Menieres Treatments (for informational purposes only)
Listed below are some treatments that others with menieres have used and may have helped.  Make sure you visit John's Treatment page.  His plan has helped many eliminate their Meniere's symptoms.  My number one advice is to buy a notepad and start a journal.  Write down everything you eat, drink, and medications/supplements.  You may find a pattern to your dizziness.  You may start slowly.  Start with the lemon bioflavoids (would recommend to start with those first) and a good natural mulit-vitamin.  Then keep adding until you find what works for you.

Everyone is different.  One treatment may work for you, but not for another.  You may take 5mgs of Vinpocetine twice a day, someone else may take it three times a day.  With some of this information and the help of a knowledgeable doctor, you should be able to find out what works best for you.

Virus Connection

Food Allergies

Excellent link showing allergies and their relation to Meniere's.  Many people diagnosed with Meniere's have been diagnosed with allergies to wheat, gluten, soy,  and/or milk.  Several people have simply reduced or eliminated these products from their diet and their vertigo and dizziness disappeared.  For more information, research Celiac Disease. Experiment.

Carbohydrates/Sugar/Insulin Factors

Is there a connection between carbohydrates, sugar, and insulin levels?  Here is a great article with information regarding these factors.  Article discusses links with inflammation, fibromyalgia, recovery from viral infections, and more...  Can these factors effect Mm symptoms?

What has Worked for Me
After experimenting with several different supplements and prescriptions, I have eliminated my vertigo and dizzy spells.  I still have intermittent pressure in my right ear and tinnitus.  I used a modified "John of Ohio's Treatment."  I have not used Serc, MSM, or Veritgoheel as of yet.  I use the lemon bioflavonoids, L-Lysine, and a multi-vitamin with high B vitamins.  I recently started taking Grape Seed Extract.  I feel the Grape Seed Extract greatly reduced my ear pressure.  I also: take Singular anti-histamine, a diurectic,  exercise lightly, and try to eat a well balanced lower sodium diet.  I use all natural vitamins, no gluten, additives, etc... My main complaint right now is the tinnitus that I can not get rid of and Migraines.  I continue to experiment.  Dizziness and vertigo are pretty much completely gone.

Vinpocetine and Lemon Bioflavoniods

Vinpocetine has been reported to improve cerebral blood flow, increase the glucose level used in the brain,  reduce platelet aggregation, and improve red blood cell deformability.  Vinpocetine is often used for the treatment of cerebral circulatory disorders such as memory problems, acute stroke, aphasia (loss of the power of expression), apraxia (inability to coordinate movements), motor disorders, dizziness and other cerebro-vestibular (inner-ear) problems, and headache.  It is available over-the- counter at most pharmacies.  Some also add Ginkgo-Biloba
Lemon Bioflavonoids The bioflavonoids are helpful in the absorption of vitamin C and protect the multifunctional vitamin C molecule from oxidation, thereby improving and prolonging its functioning. Therefore, the bioflavonoids are indirectly, and possibly directly, involved in maintaining the health of the collagen that holds the cells together by strengthening the membranes of cells, tissues, and cartilage.  There are several types of bioflavonoids, but only one in particular has been noted to help people with meniere's, Bioflavonoids with lemon exocarp (the rind of the lemon).
