  • Recurrent respiratory infections

Add to that, scientific studies have shown that since 1973, there has been a 50-60% drop in sperm count in developed nations.  There are known reasons, and though people want to associate certain activities with this decrease, there is no cause and effect to a proven cause.


Indeed, often no cause can be found to account for the decrease and absence of sperm count.
