If You Are Allergic to Sulfite Preservatives, You Might Be Able to Get Rid of Your Tinnitus

[Bill Bauer]

"On the 15th day after medical treatment (21 days postexposure/acoustic trauma), the patient ingested a potato knish, which contained sulfite preservatives, a food substance to which she was allergic.

Within 10 to 15 minutes after food ingestion, she developed physiologic alterations in body homeostasis, which were characterized by supraventricular tachycardia (measured heart rate, 270 beats per minute) and diuresis of several liters. During this episode, which lasted approximately 45 minutes, she experienced a loud "rushing noise" in the left ear. After heart rate returned to normal and diuresis subsided, marked subjective improvement in hearing sensitivity, resolution of tinnitus, and aural fullness were immediately realized."​

She was cured right there and then...

This may work for other allergies. Too bad I don't have any...

This does not sound like a typical food allergy reaction. Food reactions more often cause an anaphylactic response, hives or an upset stomach in more milder cases.

If tachycardia contributed, that is certainly not something to attempt inducing.
