Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / October 2004Low salt diet
After paying a seemingly bad tinnitus price from consuming a delicious bag of highly favoured crisps yesterday, today I've started cutting out everything with a high or even average salt content. Already my T seems much better, but of course this could be natural variation or the placebo effect. How quickly is salt excreted from the body? Who else out there has tried a low salt diet? What were the results? How long did they take to kick in?

In my case, it reduced it further to almost always negligible. Susan -- > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Susan Hmm, interesting ! "Negligible tinnitus" eh? You lucky lass. What a wonderful prize that would be. You see, for lunch today I had a huge jacket potato, because I thought it was low salt !! After giving the reduced salt a chance, I shall try low carbing next then... Steve O >Hmm, interesting ! "Negligible tinnitus" eh? You lucky lass. What a >wonderful prize that would be.

I have to tell you that my tinnitus was/is caused by a CNS infection by tick borne disease (neuroborreliosis, among others) and was, for years, intermittent, at various volumes, but not very troublesome until antibiotic therapy initially made it a roar like a jet engine in my head. Fortunately, staying on the antibiotic later lowered it (the roar was a die-off reaction to endotoxins produced by the pathogen) to tolerable levels. Low carbing is what lowered it further, after the initial relief, to mostly negligible. That's where it remains for the most part. I also have hyperacusis, which worsens if I'm very fatigued or otherwise ill. Now, it's only very loud when I'm sick or if I have a very high salicylate meal.

There is no shortage of theories around salt. After all, many students do need topics to write for term papers. A conversation I had with several medical professionals do indicate that a low salt diet is healthy. FP =============================== > How quickly is salt excreted from the body?

You have tried dozens of tinnitus remedies and each has improved your tinnitus. With percentage improvements ranging from 10% to 40%, I'm surprised you still have tinnitus at this point. Which would you say helped the most, the black beans or the intravenous herbal injections? The ginkgo or the hyperbaric chamber? The acupuncture or the Zanax? The meditation or the massage? I think it would be helpful to everyone if you would provide us a chart of these remedies along with the percentage of cure you experienced so we could start with the most productive ones and work our way down the list until we are completely cured.

Are you serious in wanting them or are you just being skeptical? The causes of t are very complex. That is to say, there is no generalized cause of T. Not only that, what works for one may not work for another one. You just have to try it out yourself in order to get to the bottom of things. The only way is to suffer in silence which some call habituation. Some managed to do that very well while in my case i had to seek out what bothered me. Now i have found that out and my t is improving. If you had not found that out, and you wanted to find that out, you would simply have to consult someone who could guide you to do so. Winning an argument with someone over the ng will not land you a victory over your t. It is your *personal* war on t, and no one else.

You said you know two people who's tinnitus was cured using a hyperbaric chamber. You indicated that you were still in contact with them. It would be very useful this group to hear from them directly and find out what drug was being absorbed during their treatment. > > "Bill" <Bill@myplace.now> wrote in message news:<SVked.156 > > snipped...

I think the use of hyperbaric oxygen was to enhance the absorption of medicine, while the med was administered by intravenous injection. We were a bunch of patients in the same chamber. 2 got well while 2 never got anything out of it. I got some positive feedback as long as the med was on but once it was off the sound came back. The med was used for dilating blood vessels. While some doctors used imported medicine for the intravenous injection, some used solution made of a herb root. You can easily check with your doctor as to what they use for blood vessel dilation. The principle is the same. FP >> > "Bill" <Bill@myplace.now> wrote in message news:<SVked.156 >> > snipped...

Wait.I am trying to get one's email address. He lives in China. FP It is very difficult to be on a low salt diet. But anyone can drink distilled water, preferably with lemon or other fruit juice. The distilled water makes up fot teh salt you take in. that's distilled water, not spring water. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com > It is very difficult to be on a low salt diet.
