Episodio #309 Tinnitus, zumbido en los Oídos

Summary

In this video, Fran Suárez discusses tinnitus, a condition characterized by persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears. He explains the potential causes of tinnitus, particularly the role of an overactive nervous system and fungal infections like Candida, which thrive in humid, dark areas such as the ears. Suárez recommends reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates to combat the fungal infection and adopting a calming, vegetable-based diet to soothe an overactive nervous system. The video offers practical advice for managing tinnitus and provides insight into how lifestyle changes can alleviate this condition.

Takeaways

• 😀 Tinnitus is a condition where a person experiences a persistent ringing or buzzing sound in the ears, which can be very distressing.
• 😀 The condition is often linked to the nervous system, and there are two types: the passive (restful) and the excited (action-driven) nervous system.
• 😀 The passive nervous system helps the body rest, digest, and detoxify, while the excited nervous system is responsible for action, like fighting or running.
• 😀 Tinnitus can occur when there is excessive activation of the nervous system, causing overstimulation of the senses and triggering the buzzing sensation in the ears.
• 😀 The overgrowth of Candida (a fungus) in the body, especially in warm, dark, and moist areas like the ears, can contribute to tinnitus.
• 😀 Candida produces toxins that can affect the ears and stimulate the auditory senses, leading to the buzzing sound commonly associated with tinnitus.
• 😀 People with high sugar and carbohydrate intake (such as bread, sweets, and rice) may be feeding Candida, exacerbating tinnitus symptoms.
• 😀 Reducing the intake of sugar, carbohydrates, and processed foods can help starve the Candida and reduce its toxic effects on the body.
• 😀 To manage tinnitus, it's recommended to calm the nervous system by adopting a diet rich in vegetables, avoiding excessive calcium, and incorporating magnesium supplements.
• 😀 People with a stressed, overactive nervous system, especially those who cannot sleep well, digest properly, or handle stress, are more prone to tinnitus.
• 😀 Overall, managing tinnitus involves both addressing the Candida overgrowth and calming the nervous system through dietary and lifestyle changes.

Q & A

What is tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a condition where a person experiences a constant ringing or buzzing sound in the ears, which can be extremely frustrating and distressing.

What causes tinnitus?

Tinnitus can be caused by several factors, including an overgrowth of the Candida fungus in the ears, a hyperactive nervous system, or an imbalance in the body's neurological system.

How is the nervous system related to tinnitus?

Tinnitus is closely linked to the nervous system, particularly when the system is overly excited or stressed. A hyperactive nervous system can lead to heightened sensory responses, causing sensations like buzzing in the ears.

What role does the Candida fungus play in tinnitus?

Candida is a type of fungus that thrives in moist, warm environments, such as the ears. When overgrown, it produces toxins that can irritate the nerves of the ear, leading to the buzzing or ringing sensation characteristic of tinnitus.

Can reducing sugar intake help with tinnitus?

Yes, reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates, such as bread and sweets, can help manage tinnitus. These foods feed Candida, which can exacerbate the condition, so limiting them may reduce the severity of the symptoms.

What is the difference between a passive and an excited nervous system?

A passive nervous system is responsible for relaxation, digestion, and rest, whereas an excited nervous system is active during stressful situations and triggers fight-or-flight responses. The latter is more likely to contribute to conditions like tinnitus.

What dietary changes can help reduce tinnitus?

To help manage tinnitus, it’s recommended to follow a diet rich in vegetables, low in fats and sugars, and high in magnesium. Avoiding calcium-heavy foods, which can excite the nervous system, may also be beneficial.

How can calming the nervous system help with tinnitus?

Calming the nervous system can help reduce the overstimulation that contributes to tinnitus. This can be achieved by consuming magnesium-rich foods, reducing stress, and following a diet that minimizes stimulants like sugar and caffeine.

Is there a direct connection between diabetes, obesity, and tinnitus?

Yes, individuals with diabetes or obesity may be more prone to developing tinnitus. These conditions are linked to higher levels of Candida infections, which can worsen tinnitus symptoms due to the fungus’s effect on the ears.

Can tinnitus lead to depression?

Yes, tinnitus can lead to depression, as the constant buzzing or ringing in the ears can be emotionally and mentally exhausting. The persistent nature of the sound can create feelings of frustration and helplessness in affected individuals.
