Andy - 17 Sep 2005 11:56 GMT Hello,
Does anybody know anything about these pills?
http://www.alphatinnitusformulas.com/
They have "money back guarantee" and all that - why would they do that if it doesn´t work anyway?
I´m in Europe - so it´s a bit expensive for me to buy it without knowing if it works at all....

Andy - 17 Sep 2005 11:57 GMT BTW :
Are these pills just "normal" Gingko Biloba or...?
Ben - 17 Sep 2005 12:50 GMT It looks as though they are a mixture:
For the first time ever the natural healing and clinically proven power of Vitamin A, Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Amino Acid Chelated Zinc, Magnesium, the powerful antioxidants Vitamin C and Vitamin E, plus Vitamin B12 have been combined to bring you one high potency tinnitus relief formula to dramatically relieve the effects of tinnitus within 60 to 90 days
You could buy all of these in Europe anyway?

Well, too much of anything isn't good for most of us, so I would try low doses first if I were you. You can always build up? I hope it works for you Andy.

I'm very wary about ginko biloba (has some very nasty potential side effects) and the other ingredients are simply vitamins along with zinc (all very inexpensive in any good multi-vitamin supplement). As far as what dosing and concentrations of the vitamins goes, this formulation is simply a "guess" anyway.
There are NO effective tinnitus formulas out there- just high priced "formulas" preying on those individuals desparate for a cure.
So again, just take a pass and save your money and disappointment and don't take the bait.

Larry Lix - 17 Sep 2005 19:45 GMT Don't bother even trying because there is absolutely no hope for any of us.
This attitude, demonstrated by many of our so-called "professionals" is the most narrow minded, disgusting thing to hold back mankind yet.
To repeat what the so-called medical "professionals" say in defence of their ignorance "Can you cite and proof or any semblance of double-blinded, peer reviewed test date to back up your ridiculous asinine claims?"
I doubt you will and now we shall only see an evasive technique, or more name calling, if any response at all from you.
Have a nice day

fyfpoon@gmail.com - 19 Sep 2005 01:17 GMT If you want to try it without the idea of having your money back, then go ahead. But don't do it with the idea you will have your money back.
Take take a gingko biloba tablet daily. Buy the pills from a good health food store nearby and save all that micky mousy running around. If you don't feel anything after a couple of weeks, then drop it. But if you do feel the change, you then decide whether or not you want to increase or decrease the dosage.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > if you do feel the change, you then decide whether or not you want to > increase or decrease the dosage. Is this how you fixed your dosage? By listening to the tinnitus sound and increasing or decreasing your dosage? Do you increase it by small amounts until the sound just goes away? Do you decrease the amount if your nose starts to bleed?
fyfpoon@gmail.com - 19 Sep 2005 05:36 GMT I have not had any bleeding problem and I don't think most people would with only ONE tablet OTC gingko. My doctor advised me to take TWO, one in the morning and one before dinner as dietary supplement. I am taking just one and have been doing it for over a year now. Gingko has other properties but I will leave it to you to find that out. The concern with the bleeding aspect of gingko is as much as that with aspirin. You decide how much gingko you take in exactly the same way you take aspirin. If one is too much for you or you experience a bleeding nose, cut it down into half. I have never run into anyone who has ended up with a bleeding nose or a stroke with only ONE gingko.
Your tinnitus sound does not ncessarily go away but in my case the use of gingko transformed my brain ring into ringing on the ear drum, and it softened the sound as well. That, according to the doctor, represents an improvement on my nerve.
Bart V - 19 Sep 2005 13:22 GMT If they would really work, what do you think the likelyhood would be that this newsgroup, alt.support.tinnitus, would exist? If they would really work then you would find them in the tinnitus section/shelf of all pharmacies and/or drugstores together with the vast number of products already available that are also clearly labeled "this product is certified and guaranteed to make tinnitus go away." If you're thinking they're natural products so they gotta be good, be sure to add these fine natural products to your must-have shopping list: hemlock, lead, curare, arsenic, asbestos, opium, mercury and of course, skunk squirt. At the proper dosage, all of these are guaranteed to make your tinnitus go away although the latter one, for freshness reasons, should first be tested in the store where you buy it.

Larry Lix - 20 Sep 2005 22:44 GMT He wouldn't know. The only point was to be ridiculous because he was taught not to agree with the idea.
