drugs have side effects, less good for the body.

Recently, health information researchers also have developed a safer viagra cream for the body, and now, poisonous spiders also be other therapies that are promising for patients with ED.

“The concept of the use of poisons is very unique and interesting. We believe this discovery someday could be a therapeutic treatment in the field of pharmaceuticals that can treat patients who can not take Viagra. Need further study to develop it,” says Dr. Arnold Melman from the Montefiore Medical Centre in New York City.
