Not to step on anyone's toes here, but it's kind of alarming to me that anyone who has tinnitus, which is a symptom of systemic imbalance in the body, would consider joining a trial for a drug that alters the body's natural course of function and fills it with all kinds of synthetic chemicals in doing so.

What greater evidence does a person need of this truth - and to keep themselves from being human lab rat's, which they already are incidentally if they eat non-organic food or they live in a modern society filled with environmental toxins - than the fact that hundreds of popular medications themselves are established causes of tinnitus.

It's also kind of disturbing to me that people generally believe that the drug companies, whose existence and prosperity is based on a funny thing called a profit scheme, would want to cure a disease that they make hundreds of millions of dollars each year perpetually "treating" or "managing."

This would be a violation to their legally binding agreement to their shareholders.

Here's an article detailing the role medications play in the world of tinnitus - and let's just say it's not so medicinal:

Well said altongreyson. But at the same time you cant blame people for wanting to try almost anything to make the noise stop.

If my choice is jump off a bridge due to tinnitus OR hopefully find some form of treatment I don't care how many toxins are in my body. Better to have one toxined up than have a toxin free body underground. Good that you don't suffer from anything that you might have to take these awful pharmacuticals.

Welcome to the forum altongreyson. I take it you joined the forum today to suggest the "Tinnitus Miracle 5-step holistic system" which is in your link. Perhaps you can tell us how it has helped you with your tinnitus.

In response to BobsDream,

Although you are by no means doing anyone a disservice here by mentioning that the website I linked to happens to be sponsored by a product called Tinnitus Miracle (which I have not promoted here and have no information about), I believe you are mistaking this website's affiliations for my contribution to this forum.

I joined the forum to inform people, for instance, about the hundreds of medications that are proven by the Physicians Desk reference to cause tinnitus. It seems to me that there might be more than a few people on this forum who are on a prescription medication or have taken advil in there lifetimes and would like to know that they are potentially causing their own particular circle of tinnitus hell.

If you'd like to debate the merits of pharmaceutical medicine for resolving health issues such as tinnitus I am more than happy to oblige with a civil and hopefully informative (as I am open to changing my opinion based on new facts you may present to me) discussion.

ahhh, i didnt notice the link at the end of altongreyson's post BobsDream ;)

You've posted a link to a Tinnitus Miricle "sponsored" website in three different threads in your first 24 hours as a member. Forgive me if I've doubted your intentions.
