Hi,

I think it is time high time that some of us try to rescue this
newsgroup from a bunch of cranks and the purveyors of snake oil.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article4621963.ece

"The exciting news for those of us with hearing loss and tinnitus is
that we now have hope of having our hearing restored some day.”

Best regards


John

Anything that does not work for a particular individual is snake oil
to him.

Yes, it is about cell research for hearing loss. I can show you
similar articles from snake oil research institutes where I am
claiming they are able to help grow back broken nerves or small hair
inside the inner ear.
If it works for you, then I don't care whether or not it goes by snake
oil or lion oil. On the other hand, one can have all sorts of high
tech gadgets that don't work a dent thing...it then is snake oil to me.

Maybe fyfpoon can recommend GB for that pain in your neck. Or
acupuncture or I am certain some other off the wall far eastern
medicine.
