Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I have extremely low blood pressure, and have never had an ear infection in my life. Part of my candida overgrowth is that my immune system has been in overdrive most of my life. I think I have had a cold/flu twice in all of my 35 years. I did not get tinnitus until recently. I have been treating my candida for about ten months. I don't seem to have any other symptoms. I am not stuffy, don't have excessive wax, or anything else I can relate to it. I have been sleeping without a pillow for a while now and wondered if I was just putting too much pressure on my ear(s) with my head on the mattress?? But, I am pretty sure that it is candida at the root of it. Just looking for ways to relieve it in the mean time. I have not taken zinc, but will likely try it. I think the other vits suggested for tinnitus are covered- magnesium, selenium, calcium, and vit b's. I have also read gingko and black cohash may help. Has anyone tried these? I found several sites that recommend acupuncture. Anyone? Thanks again. > > Have you ruled out medical reasons for the ringing in the ears?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I agree that my selenium is o.k. I took another 200 mcg after your first post and saw no difference... We had our water tested this summer when we updated our filtration system (well water). It was all in the normal range. Is it possible to have an infection and not have any other side effects other than the tinnitus? I will check into the oxone therapy. If it doesn't go away or lessen it may be worth looking in to. Do you have any opinion or experience with acupuncture treatment for tinnitus? In the mean time I have my ear plugs in, which seems to at least help the pressure a bit...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 That will be something I pay attention to. However, I usually wake up with the pressue then the ringing/humming builds once I am moving about, and it progresses through the day. I don't eat any dairy except butter, don't have any known allergies, and don't think I have had anything unusual or new lately but I will definately try to take note of things I've eaten before an episode. Thanks > > SK: > > Popping in the ear can mean a partially plugged Eustachian Tube, which sometimes happens when we have allergies to food or inhalant allergies or a viral infection of some kind. This happens to me when I have a cold OR when I eat ice cream or cheese. The ringing seems to be a part of that situation. > > Bonnie > > Ringing Ears > > > Anyone have any suggestions for relieving the ringing in the ears? Or > ways to relieve the pressure?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I know you're looking for natural remedies and if you find some, let me know. I take Sudafed 12 hr in the morning. It unstuffs me and continues to all day long. Best OTC drug out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 You need to have your low blood pressure figured out. I would venture to guess that is a major part of your tinnitus. It sounds like you've tried a lot of things. Have you see a naturopath or a chiropractor that uses nutritional therapy? You describe several issues that would need to be addressed in order to even begin to help your tinnitus.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Also ringing ears (which my husband has) can be caused by nerve damage he was told, from loud noises, like using a gun. Now you're saying that the noise builds, which might be a problem in the Labrynth, called (in some cases) Meniere's Syndrome.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Have you tried applying coconut oil in the ears? I've used this before successfully to treat ear infections.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 On the well water, there is no normal range for arsenic, and the US EPA lets you take in about 20 times the levels that start to produce illness. Sorry, I have nothing concrete on acupuncture.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 No, I haven't tried that yet, but am interested. Do you put it in with a q-tip or melt it and drip it in? If you drip it in how much? I am on day three where this is just knocking the life out of me. Still no sign of an infection, or anything else new...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 You don't really need to measure anything. Melt the coconut oil just till it's liquid. Test it to make sure it's not too hot. Use an eye dropper or a baby medicine dropper to put in your ear. Lay on your side, let the coconut oil go into your ear and sit for a minute or two. Repeat on the other side. You can do this several times a day. Adding garlic oil will be an even stronger antifungal. Luv, Debby San , CA 147 pounds lost! 95% of health issues reversed!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 gingkobiloba helped the ringing in my ears stop.They say it can be caused by a circulation prob and gingko really helped ringing earsiodine Date: Saturday, September 26, 2009, 7:26 AM I have tinnitus and for a while I was taking 4 drops of iodine and 1gr of Amour. I have stopped this about 1 month ago and now the ringing seems to be getting louder again (never completely went away). What do you think made it go away the iodine or the amour? I quit going to the dr because I couldn't afford $75 every 6 months + the tests he wanted me to do. Any input would be nice and is there somewhere I could get amour w/o a prescription? Thanks so muchPenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have also been taking ginkgo biloba now for about 2 months. I was taking Dr. Rons but he has since stopped selling it on it's own and his deep thoughts w/GB is too expensive so I am trying future biotics product called Thinkfast which also has vinpocetine in it which I also heard helps tinnitus. What product do you take Kathleen?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hi My husband was dignoised with tinnitus and also had dizzy spells vertigo.
