Thanks so much for your reply. I've haven't gone to a chiro yet, but did years ago for a shoulder injury. He was wonderful, fixed it in 4 or 5 visits if I remember right. Not many, that's for sure. Back when I lived near Lynden WA. I am limited with my insurance which is called Medi Cal, California's name for medicaid. I don't think my NP can refer me to a chiro, but it may be worth seeing about physical therapy. I was told by an alternative medicine type friend that he thought it had to do with my cervical dystonia. I've had that a lot longer than I've had the tinnitus, and I have a pretty good exercise routine that help with that neck kind of pain. I don't know, as you probably know it gets discouraging when you seem to have too many things going wrong at the same time, lol ;) But I need to be grateful at how learning from EC has helped me in so many ways:) Thanks again ;)

Thanks much Andrea, worth finding out about that although I think that shows up in regular blood-work? I'm not sure though, but last time it showed I needed D3, and I had a little bit high cholestrol, then hypo thyroid. I hated the feeling/side effects of the meds she gave me for the hypo thyroid, so I trashed them after getting on EC and when I went back and had them do the bloodwork again, all was fine, good numbers ;) I'll look at my online records to see if iron was on there. If it was, it was normal, but I'll check ;)

My iron levels are normal, so I guess that isn't my issue. Still taking my boron for arthritis, and it seems to be helping my Tinnitus, not a huge diff. but don't need my white noise at bedtime last 2 nights. More will be revealed!! ;)

This one really caught my eye Heather, because, I had the worst sinus infection of my life in and around 2010. I've never connected it with my tinnitus but I am wondering. I was put on antibiotics for 3 months, and, I could not live without a Benadryl (by way of Tylenol PM) every night. When my equilibrium went so bad that when I was driving nothing seemed real to me, the trees, everything around me and scared me bad. I made it to my sisters house hoping she would sort of watch over me (boy was that stupid but it did pay off). She and her live-in man-friend took off for the casinos and I ended up alone anyway. So I'm laying on the couch with the tv on, wanting to die because my head felt like cement. I got enough willingness to get over to her computer, and googled "natural remedies for sinus infection" and ACV came up. I first thought "oh yuck" then I said heck with it I'm going to try it. I did a tablespoon in water and gagged it down. Then I got back over to the couch. It was the most amazing thing. I felt it actually working in my sinuses, and everything started coming loose. I think it was only 2 or 3 days and I was literally healed. I haven't had a sinus infection since, and I got into natural remedies. But, I still used the tylenol pm to help me sleep most nights. The more I read about natural stuff, the more I wanted to go "clean" so I dropped the pm's never took them again. But looking back, my tinnitus started in about 2011. I remember because I had gone to take a few classes at the local community college. I would get a swishing noise in my ears when I'd get up in the night to use the bathroom. So this went on til around 2014-15, and when I moved into this apt. it was shortly after my T turned into this awful ringing and it is steady, 24/7. I think I need a complete detox/cleanse, should have done it before this. Even looked up ways of doing it but chickened out each time. I have borax, edta, something called molybdenum, and that last one I'm not sure why I ordered it. I've never used not one of these things. I do eat pretty good but still some red meat once or twice a week, no dairy except the rare bit of cheese and/or skim milk. I don't buy it, so I don't eat it 99% of the time. Feedback from anyone welcome but a cleanse/detox I believe is a start in finding out. I don't take any supplements except 200% mg of Mag. Citrate, and I use a lot of natural remedies for allergies like my ACV, lemon, ginger. I also do saltwater irrigation almost daily. I am so grateful for what I've learned from EC so far. The only thing I pray for an answer for is the tinnitus. Seems everything else, including arthritis is wayyyyy better!

Hi Denise, I developed tinnitus and didn't know what it was for a long time until I came on here. Nothing worked for me either. Like yourself, different things kept cropping up so I thought of a cleanse and eventually found the diatomaceous earth thread. I started slow building up but found that a tablespoon was too much. If I have a quarter teaspoon in a small bit of water each morning, followed by a good glass of water afterwards before breakfast of the FOOD GRADE, keeps me 'regular' and eventually cleared the tinnitus. Extra water is the key when taking DE. What works for one does not always work for another, I have found that I just have to keep trying different things. It may be worth a visit to the DE thread and a good read will help, just never start on more than quarter teaspoon first and find what suits you. I now leave it off after a couple of months for a month and start again. Good luck whatever you try.

Hi Rose, I don't see a "reply to Rose" so I hope you see this. I just saw your post/reply today to me! Thanks so much for that. I'm doing the Boron for arthritis and it seems to be having some effect on that, but also, on the tinnitus. Not really sure. Too early in the game to know, but I want to keep folks up to date. I was kind of surprised to see anyone using DE because that's what we used to kill bugs with, like cockroaches. I was told it is like tiny razors and killed the bugs that way. I can't imagine swallowing it, but I must not have the right info on what it is if you are doing fine with it. I just wanted to make sure I tried to thank you for your help Rose. I don't understand this website as far as being able to really communicate with people, but I am grateful for the info I read. I will let people know of my progress. I'm on every day looking up something ;)

Replied By Denise (True ) on 04/18/2020

I'll have to drop by the Facebook page for EC Gina ;) Also, I do ACV most days for my allergies, but sadly, that hasn't changed my Tinnitus. I'm so happy you got the fix from ACV!! That's one I can share with others that could work for them too ;)

Replied By Denise (True ) on 04/18/2020

I've heard a lot about that, and I am so hoping that isn't the case ;(

Replied By Denise (True ) on 04/18/2020

I'll take a look Rick. I remember trying one where you snap your fingers on the back of your head. That bombed ;( I'll look at the link though and thank you for your reply :)

I don't think anyone is lucky that has tinnitus, but I hope yours is not permanent like mine seems to be. I've taken some steps lately, just started the Boron (Ted's remedy for bones, arthritis, osteo) and I am hoping that helps not only with my arthritis, but maybe even my tinnitus. I find it interesting my first day using 1/8 tsp in my drinking water (1 liter) yesterday, last night I went to bed and started reading, and literally forgot about my tinnitus. Then when I realized I had read like 2 chapters of my book, with no white noise, I realized it was so low it didn't bother me. Maybe a coincidence but I can only think of one other night I slept without white noise in the last 4.5 years! We'll see I guess. Still have not turned on any noise since I got up either. I am sorry I got no notification about your post/reply, until today when I went through a bunch of the "latest Posts". I'm also doing h202 inhalation, just once in awhile, like 2 times a week, ACV/lemon/ginger every a.m. for allergies and helps a lot of other things, although not tinnitus. Then I also do sinus irrigation every day for now since the pollen is horrendous here. Anyway, maybe one day "soon I hope" we can communicate on a regular basis. Thanks so much for you reply, oh, and no on the MRI. I live in a sort of desolate area of California, near the Forgotten Coast (and I know why it's called that). Huge lack of good medical care here. I had to drive 350 or more miles to get to dental school in San Francisco, just to have a tooth examined :( Then 350 back home, in one day :( arggg!! LOL!!

Something I didn't mention in my earlier post was that I am pretty certain that mine has nothing to do with my ears. Only the fact I can hear the ringing. I think it's all in my head, lol ;) Well, what I mean is, the bones, in particular. I have bone-spurs in my neck, supposedly caused from Cervical Dystonia, and I have strange head-pain in that area of my lower skull right behind my ear?? Anyway, I should donate my bod to science so they can really take a look at what caused all this ;) When I look in the mirror, which I try hard not to do, lol, I can see my head is not on straight, lol! No really, it's like a teeny bit off-center like my neck is crooked. Who knows, I'm just glad I can find alternatives to drugs on this site ;)

Denise, For your ear ringing, eat white potatoes every day. For bone spurs, apple cider vinegar will dissolve them (sorry do not know dosage but google it). If you by chance have spinal stenosis, it also can be dissolved easily in 6 months, go read “Older Spines Feel Young Again” by Dr. Debra Katchen (misspelled I am sure).

Replied By Denise (True ) on 05/04/2020

Hi Allyson, Thanks so much for your feedback/suggestions. I do acv, so I hope that is already helping the spurs, and all the other things it's so wonderful for ;) I mainly eat red potatos but I can do white, which I had a huge bag of and just finished it off! I'll keep that up, and, find the book you recommended! Thank you again, and have a great day! Was so happy to hear from someone ;)

Hi Denise. I understand healthcare problems as here near Atlanta there're lots of providers but few "doctors." Although one dr I saw in January did say the brain tells the ear that it is hearing something when there really is no noise. Hhmn. Could our brains be sending us a message we don't want to hear? Mine is not ringing, but ticking or clicking. Doctor no 2 said he thought I has stapedius muscle spasms. In the medical literature this is called "myoclonus" and is "treated" with botox or surgery. Neither sounds good to me. The MRI that they do is to tell them whether there is a tumor on the acoustic nerve. A contrast medium is injected into your vein and it is gadolinium. Gadolinium is an iron-oxide compound, some of which stays in your brain/body and is not chelated out. There are lawsuits over the side effects so there must be some big effects because lawyers don't take small damage tort lawsuits, only the high dollar cases. Plus the cost is high even with insurance so I have not had an mri. If you can ignore yours with the white noise app, does that tell you anything? Are there unresolved issues? Years earlier (2016-17) when I was taking care of my dying parents, this clicking appeared then. I was very stressed, working at their house 10 hours and doing my job online. When I got rested, it went away, took maybe 2-3 weeks. For the past 20 years, I have worked roughly 10-12 hour days and have developed another autoimmune problem. No sinus issues. Do you have other AI problems? A few days ago I put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ear. Seemed to help. Maybe I will start drinking ACV. Maybe I will just start drinking 😉

You should see a blair chiropractic pracitionner. The issue might stem from atlas misalignment. Google Kevin Pecca to learn about the therapy. He's also on facebook

How is eating white potatoe help with the hissing /ringing in ear? Would be nice to get info. I am start to go down the path of some folks saying it the whole new 5g and all the EMF going worldwide smart grid. I gone to 4 ENTs …all tests was fine. Good hearing/no issues with ear…no allergies. So is this hissing …where certain times it would go up/down…as if the frequencies fm the smart grid is doing something. Not familiar with this but I am seeing how some folks talk about how EMF can effect our ears…if so, we are the canaries that can hear these frequencies and if that is my case, it's NOT GOOD. Drives me nuts as its now 24/7 as when it started 3 yrs ago…it was right after they put in smart meter and 4 new 5G towers down the road!!! I didn't realize all this til after seeing all the doctors/seeing chiropractors thinking maybe its my neck/shoulder causing this hissing…but a whole year of that and nothing. Hissing still there….I just want to know if it is the EMF or its more of health issues. I will try the ACV for a week in the ear and Hydrogen Peroxide for a week and see if that helps…..if not, I have to mark it up to the new smart meter/5G that came around the same time my ear issues started. I dont listen to loud music or work around noise. I prefer not to be around loud noise so that is not my case. Went to neurologist and he had MRI done on my head and no tumors….so what else can I suggest my doctors to test or look into if its not the EMF/5G then?

Hi Sue, So glad I found your post today, I'm not getting notifications for some reason. Your letter was so heartfelt and I wanted to reply something, it may not be very long as I need to finally eat some breakfast this a.m. and hey, it's already noon here! I wrote something back to MoneyDoc above so you can see some of what I am doing. But to answer your questions, I take ACV (w/The Mother, like Braggs) any you want can help, but I like the Mother ones, organic, non-filtered etc. I just use 1 tbsp and my water. Lately I've added a tbsp of organic lemon juice (but I like to buy lemons too at times) and 1/4 heaping tsp of ginger powder from bulk at health-food store. Very inexpensive and feel it is the best I can get here, unless I buy ginger root in produce section ;) This is all for allergies by the way, and I no longer take anything except this concoction, and also, I do a sinus irrigation every day when pollen is thick. I so hope you find something for your Kitty, I know I wish I'd had EC when I had my little dog fro 15 years. She died in 2006 and if I'd seen all the things that could have kept her from pain, my heart hurts a lot :( Hope to see you again sometime Sue, my niece lives in Lynden WA, hugs, Denise

Hi Sue, I am so sorry to hear how long you have suffered. Do you have any other Autoimmune disease? Do you know what your vitamin d level is? I have tinnitus also, they say, but second doc said mine was from a stapedius muscle spasm. That's the muscle that holds the stapes inside the ear. My ear clicks, doesn't ring. Hydrogen peroxide dropped into the ear seemed to help as does silence: no tv, no crackling of plastic bags or papers, no tv. I have another AI disease and this and the tinnitus have left me without friends and depressed. Doctors are little help. The second one gave me flexaril and valium for this tinnitus but neither did any more than melatonin. I know Vitamin D levels should be over 50 so if you don't know yours, I'd get checked. I am going to do some more research in the medical journals (I have free subscriptions) and then will post more. Best wishes.

Hi Sue,

Before taking all your cat´s teeth out please be aware that when my cat had lost all his teeth (the vet always took out a few everytime he had a toothcleanse)he still had terrible gum inflammation and obvious pain just as it was when he had all his teeth. I find what really helped was colloidal silver, I use Argentyn 23 but I believe that silver between 10ppm and 23 ppm is fine if it is clear not coloured. I just used a needleless syringe with about 10 ml and put it in his mouth. he would just let it fall out of his mouth but it is fine if swallowed. Also there are herbal products for pets. I like Fellimm by the 4 Canadian vets at NHV and I find that it keeps the swelling and pain down.

I can see where it might be all the waves effecting your ears.

For EMF's and 5G and other waves it might be good to rid your house of wifi, all things wireless including wireless computer mouse, bluetooth, sound bars for TV, TV ect. Use microwave very little if any. Keep your phone on data and do not sleep with it in the room with you. I only turn mine on about 3 times a day to check/answer texts.

I bought a meter that reads 4 different things and our house was so toxic it pegged out the meter and said to leave immediately. Just Wow.

Our house now reads about .05. When we had all tech things ON in our house read upwards of 200 MW/m2 (sq).
