I know a lot of us take vitamins so I figured it would be a good place to ask. Have you ever gotten a bad batch? A bottle that you didn't find as effective? This is probably just wishful thinking but I have been trying to figure out what is causing my latest bout of Cochlear Hydrops. I had almost instant relief from symptoms when I started taking Lemon Bios in September. I felt great for 7 months. I have been having a lot of fullness and ringing again for the past two weeks now and realized that this latest bout started just 4 days after starting my new bottle of lemon bios. Same brand, same dosage. I even started taking an extra to see if it would help, which it has not. Like I said, just wishful thinking but I thought I would ask.
Lemon bioflavonoids do not suppress herpes virus activity. Your symptoms may be caused by resumed viral activity, for which the lemon bioflavonoids cannot control. They only increase blood circulation through the inner ear, facilititating the draining excess fluids there (the hydrops symptom). Lysine and prescription antiherpetic drugs suppress herpes viruses. (Lemon bioflavonoids are not vitamins; are a supplement.) Lots of info in my PDF, here: http://www.zoominternet.net/~kcshop/JOH.pdf --John of Ohio
