In order for a species to survive, it has to reproduce. Not only does the reproductive system involve circuits that regulate sexual drive and activity, but it also involves other hormonally controlled functions. The glands in the body that produce and secrete hormones are known as the endocrine glands. They send out specific chemicals that control and  regulate the level of sugar in the bloodstream, how food is metabolized, blood pressure, how quickly or slowly one will grow, and even how much an individual will sweat and produce heat.

Disorganization in this system may take the form of imbalances in blood pressure (dizziness when standing up too quickly or exhaustion after minor exertion), or with the blood sugar (hypo or hyperglycemia and eventually diabetes). Thyroid and adrenal dysfunction can be seen in rapid weight gain or loss, hot or cold hands and feet, or mood swings and emotional instabilities.

Many women complain about cramps or achy periods, irregular periods, heavy or light flow, pain during intercourse, lack of sexual desire, and difficulty becoming pregnant or giving birth. These all indicate that something is disorganized in the hormonal system function. The body is simply not producing the correct amount of hormones. Until now, the mainstream solution has been to chemically introduce hormones rather than to investigate why the body would fail to produce these vital chemicals. I recently treated a woman who was complaining of very low sexual desire. After neural reorganization she called to say she was feeling much better and her husband wanted me to know that the treatment was worth every penny.

Men are usually the last to admit they suffer from any sexual dysfunction, yet it is interesting to note the stampede of interest when a drug like Viagra appears on the market.
