@terry b Sorry for very slow response - not a regular here anymore. Sore point. The dentist who removed mine advertised as an 'expert' in amalgam...
That's great, thanks very much! ... Edit to add interesting quote from the introduction: It seems there might be other reports to track down,...
I guess it is possible that the results of the study were down to placebo effect, since this was not controlled for. I know the placebo effect can...
OK, thanks for your trouble replying. From what you say it doesn't seem worth trying this out. I always resisted using benzos after the things I...
Hi @linearb, I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to pharmacology / how drugs work in the body, etc., and I have a lot of respect for your...
Hey, just wanted to add my congratulations. This is great news and you certainly earned this improvement. Thanks also for all the hugely valuable...
I wondered whether a possible hint was given in this passage from the second of the links posted by ATEOS: "On the other hand, within some...
@linearb cheers.... interesting stuff.
Have you seen the inside of these labs? Apologies if I sound challenging, I just can't tell from your comment whether you are speaking from...
@erniej I think many doctors have a habit of doing that - not taking the possible negative consequences into account when prescribing. Doesn't...
I did it but was a little confused by Q8. I don't own a smartphone (only a windows tablet) but the survey insisted I tick a box on Q8, even though...
Just as a point of interest, it would be easy to defend the OP's idea by reference to utilitarian moral philosophy. Utilitarians attempt to...
I can definitely feel my tinnitus as well as hear it - some days more than others. I agree with the comments that distraction is better than...
Just to clarify one more time in case it is necessary, I am definitely not saying that Wilden is the real deal or that LLLT is gonna solve...
This is what I have been thinking. Putting aside the attempt to link Wilden and Shemesh, two separate contributors to this thread have: (a)...
Hi Mike, I didn't see anywhere where Wilden proclaimed a "cure". He does call it a treatment, but that is a much less extreme claim. I haven't...
Yes, I had four done in one session because I was travelling quite a way. If I had the option again I would probably split that up into two visits...
My condolences Glynis. I am sorry to hear about this.
That sounds a strange set of circumstances - hard to understand what happened exactly although I don't doubt it at all. I've read that voltages...
Psoriatic arthritis, depression, fatigue, mercury is ototoxic... a better question might be why anyone allows that stuff into their mouth in the...
I had 4 mercury fillings removed last summer. The drilling to get them out (cut into sections) was over surprisingly quickly, but preparing the...
Do you have a reference for this please? Obviously there is spontaneous recovery in many cases of tinnitus, eg. when someone has it the day after...
Many laws are difficult to enforce, eg. those against domestic abuse. They are still worth having as they move society in the right direction. I'd...
Hi Abby, while it might be possible that the prednisone had some ototoxic effect, on the balance of what I've read on the topic it seems as though...
In case it helps... I had a big increase in 2013 and that happened over a few days. The evening of the noise exposure I noticed that my tinnitus...
It is p'raps worth noting that some countries have done this, eg. the Netherlands:
Some idiot might take that as an invitation to actually blast a siren into your ear. There was a video posted here last year of some people doing...
That is incredibly sad. Kind of makes me ashamed of being human. Well done for making the argument, but sadly many people are just not able to...
That is what I think I read in a few places too (when I was reading about this stuff a couple of years ago). Although, I believe it is an open...
@LeQuack & @bill 112 sorry to hear that you are having a hard time at the moment. I think I know some of what you guys feel from my own...
Yes, with olive oil if I remember correctly.
You might find it an aid to habituation as you won't be listening to your tinnitus much for a while. ;)
I had a bad experience. The gp insisted it was 'irrigation' rather than syringing because it used a little machine to pump water gently into my...
I agree with the ordering. Definitely get the manual removal over the others if you can. If the ear canal is not completely blocked then I would...
Personally, I don't want to disagree in a big way because I think we both have some valid points and that it is all about balance - what I called...
@Ed209 I agree with much of what you write, but I think you are insisting on a level of certainty that is not possible for everybody. We are not...
Yes, of course it is vague because the article highlights that absolute certainty about what is dangerous does not exist. The official guidelines...
Absolutely, I agree with what you say here. Although we sometimes become heated in discussing these things it is not about animosity - it is about...
@Ed209 I think Telis was inviting you to comment on the content of the New York Times article that he posted. I am curious myself whether you...
There was this posted in its own thread recently as well: The article seems to suggest a couple of relevant possibilities. One is that damage to...
Not the "same thing" at all. Telis said they were everyday noises, he definitely did not say they were not a problem for someone with damaged...
I've thought a few times that I may have mild autistic traits. I don't see it as an insult. But I don't think rebelling against this stuff makes...
I know what you mean. I was actually on a computer science degree for a few weeks back in 1987. I switched pretty quick to environmental science,...
Hi Eric, I've seen this idea before but I have a different perspective on it. I imagine what you say will be true for a few people since different...
Hi @Louise77, sorry to hear you are having these problems. The NHS is basically rubbish for these kinds of issues, unfortunately. If it helps, I...
For what it is worth, I thought Zorro was trying to be helpful, was a bit insensitive and self-righteous in how he went about it, and then failed...
Thanks very much @Gosia. It is quite difficult entering a situation like this as I did not wish to misrepresent you at all, and it is great to...
Issues about how support is given have been raised in this thread and I hope that is valuable in some way. However clearly there is little point...
"Hyper-preoccupation?" That sounds impressive. Except that before the event Gosia simply asked for opinions and experiences, which is a perfectly...
Hey, Zorro, you're clearly trying to help, and that is great. But I don't think it is accurate to say the feedback you gave is "objective". Surely...
These days I get spikes all the time from little stuff like riding in the car or being out walking when it is a little windy. I think it is...
I've done three degrees and they were all a bit like that. It isn't just about the joy of discovery and expanding your mind, it is also an...
Hey, @Carlos, I think your mind is just throwing those images and fantasies at you because you are unhappy. They are not thought out solutions or...
Congratulations on the birth! I believe you should be fine using Ibuprofen short term.
Hi @Kay86, first up it is really important to say do not have any worry at all about asking questions - that is exactly what the forum is here...
I agree wholeheartedly with what LadyDi says with one small exception that I have once (out of several times trying) managed to shift a wax...
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :)
With hindsight, I agree! I did read a few books before beginning and the one I followed the most closely was John Pagano's one on psoriasis. The...
Those two sentences reminded me of a wonderful book from a few years ago called "The Expanding Circle: Ethics, Evolution, and Moral Progress" by...
If you are planning an extreme diet for candida then please be careful and plan it well. I've been down this route and spent six+ months feeling...
