    Is LLLT for Tinnitus by Dr. Wilden a Scam?

    The "Harvard study" is displayed on Wilden's website like the Holy Grail. This study has been used by Dr Wilden as a bite, to "lure more suffering people" into paying him money for a self-proclaimed "cure" that does not exist.

    Is LLLT for Tinnitus by Dr. Wilden a Scam?

    Some comments if I may: I think that matt89 (posted above) has expressed in most realistic terms and in a pragmatic way the "dark truth" that surrounds Dr. Wilden; I agree with him 100% and Wilden simply runs a business for money, he is not a devoted research clinician, he is by no means a...

    Is LLLT for Tinnitus by Dr. Wilden a Scam?

    Bobby B, Dr. Shemesh in Israel did absolutely nothing but offered expensive capsules supposedly made up of vitamins, minerals and some herbs. That's all he did - absolutely no effect - false hope / false treatment. That's it.. I most likely caused my Tinnitus from loud noise intrusion from my...

    Is LLLT for Tinnitus by Dr. Wilden a Scam?

    No, I am not familiar with the recent Harvard study. May I make a comment about clinical studies; A singular isolated study does not serve as absolute evidence. When I read a clinical study I look for the fine print; who has financed the study, who is directing the study, who is doing the...

    Dr. Shemesh Israel Clinic — Scam or Genuine?

    To Martin69, Yes, a discussion about Tinnitus, which includes the subject of potential suicide is perhaps depressing or very sad. However, it needs to be talked about; an awareness of the fact that (T) can cause suicidal thoughts may help the patient seek proper psychological support and/or...
