FOCUS ON HEALTH
1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many as 50% of older adults and
as many as 25% of younger adults are deficient in vitamin B12.
Scientists at Rush University Medical Center found those most
deficient in vitamin B12 to have the smallest brain mass and the
lowest scores on tests measuring short-term memory, concentration
and brain performance. Another study showed that older people
with higher levels of B12 in their blood have bigger, healthier brains
and score higher on cognitive tests than those with lower levels. Yet
another recent landmark study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain shrinkage and declining cognitive
function. B12 is essential for energy production, cell health,
regulation of mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and repair, and
prevention of homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk factor that
is known to cause damage and plaque in the blood vessels. It can
also increase the chances of a stroke. Harvard researchers found a
34% decrease risk of vision loss in a study of participants aged 40+
who supplemented with B12. Another study linked a higher risk of
hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12 appears to be our body’s
ability to absorb it declining with age as the digestive system
becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux medication and other drugs
further reduce B12 absorption. The good news is B12 in the form of
Methylcobalamin sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the mouth
and thru bypassing the digestive tract have been shown to effectively
raise B12 levels in the body.

Grape seeds shown
to have remarkable
health benefits!
According to researchers grape seeds may
hold the potential to treat and prevent many
devastating disorders. The seeds have been
found to contain many powerful antioxidant
that have been shown to support the natural
healing process and even slow the aging process.
Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has been shown to
reduce inflammation, pain, increase cell energy,
protect protein structures and increase collagen
production. The powerful antioxidants can
tone and strengthen the blood vessels, improve
blood flow, making it valuable for circulatory
disorders of all kinds, including varicose veins,
haemorrhoids, hardening of the arteries and impaired blood flow
to the brain. It is excellent for most skin conditions with many
noticing the skin becomes smoother.
GSE offers a natural alternative for many people with
hypertension. (High Blood Pressure) Higher B/P puts more
stress on organs and can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the
arteries) and increased risk of heart disease and strokes.
Recent studies on people with elevated B/P found GSE to
significantly lower B/P but with no effect on people with normal
B/P. Animal studies have shown GSE to improve heart function,
reduce damage caused by heart attacks and prevent arterial plaque.
A growing number of studies show that GSE has powerful
anticancer properties, can help balance blood sugar, improve
arthritis and protect brain cells. It may prove vital in the treatment
of brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Numerous studies on GSE show it can help support
our good health and prevent many degenerative
diseases. Further detailed information is available

Ear Health Canterbury has been
providing a microscopic ear cleaning
service in Canterbury for 19 years
From small beginnings in 1999
where monthly clinics were held in the
Christchurch Hearing Association in
Beveridge Street the service expanded
rapidly as clients discovered and appreciated
the benefits of micro suction technology.
Twelve months later clinics had increased
to 5 days a week and with the help of more
trained Registered nurses and Reception
staff clinics opened in Rangiora, Ashburton
Timaru Temuka and Waimate.
In 2004 the clinic moved with the
Hearing Association to larger premises at
275 Riccarton Road. They remain there
today offering a Monday to Saturday service
and a popular and busy mobile service to
Retirement Villages, Rest Home residents
and to people with mobility difficulties in
their private homes.
While a weekly clinic is still held in
Ashburton, the South Canterbury clinics
are now under new Management.
Many conditions affecting the outer
ear canal can be treated and monitored at
Ear Health including infections, relieving
impacted wax and removal of foreign
bodies. Preventative education is also
offered and for those with hearing aids due
to sensorineural hearing loss Ear Health has
accredited ACC and War Pension funding
This safe, accessible, affordable ear care is
provided to all age groups in a client focused
environment with the nurses working
collaboratively with General Practitioners,
Audiologists, Hearing Therapists and
Secondary Care Consultants.
Maintaining good ear hygiene has
many benefits. It can improve hearing and
balance, reduce the symptoms of tinnitus,
improve the effectiveness of hearing
aids and reduce the incidence of aural
infections. Most importantly, this then
enhances quality of life.
