Male reproductive failure and infertility are quite common in alcoholics. There are very high correlations between elevated vasopressin levels and male infertility on the one hand, and probable deficiencies of prostaglandin E1 which may raise levels of PGE2 and endorphins which, in turn, release vasopressin on the other. Since head-out water immersion rapidly decreases vasopressin levels, a suggested joint protocol of head-out water immersion and a prostaglandin E-1 precursor is proposed for male reproductive failure in alcoholics.
