I've just done my first B12 test and it's really low. I have Crohn's for 3 years and digestive issues for longer than that which probably led to malabsorption.
I also experience low iron and low hemoglobin which is connected to B12 since I think B12 is necessary to make hemoglobin.
When I look...
I did a post a few months ago on the connection between tinnitus and serotonin - i.e. using anti-serotonin drugs may treat tinnitus. Since tinnitus is almost always a precursor state to hearing loss (and eventually deafness), the two conditions obviously go hand-in-hand and are likely caused by...
I wanted to post this in case there is value in it for others experiencing similar issues.
In recent months I have been really struggling with what I suspected to be Ménière’s disease or Labyrinthitis. Symptoms were a constant feeling of vertigo/dizziness that would flare up in acute attacks...
Ever since the start of puberty, I sometimes have had times when I temporarily for a few seconds have like hearing loss in the left ear, like it gets overwhelmed by this sudden sound sometimes for a few seconds and then returns to normal it doesn't happen often but I feel like it happens more...
There is currently an epidemic of tinnitus (ear ringing) and hearing loss in virtually all developed countries. Experts are scratching heads and are failing to come up with a reason/explanation for this epidemic. As it often happens, the cause is often hidden in plain sight and if one follows...
The two conditions mentioned in the title of the post are quite pervasive among Western societies and their cause is, of course, officially labelled as unknown. While medicine claims that no treatment exists for tinnitus the only approved curative treatment for hemorrhoids is surgery and like...
It is common knowledge that several NASID drugs, including aspirin, cause hearing issues at higher doses. This new research found that the mechanism of action is by competition with chloride ions for activation of the hearing protein called prestin. This suggests a possible method of blocking...
Most of the people on this forum know about the connection between gut irritation and tinnitus. Ray said a few times that endotoxin can directly cause tinnitus but I don't think he has talked about the role of serotonin as a causative agent, even tough endotoxin will increase serotonin synthesis...
There have been very few studies in successful treatments of tinnitus. Taurine and phospholipids are the two most commonly discussed OTC remedies that have some evidence behind them. This study adds magnesium as another possible option. More importantly it implicates the NMDA receptor as...
My Gf

Today she went to the doc and he perscribed " betahistine mepha"
Now all my research on this Forum is that tinnitus is most...
Is there a close equivalent to Aspirin?
Through trial and error I noticed I am quite AAS sensitive (tinnitus, overall feeling, etc.) and am wondering if there is a "safer" alternative.
The study claims that the beneficial effects is due to caffeine. If tinnitus is commonly caused by stomach issues, then caffeine is probably protective for the gut. I posted a study some time ago that showed caffeine being protective for IBS, and excessive gut serotonin...
Hi guys, I'm new here and I'm a 22 year old male and I have a question about a medication that Dr. Peat recommended to me. I explained that I had some allergies so he recommended a drug called Periactin (cyproheptadine) According to Wikipedia, it is a first-generation antihistamine with...
