I assume that Dr. Bjorne doesn't mean that his specialty lies in diagnosing
Meniere's. He's a dentist, for thing. For another, to be able to recognize
meniere's, you need expertise in recognizing a wide range of other vestibular
(and non-vestibular medical) problems so that they can be ruled out.

I recall looking at the site a year or so ago. It wasn't very clear about how
the patients were chosen. It sort of looked like they might have been chosen
because they had serious dental/jaw/neck problems.

If you read the literature on Meniere's, you are struck by the fact that many
well-respected MDs have declared that they have found the cause/cure for
Meniere's. There's at least one who has pulled that stunt twice! Mostly, this
has been due to doing studies without control groups. Meniere's patients have
a disease that gets really bad and then goes away, sometimes not coming back
for years. They tend to seek medical help when they are really, really bad. If
you treat them by whistling Dixie at them and then see how they are 6 months
later, lots of them will be much better. If you do a shoddy experiment to
start with, you can convince yourself you have the cure.

What Dr. Bjorne should do--in my humble opinion--is to do a properly-powered
study with a proper control group and using carefully defined selection
criteria and symptom measures. Then he can publish it. If he's right that he's
found the cause/cure, he will then be famous and all of us with Meniere's will
thank him.

I wrote to Dr. Assar several times and he replied.  I think the
biggest benefit I got out from our correspondence was his suggestion
to me to perform chiropractic.  It was through my neck being twisted
that I found a connection between my spine and a particular spot on
the left side of my head.  I used to believe the pressure from that
spot was due to 'hydrop'.  Now i am convinced it is from a compressed
nerve.

Presuming the formulations were the same, Francis, it was just a coincidence
that your T "stopped" when you took it.  Therein lies the problem with
experimenting on one's tinnitus.  Tinnitus is so variable that an individual
cannot associate typical day-by-day changes with ginkgo, massage,
acupuncture, hyperbaric enhanced infusions of herbs or, for that matter,
black beans.

Perhaps it is because, as you mentioned in your previous post, your neck has
been twisted.
