Dear Olga,

Patients who come to me with unwanted noise filling their
head non-stop are among the most frustrated. You can’t
sleep. You can’t read. It’s tough to concentrate on
anything.

When I went to medical school, like all beginning
doctors, I had to learn a new language. We doctors have
different words for everything. So we don’t call it
“ringing in your ears.” We call it tinnitus.

Problem is, all those fancy new words aside, doctors just
don’t seem to be able to do a darn thing to fix the
problem.

Most doctors say you’ll get used to it eventually. That
you just have to live with it. Some even blame you for
causing it – all those years listening to music too
loudly or working near noisy machinery.

But there are other causes of tinnitus. Taking
antibiotics, having chronic ear infections, even food
allergies cause the disorder.

And you can make the ringing stop. While some doctors
will put you on anti-depressants or tranquilizers to help
numb your mind, I’ve found some natural remedies can make
tinnitus disappear.

Ginkgo biloba. Over 40 clinical studies show that ginkgo
eases tinnitus. For example, a German study of tinnitus
sufferers shows that ginkgo reduces ringing.1 Another
review of studies says taking ginkgo for one to three
months has a significantly greater reduction and speedier
relief.

Even Germany’s Commission E, which regulates supplements,
officially endorses ginkgo as a treatment for tinnitus. I
recommend 80 mg three times a day.

Vinpocetine. If loud noises caused your tinnitus,
vinpocetine may be the answer. In one study, tinnitus
disappeared in half of those who took it within one week
of trauma.

Even if you don’t take it right away, it can lessen the
severity. Regardless of the time lapse since the trauma,
66 percent had a significant decrease. I recommend 20 mg
a day.

CoQ10. A British study found that tinnitus sufferers with
low levels of CoQ10 benefited significantly from CoQ10
supplements.

Get your blood levels checked. If your CoQ10 levels are
below 3 to 4 mcg/ml, you’ll want to take a supplement. I
recommend 50 mg of the ubiquinol form of CoQ10. The
ubiquinol form is 8 times more powerful than regular
CoQ10. It’s more absorbable so it keeps your blood levels
high.

As I mentioned, food allergies can sometimes cause
tinnitus. You can take a test to find out which foods
your body can’t tolerate. It’s called the ALCAT Test.
It’s a simple blood test. And you get an easy-to-read
report telling you which foods to avoid. By eliminating
certain foods, you may be able to cure your tinnitus. Ask
your doctor about it.

Plus, there’s another great resource you should use. I’ve
been on the panel of experts at the Health Sciences
Institute for many years. They’ve put together one of the
most comprehensive books I’ve seen on the subject. It’s
filled with solutions your doctor doesn’t know about. You
can learn more about how to handle your tinnitus
including:

* Foods that cause – and cure – tinnitus

* Which common drugs have tinnitus as a side effect

* What diseases could contribute to tinnitus

* How yoga breathing exercises may bring relief

* Massage techniques that can provide comfort

* The most effective treatments you can use

* And much more.

The book contains a wealth of information that can help
you.

I suggest you check out this special offer now.

To Your Good Health,
