Usher's Syndrome

Overview & Our Approach to Usher Syndrome

Usher’s Syndrome is a challenging condition, often undetected without comprehensive testing. It progresses with simultaneous hearing and vision loss, impacting quality of life significantly before diagnosis. This syndrome primarily affects night and peripheral vision, making it seem like you’re looking through a tunnel. Additionally, most people with Usher’s Syndrome also experience severe balance problems.

Conventional treatments focus on managing symptoms but may overlook other critical factors contributing to retinal and auditory nerve damage. Our approach includes:

Reducing Autoimmune Responses: Utilizing acupuncture, supplements, and at-home devices to help manage autoimmune responses attacking retinal and auditory nerves.
Preserving Retinal and Auditory Nerve Health: Managing underlying factors contributing to nerve degeneration.
Telehealth & In-Office Treatments: Intensive, personalized treatments in our New Jersey office for the fastest and most effective results.
At-Home Care with ACS3000: Offering the ACS3000 system for at-home care to support retinal and auditory nerve health.
Targeted Supplements: Providing specialized and targeted supplements to support eye and ear health.

Symptoms & Causes

Retinal and Auditory Nerve Damage

Usher’s Syndrome results from damage to the retinal and auditory nerves, often due to genetic factors and possibly autoimmune responses. The condition affects the retina and auditory nerves, leading to progressive vision and hearing loss.

Neurodegeneration

Recent research links Usher’s Syndrome to neurodegenerative processes similar to other conditions like Alzheimer’s. The retinal and auditory nerves suffer from:

Mechanical trauma
Decreased blood flow
Retinal ganglion cell and auditory nerve cell death

Neuroinflammation

Autoimmune responses may trigger inflammation, damaging neurons. This process involves microglia cells, which contribute to nerve cell degeneration and potentially other neurodegenerative processes.

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress damages DNA and neurons, disrupting blood flow regulation. Antioxidants are being studied to combat this damage and improve Usher’s Syndrome outcomes.

Other Risk Factors

Genetic Mutations: Mutations in several genes contribute to the syndrome.
Autoimmune Disorders: Possible links to autoimmune responses.
Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Linked to retinal and auditory nerve cell deterioration.
Environmental Factors: Potential contributors to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Healing Your Eyes with Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture, Acupressure, & Chinese Herb

For the past ten years, Andy Rosenfarb has successfully used acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat a wide range of eye conditions. His treatments include moxibustion techniques, tuina (massage), microcurrent stimulation, Chinese herbs, and qigong exercises, along with essential acupuncture where essential oils are placed on acupuncture points. The culmination of his work which includes a recent pioneering study involving metabolic testing is this handbook for healing the kinds of conditions too often considered almost impossibly challenging or irreversible.The first half of Healing Your Eyes with Chinese Medicine explains Traditional Chinese Medicine and its perspective on the eyes, which is based on the idea that the eyes and the brain work in tandem, not isolation. The second half focuses on proven methods derived from Rosenfarb s practice, including nutritional, supplemental, and lifestyle adjustments. Individual chapters cover eye disorders such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and many more. This book is intended as a practical manual to help readers understand their eyes and vision more comprehensively, and to learn new, affordable ways for retaining the precious gift of sight.
