Our attraction to others may be about having the right chemistry after all. Throughout history, it has been a mystery why certain humans are attracted to each other. Scientific research has now concluded that dating and mating is highly influenced by pheromones, powerful chemicals produced by the body.

Pheromones are natural air-borne chemical hormones the body produces to attract the opposite sex. You can't see them or smell them, yet they can be powerful enough to instantly draw another person in.

Dr. Virgil Amend explains in detail the discoveries that led to the development of an effective pheromone formula for men called "Pheromone Advantage".

Dr. Amend says, "Scientists have known for decades about an organ just inside the nasal cavity called the vomeronasal organ (VNO). It appears that the sole function of the VNO is to detect trace amounts of pheromones, and in turn, stimulates the limbic region of the brain, also known as the 'Seat of Emotions'. This area of the brain is responsible for our emotions and passionate desires."

"What's quite interesting", Dr. Amend continues, "Is it has been recently discovered that specialized nerve pathways known as "Nerve O" run directly from the VNO to the limbic region. These specialized nerves were thought to remain dormant the majority of the time, but have now been confirmed to become quite active when subjected to specific human pheromones. The evidence tells us that humans do, in fact, respond to pheromones just as animals do, and the best part is this response can be triggered intentionally".

"Attraction is really all about chemistry" says Dr. Amend, "After all, men and women have been hard wired from the beginning for one basic purpose … and that is to reproduce.  This formulation for men merely taps into the power of nature's chemistry by triggering the signals women are programmed to sense and respond to".

Our understanding of the human capacity to sense pheromones, and the nerve pathways that that deliver those signals to the brain, have paved the way to the development of this powerful formulation. "Had it not been for this understanding, we would not have known which pheromones, and the exact concentrations to use," explains Dr. Amend.

A precise concentration of pheromones can kick off a rush of chemicals in the brain within a matter of seconds, and can make people feel a strong emotional and physical response. "The next thing we know, the fireworks begin," says Dr. Amend.  "This formulation can produce that response, and while the chemical cascade may take mere seconds to occur, the effects can last a lifetime."

Developed with Dr. Amend, the Pheromone Advantage formulation for men blends the four most powerful pheromones proven to activate the VNO organ in women in a highly concentrated formula, and sells for just $39.95 for a two months supply.

"Humans naturally produce their own pheromones." Dr. Amend continues, "However, our cultural habits can wash away, distort or hide our natural pheromones with frequent bathing, detergents, antiperspirants, etc. By supplementing with a few drops of the Pheromone Advantage formula, men can not only replace natural levels of these pheromones, but boost levels to the extent that the concentration is unavoidable in their presence."

Trinidad looks pretty much like any small town. Home to about 10,000 people, it's tucked in the Rocky Mountains of southern Colorado.

It's the kind of place where the day's highlight might be a game of hoops, or perhaps a loaf of freshly baked bread.

Once a stop along the old Santa Fe Trail, Trinidad's always been on the frontier.

Mayor Joe Reorda says it's a "live and let live" kind of place.

"I'll tell you what - I could walk into any house in this town, if I needed a thousand dollars, if they didn't have it, they'd find it someplace to give it to me. That's the kind of town that we are - we take care of each other," Reorda said.

As a local doctor it's Marci Bowers' job to care, but she's not your typical small-town doc.

"She's a boon to this community," said Trish Keck.

Radio announcer David Phillips said of Bowers, "In town people know her, like her, see her interact with her. But really, they don't treat her any differently than any other doctor you'd see in town at the grocery store."

So what's so special about Doctor Bowers?

"It was just interesting," Bowers told Doane, "because everyone thought, 'Oh, how cute. We have a lady OB-GYN moving into town. How sweet.' You know? And little by little - you know, some of these media things happened - people began to find out about me. And it was like, 'Oh, well, that's interesting.'"

Interesting because before she was Doctor Marci Bowers she was Doctor Mark Bowers.

In 1998, Dr. Bowers underwent sexual reassignment surgery - a "sex change" operation.

"Gender is from the shoulders up," she said. "It's what you think of yourself inside. So the hard part and the discomfort and the reason why people pursue hormones and surgery is [when] those two things don't match."

And now today she performs that very same surgery on hundreds of patients every year, right here in Trinidad.

But this story doesn't begin with Marci Bowers. In 2003, she took over from Dr. Stanley Biber who started the nation's first private practice for gender reassignment surgery back in 1969.

"He would educate little by little," Bowers said. "And people would meet transgendered people one by one. And pretty soon the town came to realize that, you know, we were helping these people. And they were in turn providing an economic stimulus to the small community."

And so Trinidad, Colorado came to be known as the "sex-change capital of the United States."

Almost 40 years later, Mayor Reorda says to everyone here it's very old news indeed:

In fact, when folks like us come around, townspeople like Pastor Dick Valdez confess it's kind of "been there, done that."

"Well, let's put it this way: Valdez told Doane. "I heard that you were in town yesterday. And, you know, it immediately clicks, 'Well, they're gonna be doing the transgender reassignment whatever deal again.' And it's like, 'Okay, we've had Geraldo here, and we've had Oprah here, you know? I think we get a little tired of that being our claim to fame."

Still, for some, it's a very big deal. In fact, for about 300 Americans every year, Trinidad is a destination that's part of a life-long journey.

The whole community of stem cell research scientists suffered a major setback when it was discovered that Hwang Woosuk was faking data in his two papers published in the journal Science in 2004 and 2005. It is like scientists have to go back to the drawing board. Dr. Erin Lavik, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Yale University, has been conducting research in the field. She states that �The only cells that have been shown to be stem cells in a truly rigorous manner are hematopoetic stem cells. These cells are extracted from bone marrow, capable of being expanded indefinitely, and capable of replacing all of the cells of the blood which one cannot do with other kinds of stem cells because one cannot eliminate the nervous system or other tissues and survive long enough to replace them.� Dr. Lavik also writes about other types of stem cells. She writes about neural stem cells and glial cells. The latter can multiply. So she thought that they �might be able to be harvested, expanded, and reintroduced to assist in repairing the tissue.� Despite her expertise, she recognizes the pitfalls of stem cells. �Survival of transplanted cells of any type is a real challenge in the field. Getting surviving cells to function properly is a second challenge,� she wrote in a column published by MIT. She recognizes that the human race is trying as best as it can to find a cure to injuries and diseases. In the case of spinal cord injury, she has her reservations too. �Neither adult nor embryonic human stem cells have helped people with severe spinal cord injuries to walk again. In fact, neither cells have had any statistically significant, documented impact at this point on spinal cord injury in humans.�

If you want to try IVF or in vitro fertilization, just know this. If you do not get pregnant, you should get your money back. If a specialist can not guarantee this much to you, it may be time to look else. California is a good place to look at. http://shopnowshop.com/fertilitygold , Fertility clinics in California drive the new tourism to the Golden state. In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to improve your chance at getting pregnant.

Most reproductive specialists recommend these steps. Go ahead, give it a try.

"Fertility drugs: If your hormones are out of balance or in short supply, these drugs (for women and men) can get your reproductive system back on track. They might even help if the cause of your fertility problem is nknown. And you can take them in conjunction with another treatment such as artificial insemination.

Artificial insemination
If your partner's sperm just need help getting to your egg, placing a concentrated dose of sperm in your uterus will improve your odds of getting pregnant.

Surgery

If you have blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, fibroids, genetic defects, or ovarian cysts, a type of minor surgery performed with a fiber-thin tube (called a laparoscope) can help clear the way for you to conceive. Surgery can also be more extensive and require an incision in your abdomen.

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) If your partner has a low sperm count or if you have ovulation problems or blocked fallopian tubes, a hi-tech ART procedure (such as IVF, GIFT, ZIFT, or ICSI) can help you make a baby. Otherwise, you might consider using an egg donor or a gestational carrier (otherwise known as a surrogate mother), depending on the cause of your fertility problem."
