Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease, it is an indication that all is not well with your health. It is just like the tip of an iceberg, you just never know what lies beneath, and a full investigation must be done to establish causation.

Grabbing the first OTC remedy which promises relief is not the way to treat tinnitus. The OTC remedy may give some relief, but that is just palliating the symptom, without treating the cause.You can rest assured that the symptom will return when the remedy wears off.

Accepting the gloomy prognosis of your doctor, who tells you that tinnitus is something that you have to learn to live with, may cause you to look no further for a cure. If you accept the prognosis that your tinnitus is incurable, then it no doubt will be incurable. You will be joining the flat earth people, you will look no further and only believe what you have been told.

Holistic treatment has an entirely different approach, these practitioners are not looking for names of diseases, but they are looking for the cause, the trigger which is the root cause of the dis-ease in the person with tinnitus. Chronic ear infections may be the cause of many cases of tinnitus. Even though the infections may have been treated, the cause of the ear infections may not have been found.

So often if the dietary indiscretions are not corrected, the ear infections will continue, in a susceptible person. Many people have had prolonged treatments with broad spectrum antibiotics for recurring ear infections, which could have been cured if the person eliminated dairy foods.

Changing the diet for a person with tinnitus, may seem all too simple, however, so often it has been found to not only stop the tinnitus, but has brought about a complete change in their overall health. The average diet today can be considered to be a causative factor in many diseases. As they say, garbage in, and garbage out. Cars are far better cared for than the people who drive them.

So many people are pounding the pavements in an effort to stay healthy, but when it comes to their diet they seem to think that if they take their vitamins, then diet is not a worry. We can never get away from the fact that, what we eat today \”walks and talks tomorrow\”. Our environment often plays a major role in our diseases, however, we would be far more resistant to the pollution, if our diets were improved.

An all out effort needs to be made to do the very best for our health, to eat only fresh local produce, preferably organically grown. Processed food needs to be totally eliminated from our diets, including sodas, trans fats, and fast foods. We need to return to nature to regain our health, to spend as much time as we can in the outdoors.

From now on we need to make an all out effort to take charge of our own health, to understand that what we have caused, we can fix. Always investigate our own health problems, never blindly hand over responsibility for our health to others, and accept their prognosis without understanding exactly why we have reached this dis-ease state.

If you have spent years without adequate sleep, lived under constant stress, and had an inferior diet, then you are the only one who can change your situation. Regular adequate sleep is just as important as a healthy diet. So many people today suffer from sleep deprivation , long working hours, worse still shift work, with disrupted sleeping hours can be a major cause of disease.

Hypnosis, regular exercise, relaxation therapies will greatly assist the return to health. Unless we can resolve our health problems by simple means with the practices suggested, then we will eventually compromise our health, and become reliant on the medical system, and all that it entails. The synptom of tinnitus is a warning sign, and needs to be heeded. Its treatment needs to be holistic, not palliative, for treating a symptom while ignoring the underlying disease, can only result in further more serious health problems.
