Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
https://www.defenseone.com/technolog...litary/152960/
https://admin.govexec.com/media/otolith_pamphlet_.pdf The vibrations emanating from the OtoTech gently target two of the four fibers that carry data about body motion to the brain via a system of inner ear sensors called the vestibulocochlear nerve. “Two [of the four vestibulocochlear nerve fibers] go to the brain, two go to your reflexes,” Owen said. The trick is to affect the former and not the latter. “The working hypothesis is that [the vibration] causes a chaotic and noninformative stimulus to go to the brain. Somewhere, probably the cerebellum, there’s a filtering mechanism that filters out noninformative sensed information. It’s the reason you don’t notice the shirt on your back right now,” he said. In other words, while you remain consciously aware that you’re moving, the balance portion of your brain stops noticing the fact; the data has been drowned out in white noise from the device. So far, he says, initial testing shows that it works to prevent motion sickness without affecting balance, vision, alertness, or anything else it’s not supposed to.

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
You want me to put what where?
Or captain, is there is an outlet to charge my vibrator- I feel sick without it. Or.... damn it ..SOB. I screwed up again and forget to take the vibrator out before jumping in - I think I wrecked another one.

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
false horizon fools your senses, but at $115, pricey.
As I almost never get sea sick I'll pass, but this might help others... https://uk-media.citroen.com/en-gb/c...otion-sickness

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
Never have been seasick or airsick.
Got on a ferris wheel at broward county youth fair and almost hurled.Got off and a couple minutes later and everything was great.Never happened again. If I take people on my boat offshore I make sure they take something the night before and tell them to not drink heavy.I dont come back to the dock for seasick passengers. Wife invited herself to a fishing trip for White Marlin me and a buddy planned.We go unless its a hurricane.Seas at 4:30 am were around 6ft at the port Everglades inlet catching goggleyes for bait.By the end of the day seas got really snotty and she was wore out from chumming. My FIL would get all the way to the gulfstream from Marathon and head back because his daughters would get sick EVERY DAMN TIME.When you are buying gas,food,chum,house rental and bait its hard to feel sympathy for someone who KNOWS they will get sick but insist on going anyway.

If one of the guys tanks it, I agree with you. But across the board treatment only hurts us. Without a next generation, we are just crazy old guys who do dumb sh!t. But involve the next gen and everything survives. Look at the collector car community. My dad was big into it. But they always peed on people that did not fit their narrow mold (ie, muscle cars). Discouraged the rice rocket kids from 20 years ago. Now where is it? Haggarty does white paper after white paper talking how the market will die and crash. Be a steward of what you love or you will be alone eventually.

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
I have taken people in when they got sick.It just gets old when its the same people ruining everyone elses trip.After a while the sympathy wears off and I try to feed them crackers and tuna fish sandwiches to get the chum line for Yellowtail going
My wife says I would dive with the devil himself.As long as he kicks in for fuel,helps clean the boat, helps filet and can dive and spear in a safe manner I probably would.

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
We towed a boat Baja one time near Loreto. Buddy and I and his friend. So we get out to the tiny islands offshore fishing, and the friend gets very sick. We drop him off on one of the little islands and resume fishing. Guy starts screaming like a little girl so we dash back. There were a bunch of pelagic crabs 'attacking' him and he demanded to be returned to shore. We left him on the island all morning. Probably should have given him a fishing rod...

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
My first time getting sick, if you handed me a gun, I would have shot myself.
I fought the hell out of it thinking it was a mental thing. No matter how macho I thought I was, every sandwich and every beer came right back out.....I think I even thru up my toenails I hurled so hard. Hit the dock and all was well..........go figure. Now.....I take a Dramamine when I leave the house in the morning and another when I leave the dock.....Been doing it forever, AFTER, getting sick for the first time.

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
Years ago I took a guy scuba diving off Elliot key.I normally free dived there but he wanted to scuba.Seas were not bad (2-4 and a little chop)He started getting sick gearing up.Once he was under he was fine except his buoyancy issues(fat body)
When we got back up the anchor line he started hurling.So bad that he couldnt get in the boat and was telling me to leave himI got his gear off and inflated his BC so I could retrieve it later.Took everything I had to pull a 6'2 270 pound guy over the transom with no help.Seas were around 3-5 by now and picking up with the usual evening storm. Once the boat hit Old Rhoades creek he was weak but not hurling. He was an "advisor"for Miami Vice TV show.They put him on a yacht in Biscayne bay and he was not a happy camper till he hit land. I got his Biller 42 Wish he had been on the group buy of rebreathers some officers did.

Re: Vibrator for motion sickness, drug free
If you want something that ACTUALLY WORKS get this;
https://www.pharmacyonline.com.au/kwells-tab-x-12 Do a search on this site, allot of guys on here know about Kwells, problem is, it was bought out by Bayer, and was out of production for some time. |
