Tinnitus: The Fourth Phase of Water

This post is for tinnitus researchers. After watching the linked videos of Dr. Pollack's research you may want to consider whether or not the auditory system contains EZ water (a.k.a. The Fourth Phase of Water).

If the auditory system does contain EZ water then it may be acting more like a water pump, during electromagnetic radiation overexposure, and less like an air vibration-to-sound translation system (which is the auditory system's normal function).

I rarely recommend products on this site. I have to know the product will benefit the readers. This is a book that I highly recommend. It costs around $30 which is less than a cup of coffee each day for a month. The book is a must read.

Tinnitus: Taser

Disclaimer: Law enforcement officers that may be reading this post shouldn't be offended. I'm pointing out the potential flaws of the taser not law enforcement or the legal system.

As we are recently learning, electromagnetic radiation can remap the hippocampus and basal ganglia of the brain and cause health issues (including tinnitus). The electricity administered by a taser may change the shelf life of cells in the body and cause acute and latent effects (including tinnitus).

The biological effects of taser shock should be reconsidered and restudied and stricter regulations should be considered. It may be possible for a person who has experienced taser shock to begin to experience tinnitus or other health issues from 1-20 years after the taser event.

In police officer training, some cadets volunteer to experience taser shock in order to experience what suspects feel (and perhaps a little cadet bravado is involved). That one shock event could change the cadet's cells and even reduce his or her lifespan.

Electric shock can change the timing mechanisms inside of human cells. This includes cochlear cells that are suspended in liquid which conducts the current. The possibility exists that taser shock can kill the cochlear cells and cause damage to the auditory system. Taser clearly has effects on the central nervous system which is a biological effect. The auditory system is very delicate. Why wouldn't the auditory system be affected?

I understand and am sympathetic to the protections that tasers provide for police officers. If a suspect is truly innocent before proven guilty then is it right to administer a weapon that causes biological effects that may not show up until years after the suspect's trial?

Consider that Huxley and Hodkin won a Nobel Peace Prize for determining that electricity is conducted by and also burns brain axons. This, in turn, may cause lymphocyte cells to attack the altered brain cells.

Suspects are often questioned by police officers immediately after the taser event. "Who are you? Where were you going? Am I going to find anything illegal on you or in your vehicle? Is this your vehicle? Why were you resisting?"

The suspect may have lost the ability to reason properly enough to remain silent. In essence, the taser may (I stress the word may) have made the suspect unable to remain silent which is a violation of their constitutional right in the United States. This should be studied further.

Metal objects can create a localized field and so any dental work that the suspect has or jewelry that the suspect is wearing, particularly earrings, may make the electrical current worse in the brain by concentrating the shock in those areas and intensifying the effects. This is why MRI specialists ask for all metal objects to be removed prior to entering the MRI.

The localized field phenomena can affect the mid-brain (which we now know is responsible for Parkinson's disease and some tinnitus). In essence, hyper-electric shock between the dental fillings and the earrings, nose ring, etc. could intensify the power and burn axons inside of the suspects brain. If a suspect is wearing a necklace then the heart may experience the brunt force of the shock.

The people who die from taser shock are often pronounced dead for other reasons and not the taser. That needs to be reviewed because it points to a sacred cow mentality and has more to do with the affinity of some people for the short-term effectiveness of the taser than the actual scientific biological effects on the human being that is being shocked.

When the cells inside the heart are heated they oscillate quicker and within seconds break apart. Inside of the cells are delicate strands of DNA. They break apart. When too many cells break apart the brain and heart give up. It can be likened to being shot in the heart or head, for some people.

In my opinion, taser should never ever be used on a pregnant women. There have been a number of studies that show the effects of electricity on developing mammal babies. None of the results were good. The babies cells are more delicate than an adult's cells, especially baby fat that is highly conductive material. The umbilical chord may even act as a conductive wire. Apart from sending nutrients from the mother to the baby it is also sending electrical stimulation. To shock the mother is to shock the baby. The shocked baby may live but will likely be endowed with a life of chronic health issues and no one would be able to attribute the issues back to when the mother experienced taser shock.

I believe that some people may be more sensitive to electric shock than others due to body composition and individual resonance. In my view everyone has their own unique body resonance and conductivity.

The manufacturers of tasers wrongly point to the idea that the skin acts as a "Faraday Shield." Therefore, in their minds, there are no long-term health effects. That's a good talking point. I mean, it sounds reasonable? Why look any further into it? Penn State University looked into this and you can find the results in the attached link.

The skin is pierced by two metal prongs during a taser event so no, there is no Faraday Shield. Even if there was a Faraday Shield protection, biophysicists that do not work for the electronics industry would tell you that on average 15% of the electricity would still penetrate into deep tissue and travel rapidly to the localized field sources. 85% of the electricity would be fought off by the interaction with the skin but not without cost. This is according to Persinger.

The fighting off of the electricity itself would knock the immune system down and cause all kinds of acute and latent health problems. Researchers and regulators, there's work to be done here. You need to go to Persinger, Curtis, and Sulman. Find their writings and reassess the standards. See the Penn State University's research link below. They pointed out that taser is 13 times more jolting per second than what regulators allow for an electric fence.

If a taser shocked suspect is found innocent but suffers from latent health conditions then that person may be being punished with chronic health issues for life for a crime that he or she did not commit. I know, many people are found innocent that are actually guilty. But dare I ask, does the long-term latent effects of electroshock match the crime? I wouldn't wish chronic severe tinnitus, Parkinson's disease, lupus, leukemia, or Chrones disease, blood disease, heart failure, brain cancer, psychosis, or infertility on anyone but the harshest of criminals. Yet, if I'm right, these are the possible latent effects that may show up 1-20 years after the shock.

It may be time to return to pepper spray as the method of subduing and arresting an uncooperative suspect. Perhaps, at a minimum, physical taser training should no longer be performed on our valuable police officer cadets.

Tinnitus: PBS News Hour

This is a link to the PBS News Hour report on tinnitus: A must see.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/science/july-dec13/tinnitus_11-06.html

The researchers in the report seem to not know how the damage happened to the basal ganglia. It's simple really. As F.G. Sulman described in 1980, it is electric air pollution (inhalation of positive ions) and overexposure to electromagnetic radiation. Select these links:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1241519/pdf/ehp0111-000881.pdf

Print both of these articles out for side-by-side comparison. The results are astounding. I would venture to say that an electron, which travels at light speed, that breaks the blood brain barrier would be absorbed or pass through the basal ganglia and the hippocampus causing heating and untold damage. The brain stresses and tries to repair itself by remapping. That is my theory.

Tinnitus: Ionizer


The National Institute for Health determined that ozone producing ionizers are not a valid treatment for tinnitus and that no further research is suggested.

Although not scientifically proven, negative ionizers, anecdotally by many users, cause a more positive mood and better sleep. The problem is that some ionizers produce ozone which, when inhaled, can cause tinnitus and or worsen tinnitus in some people (according to F.G. Sulman). So, the user feels great but then the tinnitus starts or worsens, for some people. 

Any ionizer has to be "negative ion producing" and "non-ozone producing" to have any health benefit.  Never use a positive ion or ozone producing machine. Depending on the dosage it can do irreparable harm to the pineal gland, the sinuses, and the brain.

Tinnitus: Serotonin Syndrome

In 1980, Felix Gad Sulman was researching the biological effects of positive ions (a.k.a. electric air pollution) on humans. During his research he discovered that positive ions, when inhaled, travel through the blood stream via the alveoli in the lungs and cause a number of health issues.

On the way to the lungs the positive ions enter the nasal passages and this, according to Sulman, triggers the pineal gland to produce excess serotonin. Among the health issues that he lists as part of this serotonin syndrome is tinnitus.

He likely discovered a correlation between acute (short-term) tinnitus and serotonin syndrome because chronic tinnitus would have been too difficult for him to condense into the scope of such a study. Noise induced cochlear cilia cell amputation wouldn't be able to be cured by serotonin control medications or as he suggests using non-ozone producing negative ionizers. He mentions that negative ions can only be good for the body but positive ions are not good for the body. Perhaps there is some cause for further research regarding this phenomenon.

Sulman further mentions a solution, that if non-ozone producing negative ionizer machines are used that the original positive ion intake can be reversed. If he is right, then it would make logical sense that negative ion machines reduce the length of time that it takes for ion induced acute tinnitus to cure itself. I want to stress the word acute (not chronic tinnitus). There is a difference. Acute always cures itself.

The central question for researchers is: Can non-ozone producing negative ion machines reduce the time that it takes for acute tinnitus to cure itself after positive ion inhalation?

This research finding by Sulman fascinated me. Amazon.com sells his book and the negative ionizers. I ordered a negative ionizer yesterday. When it arrives, I'll test it out and let you all know the result.

I have chronic severe tinnitus not acute tinnitus so I have my doubts. Just because a non-ozone producing negative ionizer might not work for me doesn't mean that it wouldn't work for someone else. My cilia cells are damaged beyond repair at this point, they are non-regenerative. I'm ever hopeful.

Tinnitus: Anti-NMDA Receptor AutoImmune Encephalitis

I just read an outstanding book titled Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan, a New York Post reporter.

The medical condition that she describes occurs when lymphocyte cells start attacking blood vessels in the brain and also brain NMDA receptors. While reading the book it occurred to me that the condition may also cause tinnitus. Cochlear cells have NMDA receptors which the National Institute for Health has determined that ototoxins, like aspirin and acid reflux medications, attack. Therefore it makes sense that Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis would also cause tinnitus in some patients (just like an ototoxin would).

In reading Susannah's book I noticed that she was prescribed acid reflux medication for her GERD side effect from treatment. Acid reflux medications can lower magnesium in some people and also can cause tinnitus in some people by attacking the NMDA receptors inside the cochlea (just like Susannah's lymphocyte cells did).

Upon reading the section of the book where she mentions that acid reflux medication was prescribed to her during her treatment I cringed a bit. I thought to myself that this talented New York Post reporter is getting bombarded with an ototoxic drug while her brain killing condition is worsening. This shows that more doctors need to be aware of the long-term effects of ototoxins. Otherwise her doctor did an awesome job of saving her life (that is the most important thing). She was also given a CT scan which can destroy DNA. The CT scan does not reveal lymphocyte cells, only a brain biopsy shows that so the CT scan was not necessary.

In my opinion, she should have been given the absolute mildest form of acid reflux control which would have been Gaviscon. The ototoxin that she was administered could have made her ears ring, hiss, crackle, or pop for the rest of her life. The CT scan could have exacerbated the condition. I'm glad that she survived the ordeal and was able to write a book about her experience. The book will, no doubt, help many people to understand this perplexing medical condition.

Susanah, if you are reading this I wish you all of the best apples that life has to offer.
