yeah, it's some kind of nerve thing, and i know that damaged nerves in the ear keep sending out a signal forever, which is basically what makes the sound, but whether it's loud or squelched out is a separate thing that has to do with the auricular processing parts of the brain, similar to the ones in the back that correct the flaws in our vision, like the blind spots in each eye and so forth
nerves conduct signals by two mechanisms, along the dendrites and through the nucleus is salts, which transfer electrons across selectively, and the main salts are calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, and each different ion, and the counterions, chloride, sulphate, and others, participate in specific types of signals
when something disrupts the balance of electrolytes, it attenuates some types of signalling and i believe that possibly potassium has a part in tinnitis
when i say "reduces" i don't mean eliminates it, just that how i experience it now, versus how it was 5 years ago before the various issues with my kidneys seem to have started, was dramatically different, i now hear it clearly even over top of quite loud external sound, and i should add, that i'm also more reactive to sound, my exaggerated startle response is worse now also, and at the same time i also am having problems with my feet and hands especially, peripheral neuropathy, which is a sign of failing kidneys, and the kidneys are the main regulator of electrolytes
this is one of the problems with carnivore btw, meat is relatively low in magnesium and potassium... milk has a lot more potassium and it has calcium, but the best sources of potassium are fruits and some vegetables, and magnesium also, as you might predict, in green leafy vegetables
carnivore is a good fasting method i think, but not overall... you want to add sources of magnesium, potassium and calcium, and that means a bit of leafy veg, some fruit, some dairy... unless you have lactose intolerance, which is relatively rare, actually, and gluten intolerance has gone up because the industrial food chemical biotech industry has hyper-bred and then now also genetically modified wheat for breadmaking and the type of gluten in it is bad, and similarly, the protein in friesian cow milk is harder to digest than the ones in jersey, and in sheep and goat milk
at the root of much of the problems with this aspect of people's health is the perversion of food production by these government lobbying chemical and biotech companies, who are run and owned by people who KNOW that their stuff makes people sick, and they think that's great because we are "useless eaters" to them
