ear, nose and throat


the only problem the writer has had with his ears is tinnitus


if the only cause of tinnitus is excessive wax in the ears then the universal cure is to remove the wax


there are at least three methods


1


extraction by water pulse


2


extraction by suction


3



cotton wool, olive oil and eye dropper


the writer has tried all three and they all work


using cotton wool, olive oil and an eye dropper...



put a minimum of five drops into your ear


fashion the cotton wool into a ball so that it fits snugly into your ear


the ball of cotton should be too big to go into the eardrum


it should feel firmly lodged


here comes a bit of magic...



there is a part of the ear called the tragus


after reading different entries four different purposes came to light


one said it was there to capture extra sounds


the other said, "it might just be an Embryological remnant  that has no demonstrable function at all"


you are asked to consider that you-know-who has, after exhausting every conceivable degradation to life, arrived at the point where the only changes he can produce are life-enhancing features to the man-shaped-beings anatomy


the tragus may be an add-on with the sole purpose of dealing with an excess of ear wax


*


when the olive oil is in your ear place your middle finger, the most sensitive of the fingertips, on the tragus and roll your fingertip in a counterclockwise massaging motion


you are doing wrong if there is any discomfort


sometimes a lot is soaked up by the cotton


other times there's barely a smudge


trial and error is the order of the day

sinuses


in 2021 the writer used six grams of weed to make tea


had heard that weed, when boiled for a specific length of time, can be made into a drink that can clear blocked sinuses


the writer had blocked sinuses for years


the drink did the trick


not only did it clear the sinuses but from that time on the sinuses felt "refreshed" to a smaller or greater degree after a meal 


it was realised recently that some foods produce an extremely clear nasal passage while others don't have the same effect


an oily fish sandwich with lettuce and beetroot produces the clearest nasal sensation while beans on toast don't have the same effect


surely the sensation any food produces is a better yardstick for determining the value of the food than reading what is best


as this is being written the writer is breathing easily through the nose


he is going to make and eat an oily fish sandwich and report back...


twenty-five minutes later


it is confirmed


the sandwich produced moistness in the nasal passage and after a quick blow of the nose the sensation of the ease of breathing through the nose was noticeable


the throat


the number one Reason people go to see a doctor is to do with problems of the throat


with food and drink it is a simple matter of the feel of something going through the throat


there should be no noticeable sensation


take a swig of water at room temperature


there is no distinct sensation


take a teaspoonful of whiskey at room temperature and you'll get the point
