Causes and what do do
Hi!
2 nights recently i've heard a high pitched whine in my ear/s when i hopped into bed. I don't notice it at any other time of day, i think because there is always some sort of noise going on. It could be from my mp3 player earplugs that i've been wearing for the last few weeks (before that I didn't listen to music with earplugs) or it could be some of this stuff below that i found on

I'm currently doing a Humaworm cleanse so i don't know if that could play a part. I found it interesting that hearing it on the left or right sides meant different things. Need to look at my water supply, as i don't use toothpaste - or i could just be low in calcium, magnesium & potassium.
Anyway, i hope it helps &/ people find this interesting.

Tinnitus
What most people tend to overlook in terms of tinnitus is bowel and liver health and nutritional deficiencies. Tinnitus is one of the side-effects of being too acidic.
The nose is a path of elimination for the liver. That's why black pepper and occasionally direct sunlight makes us sneeze - it causes the liver to heat up and spontaneously cleanse, which it does by releasing mucus. Clogged sinuses will back up into the ears. When the liver is clogged or when you have candida, it's much easier to get excess ear wax and this will eventually cause ear/nose infections and tinnitus. So cleansing the liver should help.
If you don't have much mucus or excess ear wax, simply address the nutritional deficiencies and consider drinking ACV several times a day - see recipe for the Cleansing Drink.
Which SIDE the sounds are heard will tell you which minerals you're deficient (or overdosed - if supplementing or eating lots of foods rich n the nutrient in question) in.
Sounds on the right side mean you have too much chloride, a pH electrolyte, sounds on the left side mean too much flouride - change toothpastes and avoid tap water. These two get too high when you're too low in calcium, magnesium, potassium, which a pH strip may not reveal because we're talking about the pH balance inside the cells.
Very high or very low sodium and phosphorous will cause it too, as will a sensitivity to aspirin, aleve, ibuprofen. If the tinnitus is accompanied by general sporadic itching, your phosphorous is way too high. You may be dehydrated and should force fluids in addition to calcium.
Consider taking Cal-Mag Fizz (see the Sources forum, the amazon post has links), avoid really salty foods and NSAIDs, be sure to get PLENTY of fluids (particulary my Cleansing Drink - see FAQ for recipe) and consider doing some comprehensive liver and bowel cleansing.
If the ear is clogged, you can use hydrogen peroxide or white/refined vinegar or refined ACV (in this case you don't want "the mother") as ear drops.
