TINNITUS AND VERTIGO

A ringing in the ears, or noises in the ears is called tinnitus. Many people suffer from this problem, especially at they get older. If you are suffering from tinnitus have it properly diag­nosed by your practitioner, to determine the cause. There are many causes, the main one being an interruption of the cerebral blood supply or a functional disorder, or it could be drug-related. Aspirin and quinine can cause tinnitus.
If it is a circulation problem, then ginkgo can help. Gingko has been used for thousands of years and is the oldest tree in the world, or one of the oldest species in the world. Many medical trials have been carried out into its uses for cerebral vascular disorders and tinnitus and for vertigo, a disturbance of the sense of balance, are two of the types of disorders which can be treated.
Other herbs that have shown to be of benefit are black cohosh and betony. The minerals magnesium phosphate and potassium phosphate have shown good results.
The diet should be a low cholesterol, low refined-carbohydrate diet. Essential omega 6 and 3 fatty acids are important as sup­plements which increase red-cell deformability and a reduction in blood viscosity which can improve blood flow to the affected areas.

TAKING ESTROGEN

With the onset of menopause, many women suffer from hot flashes and night sweats. Arlene March, 56, a Los Angeles psychotherapist, says she started getting hot flashes 5 years ago. “I’d be working,” she recalls, “and suddenly feel intense heat all over my body. I’d break out in a sweat. I’d have to stop work. Then Dr. Mishell prescribed estrogen pills, and I’ve not had a day of discomfort.”
Some women experience a drying and thinning of vaginal tissues in the absence of estrogen, making sex painful. They also might suffer urinary tract infections and incontinence. Estrogen therapy often helps.
Among the physicians consulted, the most cautious was Dr. Morris Notelovitz, founder of the nation’s first Menopause Center, at the University of Florida, and head of the Women’s Medical and Diagnostic Center in Gainesville, Florida. He says each symptom needs a different treatment and advises that genital tract problems be given estrogen treatment for a couple of years at most. He also urges special measurements of the bones before prescribing estrogen therapy for osteoporosis.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION SYMPTOMS

Most patients have a combination of two or more of these problems. They are usually first given a thorough medical history and examination to determine the extent of the prob­lem and to hopefully pinpoint a cause. I want to briefly outline the nature of these four symptoms so that your problem will make more sense to you as a patient if you are experiencing any of them.

PRESCRIBED DRUGS

Taking prescribed medications with most vitamins is safe as is taking herbal complexes that are available through health food stores. However, you should always check with your doctor, your pharmacist or your naturopath. They are all trained to know what can go with what.

Weight loss

Overweight is most commonly a result of overeating and lack of exercise. Overweight and fluid retention often go together with people who have glandular problems or under-active thyroids. In such cases an iodine and phosporous deficiency may be the cause.
