The primary reason for prior T treatment failures has been that the
treatments were only directed to the ear. Today we understand that the
nerve and the brain must be attended to.
=====================================
With the advancement of science, with man already being shot to the
moon, why has it taken so long for the high-tech doctors of the West
to realize that the cause of our tinnitus may go beyond our ears?
Would it be possible that whatever is acceptable as 'scientific' truth
is controlled by a mafia organization named the Medical Association,
which punishes its members from going beyond the set guidelines of
'science'?  As a matter of fact, practically *all* the ENT experts I
visited a few years ago homed onto my ears and nowhere else.  Only a
general physician suspected the cause of tinnitus might have come from
the nerve and he is the one who prescribed me ginkgo biloba.

In the subsequent development of my tinnitus, it was the  acupuncture
treatments that finally took care of my nerve discomfort and
tremendously cut down the T volume.  I told this experience to this ng
and did so much to the displeasure and skepticism of the 'habituation'
experts; the latter, of course, might have assumed that the world in
which we live is semi-spherical in shape.

I have confidence with acupuncture and I believe it is an effective
cure for tinnitus involving 'nerve', because I personally went through
it.

The following are the links that relate acupuncture treatment to a
certain type of tinnitus involving  nerve.  I think one of them is
'controlled' in nature:

My son's g/f was cured of tinnitus by accupuncture. She complained of
it quite badly and hasn't heard it for at least two years now.

Promoted negatism. This was the basic source of the severe flame wars
existing here and other groups a few years back.

The negative attitude is
- that nothing worked for me so there is nothing anybody can
do....give up
- if there isn't scientific evidence it can never work.
- be scared of any method, technique or supplement your doctor didn't
give you
- be afraid of anything you do not understand. How has religion
survived?

Funny, I remember the hippies in the 60s telling the world about the
ozone layer depletion and scientists telling the public it was
complete crap.

I remember the crazy nutcases telling people about dairy allergies and
food allergies in general. Doctors were taught in medical schools this
was mental illness.

I remember telling my brother to see an Accupuncturist for his
problems. He said "My problem isn't imaginary and I don't need a real
doctor". He died.

I guess, and I tell real people this all the time: I don't care what
your health beliefs are. If you are getting a certain health care
style and it isn't working, try a different philosophy. Forget the nay
sayers, go help yourself and stop whining.I find most people with
cronic problems swear they have tried everything and they are helpless
but when quized, nothing has been given a fair chance. That two days
of vitamin pills are always a waste of money. Or as the chem/cut
Doctors are taught. "expensive urine"

I was in a bus yesterday and I met a 2nd year medical STUDENT here in
China.  So I asked her what caused tinnitus.  She said:" Well, you
have to have your ear examined first, and if nothing wrong is found,
you have to go one step further to have your nerve and brain checked".

She is a STUDENT only.  And even a student is able to tell that the
ear is not separated from the rest of the body such as the nerve and
the brain.  Years ago when I complained about the nerve discomfort in
my head, both the 'habituation' doctors of America here in this ng and
the fancy doctors in the deluxe medical clinics in Hong Kong were
pretty impatient with my suggesting strongly a possible connection
between my nerve and my ear.  To them, if nothing wrong is found in
one's ear, it would simply mean there is nothing wrong with the other
parts of the body that 'could be' related to the ear.   And these are
DOCTORS... and these DOCTORS spent 7-8 years in medical schools to
become ear 'specialists'.

Well, perhaps if Dr. Nagler, Dr. Frank, Dr. Murray Grossan and Dr.Jim
Chinnis of America were invited to teach in China, they should become
students there first before taking up teaching.....LOL

Its difficult to know the point your trying to make.  If you're saying
that specialists in the USA think that there is no causal link between
the brain and the auditory nervous system, then I think you're under a
massive misapprehension, you might want to read this...

If your so smart why are you traveling by bus?  The Mercedes is in the
shop?

Do smart people necessarily have to travel in Mercedes?  Are all those
who travel in Mercedes necessarily smart people?

If you were such a smart native English speaker, how come you missed
the word 'are'  in "If your so smart why are you traveling by bus? "?

I think it is medication time for you.

Hi,

Sorry, I should have written, "you're".  I apologise, I write too
quickly, which is unfair and disrespectful.

What is your point here?  I have to say that all the doctors I have
visited have been very encouraging with regards to acupuncture.  Again
I would be surprised if there is a regular here who has not tried
it.

If you want to see how widely accepted acupuncture is in the UK you
might find this article more than interesting despite what it has to
say about the effectiveness on tinnitus.

The point was that practically all the high-tech fancy doctors I
visited focused on the ear for causes of my tinnitus.  When I asked
about the nerve, they would either say 'NO"  or tell me to talk to the
people in the neurology department.  These are not 'peasant' herb
doctors but doctors who graduated from places such as the University
of Edingburg.

 I have to say that all the doctors I have

*All* the doctors???  Have they ever read the double-blind controlled
studies performed by the high-tech American doctors which conclude
that acupuncture is ineffective for treating tinnitus?

Again

I have not done a survey in this ng but I am sure many here,
particularly the ones to whom Hollywood movies are their only source
of intellectual education, are trembling forward to trying
acupuncture.

The people in UK are exposed to a bigger variety of intellectual
substance such as that from Europe than those hillbillies whose only
source is Hollywood movies.

I think it is always a mistake to generalise about countries in the
manner that you have done here.  I think you enjoy trading insults,
and it just might be the reason you come here.  You say that your
tinnitus is much reduced, so why come here, what is the big deal for
you?  We have all read your views on GB and acupuncture.  I think the
majority of people who come to this group are probably very bright,
well educated, and more importantly very concerned about their
condition.

No country has so many leading universities as the USA, 17 out of the
top 20 are US, and that is the conclusion of a Chinese study.  The
Metropolitan Opera house has been the worlds best for close to a
century.  Silicon Valley, and the Bay Area is testament to the
practical level of intelligence that exists in the US.  Their
contribution to literature is immense, think of Bellow, Eliot, Grey,
Plath, Irving, etc.,

Some of the finest Movies have been American, rather than compile a
list you might want to check out the following; http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

The majority are US films.

I think this sort of abusive posting is best done elsewhere.  Many
come here in real distress, some will be more than scared, they should
not have to read silly allegations about their education system, or
have their country belittled by someone looking for a petty argument.

Best regards

Do hillbillies necessarily imply all Americans?  Are the Americans the
only people whose source of education is the Hollywood movies?

You have not even asked me to define the parameters of my use of
'hillbillies'.  Hillbillies refer to people like yourself who like to
run away with a word or a phrase you find disagreeable in other
people's posts and you afterwards like to speak on behalf of the
collectives---in a way that is reminiscient of "this is what other
people say about you" in the mannerism of the uneducated islanders--
and do so righteously and with dignity like an old dinosaur.
jrw - 14 Oct 2007 18:25 GMT
I will ignore the insulting nature of your remarks.  No dictionary
defines hillbilly in the manner that you do.  Just in case you don't
know, the Cambridge Dictionary definition of the word is:

hillbilly
noun [C] US OLD-FASHIONED DISAPPROVING
a person from a mountainous area of the US who has a simple way of
life and is considered to be slightly stupid by people living in towns
and cities.

In no way was I definitive in describing the collective, or would you
like me to post a definition of the word 'probably' for you.

Please explain this paragraph...

"The people in UK are exposed to a bigger variety of intellectual
substance such as that from Europe than those hillbillies whose only
source is Hollywood movies."

I doubt the meaning is lost on other posters.  You are here to bait.
Which is a shame considering the nature of the group.  Since your
tinnitus has recovered to such an extent, you might consider finding
some other hapless newsgroup to share your opinions.  Surely your work
here is done.

Best regards

Let us illustrate to you what I meant by a person being a
'hillbilly'.

The person who wrote the following is a typical example of a
'hillbilly'"

"If your so smart why are you traveling by bus?  The Mercedes is in
the
shop?

Best regards

John "
-----------------------------
A hillbilly thinks anyone in a big fancy car must be a smart person
while those on public transport must not be smart.  This illusion is
sometimes carried by the Hollywood movies.  Mind you, the influence of
the Hollywood movies is everywhere, in the US mainland and amongst the
islanders of the world.

Whatever or whoever your interlocutor is an issue entirely separated
from what you wish to establish as a part of the argument.  Your job
here is to prove a 'Hillbilly theory' which espouses that smart people
don't take public transportation but have to be on fancy cars.

First off, mine was a humourous dig at a person who seems to think
that he is oh so clever.  A person that can divine the speech cadences
of an islander as opposed to those who live on the mainland.  That he
can denigrate the one man on here who most of us come on to read.
That he is happy to use the most transparent and tangential syllogism
to make the most obtuse points. (I hope you appreciate the humour in
the last sentence).  Actually I respect those who choose to travel by
public transport.

I think you are a lovely hillbilly from UK.  Inspite of your being a
UK hillbilly, you do have an intelligency quotient higher than many
ear specialists in the UK and America.

When I first contracted tinnitus and started looking into stuff
written by Western doctors, the focus was more on the brain and
nervous system, than the ear.
And the primary factor was psychology. It's not the ringing that was
the problem, it's how I reacted to the ringing that was the problem.
So in order to get over my tinnitus, I had to fix my brain - not fix
my ears.

Some comes from the brain, some from the ear, some from even
bones..........and I believe some are 'psychological'..

Did you teach 'habituation' to the Chinese medical students?  How
about double-blind randomized experiments on acupuncture ?
