*(Singing
Voice)* Ohh where, Ohh where have my smell receptors gone…Ohh where OOhh where
have they gone.
While
doing the Respiratory System in our Anatomy and Physiology class, we came across
the Nose being one of the main entrances for taking in air and then the mouth. We’ve
learnt from our teacher that there are persons in the world today who can lost
their sense of smell caused by an olfactory disease, in these case my mind set
was based on how do persons go from having a sense of smell to not being able
to and what possibly is the point of this disease.
There are
many types disorders/disease of the smell receptors. Our smell receptors are
also known as our Olfactory Receptors.
And YES!
These receptors could go bad to the point where we smell nothing at all. One’s
sense of smell is controlled by a specific process. First off, a molecule released from a
substance for e.g. A fragrance from a flower, must stimulate special nerve
cells which are called olfactory cells that, are found high up in the nose.
These nerve cells then send information to the brain where the specific smell
is identified. Anything that interferes with these processes, such as nasal
congestion, nasal blockage, or damage to the nerve cells themselves, can lead to
the loss of smell.
Anosmia
is a type of olfactory disorder, where there is a
permanent or temporary loss of the ability to perceive smell/odour, or a lack of
functioning olfaction cells. Anosmia is caused by inflammatory changes in the nasal
passageways and this is simply treated by reducing inflammation, if it’s only a
temporary loss of smell. Nasal congestion from a cold, allergy, sinus infections, or poor air quality
is the most common cause of anosmia. While most of us take our sense of smell
for granted, there are individuals who are wishing they still had their sense
of smell. Have you ever thought about what it would be like no being able to
smell? The loss of smell affects our taste and we all have experience temporary
anosmia when we come into contact with a common cold, the flu, allergic
reactions or during the irritation of our sinus.
To avoid
the loss of our smell receptors we have to be careful as to what pesticides, or
even different chemicals that we may come into contact with. The use of cocaine
my also cause a lost in these receptors especially when it is used by
inhalation, these drugs should not be taken so the loss of these smell
receptors can be prevented. Temporary anosmia is very rear but different practices
can cause it to occur.
I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to fulfill a divine recovery.
