This week (5-11 February in 2018) is Tinnitus Awareness Week
in UK. Do you have tinnitus? It is the
sensation of hearing noises in your ear or head when there is no external cause. Tinnitus
is very common and is reported in all age groups. About 30% of people will
experience tinnitus at some point in their lives, but approximately 10% of
people who live with persistent tinnitus. The common reasons of Tinnitus might
due to loud noise, stress and anxiety, ear infection, Ménière's diseas and some other chronic
diseases. Western medicine only can release some kinds of tinnitus by treat their
primary diseases, but for the most of functional tinnitus no effective
treatment.
Chinese medicine believes ears are closely related with
kidney. Ear is the out opening of kidney. Most of tinnitus is due to kidney
deficiency. This theory was proved by some research reports which I have
mentioned in my previous paper. Some high
pitched tinnitus is due to liver and gallbladder fire. Tonified kidney or clean
the liver and gallbladder fire can reduce or cure tinnitus. We usually use
acupuncture and/or herbs to treat tinnitus.
Laureano[1] using
ethyl cysteinate dimer single-photon emission computed tomography ((99m)Tc-ECD
SPECT) to investigate the effect of acupuncture in patients
with tinnitus. The results showed a significant improvement in Tinnitus Handicap
Inventory (THI) scores was observed at the end of true acupuncture treatment
for all domains; Doi
MY[2] reported Chinese scalp acupuncture associated
with bilateral electroacupuncture demonstrated, in the short term, a
statistically significant improvement by reducing the level of tinnitus intensity,
as well as improving the quality of life of individuals with tinnitus; A randomized controlled trial (2018)
reported [3],
acupuncture is effective in reducing the loudness and severity of tinnitus and
can be a useful treatment for nonpulsatile chronic tinnitus.
GuShen Pian is a patent herbal
tablets of kidney tonified. Zhai S use this
tablets treated 120 cases of sensorineural deafness, the total effective rate of tinnitus was
89.2% and total relieved rate of tinnitus was
59.5%. The result suggests Gushen Pian had beneficial effect on deafness
and tinnitus and could effectively
alleviate aural fullness and insomnia [4]. Chinese herb decoction
usually select a modified the formula according to individual case, it more accurate,
more individualized, so it often showed a better effect than patent herbal
remedies.
From this week, we
should be aware of tinnitus and take care of our ears. Reference :

My husband was diagnosed with MND ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) when he was 69 years old 6 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. The psychological support from the medical center was non-existent and if it were not for totalcureherbsfoundation. com and the sensitive cure of their herbal formula he would have been not been alive today,there was significant improvement in the first 4 weeks of usage that gave us hope that he will be alive,His doctor put him on riluzole, letting us know there was no cure until we gave try on total cure herbal supplement that cure him totally form this disease after 15 weeks of his usage.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing positive about cure ALS condition except for their herbal treatment .
My mother was diagnosed with ALS in june 2015. Her doctor put her on riluzole, letting her know there was no cure but the medication might provide her a few more months of delayed symptoms. ALS progresses at different rates and affects different body parts first. My mother, being 80 at the time, fell into a category of what they call "fast progression" (older female). Her arms weakened first, then her hands, her mouth, and throat, and finally her lungs. Throughout her years ordeal, she was able to walk with assistance. We have to give a try on herbal supplement which effectively get rid of herbal ALS condition dramatically after her 15 weeks of her usage,she lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took her off the riluzole (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started her on the ALS natural herbal formula we ordered. it advisable to always try natural herbs at first because totalcureherbsfoundation.com neutralize her ALS/MND which surprise everyone at home.
