Chocalate seems to help.

This may not seem logical but I have a strong feeling that eating
chocolate makes my symptoms improve. This seems a bit strange given
that the tinnitus is supposed to be from high blood pressure which
chocolate is obviously not going to help with. But maybe it's the
energy boost which helps or maybe it's the ingredients, but it does
seem to help. I'm not sure that it actually makes the tinnitus improve
but it doesn't get worse like you might think it would and it seems to
make my eyes less sensitive to the brightness of the computer/TV
monitor.

Chocolate is a good source of magnesium, I believe, which could
be helpful, or it could be something else about it.

It's good to figure out which foods help and which foods make
you worse -- you can save money on buying supplements and just
eat the appropriate foods!

Chocolate affects hormone levels - and a lot of ES and other synptoms are caused by hormone inbalances which in turn are caused by exposure to either chemicals or radiation. Hormones can also be put out of balance by stress,age, menopause, just about anything really - and the symptoms vary from individual to individual as far as I can make out.

And if I'm remembering things correctly, I think we had someone here who's
ES improved by using progesterone cream... (which certainly affects ones
hormones)

Yeah the only trouble is, everyone seems to say something different
about which foods help, so finding out which ones actually do could
take forever!!! I guess we need someone to do a big experiment where
different groups of people with ES are put on different diets.

Kinesiology (muscle testing) can be used to find out immediately
exactly what foods and supplements are good for you and bad for you.
My wife is an expert at this. However, doing kinesiology is not easy
(it takes quite a lot of training to do it properly), and there are
many forms of kinesiology, from the simple strength test to far more
refined and accurate methods like the one my wife uses. The advanced
forms are the only forms of kinesiology that I would recommend because
they are much more accurate than the simple strength test.
Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find someone who practices an
advanced form of kinesiology, but if you are patient and determined,
you can learn how to do it yourself. I never had the patience to learn
it, relying instead upon my wife's expertise.

Hope this helps,
Gilligan

Well, probably not "forever"... I've been dealing with my ES for
6 years, and I think I had most of my good food choices figured
out within the first year. However, I still will occasionally try
something new at the store these days.

As for "muscle testing", I have certainly seen a lot of people
who do this, and I also do it on myself. However, the results
have certainly been mixed, and for controlling ES symptoms
throughout the day, I've found that nothing replaces good old
trial & error!

Don't forget that Chocolate is made in different places, in different
ways and with different ingredients. Unless you are eating raw organic
Cacao nuts
http://www.essentiallivingfoods.com/products-culinary-nuts-cacao-
beans.html
(which are bitter but very good for you), you are probably getting some
lead and other toxins that can cause side effects.

To get a pure reading about Chocolate may be difficult unless you buy
it from a very pure source.

Are there other foods which I could try to eat more of that affect
hormone levels?

I believe that some of the hormone creams contain a large amount
of yams, so that might be something worth looking into...

who says cacao is good for you, amazing how cacao has existed for
thousand's of years and now since raw food is the new craze some say
that cacao is good for you. I have read much on this and other's will
say that it is like taking speed, afterall chocolate is a drug.

Yes, I've been eating raw organic cacao nuts for years... I can't
say that I've noticed them making any big impact on my ES, but
they are good and supposed to be healthy. Also, they aren't
as addictive or fattening as regular chocolate... nor as tasty...

It is one thing to read about something... entirely different
to have firsthand experience.

I cannot say that I've noticed any stimulating effects or
drug-like effects from cacao at all. I think it's merely
a good source of magnesium, which many people are deficient.

I wonder if you are referring to "caffeine" rather than "cacao"?

I do notice stimulating effects from caffeine, and have wondered
about those who claim that herbs like "Yerba Mate" are healthy,
as to me it seems like Yerba Mate acts like a drug in the same
way that coffee does.

(no ES benefit from Yerba Mate that I can tell)

Not really. People have been trying different foods for several hundred thousands of years,
and the results are in.
Paleolithic diet works.

The difficult part is getting the right stuff in modern stores, and re-programming your mind.
