In this episode of A Couple Takes on MS, we sit down with our pastor, Pastor Dana Hendershot, to talk about one of the biggest questions that can rise up after a diagnosis like MS (or cancer): Why did God let this happen? Dan reflects on 26 years since his MS diagnosis and how faith can change over time, not always through easy answers, but through presence, perspective, and community. Pastor Dana shares the moment her theology of suffering shifted, what she learned during her own cancer journey, and why it's okay to bring every emotion to God. Including anger. We talk about prayer as breath, the difference between “God caused this” and “God is with you in this,” why joy only exists in the present moment, and how hope sometimes looks like being carried by others when you can't carry yourself. In this episode, we get real with Pastor Dana about: • Where God is in diagnosis and suffering • Why it's OK to be angry with God (and why God can handle it) • Prayer as presence and the Spirit as the promise • Theology of the cross vs. theology of glory • Hope, community, and being carried when you're worn down • Finding joy right now and why singing can help shift your mind An open invitation for you, our listeners Where have you felt God's presence during a difficult season in your life? We'd love to hear from you at acoupletakesonms@gmail.com. About our guest: Pastor Dana Hendershot is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and has served as Senior Pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, since 2011. Dana holds a degree in psychology with a focus in neuropsychology and a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, where her studies explored the intersection of science and faith. In addition to her congregational ministry, Dana serves as Chair of the Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science, and Technology, helping lead national conversations about how theology, scientific discovery, and human curiosity connect. Her writing has appeared in Working Preacher, The Lutheran, and Lutheran Partners, where she brings thoughtful theology into everyday lived experience. In 2023, Dana was diagnosed with Large Cell B Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and underwent extensive treatment. That experience deepened her understanding of the body, vulnerability, and what it means to show up for others with compassion and presence. Dana has also been deeply involved in community advocacy. She helped establish Mount Pleasant's first rotating homeless shelter—Isabella County Restoration House—serves on Central Michigan University's Institutional Review Board, and previously served on the Interfaith Action of Southwest Florida Board of Directors while advocating for farmworker justice alongside the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. *** Remember to rate, review and subscribe to A Couple Takes on MS Podcast for two insightful perspectives on this one multifaceted disease.

In this episode of Join the Docs, our ever-curious hosts, Professor Jonathan Sackier and Doctor Nigel Guest, take a deep dive into the labyrinthine world of medical research. With their signature blend of wit and wisdom, they aim to demystify the intricate processes behind drug discovery and clinical trials, making it as clear as a well-written prescription minus the totally illegible doctor's handwriting of course!How does Professor Sackier set the tone for the discussion? He compares drug discovery to dating. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince—or in this case, your blockbuster drug! Dr. Guest, not to be outdone, quips back, "And just like dating, it can cost you an arm and a leg, but hopefully not your liver!"The Docs delve into the various types of research, from basic science to clinical studies with a nod to the ridiculous. Ethical considerations are next on the menu, and Dr. Guest serves up a hearty helping of humour. The Docs discuss the importance of informed consent, patient safety, and the moral dilemmas that can arise, all while keeping the tone light and engaging. However, sometimes people go astray and medics are not immune; The Docs explore cases where some very naughty people did rather terrible things with publications - you won't want to miss these stories!The episode emphasises the role of curiosity and the unwavering commitment to improving patient care as the key motivators for doctors. Curiosity didn't just kill the cat, says Sackier, it also cured it! Well, metaphorically speaking, of course. They share heartwarming and hilarious anecdotes about their own experiences in the field, making the complex topic relatable and entertaining.With their infectious humour and deep knowledge, Professor Jonathan Sackier and Doctor Nigel Guest make this episode of Join the Docs a must-listen for anyone curious about the world of medical research.

Dr Judy Ho has a new book entitled The New Rules of Attachment: How to Heal Your Relationships, Reparent Your Inner Child, and Secure Your Life Vision. It's one of those books which explain to us, in our therapeutic age of intense anxiety, how to stop f*****g ourselves up. Yeah, I know. These kinds of books, by “clinical and forensic neuropsychologists” like the telegenic Judy Ho, can be intensely annoying. But, as an proven expert in f*****g up one's life, I rather liked Dr Judy's arguments about “reparenting our inner child” and securing our “life vision”. And I was particularly intrigued by her theory of “Dialectical Behavioral Therapy” - a particularly wild Jungian child of Marx's parental principle of dialectical materialism.Dr. Judy Ho, Ph.

[2:27] Dr. Peterson takes care of all sorts of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. She works closely with Dr. Gerald Gleich, as well. Dr. Peterson is a mother of a boy living with eosinophilic disease for 10 years, so she experiences both sides of eosinophilic diseases. She loves her job. [3:23] Familial risk refers to the risk of the disease in a patient when a family member is affected, compared to the general population. Looking at a proband (patient), is a first-degree family member (parent, sibling, or child) also affected with eosinophilic disease? Is a second-degree family member (grandparent) affected? Are cousins? [3:58] Dr. Peterson's is trying to see if and how far out the risk for the disease goes within a family. Based on that, you can get an idea if some shared genes are involved, vs. shared environmental influence of the disease within family members. That's the idea of doing family risk studies in complex diseases; eosinophilic diseases are very complex. [4:44] Dr. Peterson explains how she conducts a family risk study in Utah. The Utah Population Database is very helpful. The University of Utah has partnered with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for large genealogical pedigrees that allow tracking disease through expanded pedigrees, with privacy and security limitations. [5:24] It's necessary to clarify physician coding to make sure it's realistic and coded appropriately so that results are believable. It's very hard to recruit family members. Dr. Peterson feels extremely blessed to live in that area. The families are generous and giving. She also believes all eosinophilic families are generous. [6:34] The farther out you can identify the risk for disease, the more likely you will find a common gene that could be implicated in disease risk or onset. If the disease is tracked in extended relatives, it implies a shared gene more than a shared environmental risk. If the disease is isolated within nuclear families, it may indicate an environmental risk. [7:39] In doing familial research, Dr. Peterson is trying to develop a risk score. People are getting pretty good at diagnosing EoE, but Dr. Peterson would not say that the non-EoE EGIDs are well-established or well-diagnosed. They are missed commonly and often. To have a risk score from the extent of the disease in a family is helpful. [8:12] Dr. Peterson notes that studies of cancer risk in extended families have established cancer risk scores and related screening that is needed. [8:43] Dr. Peterson coauthored a paper in November 2020 about the familial risk of EoE, published in the Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology Journal. She and her colleagues looked at nuclear families. They were looking for how many members of the nuclear family of an EoE patient have esophageal eosinophilia. [9:28] They used a questionnaire on allergies, food allergies, and symptoms. They pulled in around 70 first-degree family members and scoped them for eosinophilia, pulled the records on the rest of the family members if they had been scoped, and assessed the risk for eosinophilia. [9:51] Including the records, and assuming that everyone who hadn't had an endoscopy was negative, they found the risk for esophageal eosinophilia in first-degree family members was 14%, bordering on the familial risk for celiac disease. It's probably higher since they assumed anyone who hadn't been scoped didn't have eosinophilia. [10:19] They called it esophageal eosinophilia, because the guidelines for diagnosing EoE suggest that the patient must complain of symptoms, and these family members did not have symptoms. It was interesting to find this high prevalence of eosinophilia in the nuclear family members of EoE patients. They had a higher risk of allergy, as well. [11:14] Dr. Peterson explains the differences between esophageal eosinophilia and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Esophageal eosinophilia means eosinophils are in the esophagus, >15 per high-power field in a biopsy. That could qualify as EoE when you go through the criteria of symptoms. [12:19] We call it esophageal eosinophilia while we rule out everything else that could cause that cell to get recruited into the esophagus. It could be an allergic reaction to a medication, larger eosinophilic disorders, or parasitic infections. Esophageal eosinophilia means you had that initial biopsy that puts you at risk for EoE. [13:06] You have to go down the diagnostic steps: Do I have symptoms? Do I have anything else that explains it? If you have nothing else that explains the eosinophils, and you have esophageal dysfunction, then you can call it EoE. [13:33] Dr. Peterson, speaking personally, believes that educating doctors to ask patients about EoE symptoms would be useful in diagnosing EoE. People cope. You don't want to focus on your symptoms because you want to be able to focus on your life. If symptoms aren't brought to a doctor's attention, a diagnosis can get missed. [16:47] Dr. Peterson discusses risks for EoE in families where allergies are present. Dr. Peterson is involved currently in another familial study to find more information about the risk of EoE where there are allergies in a family. In the preliminary data, it looks like there is a link with asthma. Asthma and EoE in a family seem to track together. [17:31] The risk of EoE seems to be higher with additional allergies within a family. Dr. Peterson says they are cleaning up the data to get a better answer. It appears that allergies in general go along with some of the genes that have been identified in EoE. Watch for Dr. Peterson's papers going forward! [19:05] They looked at around 300 eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) patients and about 170 eosinophilic colitis (EoC) patients. If you have a proband with EoE, is there a higher family risk of having EGE or EoC? It looks like EoE puts you at higher risk of these other conditions. But with such low numbers in the study, the jury is still out. [20:37] They looked at EGE codes because there is a subset of patients who have eosinophilic disease in their stomach and small bowel who don't have EoE. They found that in patients who have eosinophilic disease in the stomach or the small bowel, EoE is still commonly seen throughout families. EoE seems to be a common theme. [21:54] Down the road, Dr. Peterson hopes to be able to identify enough families that they might be able to start looking at genes that might put people at risk for more extensive disease. [23:07] Dr. Peterson discusses the difficulty in diagnosing eosinophilic colitis, inflammatory bowel disorder, and other disorders. Having eosinophils does not categorize you as an EGID patient. There are other disorders where eosinophils are present. We need a better understanding of eosinophilic colitis. [25:21] Eosinophilic asthma and eosinophilic fasciitis are disorders that Dr. Peterson has not studied but are in the Institutional Review Board approved documentation for future study. [26:18] Dr. Peterson addresses whether your degree of risk for an EGID increases if you have an immediate family member with an EGID, vs. a second cousin with an EGID. She would say yes, based on the hazard ratios in the data and knowing that eosinophilic disorders are complex and twin studies show an environmental influence. [27:28] Dr. Peterson asks patients about their family history, especially when they have other symptoms besides EoE. It makes her more aware of what to test. [29:10] A paper Dr. Peterson is about to submit studied family members who weren't affected, who were siblings of probands. Their mucosa wasn't entirely normal. They may be pre-diagnostic. These are patients who need to be followed. There may be things that set people up for the development of this disease, in the right environment. [31:04] Something fascinating from the familial study is the challenge of diagnosing EGIDs. Fifty percent of the people they brought in hadn't had an endoscopy. We need to be proactive in identifying diseases in patients. In the study, there are a lot of general GI symptoms coded that Dr. Peterson wonders if they may be missed EGIDs. [32:34] The NIH gave Dr. Peterson's team funding and they were able to do linkage analysis on several de-identified families that were at high risk for EGIDs. It looks like multiple genes have the potential to be involved. Personalizing medicine would be applicable if there were just one specific gene involved. [33:23] Down the road, we may find some genes that portend higher risk and other genes that portend risk where we can do preventative environmental care. We can develop risk scores to identify risks and point to interventions. [34:10] Mary Jo thanks Dr. Peterson for joining us today to share her expertise and help us learn and understand. [34:36] Future research needs to be done where we are able to recruit patients and do more work looking at genetic linkage and get to the point where we can diagnose and identify non-EoE EGIDs well enough to explore them more, including eosinophilic colitis. Defining those diseases is necessary and needed. [35:16] A lot of what Dr. Peterson is trying to do is to look further into combined diseases and hypereosinophilic states to determine if there is some gene within families that may help her to develop other therapies not focusing only on the GI tract but on a global approach to health for these patients. [35:48] There is current research being done to find less invasive ways of identifying disease, such as imaging, so people don't have to undergo endoscopy. That research is being done on the commercial side. [36:44] Dr. Peterson has been looking at food-specific antibodies. Also, research by other doctors is being done to identify other markers of the foods that often trigger the disease. There has been some interesting preliminary data. This can help patients to eliminate fewer foods. [37:27] Dr. Peterson has been looking at less invasive ways to identify non-EoE EGIDs in ways that can avoid biopsy. [38:04] What's being done to study Barrett's esophagus? Dr. Peterson speaks of past and planned research, using the Utah population database. They looked at the risk for Barrett's esophagus in patients with EoE and it was eight times higher than the normal population. Dr. Peterson correlates risks with reflux for Barrett's and EoE. [39:26] There are still questions about which comes first, EoE, Barret's esophagus, or reflux. She also talks about the relationship between achalasia, allergic diseases, and EoE.

Robert DT on twitter: @DeeperThrill Doctorate on biomedical engineering with a focus on AI Entrepreneur building biomedical systems with AI specifically; medical imaging The conversation centers on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging, with an emphasis on computer vision and the utilization of existing imaging algorithms. Transformers, a type of deep learning model, are discussed for their unique self-attention mechanism and applications in natural language processing and computer vision. The talk pivots to data cleaning, specifically anonymization and safeguarding personal identifiers in the context of healthcare. Questions arise about data storage in healthcare facilities and the process of transferring it to the cloud. The conversation broadens to encompass AI's predictive capabilities and inherent risks, including the possibility of AI predicting third-order effects of its own interventions and concerns about excessive trust in AI predictions. The potential of AI in genetic engineering surfaces, particularly regarding CRISPR technology and nanobots. The conversation explores the benefits and risks of such advancements, including the revival of extinct plants and emergence of new diseases. Finally, the conversation shifts to societal implications of AI, including job displacement, the emergence of an attention economy, and the prospects of decentralized AI. The importance of understanding the limits of AI is underscored. Show notes We need to examine what's currently happening in the field of AI, particularly in relation to medical imaging. This involves an exploration of computer vision technologies and how pre-existing imaging algorithms are being applied. We should discuss the concept of a "transformer" in the context of artificial intelligence. A critical part of working with AI is data cleaning. This includes the process of anonymization, ensuring that we only use the person's image and not any identifiable data like their name. We must also consider the storage of this data, which is typically housed on hospital servers. Additionally, there's the question of how this data is transferred to a cloud system for further processing. Let's explore the issue of gatekeeping in the field of AI. This might involve discussing the role of clinical trials and the Institutional Review Board in ensuring ethical standards. The engineering aspect of gatekeeping also requires attention, particularly when dealing with 3D data sets for imaging. We should highlight two major changes currently happening in the field of AI. Swin Transformers represent a significant development, as they are built off the concept of transformers in AI. Let's delve into the world of language modeling and chatbots. We must also consider the potential downsides of these AI technologies. The transhumanism angle presents an interesting point of discussion, particularly in relation to the next generation of technology. For example, the development of the mRNA vaccine was a major leap forward in response to global health crises. There's also the concept of generative mRNA vaccines, which use AI to generate potential cures. However, these AI technologies also come with risks. They could inadvertently create a disease, or develop a cure that isn't effective. The ease with which technology can be used in this field means that virtually anyone can make implants, leading to a new set of challenges. We should also discuss the emerging role of AI in lab-based work, such as managing petri dishes. The application of Hegelian principles to AI provides an interesting philosophical perspective. Looking ahead, we might consider what a lab kit might look like in ten years. The idea of the first version of something, and its relationship to anti-authoritarianism, is another interesting topic to explore. We have to acknowledge that AI, despite its potential, will not prevent all risks. AI can be used as a predictive tool for triaging, helping to determine whether an intervention will benefit a person. The use of CRISPR technology is another relevant point of discussion, especially considering its potential downsides, its application in nanobot technology, its use in regrowing extinct plants, the potential for new diseases arising from its use, and the systematics of finding new plant species in places like the Amazon. Let's also consider the case of the dodo and the role of technology in its extinction. With a small sample size, AI can predict certain outcomes, a feature that can be beneficial in various fields. Most plant species are discovered rather than created, and AI can potentially help in predicting where these new species might be found. The question arises: is AI better at predicting the future? It can certainly help us see larger scale patterns that we aren't aware of. However, the act of predicting the future can create its own issues, akin to the Oracle of Delphi dilemma. For instance, can AI predict the third-order effects of its own intervention? By revealing patterns, AI becomes a more effective tool. The more layers of patterns it can show us, the better. AI and Medical Imaging: AI is increasingly being used in medical imaging, particularly through deep learning techniques. These have applications in MRI, CT, and PET scans, enhancing image reconstruction, quality, and efficiency. While impressive progress has been made, the technology still needs further development before it can be widely applied in clinical settings Transformers: Introduced in 2017, transformers are a type of deep learning model used primarily in natural language processing and computer vision. They're distinguished by their use of self-attention, enabling them to process the entire input data all at once, rather than sequentially as in Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). This allows for more parallelization and thus reduces training times. Transformers have become the model of choice for many NLP problems, replacing RNN models such as long short-term memory (LSTM)

We then talk about psychological issues and how many experiences are no longer able to be tested because of Institutional Review Board's which ties into individualism and collectivism. The use of drugs to solve issues and our differing opinions on use leads to a great conversation about morals, which brings in the morality of politics and Artificial Intelligence stealing our jobs in America.

Why does the FDA have three systems in place to address and handle risk related to medical devices? Each system serves a different purpose, but are all three actually necessary?In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Jon Speer talks to Mike Drues from Vascular Sciences about FDA's three systems of risk for medical devices and the unique interdependencies and distinctions between them.Some highlights of this episode include:Three systems for medical device risk from FDA: product classification, significant vs. nonsignificant risk, software level of concern.The FDA's classification system handles risk by classifying medical devices as Class I, II, or III. The higher the class, the higher the risk. The lower the class, the lower the risk. Yet, risk is a broad subject and there are a ton of exceptions.Also, classification numbers/levels used by the FDA in the United States do not translate in a linear way to those in the European Union (EU) and elsewhere. There are similar systems but different rules that are philosophically different. The significant vs. nonsignificant risk system focuses on clinical trials for medical devices. All clinical evaluations of investigational devices, unless exempt, must have an approved investigational device exemption (IDE).The software level of concern is important because it determines the level of documentation required for software development. The default classification for any new medical device is Class III. If it's a new device, it's not well-established and the benefits and risks are relatively unknown.When it comes to labeling, say anything as long as you can prove and support it. When technology stays the same but the labeling claim changes, risk changes. The determination of significant or nonsignificant risk is not made by the FDA or Institutional Review Board (IRB), but the medical device company.The software level of concern consists of Class a, b, and c. Does the software have no possibility of causing injury or damage to health? Is non-serious injury possible? Or, is serious injury or death possible?Memorable quotes by Mike Drues:“Theoretically, the classification of your medical device depends on risk. In other words, the higher the class, the higher the risk. The lower the class, the lower the risk.”“The default classification for any new medical device is Class III, which basically means we set the bar at the highest possible level.”“Oftentimes in regulation, we do things not because they make sense, but because that's the way we've done them in the past.” “The determination of significant or nonsignificant risk is not up to the FDA. It's not even up to your IRB, or Institutional Review Board, it's up to the company.”Links:FDA - Classify Your Medical DeviceFDA - Significant Risk and Nonsignificant RiskFDA - Software Level of ConcernFDA - Product Code Classification DatabaseInvestigational Device Exemption (IDE)De Novo Classification ProcessCenter for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)Requests for Feedback and Meetings for Medical Device SubmissionsMike Drues on LinkedInGreenlight Guru Webinar - Advanced Strategies and Tactics for Using the De Novo PathwayGreenlight Guru Webinar - Understanding the Medical Device Classification SystemGreenlight Guru Podcast EP 37: Significant Risk vs. Nonsignificant Risk Devices - What's the Difference?

In this episode, we chat with Kevin Gardner. Kevin is a close friend and colleague and has a unique background to learn from. We discuss why Kevin became a nurse, what was his first nursing job and why he chose such a specialty. His eventual departure from emergency medicine and into heart and vascular nursing and finally into his current role as a clinical research trials coordinator. Kevin has a passion for positivity and also brings with him his experiences of leadership with a unique strategy shared in which he learned from the Boy Scouts. Finally, Kevin goes into the levels of evidence (https://libguides.winona.edu/c.php?g=11614&p=61584) and why they are so important for nursing. Other notes include the importance for a nursing model of research within the hospital; utilizing a healthy amount of clinical inquiry; why the Institutional Review Board matters when doing a project of any type; what to possibly expect with your first trauma patient; why it is important to learn how to handle death and more. Kevin Gardner is the Manager of Clinical Research Operations for Heart and Vascular Trials. Focusing of the advancement of heart and vascular medicine and patient safety, Gardner oversees two teams of clinical research professionals who prepare, direct, and coordinate over 60 clinical research projects (over 25 investigator-initiates studies and over 35 sponsored clinical trials). Gardner is a certified emergency nurse by the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing and certified clinical research coordinator Academy of Clinical Research Professionals. Gardner has served two terms as President of Central Northeast Pennsylvania Chapter of the Association of Clinical Research Professionals and served as Chair of the Nursing Research and Evidenced-Based Practice Council at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. As Chair, Gardner introduced a journal club that allows the council to provide evidenced-based practice recommendations. Gardner co-authored an article in Applied Nursing Research, “Implementing and Sustaining Evidence Based Practice through a Nursing Journal Club,” (2016) to share the success of the journal club. Gardner is currently working on a master's degree in clinical research operations and management.
Jeff Abraham is a man dedicated to doing the right thing. After winning a court case against Hyundai who asked him to actively discriminate against female and African American candidates in 1999, he moved to Promescent as CEO, a company founded by his late friend, Dr. Ronald Gilbert. Jeff has continued his legacy by fulfilling his companies dreams in his honor. In addition to this Jeff has spent the last decade advocating sexual health and wellness by educating the public on the importance of intimacy and how to resolve common sexual dysfunctions. Premature Ejaculation Can Cause Erectile Dysfunction Jeff learned that 10% to 15% of erectile dysfunction cases are misdiagnosed cases of premature ejaculation. He clarifies that premature ejaculation is diagnosed when a man suffers from a complete inability to have sex, masturbate, or engage in oral or anal sex for more than 90 seconds without ejaculating. He explains that having clinical PE often causes erectile dysfunction, as when men are aware that PE is going to be the result of sexual play, anxiety can prevent an erection from forming. He says clinicians often diagnose this as ED, but as treating the PE would also cure the ED, a PE diagnosis and treatment is more correct. Healthy Male and Female Climaxes, “The Orgasm Gap.” According to Jeff, a healthy male climaxes after an average of five minutes of sexual stimulation. Meanwhile, he reports that women who are capable of orgasms from penetration take an average of 18 minutes of thrusting to reach orgasm. This gap in climaxes is called the “arousal gap” or “orgasm gap” among sex therapists and neurologists. He points out that even healthy males have good reason to want to last longer, even if they don't meet the diagnostic criteria for PE. He hopes that treatment for longer-lasting sex becomes more respected and acknowledged by the medical community. Causes of Premature Ejaculation Jeff reminds us that premature ejaculation has been needlessly stigmatized. People claim that men ejaculate early due to not caring enough about their partners or not having the mental fortitude to wait longer to orgasm. Jeff admits that some cases of premature ejaculation are psychological in nature, but he lists hypersensitive penile nerves, prostatitis, and low testosterone as some of the physical causes of the condition. Due to the number of physical causes of PE, he hopes that we can reject the notion that men with PE don't care about their partners or that they're mentally weak. PE is a problem with physical roots and as real and treatable as diabetes or cancer. He advocates a combination of behavioral therapy and products like Promescent or SSRIs to help men build confidence and overcome their physical and psychological difficulties. Consequences of Premature Ejaculation Jeff points out that PE destroys men's confidence and limits their ability to satisfy their partners. This lack of confidence, he suggests, isn't confined to the bedroom, but extends to all aspects of life. He calls it the layering effect, which he describes as a sort of chain reaction. In the layering effect he describes, PE can lead to lowered sexual confidence, which leads to being less amorous, which leads to the PE sufferer's partner feeling unattractive due to the lack of sexual attention, and finally leads to a disconnect between the members of the couple. He says he's seen this happen over and over again, all without people realizing that the root of their problems is a single, treatable issue. Jeff advises men not to avoid sex due to PE, pointing out that this leads to men having less control over his own ejaculation, and creates a less pleasant sexual experience than the couple had before. How to Approach Your Partner About PE When approached by women on how to tackle PE with their partners, Jeff suggests setting up a special date night with any sexual accessories you and your partner find enjoyable. He goes on to suggest offering Promescent to your partner as one way to enhance the evening, noting this works better than discussing the problem directly. Jeff shares that this method allows the use of Promescent to be physically and figuratively within your partner's control, a circumstance that he asserts is important for men. When couples use his method, he claims it's often the case that men will try the product, see that it works and improves the experience, and will usually decide to use it more often to enjoy their sex lives consistently. How Promescent Works Unlike its competitor products, which numb the area, this new treatment uses a specific formulation of lidocaine, to create a eutectic formula that can penetrate the outer layer of the skin and be deposited in the fatty tissue underneath the skin, where it can help to better control ejaculation. While the product may have a medicinal aftertaste, he says they're working on neutral, coconut, and citrus flavors to remedy that problem right now. Who Should Use Promescent Jeff emphasizes that the product is for couples, not just men. Sex, he implies, affords a level of intimacy that's important in relationships, and Promescent is just one product that can help that emotional and physical intimacy last longer. He observes that sex is a huge part of life and reiterates that if you're not confident and don't feel good about it, you need to do something or see someone. “Just like we have personal trainers for fitness and coaches for businessmen”, he remarks, “sex therapists are an important part of human health and wellness.” Jeff talks about how men feel the need to hold off climaxing, and he discusses the fact that their desire to last longer provokes a lot of anxiety. He doesn't believe that intimacy should be about anxiety, it should be an enjoyable experience, and making it easier for men to last longer facilitates that for both parties. How Credible Are Promescent's Claims? Jeff is proud to share that Promescent is the most recommended treatment by Urologists today. He's equally proud of the fact that Promescent was found to have statistically significant results in an Institutional Review Board certified study. These elements differentiate their product from the competition by building credibility that can be relayed through physicians or by patients self-diagnosing PE online.
