Re: Sea Sickness Study - need participants
Thanks for your questions, and thank you to the people who have already e-mailed me with interest.
Can I ask, what purpose this study is for?
The purpose of this is primarily to obtain case studies and testimonials of people who are able to successfully avoid vomiting using my method. In doing so, I hope to publish my findings in a medical journal so that the knowledge is made available on a much larger scale.
Are you looking to find a more specific targeted therapy for the vomiting aspect, as opposed to just nausea prevention?
If I wasn't clear in my original post, I am specifically looking for participants who are vomiters. That's the key.
"Additionally, this doesn't seem to really fall under the field of a dentist, are you simply doing this due to your love of fishing?"
A little of both. I am doing this and I have stumbled upon this due to my love of fishing (and my hatred of a lifetime of sea sickness). Because I am a dentist I am curious about the physiological process that goes on in the body. More specifically I am targeting a neurotransmitter that is secreted from a salivary gland in the mouth that I suspect to play a major role and being a dentist, this gives me a somewhat unique point of view.
Many replies to this post have mentioned a variety of drugs from Dramamine to marijuana. I would just like to add that my method involves absolutely no pharmacology whatsoever and therefor no side effects.
Please continue to send me emails if you are interested in contributing to this study. Thanks.
