today we’re going to talk about tinnitus

okay ringing in the ears and how to get

rid of it this is an updated video and I

will say that tinnitus can literally

Drive someone crazy if you had some

history of auditory damage somewhere in

your brain later in life it can come to

haunt you now tinnitus is something a

little mysterious they don’t have it

fully figured out okay but they do know

that certain medications drugs can

improve tinnitus so I looked at two of

them and the mechanism to actually

understand this a little bit more now

one drug is called gabapentin and the

other is called Klonopin so what do

these two have in common well they both

are Gaba agonists what does that mean it

means that they have a mechanism to

increase

Gaba in the brain and so let’s take a

look at this Gaba like exactly what it

is it’s an inhibitory neurotransmitter

it slows down the central nervous system

and if you think about what ringing of

the ear is it’s a hypersensitivity of

the brain so this would make sense that

the brake pads are a problem and by

putting more brake pads or inhibitory

factors into the brain it would help

something that’s hypersensitive and

they’ve also done some interesting

studies I’m going to put the links down

below of people having tinnitus and

having a lowered amount of Gaba as well

as an up regulation of another

transmitter called glutamate that

stimulates the brain and so when you are

missing the brake pads in a car and you

only have an accelerator you’re going to

have problems and that’s what tinnitus

is and so tinnitus is kind of like an

overcompensation with a problem in the

auditory part of your brain and so this

overcompensation is basically making

this hissing sound so based on that you

probably are thinking well I just need

to increase Gaba and maybe you don’t

like the side effects from the

medications that do that so you might

then typically go to a Gaba supplement

which is natural which has virtually no

side effects but the problem with that

is that

Gaba as a supplement does not cross the

blood-brain barrier so it’s going to

have a hard time penetrating into the

brain to create the effect but we have a

solution for that there’s another

compound and it’s called taurine okay

that’s an amino acid that turns into

Gaba and it does

pass the blood-brain barrier but just

make sure you take it in an empty

stomach okay when you take it because

when you eat you could have some

competition from other amino acids and I

don’t have a specific brand you’re going

to have to do the research on that now

in addition to increasing Gaba the other

thing you need to do is inhibit the

glutamate neurotransmitter that is

potentially speeding things up now

you’re probably asking well what foods

are high in glutamate MSG monosodium

glutamate which has been known to

increase or stimulate or trigger

tinnitus also Aspartame is another one

that has been known to trigger tinnitus

now you might say that I don’t consume

MSG well it’s in a lot of foods and I

will put a link down below just so you

can get more reality it’s in pretty much

all junk Foods fast food restaurant type

foods Chinese restaurants they even put

it in cottage cheese unless you buy it

organic but if you’ve been following my

videos

and my recommendations on eating you’re

probably not going to be consuming MSG

now I need to mention the hidden foods

that are loaded with this glutamate that

you need to be aware of and eliminate

from the diet anything with these two

words hydrolyzed protein avoid that

another one is calcium caseinate another

one to avoid is yeast extract or

utilized yeast definitely avoid textured

protein whey protein soy protein

isolates and of course soy sauce so this

is the update information

I do have another video that’s been very

very successful for many people and if

you haven’t seen that I put it up right
