    My Trip to Bangkok: Stem Cell Treatment [Comments]

    Any answer will be speculation as these are the kinds of questions nobody knows the answer to. But if we look at the kinds of tinnitus that can be cured - ear wax build up, TMJ, stress - the tinnitus goes away after the underlying cause is removed, so the brain should be able to rewire itself...

    My Trip to Bangkok: Stem Cell Treatment [Comments]

    There's multiple stem cell types, and multiple injection methods. They can be injected into stomach fat, IV drip into the blood stream, into the lower lumbar spinal fluid for brain/CNS access, or injury site like the knee joint or the ear. The different types of cells include adipose (from...

    My Trip to Bangkok: Stem Cell Treatment [Comments]

    Check out the slide at 8 minutes 15 seconds here: There are observable changes in the brain from long term tinnitus, aka neuroplasticity. But the hope/assumption is that once the hair cells are regrown it will change itself back. Personally I think stem cells show promise but the costs are...

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?

    Fluttering definitely seems like TTTS, yeah. In a way that's positive, it can be overcome. I haven't looked much at racetam, but NAC is like a shotgun approach. It's an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, studies show statistical significance in reducing hearing loss (sadly only if taken shortly...

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?

    I'm sorry to hear you're in a setback, I sympathise. When my ear was damaged I had hyperacusis for a couple of months and it was terrible. Pretty sure it was tonic tympani tensor syndrome. Like most people here I saw numerous doctors and ENTs that were no use. I covered my ear to use my...

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?

    It's unfortunate that Western literature is basically non-existent because fetal stem cells are highly controversial/illegal in most countries. Even for research. Ukraine approved them in the 90s out of necessity, due to widespread health issues from Chernobyl and a shortage of bone marrow...

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?

    Fetal and embryonic cells are from different stages of development. Embryonic are pluripotent which are the tumor/cancer risk kind. It's hard to get a consistent answer on fetal cells - some sources describe them as multipotent like UC and adipose while one source describes them as "mostly...

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?

    Thanks for the reply. I didn't realise exosomes weren't considered stem cells. True, they did help with the pain, and maybe they work for tinnitus too but need many months to have a noticeable effect. I listened to this podcast with the documentary maker a few days ago which prompted the...

    Stem Cell Clinics for Treating Tinnitus?

    Just wondering if you have looked at EmCell at all? They're based in Kyiv but are operating normally, and accessible by car or train from Poland. Ukraine is apparently the only country that allows fetal stem cells (not embryonic) so they're different to anything else. There's a documentary on...
