Yes, and personally I'm excited about it. I hope the research translates to humans and that a treatment gets out to us ASAP. But until then, we're looking forward to bimodal neuromodulation. We have been discussing the brain inflammation on this thread:
Hello, so you take 6 capsules per day.
Hey Telis, when you fasted, were the effects long term? Or did your tinnitus come back when you stopped fasting?
Yes, absolutely. I'm dong some research into this and plan to start very soon. I respond to prednisolone and curcumin so I definitely think it's something for me to try.
They were long term, I was doing a lot better until I stepped into a 120 dB MRI machine with crap ear protection, now I'm half deaf and haven't been able to will myself to fast, I'm not in the state of mind. I've got serious PTSD from this incident, my tinnitus is so bad after the MRI I can't sleep for more than 10 min at a time and am on a lot of drugs and alcohol just to get through the day. I need to be somewhat relaxed when I fast, not white knuckle my way through it, I'm not able to at this point.
Hi Telis, I also did the MRI mistake. I was in a very good situation with my loud tinnitus but had to do MRI 4 weeks ago and that changed the game now. And now I am again here at Tinnitus Talk and looking for hope. The last time when I was going through a hard time was when the Autifony drug was in a clinical trial but it failed. Now again I have a hard time and I can see everyone is excited about this Lenire device which I am not optimistic about.
It is true TNF alpha maybe br necessary, but it is safe to presume the researchers working on the treatment are aware of that and testing for adverse effects such as those, and may even redesign a treatment if necessary.Gabriel said:
I did read in another thread he was taking 8 grams a day. So you are not even getting close with 250mg.
This may be an asinine question but does Curcumin need to be built up in your system like a vitamin or supplement? I don't expect to pop a Curcumin pill and be healed or have an effect immediately. I am assuming this takes time?
Let me know how it turns out. I have the results of my brief stint with turmeric and I'm gearing up to give it another go (I am poor and ran out of money to buy more).
Captain, I noticed a next day effect. I've been on and off experimenting with this for about a year and I have found, for me, that the best time to take it is at dinner and it usually is working by the next morning. I take ~3,000 mg.
Not really. I had 1 really, really good day. With tinnitus at 3-4/10 instead of the 6-7/10. A level I for sure can get used to. Didn't experience that in a long time. Unfortunately the day after it was back at 6/10 and today back at 6-7/10. This number is my awareness/loudness combination number. Totally not scientific, just how I experience it.
Yes, the research found brain inflammation is the tinnitus sufferers' response to hearing loss. The inflammation is caused by excess TNF-alpha proteins in the auditory cortex, causing abnormal neuronal transmissions.
