In her middle years, Charlotte O’K. was faced with a progressive-
ly worsening hearing problem. At times, she had to cup a hand
behind one ear to hear someone’s words. Her family became up-
set over having to raise their voices to talk to her. Charlotte O’K.
began to retreat into a world of what she considered to be frighten-
ing silence. Never to hear favorite music, never to talk to others,
never to enjoy the sounds which made life worth living. She was
terrified. Medications were of little use. She felt her condition
worsening. She sought help from a holistic otolaryngologist,
that is, a hearing specialist who treated the whole body rather
than just the organ of hearing. He found that Charlotte O’K. was
deficient in essential Vitamin A. He prescribed a simple program.
Three times a day, she was to feature raw vegetables that would
offer Vitamin A. She would drink their juices. She could steam
other vegetables to make them more palatable. Furthermore, she could have a combination of fresh and raw vegetables daily.
Results? Within six days, familiar sounds were restored. By the
end of nine days, she had recovered her “lost” hearing. All this,
thanks to the enzymatic power of raw vegetables.

Deficiency Risk. If you are enzyme and/or Vitamin A de-
ficient (both complement one another), then you run the risk of
developing bone overgrowths of your cochlea. This growth may
narrow or contract (squeeze) important nerves and blood passage-
ways in your inner ear and impair hearing. A serious enzyme de-
ficiency (even if you have adequate Vitamin A) will “dry” your
cochlea and this leads to progressive hearing loss.
