Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / April 2007Stand on your head for T
Interesting thing I just noticed. When I stand on my head, my T gets a little worse. Then when I stand up normally, I hear what sounds like sand falling. This doesn't last very long though. Or maybe I'm just losing my mind.....:) When you stand on your head, your spine is compressed, especially around the neck. This might be indicative of something, but I don't know what. I'll try some inversion stuff so there's no compression on the upper spine. It sure feels nice though. An exercise ball works well for this IF you use your hands to control the roll of the ball. Your hands should grasp something, not the floor so you can move yourself around to get the exact right position. I've noticed something like this. When tired if I touch my toes, there is an increase in volume, then standing up the noise part of the T goes away for a second, but the ringing part stays. I think it's blood pressure.

Doing head stands when you have T can be dangerous. Often there is an increase in fluid pressure associated with T and the head stand can add to that pressure. Even "normal" persons can raise their CF pressure enough to rupture the round window of the inner ear. > > I've noticed something like this.

And does anyone think that diving underwater for T sufferers should be done with more caution than normal? I wonder if it makes our ears more prone to pressure injuries? Did most T sufferers often have earaches? I heard that they are usually occur with people with smaller than normal ear canals. I wonder if there are any connections there. I have narrow ear canals and I had what felt like an ear infection a month or two after the onset from accoustic trauma. Some itchy pains for a month after. Nothing painful since then. > I have narrow ear canals and I had what felt like an ear infection a > month or two after the onset from accoustic trauma. Some itchy pains > for a month after. Nothing painful since then. Did you have frequent ear infections during childhood? This often occurs with people with narrower than average ear canals. No, not that I recall. I did have numersous tonsil infections. I wonder if those antibiotics were ototoxic... I think Murry may have meant Cerebrospinal Fluid. I've never had much interest in medicine, but T drives me to more research. I wonder if there is a connection there with migraine foods that some warn against for T... I have very low blood pressure and cholesterol myself. Does anyone know if salt affects T only because of blood pressure increase? > No, not that I recall. I did have numersous tonsil infections.

I've been on a zero salt intake for about 4 years. Its easy when you're on a raw food kick. And mine has gotten much worse (though by know means serious yet) in the last few months. Your mineral balance is probably so out of wack from this ridiculous 1980's medical fairy tale, it may be causing your tinnitus. Sodium is an essential mineral necessary to maintain life. That low sodium = low blood pressure lost it's medical validity 20 years ago. Your pH balance is probably way to acidic. This can lead to many illnesses. > I've been on a zero salt intake for about 4 years. Its easy when > you're on a raw food kick.

True. I have lots of sodium in my diet. Just no sodium chloride. There is a world of difference. There is no sodium chloride in any natural food. I also have not eaten a gram of processed food in several years (since going 100% raw). You lose the craving for junk food. Its wonderful not be tempted by pizza, baking, fried foods, etc. Food freedom at last. Many other that have gone 100% raw have found the same thing. I guess it just satisfies you. > That low sodium = low blood pressure lost it's medical validity 20 years ago. > Your pH balance is probably way to acidic. This can lead to many > illnesses. I'm in great health. Very fit. Great energy. Almost 50 now, very lean - perfect 6 pack. BP usually about 110/70. A while back someone asked me if I'm still in university....I don't look my age at all. Salt is a crutch. For real health investigate raw foods using mono eating. Wait until you're really hungry, then go to a store and eat only 1 organic food (any raw fruit, vegetable, nut or seed or sprouted bean/grain/legume/bean) to your fill. Pick what your body craves at that moment. Because that is what your body needs nutritionally at that moment. So simple. If you live far from a store, its not so easy. You have to have a wide selection of food at home. For a large family this shouldn't be difficult. For a single person, the solution is to live close to a store. I mentioned organic because it has far more nutrients and just tastes so much better. Periodic water fasting just augments all this even better. This is all good stuff. I know there is something to the "food mixing" diets proposed by the Diamonds and their spinoff Susanne Somers. You are probably correct about the chloride thing. Chlorine has been making mankind sick in so many forms throughout history. > I'm in great health. Very fit. Great energy. Almost 50 now, very > lean - perfect 6 pack. BP usually about 110/70.

Chlorine has been > making mankind sick in so many forms throughout history. Don't know about Chlorine except its a poison and kills bacteria well. Serious swimmers often have respiratory problems though when spending multiple hours in the water every day. Many pools are going to other water disinfecting methods like ozone. But the main tip is that salt makes you thirsty. And that is a clear indication that the body is ridding itself of something not needed or wanted. Also, salt is never missed once eradicated from the diet. For most people this takes a few days. But it also means you'll pretty much never eat anything out of a can or package again! You'll also save a pile of money because of it - money that can finance the high cost of organics! > > No, not that I recall. I did have numersous tonsil infections.

And mine has gotten much worse (though by > know means serious yet) in the last few months. I usually find that walking outside is good for it. Its usually eliminated or reduced. Maybe its the movement in the spine? Also, how many of you have tried soaking your neck in the tub? Many, including myself, find it reduces or eliminates T, at least temporarily. Perhaps the heat of the water limbers up the upper spine. If there really is a correlation here, anything that is an inflammatory (and sugar is an inflammatory among many things) may aggravate it. Often skipping a meal or 2 results in far less joint pain.

Does it matter? I have patients with Hydrops who do well, go to party Sat Nite and without realizing it eat everything salty in sight and they are back with their symptoms Monday. But this is Cochlear Hydrops. T can be nerve, brain or ear. Trying to figure out which is tough. > Nothing to do with blood pressure, but rather the fluid pressure in the > innner ear. > But this is Cochlear Hydrops. > T can be nerve, brain or ear. Trying to figure out which is tough. Could this be related to the feeling like there is water in my ear (feels like middle ear, like swimmers ear)? This went on many months after onset. I think I was prone before the acoustic trauma - malnurishment, remnants of ototoxins, bad posture, sensitive musician. The fluid is a minor discomfort, but occasionally a pain. If it's in the middle ear it should drain as long as the e-tube isn't congested, but I do worry; what does sleeping on my side do? How about saunas? Do hydrops ever leave the inner ear? Should I look into the suggestion of anti-inflamitory ear drops? Many Thanks It is happening again. At 2 months and now at 6, there is fluid in my ears. Occasionally there is pressure and rolling on my side at night, the upper ear can have pain. This is not due to standing on my head - I don't play with that. More likely heat from a hot bath (too tall to dunk my head.) I have no hearing loss, but minor T. Hopefully it's just toxins leaving. Any input welcome. Could it be a ruptured round window or reissner's membrane? >It is happening again. At 2 months and now at 6, there is fluid in my >ears.

It is more likely to be due to tension in your neck muscles. Just think about it. What is happening during the day that could be setting up tension in your body?

I bet that's the cause of most of T suffering. And probably aggravated by joint diseases like arthritis and injuries in that area earlier in life. > It is happening again.

Its nice to be able to dial in the angle and just let it pull the spine gently the opposite way that gravity always compresses. Pesky gravity. > More likely heat from a hot bath (too tall to dunk my head.) Scrunch your knees up? That should work. You want to dunk your upper neck, not necessarily the whole head I think. That pulls on the back of the neck and spine quite hard though. <poster header prev. snipped> >> More likely heat from a hot bath (too tall to dunk my head.) > > Scrunch your knees up?
