I was also wondering if you or anyone else knows why the hell people "load" arginine.. almost like creatine..  Dr. Al Sears recommends taking 5g a day for a few weeks and then drop it down to 2g as a maintenance dose.. I can't find any information on "why" someone would load arginine like creatine?

Don't know - sorry.  I cannot find anywhere that arginine is stored.

I was really impressed with your idea and did some research:

I am thinking of adding it to my regimen.  One thing that I find disturbing though is the study that shows that, combined with Vitamin C, it actually can increase blood pressure:

The above is my only hestitation as I'm a Vitamin C fan...

For anyone wondering, I think nynicky is referring to this doc:

I can't think of a reason that it needs to "loaded" into tissues.  However, I can see going with an additional higher dose to get erections back solid and then you should be able to back off.  As you build the internals of the penis and pelvic muscles from a hard erection and orgasm, you can get some self-healing going on.  But that's the only thing I know about...

I had to give up Pomegranate Juice.  I was getting some kind of weird allergy to it, so I moved onto cranberry with Red Tart Cherry whenever it is in season.  Pomegranate Juice has some incredible study results behind it as you probably know:
