LynneR - 29 Nov 2004 23:37 GMT Hi to everyone. I also have PET, and I know how unbearable it can be. But I want to tell you that I have found a cure that works for me!It is a product you can buy from a place in California....but I know these sites have rules, and I'm not sure what I can say. Does anyone know if we can list a phone number (so the rest of you can order this?)It's nothing short of a miracle -- it is a nose drop that stops the PET symptoms within 2 minutes and lasts almost all day. I got the info on it from Dr. Poe, in Boston.I began using it 2 weeks ago, and I feel like a new person. The wierd thing is that no one else seems to know about it. Someone tell me what I'm allowed to say, and I'll gladly give you the info I got!! ~LynneR~

This person probably had to sign their life away just to take the treatment. BUT KNOW ONE WILL HARM THEM BY CONFIDING WITH AN ANONYMOUS HANDLE. (statement for patient)

ENTconsult - 30 Nov 2004 17:07 GMT I totally disagree that one shouldn't tell of his success or failure with a "proprietary " product. Anyone here can tell that they were helped , whether by voodoo doll or extract of beetle juice. Frankly, I often pick up good ideas here myself. a healer may be getting fabulous results with some unique treatment, but unless he can do a full clinical study, it doesn't get published. There is a lot of serendipity in medicine. Once upon a time Lithium was just another paint product, now its used for serious mental illness. Keep the information coming.

WE AGREE but I probably stated it poorly. I was explaining the proprietary "garbage" for the sake of the poor souls who often fall for things without much evidence. And my post was on their behalf, not really as a response to your very correct statement.
We do agree that if something has worked for someone' they should share the info with others for their consideration.

The eustachian tube is supposed to close except on swallowing. If it remains open all the time the voice sounds hollow. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com
jganders - 01 Dec 2004 18:39 GMT Product endorsement is really tricky on newsgroups. It should raise a red flag with all readers. There is obviously the opportunity for monetary gain by product manufacturers (with zero advertising cost), to pitch their often unproven products here. Its the wild wild west snakeoil show. It'd be great if there was some kind of resource to check a product. Anyone know?

If the poster has never been part of this group before, then comes here touting a product, it's likely just a scam or spam or less than reliable for some reason.
If a poster has been with us a while, we can make our own evaluation about his/her accuracy and/or reliability. Anytime any of us makes a claim, reports a success or shares a treatment experience, I think that should be a sign to the rest of us that some investigation and research on our part is in order. None of us should take anyone's word as a solid fact.
I think that, as a rule, those who *tell* others what they have or what causes *their* tinnitus and *tells* them how to treat it should be taken with a grain of salt; they usually have only a hammer, and everything looks like a nail to them.
There are a lot of different causes of tinnitus, cure (or near cure, as in my case) is possible for some, unlikely for most. Once all curable/treatable conditions have been addressed, habituation becomes the critical next step, if treatment fails.

So Quackwatch would NOT be biased if written by a layperson.......??

But it's not because he's an alleged medical person, it's because he's a total jerk.

After reading several reports at quackwatch.com it strikes me that their reporting is in keeping with their stated mission. They report on treatments that fail to meet medical standards for effectiveness. Yes, they are biased against treatments that fail to meet such standards but so am I. Complaining about quackwatch is like saying NPR is "liberal" because they report events that don't flatter conservatives; as if they didn't report on Clinton's behavior. The news is the news. Simple as that.

Well, no, they don't include nor consider any reports that conflict with what Barrett already believes. Cherry picking, I believe it's called.
In the case of Lyme disease, for example, Barrett ignored a tremendous body of good, peer reviewed research provided to him.

ladybug83 - 01 Jun 2005 18:29 GMT Curious if anyone else has tried these drops and do they work for just anyone? I am to the point of trying anything. Please send me any information available.
cloudcity - 26 Dec 2004 08:00 GMT please email any info on this supposed cure... or post it up
many thanks

It'd be great if there was some kind of resource to >check a product. Anyone know? Common sense can help. In this case, the poster's credibility in the group is unknown; being new, the possibility of a scam runs high. OTOH, the physicians mentioned appear reputable: I know only good things about Poe (who supposedly recommended the drug) and Dr. Grossan has commented on the Dr. who supplies it.
Then there is the question of why on earth someone would choose to try to get rich on a scam treatment for patulous eustachian tube!

My god man. Do you not know that there are millions and millions of people in North Dakota alone who are miserable and absolutely suffer from a patulous eustachian tube. Extend the numbers in North Dakota alone to the rest of the U.S., and you have a pandemic of patulous eustachian tube sufferers. How narrow minded and myopic can you be to have not recognized this!

mazomatic - 11 Dec 2004 13:39 GMT Hi,
I suffer from PET for so many years. I really would like to get more information of this treatment. I heard a lot of Dr.Poe, so I think it could help me, too. Lynne, please send that Information to me ! Thanks, mazomatic
tr_ruby - 20 Jan 2005 20:05 GMT Lynne, can you tell me the name of the nosedrops that you got from Dr. Poe? I am new to the boards. I have suffered with PET for 20 years. Any information that you could provide would be helpful. Thanks
FJH - 12 Jun 2005 04:41 GMT Help: I have been diagnosed with PET after seeing 5 doctors, two months of PT, 6 months of TMJ treatment, etc, I just had surgery on one ear to try to permanently close the eustachian tube. Don't think it worked. Does anyone know if the patient study is still active at Ear Foundation in Santa Barbara? Also please send info on the ear drops. Any other suggestions? The only relief I have is when I am sleeping. FJH
annsdc - 08 Feb 2005 19:01 GMT I would also like to know the name of the nosedrops that brought you relief from PET. Any information that you can send me would be greatly appreciated.
annsdc - 25 Feb 2005 20:37 GMT you can read more about this condition at earfdn.org
KimFromOrlando - 12 Aug 2007 16:09 GMT Lynne, I noticed this was posted a number of years ago. I have just recently acuired PET. You spoke of "a nose drop that stops the PET symptoms within 2 minutes and lasts almost all day. I got the info on it from Dr. Poe, in Boston" Do you still endorse this product? And if so, would you please tell me how I could get it, and what the name of it is. Thank you. Kim from Orlando
