Tinnitus - Insulin resistance?

[Filosofy]

This guy is saying tinnitus is caused by nerve damages stemming from high sugar. He does sneak in that high sugar depletes nutrients which is in line with Peatism. Says benfotiamine can fix it.

Thoughts on this?

Any approach to this lifelong torture is welcome ofcourse.

Altough thoose thiamin deveriates apparantly require gluthathone/cystein to reduce them to thiamin? That could be a issue in people with low gluthathione.
However i disagree with sugar being the issue. Dr berg is anti-sugar trough and trough. It might interfere with fixing thiamin status, but its not the villain its made out to be.

In TCM, the ears are the sensory organs associated with the kidneys, and chronic tinnitus is caused by kidney weakness. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is also associated with an increased risk of tinnitus.

Increased Fat Oxidation Is The Cause Of Kidney Damage

At least in diabetes, according to the study below. Peat mentioned in several of his articles and interviews that the kidney damage so commonly seen in both type I and II diabetes patients is due to increased PUFA oxidation and decreased glucose oxidation. He also said that the same mechanism...

Yes, indeed, TCM does associate tinnitus to the Kidneys; also to the liver. The humming sound tends to be the kidneys and the ringing tends to be liver, but this is of course ballpark.

I was more interested to see what Peatarians would respond to Dr. Bergh who is, like you say, adamantly against sugar.

From what I gather, Peat says that diabetes is a potassium, adrenaline and cortisol problem, as well as PUFA.

What nutrients does sugar deplete the fastest?

Can you link me some of Peat’s research on diabetes being a K, Adrenalin and cortisol issue? Thanks!!

for me - i get it when I have low Vitamin D and dont get enough calcium . one thing that cures it for me is red bull ( taurine) . i like Dr. Berg sometimes but he is a Scientologist so there's that lol

Well I have it for more than 10 years I believe tinnitus is the issue of hemodynamics. So that would involve the kidneys, heart, blood pressure, blood flow, blood vessels and their permeability, constriction and dilation as well as calcification and hardening of the blood vessels.

Renal insufficiency and "weakened" kidneys and adrenals seems very logical to me considering my kind of problems. Probably some ischemic situation going on as well.

Dr. Berg calls everything insulin resistance but he doesn't seems to understand that it's mostly because of eating high fat and having high circulating free fatty acids which prevent the glucose from coming into the cell that is the problem. If you eliminate the sugar you eliminate the "cause" but also the "solution" and possibility of ever improving.

Georgi post on fatty acid oxidation and kidneys is pretty good.

Btw things like VIT D, K2 never seems to help.

Gelatin usually makes things even worse sometimes so It's probably not because of the glycine deficiency which I often hear.

You described my idea of why i'm having tinnitus realy well. Altough i think physical injury / postural issues and the resulting tensigrity alongside its relationship with the nervous system is also a important factor for wether bloodflow is traveling freely or not.

To me ever since i had tinnitus i feel as if blood is not supplied properly to the head. All the other health issues came afterwards.
Proper bloodflow, oxygenation and energy production seem to be paramount.

There seems to be this delicate dance of a compromised organ, infection and the inability to supply the tissue with nutrients/energy and the causation from environmental to dietary or w/e seem to elude us to a solution that probably is quite simple.

Dr Berg isn't a doctor or even a nutritionist for that matter, he's a chiropractor...

Work in audio for a living have done for over a decade and had tinnitus for about half of that time brought on by issues with sinuses and **** knows what else(strongly suspect antidepressants and antipsychotics though)you can get tinnitus for all sorts of reasons, but this seems like he plucked it out of his arse, a long with his imaginary doctorate in medicine and every other single video of his

He probably has a lack of tolerance/hate for a lot of things, as apparently, he's a Scientologist....

Me too. It definatelly could be postural but few years ago when I had really loud tinnitus after exposure to loud noise I did MRI and they saw I had brain lesions too. Probably due to the bad blood flow to the brain.

Proper bloodflow, oxygenation and energy production seem to be paramount.

I also think pathogens - viruses, bacteria or fungus somehow activate the immune system on a regular basis and I think that immune system likes to "wall" the pathogens to the blood vessels in a "calcium prison" in order to protect the organism and constant activations of immunity and ROS with mast cell activation is damaging the system even further weakening the blood vessels and the organs.

Haha, I get it. Chiropractor, Scientologist. Still, hate the sin, no? And tiamine seems in some ways a good breadcrumb trail with regards to tinnitus.

It rings reasonable that it should be kidneys, blood pressure, arterial hardening. West is in line with east / Chinese medicine here.

I have tinnitus of maybe 2/10. I have managed to eradicate it periodically with deep (I mean truly deep, think yogic savasana done correctly) relaxation, and with nutrition. It generally also seems in line with head tension / migraine tendencies, which are exacerbated by staring at screens and not utilizing the body below the head properly.

Tinnitus results from electrolyte disturbance in endolymph. Auricular function is extremely sensitive to variations in the constitution of that fluid.

The auditory specialist told me that if I ever wake up and don't have tinnitus, it means I'm dead. That was around Jan of 2009. Never has my ringing ever gone completely away. It has fluctuated a bit, but that is all. Tylenol makes it very bad.

A while back I took some aspirin, as I usually stay away from it, and for a brief couple of hours the tinnitus was almost nonexistent.

If there ever is a true cure, there will be line of folks that stretches for ten miles. IIRC 50 million in the US with tinnitus. I believe that emfs play a big role in it.
