http://www.pdrhealth.com/drugs/altmed/altmed-mono.aspx? contentFileName=ame0120.xml&contentName=Melatonin&contentId=283 What is it? Melatonin is a hormone that is used to treat sleeping problems and jet lag. It is also used in cancer, primary (essential) hypertension, headaches, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). This is the first time I've seen this connection with tinnitus. Does anyone have any experience with melatonin that they can share? thanks > http://www.pdrhealth.com/drugs/altmed/altmed-mono.aspx? > contentFileName=ame0120.xml&contentName=Melatonin&contentId=283 > What is it? > Melatonin is a hormone that is used to treat sleeping problems and jet > lag.

I'm aware that there are many charlatans out there, but when I see a comment on what looks like a reputable site one reasonable way to check the truth is to ask for verification. In the same vein goji berries make a similar claim. http://www.health-report.co.uk/goji_berry.html regards On 1/31/08 9:36 AM, in article 01a0c2be$0$18953$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com, >> http://www.pdrhealth.com/drugs/altmed/altmed-mono.aspx? >> contentFileName=ame0120.xml&contentName=Melatonin&contentId=283 [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > There have been reports of using Melatonin as a sleep aid for Tinnitus.

Years ago, I was suffering from severe insomnia in college, partly due to the intake of instant coffee, which was found out later on. But there are occasions in which I did not take instant coffee but still could not sleep and I wondered. Then later on, I discovered the use of non-alcoholic beer solved the problem. The herbalist explanation was that there was too much 'fire' or 'yan' energy inside my system, which caused insomnia and constipation. These problems were later on neutralized by the consumption of non-alcoholic beer, which is filled with 'yin' energy. > In article <Lo2dnVtzSbhaAjnanZ2dnUVZ_u-un...@golden.net>, > Janice@hurtmail..com says...

What you did there is another example of getting advice from a trusted source and checking it out. My GP is a sympathetic doctor but his advice is limited anyway as here in the UK surgeries move further away from refering to alternative practices. In the end I know that my health is in my hands, but it's still hard for me not to have the backing of the doc when trying alternatives. I'm not speaking of n-a beer! but stopping what he's givem me to try something else. > In article <8f6fd0ef-7cfc-438a-b3f6-191b8230dbf4 > @s19g2000prg.googlegroups.com>, fyfp...@gmail.com says...

Actually a lot of our illnesses can be solved very easily and cheaply. But because the methods used are so Inexpensive, this upsets the medical establishment that has high overheads. Surgery is what brings in the money and thus forms the 'profit centre'. Skin disease is another area where the solutions to a lot of tough skin diseases are very simple. Use a surphur soap to begin with... Geeez. try the melatonin! It works wonders at times. If you were in the US you could get it at the cashiers checkout counter with the Vit C & chocolate bars for a few dollars. It is illegal in Canada but still available for the big buck black market price. > In article <8f6fd0ef-7cfc-438a-b3f6-191b8230dbf4 > @s19g2000prg.googlegroups.com>, fyfpoon@gmail.com says...

I use it sometimes, if I have trouble sleeping, but learning to tune out the T is better over the long haul if you can learn to not listen. The Gabapentin doesn't leave much of a hangover the next day, if you take only 300mg. My T is always there and fairly loud but learning to ignore it is the best treatment. There are training CDs available if you need them. > On 1/31/08 9:36 AM, in article 01a0c2be$0$18953$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > of my patients have use it and felt that it helps. There was a report that > recommended it. I did a 60 day trial of Melatonin after a friend told me about that report. Didn't help me but it was worth a try. cheers Paul I keep a bottle of sublingual melatonin at my bedside. While I have never heard of any direct benefits for tinnitus sufferers, it does work very well for sleep disorders of any kind. Melatonin is reported to being one of the most powerful anti-oxidants as well as a cancer preventative and sleep/mood disorder assist. The key is to supplement you body's melatonin cycles and enhance them. Do not take during the day or light hours. Apparently this can increase you chances of disease by going against you body clock cycles. This effect can be further enhanced by getting strong sunlight on your retinas early in the morning. This "shuts off" your melatonin production and causes the levels to rebound at night time, offering better, more relaxed sleep. Melatonin is good for jet lag, body clock adjusting also. I would recommend it if you lose sleep for any reason, including tinnitus. It is worth a try for the cheap price paid. > http://www.pdrhealth.com/drugs/altmed/altmed-mono.aspx? > contentFileName=ame0120.xml&contentName=Melatonin&contentId=283 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > anyone have any experience with melatonin that they can share? > thanks On 1/31/08 6:39 PM, in article VImdneXObJTlGz_anZ2dnUVZ_iydnZ2d@golden.net, > Melatonin is good for jet lag, body clock adjusting also. That is correct. As for the claims of cancer prevention - that is way off. Recall that only in the US are claims of PRESCRIPTION drugs subject to sscrutiny. The rest of the claims fro non prescription "natural supplements" can be as imaginary as any huckster wishes. >On 1/31/08 6:39 PM, in article VImdneXObJTlGz_anZ2dnUVZ_iydnZ2d@golden.net, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >sscrutiny.
