Research into the effects of tinnitus - a buzzing or ringing in the ears shows a Nutritional Link

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 13, 2009 -
There is probably no illness today which causes such widespread suffering as tinnitus. Over 17% of the general population suffers from tinnitus and a report for the Department of Veterans Affairs indicates that tinnitus is the #1 disability affecting returning troops. With fifteen million incapacitatedmany at the point of suicide—researchers are working hard to find solutions.
 
Imagine the constant explosion of a construction crew’s jackhammer that doesn’t seem to stop at the end of the day, or the thunder of a jet taking off with a roaring echo that never seems to fade. Imagine the sound of thousands of telephones ringing in your head, or the never-ending buzz of hundreds of insects in your ear that no one else seems to hear.  These are some of the nerve-wracking sounds heard by millions diagnosed with tinnitus. Tinnitus is a chronic malady, affecting one or both ears and striking men and women at any age.
 
The ear is very sensitive to toxic insults. Drugs, vitamins, and environmental toxins bombard it daily and wound the nerve cells (neurons) and ear-brain transmission channels that result in hearing without tinnitus or other distortions. But, tinnitus researcher, Dr. Paul Yanick of the American Academy of Quantum Medicine says “we are excited about quorum nutrition as a way to nourish the inner ear and stabilize its electrical balance. People don’t have to suffer as they can rise above the negative influences of a toxic and stress-filled world.”
 
Ask yourself these questions: Do you have difficulty understanding people in noisy surroundings? Does your tinnitus make it hard to sleep or concentrate? Do you experience intermittent vertigo or dizziness? Do you have the sensation of fullness or pressure in your ears? Do loud sounds irritate you when they don’t seem to bother anyone else? Any one or more of the above signs and symptoms could indicate that the cells in your ear and brain are suffering from a lack of energy-supplying nutrients.
 
Are you sick and tired of hearing “learn to live with it” or “nothing can be done?” Don’t just sit there idly and suffer! Be optimistic, and take positive action. Improving your health takes effort. When you do this, you will enter into a rhythm of emotional alignment where your entire body—your brain, ears, heart, and digestive organs—get adequate quorum nutrition.
 
As far back as 1976, Dr. Yanick held the first international symposium on biochemistry and the inner ear and invited twelve of the world’s top ear doctors to attend. At that time, George E. Shambaugh Jr, M.D, a “Dr. Yanick’s symposium may signal a rejuvenation of medical otology which has languished during a remarkable half century of microsurgical innovation of hearing impairments. Dr. Yanick deserves enormous credit for his courage in organizing this meeting.” And, at that same meeting, another prominent leader in the field, Hallowell Davis, MD of the Central Institute of the Deaf stated “The ear is a living organ and nutritional-biochemical factors maintain a structure and provide energy for its function. If conventional treatment, including hearing aids and tinnitus maskers, fails to provide relief from tinnitus, then think nutrition.”
 
For over three decades, Dr. Yanick searched for solutions to tinnitus and other nerve-related disorders and uncovered the startling truth and fallacies of many popular approaches to tinnitus.  Like putting together hundreds of tiny pieces to a gigantic jigsaw puzzlewith each discovery adding another piece to the puzzlethe clinical picture of the specific brain-ear nutriture became clearer and clearer, and today, it is available in his new e-book, Tinnitus-Free Naturally .You can get this electronic book absolutely free through the non-profit American Academy of Quantum Medicine by e-mailing .info@aaqm.org
