 It is so loud that, for my own ear protection, I actually went out and bought a pair of shooting earmuffs; the kind that police officers wear at the firing range. I think this blender is so loud that it will cause ear damage with long-term use (unless you protect your ears, of course).
The Vita-Mix, on the other hand, is not nearly as loud. I don't know the exact decibel rating of either product, but I can tell you from experience that the Vita-Mix is significantly quieter. I don't feel the need to wear ear protection when I'm blending with the Vita-Mix, even when it's on high. |

 The grandmother had lost hearing in her left ear due to a car accident. I worked with her too. This was on a Saturday.
That Sunday, the grandmother called me and told me that the little boy complained about the brightness of the light as she changed his clothes in the bedroom. Intrigued, she held up fingers and he could see them. A tremendous improvement for the little guy's eyesight! She also said that now she could hear the dial tone in the phone and if you spoke directly into her ear, she could hear the words. She was excited that she heard a motorcycle pass as she was driving! |

 In most cases, ear infections clear up on their own; sometimes, fluid remains in the inner ear for months and hearing can be affected. In addition, the overuse of antibiotics for ear infections in children has given rise to new strains of drug-resistant bacteria that are unresponsive to antibiotic therapy and are extremely difficult to treat. NAC is an alternative treatment for ear infections that may be safer and more effective than current treatment.
Body builders take NAC to help them recover faster from their workouts. |

 While many loss-of-hearing and ear problems surely come from genetic weaknesses and purely physical damage, I have discovered, especially while working with older people, that hearing is as much a psychosocial activity as it is a purely physiological function. People often hear just as much as they wish to hear for just as long as they want to hear it; after that point, they may begin to develop hearing difficulties. When this psychosomatic attitude becomes habitual, permanent hearing loss may be the outcome.
For example, several years ago, at the age of eighty-three, my grandfather died. |

 Flapping Disease could be eliminated by using radiation therapy to destroy your ear drums (so you no longer hear the flapping noises). Once you are deaf and can no longer hear the flapping sound, you would be considered to be in "remission."
Hypofuelenemia could be "treated" by injecting high-grade fuel additive into your car to make up for the loss of fuel efficiency. (The high-grade fuel additive, of couse, would be manufactured by Big Pharma.)
Comfort Deficiency Syndrome could be treated with powerful narcotics that take your mind off the bumpy ride. |

 In children food allergies can increase the risk of ear infections. Allergies lead to fluid retention in the ears (which do not drain as well in infants and children as they do in adults), forming a breeding ground for bacteria. Eliminating the most likely food allergens, such as dairy and wheat products, can reduce the risk of ear infections.
Reduce the inflammatory stress caused by both acute and chronic infections. By doing so, you reduce the long-term damage—wear and tear, if you wish—from activated immune cells acting against their host. |

Florence's Frozen Shoulder
She came to me with the frozen shoulder title attached to her stiffness. Her physical therapist had worked for months to no avail. Eighteen months earlier, she tripped while hurrying to answer the door and dislocated her left shoulder. |

 Does your child have an ear infection? Hammer them with antibiotics. Don't worry about the fact that antibiotics are useless against ear infections, or that they wipe out your child's friendly intestinal flora and cause nutritional deficiencies. It's doctor-recommended, so it must be good, right? Result: Billions of doses of useless antibiotics helped breed a new generation of superbug viruses that have now escaped the hospitals and are infecting the public at large. |

 Three months into this, she came to my office, smiling ear to ear. She'd just been to her doctor, who told her—astonished—that the scar tissue near her brainstem (an indicator of MS) was now gone. It was no longer "observable."
Clearly, all the methods we used helped in this woman's recovery—even the ballroom dancing. However, the Gearshift Exercise made the crucial difference. It was able to effect physiological change when the other methods could not. |

 She wrote about an ear problem that is now cleared up. The story exemplifies my explanations of chronic dehydration and nerve damage. She was a young-at-heart, seventy-one-year-old professional concert musician who taught at her local university. She was very health-conscious, ate the right kind of foods, but drank green tea and only two cups of water a day, and did not take salt. She did exercise. One day she realized her left ear could not hear properly and had lost the ability to distinguish fine sounds. She went for ear tests at two different centers. |

 The researchers concluded that their clinical findings "support the use of ear, hand, and foot reflexology for the treatment of PMS."
Navigating a Map of the Body
Flocco is quick to point out that though reflexologists respect what massage therapists do, reflexology is completely different from conventional massage.
"The theory of reflexology is based on a kind of 'map' of the human body," he says. "Imagine dividing the body into ten wide vertical strips—one for the thumb and big toe, all the way over to one for the small toe and small fingers. |

 My patient concurred that he had noticed about a week earlier that the whooshing in his ear had disappeared. We decided to wait a month and recheck. A repeat scan showed the blockage was now only 30 percent, a perfectly safe level, and it remained like that for three years. Unfortunately, Omar began smoking again. At his six-month checkup, I again heard a whooshing sound. A subsequent scan showed that the blockage had returned. Omar quit smoking and redoubled his efforts to follow Diet Evolution. |

| In fact, the Physician's Desk Reference for Herbal Medicine lists positive results in clinical trials for anxiety, cognitive function, fatigue, ear pain in children, dermatitis, and PMS, in addition to depression. And in addition to depression, the German Commission E approves it for anxiety, inflammation of the skin, blunt injuries, wounds, and burns. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded a $4.4 million grant for research into St. John's Wort's anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and analgesic properties.

 The pediatrician referred the family to an ear, nose, and throat specialist who said that there was fluid in Justin's ears that could be hindering his hearing. He recommended that small tubes be surgically inserted into Justin's eardrum. After this procedure, the ear infections stopped and Justin's hearing improved—but his behavior continued to worsen.
Besides being extremely impulsive, Justin seemed unable to carry the simplest task to completion. He never seemed to have a clear concept of time and what he was supposed to be doing. |

Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome
What Is Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome?
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the two types of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have similarities, and often it is difficult to distinguish between the two. |

Acupuncture for Withdrawal
Acupuncture needles in the ear are widely used to calm down cravings of all sorts and have been well documented as being helpful in the treatment of withdrawal. Both the Lincoln Hospital in New York and the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic have had very positive results incorporating some form of acupuncture in their drug and alcohol treatment programs, especially when used for the pain and anxiety of withdrawal and cravings. |

 This can also cause ear popping, ear ringing, and ear noises, as the fluids in the ear cannot drain properly and there is a backup. In some people, this can be severe, causing pressure on the inner ear and dizziness.
Because the lymph system is most active while asleep, many individuals wake up with excess congestion, mucous, and body aches. As the lymph swells during sleep, it pushes on nerves that go to the hands or arms; thus, it is common for individuals with lymph congestion to wake up with an arm or hand asleep. |

| In today's medical marketplace, it's unrealistic to expect your plastic surgeon to know much about bone diseases, or your ear, nose, and throat specialist to know much about OB-GYN.
So how could we expect any of them to know about naturopathy, acupuncture, or vitamins?
Collectively, when it comes to our health care, we are like the guy whose smoke alarm makes too much noise, so he disconnects the battery. |

 Teresa talked about her children and the children they know, including one little boy one of her daughters went to school with who was missing an ear, or how at a school assembly one little girl in Delano was missing three fingers and her mother said it was due to pesticides and then there are the new victims that you do not know about until some lucky reporter tells you.

| More of the children suddenly required glasses due to optic nerve damage, and they had more chronic ear and throat infections. Everything has accumulated and damaged their brains. For Edelmira, it feels like her head is going to split open every day. It was not this way before the accident. Everybody already took Advil or Aleve. They were taking them, running the risk of end-stage kidney disease, like vitamins, because of the constant headaches from the chemicals. Her kids said she was very different. "My grandchildren were affected," said Edelmira. |

 Otitis media or middle ear infections are caused by bacteria or viruses and are most common in infants and young children. Symptoms include a high fever (103?F or higher), earache, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. Children will often pull at their ears. |

| Acupuncture needles in the ear, for example, won't cure addiction. But when coupled with other treatments, they offer a significant benefit beyond what's accomplished by the other treatments alone, particularly in the area of easing withdrawal symptoms. Quercetin by itself might not completely disable asthma, but couple it with a diet free of trigger foods and a stress-reducing strategy, and you might find yourself without an asthma attack for a long time.
This is how natural medicine works and why so many studies of the effects of a vitamin supplement have been disappointing. |
