Hi,

I want to know what drugs are given with HBO?

I have tinnitus for 75 days now, and finally found a HBO clinic in my
area that would treat me, but this clinic is not used to treat tinnitus
patients, so I think that they wouldn't know anything about drugs that
should be taken with HBO for tinnitus. I start tomorrow.

PS. I now take a multivitamin/day, and B-50-complex/day, and Magnesium
400mg/day, and 400E/d, and zinc 25/day, and omega 3, and started a few
days ago also 540mg/day of Gingko Biloba.

I know of no drug specifically given for HBO Rx for tinnitus. Although the
europeans have claimed good results with tinnitus, we have not seen this and
I don't recommend this for my patients. By the way, I have a certificate in
HBO therapy.

I can tell you my own experience here in China as I myself went through
it.

Practically all T patients going into the chamber are given blood
vessel dilating medicine in the form of intravenous injection.

HBO did  not help me. And I wish I had not gone to be contained in that
medal tube and later on that metal chamber with people for 2 hours.
However, *some* patients did indicate improvement.

I think where it helps with HBO is for the blood vessel dilating
medicine to be absorbed better.

You are the only person that can tell.  Try it once or twice.  If you
experience NOTHING, drop it.

I think your gingko, which is a blood thinning medicine, is enough.

"HBO did  not help me. And I wish I had not gone to be contained in

Why do you wish you hadn't gone through it? Did it have side effects
on you?

"However, *some* patients did indicate improvement"
"Try it once or twice.  If you experience NOTHING, drop it."

Do you know if for people for whom it helped, did it work right at the
start, at the first or second time?

PS. I was there today, and I think there was no change, maybe a little
change.
PS2.  The pressure at the chamber is 1 bar over regular atmosphere. Is
that enough?

Just try it a few times and see if it works for *you*.  That is all it
counts.  You don't need any more med.  YOur blood thinning gingko is
enough. A guy I know was rushed to the HBO chamber as soon as he was
diagnosed with T.  He was totally cured.

I experienced no side-effect.  Just getting bored inside with a bunch
of patients.  If there had been some pretty looking girls inside, I
would have spoken of the experience more highly!.

So how come the scientific research doesn't show this?

The concept of dilating the blood vessels for Tinnitus was discarded 25
years ago. There is no relation.

(1)It is virtually impossible for me to rationalize between what the
patients in the HBO chamber indicated to me and what you find from
*all* the scientific research in the world.
And I am not sure if you have read *all* the scientific reserach in the
*whole* world.  A search under Yahoo reveals some success stories which
you may discard as UN-scientific.

(2)Blood vessel dilating may not be connected to T _directly_ but may
do so _indirectly. Right?  Please read my other post "allow your body
to treat your T' to get the idea.  OUr body is a very complex
inter-related mechanism.  Never say never...Murray.
