As we have blogged about in the past, vestibular disorders are a huge problem. “From 2001 through 2004, 35.4% of US adults aged 40 years and older (69 million Americans) had vestibular dysfunction. 1 The worst part about these syndromes is conventional medicine has very few solutions to offer. In this blog, we will touch on things that we have talked about in the past and we will also share some information that "a trusted alternative care practitioner" shared with us at lunch the other day that many of you may find helpful.
Upper Cervical Care and Vestibular Disorders: Our office takes care of up to 10 cases of vestibular disease a month. Most are desperate seekers who are not going to accept," you will have to learn to live with it and manage with these medications" from their doctors and are searching for off-the-beaten-path solutions to their problems. It is well documented that the vestibular centers are located in the brainstem which directly controls the inner ear information from the semicircular canals, hair cells, and other structures that are involved with balance. In our offices, we find that the large majority of people who suffer from vestibular disorders suffered from a whiplash-type trauma in the past. Most of the patients are unaware that a neck injury can affect them many years after the incident.
When someone has a whiplash-type trauma they can suffer from what is called an atlas subluxation complex. This is complex describes a condition where the top vertebra in the neck misaligns structurally out of its normal position, causes tears in the supporting soft tissues(ligaments, joint capsule, and deep layers of muscles), and becomes locked from its normal position causing irritation to the central nervous system. More specifically the brainstem.
When this occurs a neurological chain reaction happens in the body that over time can cause a whole host of health problems including vestibular disorders. Our office has taken care of over 7000 people and it has become abundantly clear that not only is this problem ubiquitous but a large majority of sufferers receive relief from Upper Cervical Care. Upper Cervical Care is completely unknown to the public. Dr. Michael Burcon in Grand Rapids Michigan has shown that most Meniere's disease is caused by this atlas subluxation complex-. Dr. Brucon speaks throughout the world at Meneires conferences, which are largely medical doctors, to present his findings on how the Upper cervical Subluxation Complex in most cases is the root cause of Meniere's.
Alim Hagan-Harmony Herb Company: While Upper Cervical Care is an amazing approach to health and healing this week we would like to talk about a gentleman in Carson California named Alim Hagan. Alim runs Harmony Herb Company whose sole purpose is to educate people about the power of the body to heal itself when given the proper nutrition and healing herbs. At lunch last week we had the opportunity to talk to Alim and while we were having a conversation the topic of vestibular disorders came up. Alim went on to tell a story about many who had vertigo for months and came to him for help.
Alim concocted an herbal formula he calls "the brain formula". If you suffer from migraines, frequent headaches, bouts with vertigo, or any other ailment concerning the brain, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), this amazing new product is for you! A powerful combination of vitamins, minerals, oxygen, and plant-based sterols, The Brain The formula offers a full spectrum of functionality benefits.
With ingredients like organic maca powder, proven to enhance memory, increase mental clarity and focus; organic Gotu kola and bacopa, both referred to as Super Foods that improve memory and learning problems as well as aiding concentration; fo-ti, assists with dizziness, vertigo, and disequilibrium; bee pollen, quite possibly one of nature’s most perfect complete foods; and cinnamon, which according to a recent study may prove beneficial in the fight against Alzheimer’s Disease; combine to make an excellent protein shake designed to nourish the brain. Good for you and it tastes great!
Just this brief list of components alone is only part of what makes this product so amazing. Don’t take our word for it, try it for yourself and experience a better quality of life. To hear Alim speak out on health listen to this video. We were so impressed with what Alim had to say that we decided to put on a workshop together on " Brain health".
The workshop is completely free and I guarantee you if you come and listen and apply what you learn your life and health will improve. Alim with Harmony Herb Company and Upper Cervical Health Centers are committed to educating the public about simple yet powerful things you can do to help your body heal itself. This workshop is for people who are seekers. People who are sick and tired of not only being sick and tired but tired of taking drugs. Health comes from within.
Health also is the by-product of doing things that help your body function better. Look underneath the veneer of symptoms and disease. Look at the cause and its removal. That is where healing happens. Till next time...Nature needs no help just no interference. Dr. Drew Hall References: 1. Agrawal Y, Carey JP, Della Santina CC, Schubert MC, Minor LB.
