Re:
CS>Loss of Smell Signals Alzheim [ arthur rambo
]
I have read a number of times in recent years that senior citizens'
ability to smell often decreases, or vanishes altogether. I also
have read that it may be a precursor to Alzheimers' Disease. It
can't be helped by CS, but we share so many helpful things on this list
in addition to CS I hope you won't mind my taking up space with the
following.
I was sorry when I realized that my own sense of smell was almost gone,
and sad to miss the delightful aroma of pot roast in the oven or bread
baking, -- and don't get me started about losing the smell of
popcorn! I counted it among the costs of living into my
seventies, and resolved to watch for signs that might alert me to
approaching Alzheimers'.
Then one day, after receiving chiropractic therapy to my neck for awhile
for some unrelated issues (visual disturbance manifested by a jiggling of
my visual field, and dizziness and unsteadiness of gait), as well as what
the DC called "neurological training" exercises, I was
surprised and delighted to notice that my sense of smell was
returning! In fact, my partially recovered sense of smell
remained when the other two problems recurred after being off her therapy
and adjustments for a couple of months.
Not long afterwards, I learned quite by accident (one of those little
miraculous "coincidences" I am lucky to experience from time to
time!) about a rare and remarkable kind of therapy that had an almost
instant and long lasting effect on my symptoms after three one-minute
treatments. It is called NUCCA and deals with the correct alignment
of a very small but critical bone at the base of the skull called the
Atlas. You can learn more about in on the Internet. One clear
source of information is here:
http://www.brooksspinalcare.com/nuccaprocedure.html
There are not a lot of NUCCA practitioners around. I found only two
to choose from in San Diego County, and have been very happy with my
progress under the care of the one I chose. He also provides
another kind of unusual treatment he calls bio-cranial therapy as a
follow-on, and reports that other patients have told him those simple
manipulations have restored their sense of smell, too!

My vision and dizziness issues are mostly history, and when I have
completed the series of 11 treatments, I expect those and several other
issues which have shown improvement will be more or less permanently
resolved. It is so nice to no longer be the "pinball
queen" as my husband jokingly nicknamed me when I used to veer into
door jambs and wobble around, to have a lot more energy to trot around
our hillside streets walking our dogs, to smell the bread baking in my
bread machine upon returning home, not to mention being able to read the
computer screen without having it flicker around as if it were a photo
taken while a tremblor was taking place!
As the website shows you, a NUCCA practitioner can tell almost at a
glance if a patient is a likely candidate for NUCCA: head canted to
left or right, one shoulder and/or hip lower than the other, and a dead
giveaway: one leg shorter than the other! When I read that, I
immediately called my husband and asked him to come and tell me if I had
a short leg, as I lay on the floor with both legs stretched out
straight. With a straight face, he looked and replied, "You
have TWO short legs!" Funny man. (I am five feet
tall!) Seriously, though, yes, one leg was actually half an inch
shorter than the other! I made an appointment the next day!
No wonder I responded so positively to the standard NUCCA
manipulation. NUCCA claims many successes with pains and problems
of all kinds. Check it out if you are so inclined. This next
site is a lot more technical in its descriptions, but also provides a
list of many possible problems which have been alleviated by NUCCA
treatments.

Good luck, and don't forget to stop and smell the roses!
