Are you deaf?
How many times have I been shouting at the kids when they were younger and wouldn’t respond and a little embarrassed I must say, still does - after the dogs when they don’t listen to me…All of a sudden the words came into a new prospective for me when I, the other day read a terrifying article about how the ability to hear is reduced quiet severely as you reach the age of 65. Which is just around the corner for me.
All suggestions made in this newsletter are intended to help you to help yourself. If you have any serious doubts about your health, consult a doctor first.
By Anni Dahms
As I got my shaken Solar Plexus in control and my fear, I had a little chat with myself about how I always tell other people to face their fear. I choose to do exactly that, and decided to do as much as I know how to keep my hearing ability to hear optimal as possible.
Age is not the only factor involved when it comes to hearing loss. Just to mention a few like ear wax, ear infection, allergy, tinnitus and not to forget the noise level in a day to day basis with mobile phones, traffic, plans, mopeds. Especially for us who have decided to live here in Spain, we are surrounded by very high noise level. They say that Spain is the noisiest country in Europe.
Diet
There are many things in our diet we must consider when it comes to hearing loss. Avoid saturated fat it might form ear wax and too high cholesterol is also suspected to influence on hearing loss. Be observant on food intolerances as that can increase flam and mucous, ear-inflammation followed by hearing loss. Try to experiment with avoiding white flour and eat dark rye bread, rice pasta, quinoa and buckwheat in stead. You can buy lovely wheat free muesli and you can cook wheat free porridge like the precooked from Aurion which is super delicious. If you have a sweet tooth you can get ready made cakes/snacks wheat free. Likewise it could be a good idea with alternatives to the known dairy products. Go for a stroll in your local health food store and get inspired and where you are always welcome to ask about the possibilities. Let fresh garlic, ginger and pine able be part of your daily diet. It has an anti-inflammatory effect. Eat fat fish and lots of pumpkin seed, linseed, sunflower seeds and also lots of fruit, whole grain and veges.
Food supplement
Many of the so-called alternative supplements can have a positive influence on the so-called age related hearing loss. As always it’s important with a base of vitamin/mineral supplement preferable with an extra dose of relatively strong B-vitamin like Multi B, as B-vitamins often have shown a good effect on the ability to hear. Eventually it can be added with an extra dose of vitamin B12 lozenge put under the tongue for best absorption. Also Q 10 with a daily dose from 30mg up to 200mg which has helped with hearing loss for Diabetics. Alpha Lepoic Acid can be a good help to reduce hearing loss. Gingko Biloba increases generally blood circulation so it can be a help with both hearing loss and loss of memory. Do you have a feeling that you hearing loss is noise related, it can be helpful to take a daily dose of 10.000 i.e. of A-vitamin. To stringent the Immune system especially if infection is the problem causing the hearing loss it’s good to supply with extra C-vitamin for example 3.000mg daily. Be aware also at you level of D-vit and Zink as it has shown that deficiency of D-vitamin and Zink can be linked to age related hearing loss.
Small tips
Get your ears checked! Be sure you go to a well-educated Audiologist with experience. Remember to use protection when you work in a noisy environment. Be careful if you like laud music!!
If you suffer from recurrent ear infections make sure to use earplugs when swimming. Especially swimming-pools can be bacteria-bombs for the ears. Is the problem earwax, consult your GP to get it flushed out. You can also get a do-it-you-self kit from the Pharmacia.
After all the above physical words I was a little curious to know what Louise Hay said about deafness. In her book it says: Deafness: Rejection, Stubbornness and Isolation. What is it that you don’t want to hear? Leave me alone!
Now we can think about that for a while!
Children and vitamins
 Like us adults according to my opinion ought to take a daily vitamin/mineral supplement, the same goes for the children who on a daily bases are among many different people and are exposed to many different bacteria’s. Often children are picky and “forgets to eat” or maybe don’t eat the optimal diet which we would like them to. Wouldn’t it be nice to give them a good vitamin supplement as an option. Longo Vital, which I can remember Professor Flemming Noergaard invented under big drama and media cover when I was just starting as a Holistic Practioner, has now come out with a new and exciting supplement for children. It contains the recommended dose of vitamins for children plus the six herbal extracts known from the classic Longo Vital namely Paprika, Peppermint leave, Rosemary, Hawthorn, Pumpkin seed and Yarrow which is helping to increase defense, energy and wellness. The tablets are easy to swallow and smaller than the usual Longo Vital. Dose: 3 tablets daily.
The classic Longo Vital which sufferers from Herpes Simplex has found helpful because the mixture of vitamins and herbs really seems to stimulate the Immune system in a very unique way, has further more come out with new products like Longo Vital + Energy with Ginseng and Longo Vital + Rhodiola which I think I can feel the effect of in just a couple of days.
Hurrah for S weden
The Danish authorities are really concerned about our wellbeing – not! While Jyllandsposten (Danish newspaper) recently informed that there are more and more chronically sick people and at the same time it has shown that Danish citizens dies younger than our neighbor countrymen the Swedes. They have within the last years prohibited several hundreds natural remedies where strong dosed vitamin and minerals are now categorized as pharmaceuticals and therefore only being sold at the pharmacies. Luckily we have Sweden where it’s still legal to sell strong vitamins and nutrients such as Amino acids and strong Enzymes in the health food stores.
Anti-Aging
Anti-aging is an expression used more and more over the last few years and which I have used in different situations and about different products. The word has always had a “funny” ring to my ears because it is a fact that we do get older day by day – and thanks for that. In the future I will call it healthy-aging, where we/I will work towards maintaining good health and aim to raise the life-quality.
Did you know about Selenium?
Even though we eat healthy and variated the researchers around the world thinks we get too little Selenium in our diet. Many elderly people who don’t move so much have less need for food. By eating less, logically we also get less vitamins and minerals.
Selenium protect us against heavy metals. It’s a strong and active antioxidant. Research shows that a supplement of Selenium increases wellness and energy level in elderly people
How do you avoid hysteria during PMS?
By doctor Søs Wollesen, Medical Director, MD Biosym A/S
The word, hysterical is derived from the Greek word, hystera, which means womb. In ancient time people believed that the womb wandered around in the woman’s body causing a lot of trouble and that was the reason why she had these strong reactions at certain times of the month. Now we know a lot more.
Today we call it PMS – premenstrual syndrome, which is a collection of symptoms occurring in connection with the menstruation cycle. It is a condition that does not get the great attention and it became acknowledged as a diagnosis only a few decades ago. The knowledge about PMS is still minimal and sometimes you have to look under mental or psychological sufferings in order to find a description of the condition. About 90-95 % of all women experience symptoms in relation to their menstruation cycle and for a few women the symptoms are directly disabling.
How does the body react during PMS?
The strength and the duration vary a lot from woman to woman; but it is very much the same by each individual woman every month. The symptoms are typically divided into physical and psychological symptoms.
Some of the most frequent and typical symptoms are:
The physical:
* Oedemas
* Headache
* Slight increase in weight - typically due to oedemas.
* Increased formation of air in the intestines.
* Tenderness in the abdomen
* Tightening in the breasts due to increased influence of hormones.
* Slight hot flushes and sweating fits.
The psychological:
* Irritability, mood changes and outbursts of temperament.
* Sleeplessness and tiredness.
* Tendency towards depression and being easily moved a few days before the period and the first days after it has started.
* Problems with the concentration.
Treatment and what you can do on your own
A regular treatment is seldom necessary. In cases where the symptoms influence a woman’s life very badly, the doctor will prescribe P-pills, as they impede the feminine hormone, progesterone. Some women will get either anti- depressive or sedative medicine prescribed. Scientific studies show that there is still no treatment, which with certainty has an effect on the PMS symptoms. Most doctors recommend a change of life style. Exercise improves the mind, decreases the oedemas and releases the endorphins, which have a relaxing effect on the body. You ought to reduce the intake of caffeine containing drinks and the intake of alcohol. Non-smoking and a reduced consume of sugar and salt also seem to decrease the symptoms.
There are some food supplements and a few natural remedies, which can relieve the inconveniences of PMS. They are typical products containing plant oestrogen (phyto oestrogen) similar to the woman’s natural oestrogen but with a weaker effect. The substances areSoya,fenugreek and pollen.
As a definite cause to these symptoms has not jet been found, it is difficult to say, what and where to start with in the everyday. So it is a good idea to keep a “diary” over the symptoms and how heavy they are, how long time they last and during which time of the cycle they occur, then you can be more prepared and also take some precautions in the days just before the menstruation.

the quality products

Anni, the owner of ANNI’s VITALSHOP says:
“Dr. Matti Tolonen was among the first Doctors in Europe who officially wrote about and believed in the importance of taking food supplements. His book “Vitamins & Minerals – the way to a healthier life” that was published back in 1976 was a turning point in my carrier as an educated nurse. I had to follow my hart for the “alternative” and began more and more to work and study the power of Natural medicine – some call it “alternative” medicine - I prefer to say complementary medicine. Now 30 years later and with a lot of experience and several educations behind me I am proud to present Dr. Matti Tolonens products on our homepage. Especially because I have seen that many of my clients come back and tell me how good they feel about taking products from Tolonen like Diet Control, E-Epa and Bio-Carnosine etc.”
Dr Tolonen took up Nutritional Medicine in early 1980s. Since then he has been both a strong pronent and vocal critic of alternative medicine and he believes that Nutritional Medicine has both strengths and weaknesses, just like conventional medicine.

Kilo-Stop
A new great superb Carbo Blocker and insulin sensitizer for slimming and permanent weight control.
Diet and exercise are the traditional corner stones for slimming and weight control but a new Carbo Blocker Kilo Stop will make it easier for you to lose weight and control it permanently.
How does it work?
Kilo-Stop is a complex of two potent ingredients, Fabenol™Max starch neutralizer (kidney bean extract) and organic chromium, which exert a synergistic effect. Fabenol™Max extract reduces 60–to 85 % of the absorption of ingested carbohydrates and thus prevents them from building fat in the body. At the same time it supresses the hunger hormone leptin and the stress hormone cortisol.
Organic chromium acts as an insulin sensitizing agent (sensitizer) It also helps the glucose transporters, permitting easy transport of glucose from blood to the muscle cells where it will be burnt to energy.
Dosage: Two to four capsules/day. You may take half of them with your breakfast and the other half with your lunch. The daily dose provides 600 to 1200mg patented Fabenol™Max kidney bean extract and 60 to120µg organic chromium.
In short, Kilo-Stop helps you to bring your blood sugars under control, which is a prerequisite for slimming and permanent weight control.
