How to look after yourself to help tinnitus:
1 It is essential to develop body awareness and learn how to relax if you want to help your tinnitus. Go to a yoga, tai chi, or Pilates class on a weekly basis so you will have correct tuition and learn to get out of your head and get in touch with your body. This will prove invaluable in the long-term and will teach you techniques for those bad days when you feel overwhelmed.
2 Find a body therapist you like and feel comfortable with, and who cares about your well being! Visit them once a week until things feel more manageable and then renegotiate how often is appropriate. You will need direct support in learning how to let go. It is much easier with someone else helping you.
3 If you are suffering from severe tinnitus, find a tinnitus counsellor or someone who has worked through tinnitus themselves and understands what you are going through. Please avoid practitioners or other tinnitus people promoting negative views on tinnitus. It is important to maintain a clear and positive focus with this condition with caring support.
4 Reduce stimulants like coffee, chocolate, tea & alcohol. These all raise you adrenaline levels and therefore make you more sensitive to tinnitus! Bring about any change very gradually so it is not stressful for your body.
5 Put aside one part of the day which is for you, where you are not to be disturbed. This means switching off the phone and telling others that you are having some down time. Ideally spend some time relaxing, noticing how you are feeling, and do something which calms the mind. If this is difficult for you because you are too accelerated, unhappy or agitated, then consider visiting a psychotherapist or counsellor who can help you feel more comfortable with yourself. If you cannot fit this in because of your lifestyle, then seriously consider changing your lifestyle!
6 Learn specific relaxation techniques for when you have a bad day. When things get bad learn to recognise that you have gone into orbit and take positive action. Contact your therapist and go and get support. Do something calming rather than allow your thoughts to run away with themselves. Practice a body calming technique that you have learnt from your classes.
7 Take regular low-impact exercise that is calming and puts you in touch with your body. e.g. when you walk, feel yourself walking and notice what is going on around you rather than planning, analysing, and thinking furiously in your head.
8 If you have had thrush/Candida seek the help of a nutritionist or read about this syndrome, which can lead to tinnitus. You may need to avoid sugar, yeast, cheese, bread, wine and beer etc to help your system settle and let go of tinnitus. There is plenty of information in bookshops and on the Internet. This condition can arise after antibiotics, and you might need to take pro-biotics to help balance your gut.
9 Avoid silence, which can make you more aware of your tinnitus. Learn to choose sounds which are comforting and play/have them in the background. This might include your favourite music, or the sound of a river or the sea. Spend time specifically listening to something you love hearing on a regular basis.
10 When you find yourself worrying or feeling negative, take positive action. Do something that focuses you, calms you down, and makes you feel better. Don’t stew in your mind.
11 Start using your tinnitus as a “healthometre”. It will soon tell you if you are doing the right thing because it will calm down. If it has got worse, try and consider what made it worse.
12 Take a long-term view. Expect things to improve gradually the more you look after yourself, give yourself time out and get support. Your tinnitus will get better the more you feel comfortable in yourself.

Cause of tinnitus symptoms
Tinnitus is not a disease in itself but it is a reflection of something in ear and brain. It could be because of:
Hearing loss
Trauma to hearing apparatus
Certain drugs like aspirin and quinine
Brain tumor
Meniere’s disease
Infection, fluid in middle ear
Exposure to loud noise
Aneurysms
Allergies
Advanced age
Low thyroid levels
Depression
Stress
Wax in ear
Foreign body
Tinnitus symptoms
Tinnitus is a subjective symptom. It can be heard in one or both ears or in the head. The various sounds experienced by patients are:

IMPOTENCE & ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Impotence refers to a man’s absolute inability to obtain a penile erection even after proper stimulation. If the condition is not absolute, i.e.; either erections are not complete or there is an inability to maintain them long enough, then the condition in general is called ‘penile dysfunction’.
Erectile dysfunction is an inability to achieve or maintain an erection, making intercourse difficult or impossible. The cause may be primary but is more often secondary, the incidence increases steeply with age. The sexual excitement is controlled by the brain and not by the Penis.
Because an erection requires a precise sequence of events, ED can occur when any of the events is disrupted. The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa.
Impotence, Erectile Dysfunction –
CAUSE :- In majority of cases psychological reasons are implicated.
Vascular disease involving internal pudendal artery is thought to be one of the reasons for age related impotency. A nerve injury or spinal cord injury may result in impotence. Impotence may be an early symptom of diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, tabes dorsalis etc.
Major Causes:
Stress, anxiety, worry, excessive work load, acute illness, low self-esteem, fear of sexual failure, guilt of sexual excesses, mental and emotional compatibility and relationship issues etc
Neuropathy e.g. diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis
Vascular disease (most common cause of erectile dysfunction in middle aged and elderly men
Abnormal veins draining the penis (can cause primary erectile failure)
Nerve damage (through injury or pelvic surgery)
Local penile deformities
Tobacco, alcohol intake
Drugs (certain antidepressants, anti-convulsants etc)
Psychological factors can cause, perpetuate and complicate erectile dysfunction like guilt. Performance anxiety due to life events, stress, organic factors or relationships factors leads to initial failure, doubt of worry followed by “spectatoringa’ in which self-critical monitoring of the body’s performance leads to repeated failure, such that the situation becomes chronic.
Impotence, Erectile Dysfunction – SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Inability to get an erection is usually the only complaint. In cases of penile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and spermatorrhoea may be found. Depression often accompanies impotence. Severe depression can lead to impotence and impotence can lead to depression. It works both ways.
A psycho-social examination, using an interview and a questionnaire, can reveal psychological factors. A man’s sexual partner may also be interviewed to determine expectations and perceptions during sexual intercourse.
Exercise daily - it increases the level of male hormones, increases the level of certain neuro hormones, which result in mood elevation and it increases the peripheral blood circulation.
Surrogate Sex Therapy, Kegel exercises and deep Healing of the Mind/Body may help restore performance levels after medical and psychological intervention is over.

CANCER CURE - LEMON
CANCER CURE – NATURAL - lemon
Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles StreetBaltimore , MD 1201.
Just cut 2-3 thin slices of lemon and put it in a cup containing driking water. The water will become "alkaline water". Drink for the whole day, just by adding more water. Take it as drinking water everyday. It is good for health.
This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!
Read carefully & you be the judge.
Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.
You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires largecorporations?
As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting isthe effect it produces on cysts and tumors.
This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer . It is considered also as ananti microbialspectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and anantidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

About Reiki - a brief introduction
REIKI HOLISTIC HEALING
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force (Sarva-vyapi Prana Shakti) and a system of natural healing that channels Reiki through the hands. It is known by many other names also.
The traditional Asian medical paradigm views injury, dysfunction and disease as manifesting when subtle energies are weak, distorted or out-of-balance. Tai Chi, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Hatha Yoga, Shiatsu, Polarity, Macrobiotics, Radionics, and herbal remedies are means of optimizing subtle auric and internal energies.
Reiki accesses the source of Life to heal the self and others on spiritual, mental, emotional and physical levels. Reiki allows the source of well being to enhance and balance natural life forces through non-intrusive therapeutic touch. It is applied for health maintenance, pain relief, and mental quietude and healing for physical and mental diseases.
Reiki augments and accelerates the inner healing process. It can be effective in cases that do not respond to other forms of treatment. It can be used in conjunction with any other therapeutic modality.
Creative energy is the essence of all healing. Dr. Albert Schweitzer said, "We physicians do nothing, we only help and encourage the physician within."
Reiki an ancient Divine Light Healing system practiced since time immemorial worldwide by the priests in the temples of the ancient civilizations of Atlantis and Egypt, was rediscovered in the late 1800's a specific formula for accessing Universal Life Force was discovered in Buddhist Lotus Verses (sutras) found in a Kyoto Zendo by a scholar seeking knowledge of what the Buddha taught about healing. Mikao Usui was contemplating what he had learned when he received a transcendental initiation, the results of which were the abilities of healing by laying on of the hands and of sending healing over distance. Much later he realized that the experience of God is more essential to fulfillment of the purpose of life than the power of healing.
Reiki is an essence, which comes from the Source of Life itself. Since Reiki is multi-dimensional it can be a catalytic factor in personal evolution no matter what religious beliefs are held. The experience of Reiki is a vehicle to becoming conscious of your own being regardless of faith or concepts. The innate ability to channel healing energy through the hands is awakened through a series of direct transmission initiations, which attune and align energy centers in the body and hands. Reiki is not a system of religious beliefs. The world does not need another. Anyone can learn Reiki; it is very simple.
Reiki relieves stress and pain, relaxes muscle spasms, releases emotional blockages, and accelerates natural healing. It stimulates the immune system; and balance subtle body energies, is beyond belief and can be used in conjunction with any other therapeutic modality. It is effective on chronic and acute illness or injury and can be learned by anyone. It uses laying on of the hands. The healing can also be sent over any distance, is a means of sharing love, is completely safe and benign. It protects the practitioner and is The Universal Life Force Energy.
The only way to know it is to feel it. If you are interested in having a treatment, look for a local Reiki Practitioner or Master. If you are interested in becoming a Reiki Practitioner look for your local Reiki Master.
