Please help with tinnitus. I removed three mercury fillings in January and February 2021 then received the covid vac in March. In September 2021 I started noticing tinnitus in my right ear. I still have it today but I believe heavy metals and possibly the Epstein-Barr virus has come out of dormancy and is plaguing me with this horrible condition. Do you have any thoughts or ideas how to get rid of some thing that no doctors say there isn’t a cure? I’m actively removing heavy metals and eating very well it has not helped much. It keeps it low but not gone. It is very disturbing to my sleep and mental ability. Trying to keep your mind off of it and no stressing helps but I want it gone. I cannot understand how a symptom can be in this world that no doctors, have a cure for. Is it a brain condition?? I had an MRI it was totally clear my auditory nerve is just fine I’ve seen the ENT I’ve had hearing tests nothing is wrong, so why did I get this? Is it the metals mercury going to my brain? Is it virus, a low viral activity that is very difficult to remove? I don’t know I do know it has to leave my body so I can enjoy myself again find joy in this world again, and have fun in my every day living. Right now I’m just getting by..I’m alive thanking God every day and being grateful but I’m truly not living and experiencing all life has to offer. I have a wonderful family. I love them dearly and want to have fun with them every single day, but I cannot live with this symptom anymore. I have to find something to get rid of this. Cleansing my liver, avoiding inflammatory foods, distressing, removing metals, gently, not in a harsh way, is all I am doing I don’t know what else to do. Thank you. :(

My daughter was just diagnosed with Type I diabetes - she was completely healthy as a child and has never had a single medical issue and at 17 suddenly gets diabetes… neither my wife nor my family have ever had a case of it in our history. What other environment factors can trigger this and could a Covid vaccine be that trigger?

Just had a cardio stress test (tread mill with EKG) and lipids blood test. Historically my lipids have been

HDL = 60 and LDL = 140-180 or totals of 200- 250. I took crestor for several years and the best lipid were 180 -200 with HDL remaining unchanged. The most current test was

HDL=75 LDL = 70 and always had low triglycerides (not on statin). I stopped taking crestor about 2 years ago and went heavy into minerals supplements and vitamins to protect my body from or against severe flu like disease. EKG was good as well. Had a stress test last year was surprised he ordered a new one, must be because of all the heart inflammation going around.

The only other health issue was my sudden hearing loss (lost 1/2 my hearing) in one ear two weeks after severe vertigo with severe nausea in October 21 that landed me in emergency room. The ear doctor calls this Meniere’s disease. After hearing stabilized (6-months) began taking 125 mg of acetazolamide 2x per day. I hate this stuff but it keeps my ear pressure (aural fullness) under control. I have not found any more natural substitute for the Diamox. If you know of anything that may help with the fullness please let me know.

I believe it was glutathione that you wrote enables the clearing of cholesterol waste that statins create?

And with regard to BP lipo versus water based meds.

Does taking fish oil for omega 3 promote the damage to the brain that you also discussed recently?

I hope my questions ring a bell.

I’ve been wanting to ask these two questions and since this link expires and it’s very late I don’t have time to do refresh your references to be more succinct.

Best to you with thanks for your work!

Jon

K2, D3, magnesium and calcium are all essential, you’re on the right track!

What would be helpful too would be a boost of proanthocyanidin flavonoids and, as you are thinking of, fish oil can be beneficial too.

Do check out the previous article I’ve written about the dynamic equilibrium in bone formation:

I am increasingly desperate to help a friend who is facing a few complications. Due to poor nutrition during the early years, we assume, he is an almost 50 Asian male who has been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I make lots of properly prepared whole foods at home every day, and there is little industrial food in our cupboards, and he doesn't smoke or drink a lot and does exercise as he can, but food alone can't win this battle.

I have encouraged him to supplement with K2, D3, Magnesium, and Calcium. Would Zinc be helpfuI? I will prepare natto for him as it is such a rich source of K2, and increase the amount of fermented foods we consume, but I wonder if krill or fish oil may be a valuable addition to his regimen? Any other suggestions by the way?
