Thoughts about Tinnitus
Tinnitus: (characterized by a ringing or buzzing in
the ear) "Orthodox" doctors suggest that "surgery is of no value; if you can't
tolerate the ringing, play background music." In reality, there are a variety of
causes of tinnitus including hypertension,
lead and/or
mercury toxicity, nutritional
deficiencies, osteoporosis (connective
tissue squeezes the 8th cranial nerve),
food allergies, and/or hypoglycemia.
Do the necessary laboratory work to make a specific diagnosis including the pulse
test, six-hour GTT, and hair analysis. Start a base line nutritional program.
Treatment of tinnitus should include the treatment of the underlying disease.
Avoid offending food allergens, avoid sugar and all refined foods, take zinc at
15 mg t.i.d., tin from plant derived colloidal minerals, EFA at 5 grams t.i.d.,
vitamin A at 300,000 IU per day as beta-carotene, calcium at 2,000 mg per day,
magnesium at 1,000 mg per day, and betaine HCI and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200
mg t.i.d. 15 minutes before meals.
