Hey guys, I have some info I found that is highly relevant to all of this stuff- Apparently a neurotrophic factor called NT-3 (neurotrophin 3) shows some promise in some capacity. It shows an ability to regenerate certain structures in the cochlea, including ribbon synapses (which seem to be an...

It's also not completely out of the question that tinnitus might be a subtle manifestation of a degenerative neural disease. People that go on to develop dementia are known to lose their senses of smell years beforehand, for example. BUT the good news is there is reason to believe all of these...

Ok, just had an idea. The sound of tinnitus is the sound of the body trying to repair itself. This explains why you hear ringing after a concert, but then it goes away (because it repairs itself). This also explains why people report that it often tends to increase at night, as the body always...

What the fuck happened to this thread?

Ok, I will admit that my wording may have had hints of blanket bashing all "scientists" or "practitioners" etc. I do not think that they themselves are all bad. In fact I think most of them probably mean well. But they are mere pawns to the corporate atrocity which tainted their very schooling...

Important update: just found this AMA on Reddit with Terry. Id like you guys to read this quote from one of her responses: "DrTerryWahls[S] 9 points 2 years ago There is increased recognition that MS is a syndrome - that it is many different diseases that have similar symptoms that are all...

Ah, yes of course, I would have to agree with you haha. BUT the other factor that you are forgetting that can also influence our hearing for the better (whose existence is demonstrated by anyone who once had tinnitus but now no longer does) are whatever cells make tinnitus go away. These cells...

@Tweaker I agree with everything that you've said here except that our diet is an unlikely candidate for a cure. Tinnitus occurs within a network of neurons and other nerve cells. We know new neurons are made every day. We also know the integrity and function of these cells depend on what we...

Sorry if I am misunderstanding you, and I hope I don't come across as rude, but what do you mean you don't see a theoretical basis to presume that paleo would help our bodies? Have you read any of this thread? I'm tired of typing. Here's a video. (note this is from 7 years ago, and she has...

@Path Maker I would highly suggest looking into the videos/interviews that Dr. Terry Wahls has on youtube. This is still the most compelling evidence I offer in favor of the theory that I have presented in this thread, because I simply cannot prove the mechanism behind my own tinnitus...

@Path Maker I mean sure, medicine as we know it isn't 100% useless. Maybe just a very very vast majority. Medications are useful short term, as in pain medicines post surgery. But never for chronic diseases, as far as I can see. @awbw8 You made some good points, but you also refuted one of your...

@Path Maker I'm not claiming that this idea will cure 100% of the cases of tinnitus (although the more and more I learn and think about it, the more I feel adequate dietary changes could have a good success rate). But here's what we know: Conventional western medical practice is largely a...

Interesting, although I feel like you'd just get the response from chewing it, I feel like breaking it is merely for convenience of eating it. It seems redundant that breaking it would be required for the effect. BUT- let's not get too off topic. I don't want people to look at this forum and...

@Kste Adams Here's an interesting fact- when you eat a vegetable, part of the reason why it is so healthy is because of the plant's built in defenses, which cause a beneficial stress response in the human body. When a plant is grown in mineral deficient soil, the defenses cannot be created...

@bill 112 Bill, I forgot to respond to your most recent post. An anecdotal instance in which a case resolved itself “spontaneously” is simply not adequate evidence for or against anything. This word spontaneously is thrown around a lot by the prevailing medical establishments, but it doesn’t...
