Ringing in the ear known as Tinnitus can range from mildly distracting to completely debilitating. No matter what others may say, it can prevent you from leading a normal life. And even though millions of people have struggled with it for centuries, modern doctors still resort to telling patients, “You just have to live with it.” Taking high doses of aspirin, antidepressants, sleeping pills or blood presure medication may be reponsible for this syndrome. Partial hear loss or ear infection is also the culprit. When you understand how the ear works, it’s no surprise that hearing problems are among the hardest to treat. The ear may be small, but it’s actually one of the most complex parts of the human body–with thousands of tiny parts that can only be seen through a microscope. I recommend taking a high potency multivitamin/minerals and use a drop of olive oil/tea tree oil in the ear for 15-30 days to resolve this challenge.

The following tips may help you reduce symptoms of tinnitus.

Cut back on or stop drinking alcohol and beverages containing caffeine.
Stop smoking and stop using smokeless tobacco products. Nicotine use makes tinnitus worse by reducing blood flow to the structures of the ear.
Limit your use of aspirin, products containing aspirin, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen.
Exercise regularly. It  improves blood flow to the structures of the ear. But avoid extended periods of workout, such as bicycle riding, that keep your neck in a hyperextended position.

Biofeedback  and accupuncture treatments are also effective to minimize ringing in the ear.

Taking Natural supplements containing:
Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidylserine (PS), DHA, EPA, Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC), Vitamin B6, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, chromium, Green Tea Extract, DMAE, , L- Tyrosine, Herb-of-Grace (Bacopa monnieri),  DLPhenylalanine, Gatrodine (Gastrodia elata), Bioperine, Ginkgo Biloba, B-Complex, Eluthero (Siberian Ginseng) and Vinpocetine is a derivative of Vincamine, which is extracted from the periwinkle plant (Vinca Minor, Vinca Pervinca). .
Vinpocetine works in three remarkable ways:

It boosts blood circulation in your brain. It zeros in on your brain’s tiny blood vessels so they can deliver oxygen more efficiently. It even helps your brain use oxygen better.
Since it keeps your brain cells charged up with high oxygen levels, it increases the amount of time your brain can go without fresh oxygen. That means it can keep your brain cells healthy.
It helps your body preserve its energy for a robust brain and power for healthy living.  It preserves something called “adenosine triphosphate” or ATP—the fuel every cell of your body needs to function.
Scientists are investigating several different dietary additions for people with dementia. Two of the most promising areas:

Antioxidants
A clinical trial showed that vitamin E helps slow down mental impairment in people with Alzheimer’s. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which helps protect cells against damage. It’s now being researched in conjunction with B vitamins.

A large 2005 study found that healthy people who consumed more than 400 micrograms (the recommended daily amount for adults) of folate, a B vitamin that occurs naturally in many foods, cut their risk of developing Alzheimer’s in half. This slowing of cognitive decline is being looked at to see if it’s also true once decline has started.

Ginkgo biloba
This herb, traditionally used in Chinese medicine, comes from the dried leaves of the gingko (maidenhair) tree. It’s sometimes called the “memory herb,” after findings that it appears to help slow down cognitive decline for some people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. To date, research studies making this claim have been criticized, however, and a randomized clinical trial sponsored in part by the National Institute on Aging and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is underway, to be completed in late 2009.
The biggest problem with Memory Supplements is that people forget to take them!!

DMSO is short for dimethyl sulfoxide – an organic, sulfur-rich substance found in the woody part of trees. It was first discovered by a Russian researcher back in 1866. But the real excitement started about 100 years later, when American scientists started uncovering some truly startling properties.

DMSO astonishing powers have been praised by The New York Times, showcased on 60 Minutes… and shown safe and effective in over 1,200 scientific publications?

I recommend DMSO, Glucosamine, MSM, Ginger, Tea Trea Oil and Arnica for my clients with chronic pain with remarkable results along with accupuncture.

I recommend using a natural supplement containing glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroiton, ginger and green tea which helps your body achieve an alkaline pH of 7.3 to reduce inflammation instead of using Cox II inhibitor medications with potential side effects like: Celebrex (celecoxib)/Vioxx (rofecoxib)/Bextra (valdecoxib).

I recommend also using: Curcumin. safe, natural COX-2 inhibitor./Thunder God Vine. Extracts of this plant have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Studies have shown that Thunder God Vine also inhibits COX-2 and reduces production of inflammatory proteins./Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids. omega-3s can not only inhibit COX-2, but also slow the rate of joint degradation that causes arthritic pain./Resveratrol. COX-2 Natural inhibitor/Flavonoids/Phenolics. plant-derived chemicals selectively inhibit COX-2/Hops extract. naturally inhibit COX-2What is the best way for Food Combining? Avoid eating proteins with carbohydrates. Protein foods require an acid medium for digestion whereas most carbohydrates will only digest properly in an alkaline setting. Salads combine very well with proteins or starches. Non starchy vegetables may be combined with proteins or starch. Green, leafy vegetables combine very well with most other foods and should form the major part of one’s daily diet. Do not consume starch and sugars together. Eat melons alone. They do not combine with other foods. Avoid desserts. Eaten after meals, desserts simply sit in the stomach and ferment. Bacteria turn them into alcohols, acetic acids and vinegars. Sprouts/Grains: The best way to eat grains is as sprouts. When grains are sprouted, they come alive with enzymes and oxygen. They become a pre-digested food. Other seeds and legumes may be sprouted as well.
A tea contains an anti-inflammatory agent called rosmarinic acid or RosA found in spearmint has a natural anti iresearch suggests that anthocyanins may help reduce inflammation (a biological process closely linked to both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, in addition to gout). What’s more, some studies show that increasing your antioxidant intake may help protect against both types of osteoarthritis.

If you’re seeking a natural treatment for arthritis, there’s evidence that taking supplements containing glucosamine may be of some benefit. In addition, studies indicate that undergoing biofeedback may help relieve some arthritis symptoms. Consuming Beets, Cinnamon, Thyme, Safron, and basil has been shown to reduce inflammation.
The most commonly used natural therapies were yoga, meditation, relaxation and guided imagery – a therapy in which thoughts are directed through suggestion in order to focus and relax your mind.

New vaccine has been created using an immune adjuvant called squaline, that has been shown to produce devastating neurological injuries in animals and has been strongly linked to the Gulf War syndrome and the 200% increase in the fatal disease ALS in soldiers receiving the anthrax vaccine.
No one knows which strains of flu will be active in any given season so taking a specific vaccine is useless but the exposure to mercury can impose health hazard.
Taking regular antioxidants to boost immune system is more sensible and effective without any potential side effects.
Possible mild side effects of the flu shot include:

Soreness, redness, and swelling at the injection site
Fainting, mainly in adolescents

Mild side effects usually begin soon after you get the shot and last one to two days.

Possible serious side effects of vaccination include:

Difficulty breathing
Hoarseness
Swelling around the eyes or lips
Hives
Paleness

Racing heart
Dizziness
High fever
Serious side effects usually begin within a few minutes to a few hours after receiving the shot. If you experience any of these reactions, seek medical attention immediately.

A woman’s vagina naturally produces a clear, relatively odorless vaginal lubrication. How much lubricant is produced is influenced by a number of different factors and varies from woman to woman. Factors that may influence vaginal dryness are:
Intercourse
Diaphragms
Antidepressants
Antihistamines
decongestants
Antibiotics
Chemotherapy
Radiation
Allergens such as dyes and fragrances in toilet paper and laundry detergent
Drying soaps
Douches
Tampons
Condoms
Low estrogen & progesterone
Menopause, Perimenopause and postmenopause [Hormone Fluctuation]
extreme stress, fatigue and emotional disturbance
Some of the most common reasons are:

Menopause – Menopause is a natural part of aging. As a woman matures and approaches menopause, her estrogen levels drop, which can cause vaginal dryness. While most women experience menopause naturally, some women may undergo premature menopause caused by a surgical removal of the ovaries, the organs responsible for producing estrogens. Following the surgery, the production of estrogen decreases abruptly, often leading to vaginal dryness.
New mothers – Normal hormonal levels are not always reestablished immediately after delivery. The common cause of “postpartum” vaginal dryness can be the hormonal imbalance that can occur from breast-feeding. In addition, stress to the vagina from the trauma of childbirth, an episiotomy, or from a vaginal tear or laceration, can cause temporary vaginal dryness.
The Pill – Oral contraceptives affect all parts of the body with synthetic hormones. These hormones can cause both physiological and psychological (such as stress and tension) changes that result in vaginal dryness.
Emotional Stress – Everyday stress may also lead to lack of lubrication. Nervous tension and fatigue can contribute to this problem, as well.
Other surgery, infection, and even various medications can lead to vaginal dryness in many cases.
Vaginal dryness can occur after a menstrual period or after tampon use.

During last ten years the incidence of autism has skyrocketed from 1 in 300 to 1 in 600 children. Many in the healthcare field believe that vaccinations may be the culprit that conventional medicine is fearful to scrutinize.

Are vaccinations worth the risk of a child becoming autistic for the rest of their life?
There has been numerous publications to correlate Autism with Thimerosol [mercury] in vaccination.
Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative used in the manufacturing process of multidose vaccines.

Thimerosal helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in vaccines, to stabilize the vaccine so that it remains effective over time.
The use of thimerosal is necessary to prevent infections at the vaccination site. Infection at the site of the injection can lead to bloodstream infections and abscesses.
The best available science to date has shown that there is no link between vaccines containing thimerosal and autism or other behaviour disorders.

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) has reviewed the safety of thimerosal and concluded that the alleged adverse health effect from thimerosal in vaccines has never been substantiated.

International bodies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) and the Institute of Medicine in the U.S., share this opinion.
NACI has recommended a long-term goal of removing thimerosal from vaccines, provided that safe alternatives to this preservative can be found. This will help to reduce unnecessary environmental exposure to mercury.

Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative. In large concentrations, or over extended periods of exposure, mercury can cause damage to the brain and the kidneys. The organic form, methylmercury, is the main known cause of neurological damage. The sources of methylmercury are in the environment, with fish as a food source being of greatest concern. Maximum tolerable levels for daily intake of methylmercury relative to body weight have been established.

Thimerosal contains ethylmercury, not methylmercury. The original concern regarding thimerosal in vaccines was a purely theoretical one, brought to attention in the 1990s based on the total amount that would be received in the infant schedule as recommended in the United States at that time. The recommended maximum levels for methylmercury exposure were used because no such guidelines existed for ethylmercury.

The assumption was that methylmercury and ethylmercury are handled in the same way by humans. This has been shown to be false. Ethylmercury is eliminated much more quickly and is less likely to reach toxic levels in the blood than methylmercury.

Using Homeopathic vaccination is safer than regular vaccination.

Statins Medications which intended to lower your cholesterol like Lipitor, Zocor, Mevacor  are great at driving your LDL cholesterol[bad cholesterol] levels through the floor; unfortunately, they do the same thing to CoQ10 levels. They have no effect on increasing HDL Choelesterol[Good Cholesterol].

Here are just a few of the risks you need to minimize if you’re taking statins:
Inability to concentrate
Depression
Confusion
Impotence
Amnesia
Lowered sex drive
Disorientation
Weakened immune system
Shortness of breath Liver damage
Fatigue
Kidney failure
Nerve pain
Muscle weakness
Rhabdomyolysis (painful bursting of muscle cells)

There are no scientific evidence that Statin Drugs reduce the numbers of heart attacks or stroke.

Natural Red yeast rice and Policosinol are the natural equivalents which can be used safely with Statins to minimize their side effects.
Taking CoQ10 is highly recommended while taking statins and also changing your lifestyle to increase your HDL Cholesterol while minimizing LDL Cholesterol.

Adjusting your lifestyle is equally important to minimize Statin’s side effects. Reducing the consumption of sugar and flour has been very effective strategy to lower LDL Cholesterol.

I rarely see a patient with low testosterone levels who does not also have a serious imbalance in some or all of the other major hormones regulating metabolism, body chemistry, and disease progression.
Here are 6 of the key hormones your doctor should test for … and the importance of maintaining optimal levels of each:

Testosterone – as we age, our testosterone levels decline, causing us to become moody, unhappy, forgetful, and disinterested in sex. Other symptoms of low testosterone range from loss of muscle mass and physical strength to accumulation of excessive belly fat.

Cortisol – too much stress causes cortisol to rise to dangerous levels. Result: elevated blood sugar, weight gain, weakened immune system, loss of bone density, sleeping problems, and compromised immune system.

Thyroid hormone – an important controller for your metabolism, the thyroid performs a myriad of critical functions – from keeping body temperature normal and efficiently burning fat for energy, to regulating blood glucose and enabling neurotransmitters to work.

DHEA – your body depends on adequate DHEA levels to create the hormones that manage cholesterol … reduce formation of fatty deposits … promote bone growth … maintain ideal body weight … regulate blood sugar levels … and improve cognitive thinking.

Growth hormone – human growth hormone is required for mineralization of bone, tissue rejuvenation, protein synthesis, insulin regulation, and other essential biological functions in both children and adults.

Estradiol/Estrone – though estradiol and estrone are primary female sex hormones, men need small amounts of them too, because estradiol aids the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and zinc — minerals important for bones, teeth, and our immune system. But too much estrone or estradiol can have a deleterious effect on prostate health.
Optimizing levels of these key hormones could help you add up to 7 to 10 years to your life.
We evaluate the hormone profile balance using Biofeedback devices and recommend natural hormone replacements.

Blood pressure is the force with which blood circulates toward and away from the heart; when it is too high or high for prolonged periods, the pressure can become too strong for the arteries. This can be dangerous, especially in cases where arteries are weakened or clogged by cholesterol. High blood pressure, referred to as hypertension, is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease, the number one and three killers in the USA. Hypertension is also called the silent killer, because 20% of people have it and do not know it. In fact, 33% of non institutionalized American adults, and 53% of Nursing Home
residents are known to have hypertension (2010). It is estimated that the direct and indirect costs of high blood pressure this year in the United States alone will total $76.6 billion. Sixty per cent of people with diabetes are also hypertensive; poor diet, lack of
exercise, tobacco and alcohol use, and obesity also put people at a great risk of contracting hypertension. Many people experience no symptoms at all, while others experience dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, blurred vision or nausea. Standard treatment
includes antihypertensive medications, diet and exercise. (Linden, Lenz, 2001) The science behind biofeedback’s role in managing hypertension:
Biofeedback-assisted relaxation therapy has been shown in many studies to control essential hypertension. Linden, et al. reported that after 10 weeks of psychophysiologic treatment there was measurable improvement.
reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were observed. In a separate study, Yucha et al provided a multimodal training program to hypertensive individuals and also reported signicant decreases in blood pressure.
(Kuboki, Nakao, Nomura, Yano 2003)
These studies showed biofeedback resulted in significantly greater reductions in SBP (7.3
mmHg) and DBP (5.8 mmHg) than other modalities. Another study revealed signicant reductions in systolic blood pressure were observed over eight weeks in the patients who used the (biofeedback) device compared with controls. (Yucha, 2008) In some instances, as biofeedback trains clients to improve relaxation skills and self-regulation over blood pressure, the dosage of anti-hypertensive medication required for homeostasis is decreased; thus minimizing the burdens of chemical toxicity on the body.
Probable mechanisms of the biofeedback efficacy in hypertension is by helping clients to relax. In the relaxed state they are able to change physiological responses which cause: the constriction of peripheral blood vessels, heart racing from stress hormones, inflammation and deterioriation of blood vessels due to prolongued eects of excessive cortisol and increased blood pressure overall. It is also able to help clients gain control over certain nervous system responses, resulting in improved circulation, body temperature and decreased sympathetic activity. These relaxing effects of biofeedback may also help reduce blood pressure by restoring proper blood pressure dipping during sleep. In addition, biofeedback can also be helpful in managing the comorbid conditions and risk factors associated with hypertension. Please see our White Pages on obesity, diabetes, stress, and addictions.
If you or someone you love needs help managing hypertension we invite you to share this information on the benefit of biofeedback with them today.
We have helped thousands of our clients to normalized their blood pressure naturally using Biofeedback, stress management, deep breathing, full hydration, proper life style, achieving alkaline pH, replacing regular salt with celtic salt, taking high absorption supplements containing red yeast rice, policosinol, CoQ10, Resveratol, grape seed bioflavonoid extract, complete vitamins & minerals supplements.
Keep a log of your blood pressure while taking the medications and supplements and your own physician will reduce all medications and diuretics once you reach your target of 120/80. If you are taking diuretics, use extra potassium and eat a banana to replace lost potassium. Chek with your health care provider before reducing or stopping medication.

Systemic side effects occur as a result of a small amount of the cortisone entering the bloodstream and affecting your entire body, not just the location where the cortisone was given.
Systemic side effects of a local injection of cortisone are rare and usually minor. Unlike taking oral steroids, or having cortisone injected directly into the bloodstream, only a small amount of a local injection is absorbed by the body. And since the body actually produces cortisone naturally, most people do not experience systemic effects. Those who do may experience:

Elevated Blood Sugar
The most common systemic reaction is seen in diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes should carefully monitor their blood sugar as cortisone can cause a temporary rise in their levels. Patients taking insulin should be especially careful, checking their blood sugar often and adjusting the insulin doses, if necessary.
Facial Flushing
Patients may experience flushing sensation and redness of their face. This reaction is more common in women and is seen into up to 15 percent of patients. This can begin within a few hours of the injection and may last for a few days.
Prednisone and hydrocortisone are some of the top drugs used to treat lupus, Crohn’s disease, and other autoimmune or inflammatory conditions and sometimes to treat skin disorders. Unfortunately, they also leach calcium from your body and increase its elimination, putting you at greater risk of bone fracture and osteoporosis. Some studies have shown these drugs can also lower levels of key trace elements, including magnesium, selenium, zinc, copper, and potassium. You should be taking supplements to offset the loss of so many important nutrients.
There are lots of natural herbal equivalents with a high degree of efficacy with no side effects like curcumins, grape seed extract, alpha lipoic acid and glucosamines that act as natural anti inflammatory.
Taking additional calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D3 is recommended if you must take cortisone.
We use the biofeedback device to evaluate the side effects of prescription medication and the overall health of vital key organs.
