Re: Hearing loss - ear pain

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure you could have chosen a healthier healing herb

than garlic from all I've read about it. . . antioxidant, (Vitamins

C, A and Selenium) sulfur compounds which chelate metals, detoxifier of peroxides. . .

Why not try aged garlic (it's called Kyolic in the healthfood

store) as it is more concentrated--provides more antioxidant

ability, prevents liver damage, reduces cholesterol, prevents

blood clots, lowers BP. (And no garlic breath)

I've heard of some hearing problems, but the sources of them

were varied. I had some, but comparatively, they were minor and

gradually faded away. At that time, 1992, also had enlarged, slow -flowing

carotids and jugulars on that side and I think the pressure of them

or something other than infection was causing my intermittent loss.

I think so because it usually happened posturally. I know of one

woman whose first sign that something was amiss was hearing loss--

I guess whatever part is the weakest is going to get hit first.

Also, some have inflammation of the Eustachian tube and can

have hearing loss. Inflammation anywhere around that area

can last an interminably long time--many years.

I was told by a rheumatologist, however, that all of us need to be

taking a lot of antioxidants, as oxidative stress (didn't know what that

was at the time) is the common problem-- and many other problems

would resolve when that is taken care of. You could add some Vitamin E and especially Alpha Lipoic Acid to your regime for

more antioxidant protection.

You may or may not have permanent damage--I have found the

body to be truly miraculous in it's healing ability--I've been told

that things that healed can't possibly do so. . .but they did--and

I'd had them for years! It was was thought that nerve cells can't

regenerate, but now they know they can. We forget how young

the conventional medical field really is.

I wish you the best with the garlic--you'll probably see more

changes than hearing!
