What
Finally Worked so
David Could Get Relief from his Meniere's Disease
Symptoms
We put this page together to give
people a more detailed explanation of what David, and
numerous others, have used to get relief from their
Meniere's disease symptoms and why we think it helped
him to get back on his feet so quickly. Some people just
want the system information. Please feel
free to skip the explanation about David and others, and
scroll to the bottom of this page and use the
System Information request form.
We have been helping people with their Meniere's
symptoms since 2000 and we have gathered a lot of
relevant information. Because of FDA and Health Canada
regulations, we are not able to share this online. But
we will happily share it via an email request. We get
numerous emails every day and everyone is answered
personally, but it might take a day or two.
You truly have to appreciate the
seriousness of the suffering we were ALL experiencing in
order to see how a set of nutritional supplements could
make such a huge difference! David was finally
able to get the relief from his Meniere's disease
symptoms that he had been desperately searching for over
several years.
Before this David had hidden away in
his home office, sprawled in his chair, eyes closed and
very depressed. He would crawl up the stairs to go to
bed. Often he refused to eat. He spent many hours in bed
with a bucket on the floor beside him. That was his
existence for months!
When we received the email about these
supplements, he was past skepticism or debate. We had
these in the house and amazingly, he was willing to try
something so unusual! But as we have received thousands
of emails since then, we know his is simply an example
of many other lives.
This may not seem terribly scientific,
but many many people have achieved similar results since
we first shared this information online in 2000.
What Finally Worked so David Could Get
Relief from his Meniere's Disease Symptoms?
We received a most welcome email from
a doctor’s wife who suggested we try a certain set of
nutritional supplements. Her husband had tried them for
his Meniere's disease symptoms and felt much better.
As we all know, a doctor’s opinion caries a lot of
weight. As this lady’s husband was a doctor, David
listened. (Elsewhere on this site we mention two
doctors. People want to know the names of these doctors,
but we are not at liberty to post them.) This gentleman
actually was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease: the
“system" allowed him to continue his practice. The other
doctor uses the “system" in his regular practice.
This “system” includes one of the most
powerful anti-inflammatory/ antioxidant products
available. They are used in conjunction with several
other products, each having its own purpose. The idea
behind the nutritional supplements is to support your
immune system so it can function at its optimal ability.
A healthy immune system then can look after your body's
needs. That is its primary purpose.
Again, we apologize in not being able
to mention the names precisely, but these are protected
by copyright. But we named it “David's Meniere's Disease
“System”, the “system” for short.
It contains:
• A specially formulated Vitamin & Mineral Product
• A very powerful, specially formulated antioxidant
• A specially formulated Gingko
• A specially formulated Calcium
This “system” offers the best all-round support and
products. Just my opinion, and of course, David's. at
that time, you couldn't get him to give these up for
anything!!
David’s Progress
Being an onlooker in David's Meniere's
disease process before we discovered the “system” was
like watching a slow death: VERY, very sad and hopeless.
I can't imagine BEING the person to whom this was
happening.
David started to get glimpses of
relief from his Meniere's disease symptoms in about
three weeks and he continued to improve. Others have
been helped in different time frames. Most people see
some sort of results within three or four weeks. The
relief and results seem to depend on the severity of the
disease and other possible related conditions, such as
your present health.
Everyone is so different. Sometimes
people need to get rid of toxins in their bodies, first.
EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!
Most of the time the
vertigo is the
first Meniere's disease symptom to improve. It seems to
be the most debilitating thing for many people. Once
people can work and function, they can at least regain
some of their "lost" lives.
Please know that although I'm a nurse,
I can only tell you how I see things from my own
understanding. I am not a doctor. That's why we always
say "what works for ”. I can't prescribe nor do I ever
promise. But we can certainly share other people’s
experiences. Our bodies are all different and react
differently to everything we put into them.
It also took months to get an
appointment for hearing tests. Once the results came, an
MRI was done. As we look back now, we realize that this
has taken years. Years of trying to get some answers and
hope: years with progressively increasing
hearing loss
and worsening balance symptoms.
Before getting on these supplements,
David spent most of his time in bed. His hearing was
already a bit low. Now he also had a huge “cover” of
static which he described “as a badly tuned radio, full
of static”. You already know about his balance, or lack
of balance. So he was severely depressed. He had lost
all hope of ever getting better. Luckily he still had an
interest in using the Internet. On good days, he would
search for answers for his symptoms. We were open to anything that could
give us some hint of hope.
Most of these Meniere’s Disease
symptoms are now gone. There is continued hearing loss,
but even that is better, clearer. The “horrible static
filled” ear, the intense vertigo, and the bothersome
dizziness are gone. “David” is "back". He is now able to
do everything he could do before his problems started.
He is driving!
He
was able to function (and drive) perfectly after
roughly six months. (We didn’t think to track it
specifically.) It has been a long, challenging time,
but a very worthwhile journey. We truly have a much
better appreciation of our health and hearing!
My thoughts as to why this works, what
the supplements are meant to do routinely.
To my way of thinking, our bodies are meant to be "in
balance" and “healthy”. That means every part (cell,
tissue, organ, system) is doing its assigned job. One
part is meant to do one thing and another is meant to do
something else. But as a whole, they are meant to work
in unison. And in order to help each other, balance is
the order. In medical terminology, this is known as
homeostasis. Together “everything” creates one very
harmonious and healthy body.
Here is a quick, basic biology lesson.
We have thousands of different TYPES of cells in our
nine body systems and therefore millions of cells. So
every one of these cells requires food to live. This
“system” is based on the need for the individual cell to
be “fed” appropriately. In some cases, the body first
needs to be helped to clean out unwanted elements and
then get fed to maintain its healthy standard.
This is the time element part no one
can estimate. Only those ingredients that are needed and
can be used by the body, are supplied by these products.
This, in a VERY, VERY simplistic way, is how cell
culture technology functions.
It is MY belief that if we already
took in enough vitamin and mineral "coverage", our
immune system would be able to handle this "Meniere's
disease glitch", these balance and hearing symptoms. But
it doesn't seem to be able to. What could be missing? So
by providing all the required ingredients, the body can
choose what it needs.
Earlier I mentioned how the body
desires to create “homeostasis” (balance)? In order for
it to do that, it borrows constantly from one part to
another. Could it run out of things to borrow? Why not,
if you don't supply it with what it needs.
By providing all the ingredients your
body could need, you now giving it a variety of
nutrients it can use immediately. that is the purpose of
these supplements. You are now actively taking back
control over our own health. As David put himself on the
the “system”, he was now getting back to a healthy
state. This worked beautifully for him. It has helped
him eliminate the vertigo, dizziness and ringing in his
ear (tinnitus).
What didn’t work for David
One of David's big challenges was
getting a correct Meniere's disease diagnosis.
I, of course, knew little about Meniere's Disease
outside of a textbook. No one in our circle of
acquaintances even hinted at having the disease. (Of
course we now realize that few people want to share this
“news” with others outside of their immediate families.)
So we paid little attention to his problems. It was
brought to our attention in a shocking way! He crawled
along the floor to get to bed! A grown man! There would
be many more of those episodes. Or he would walk holding
on to the wall or hold onto chairs, or people. Anything
that could keep him upright!
Everything seemed to take such a long
time and so many tests in order to come up with a
diagnosis. Eventually we learned that he had all the
classic symptoms of Meniere's
Disease. However it was a
relief to put a name to something that changed our lives
so dramatically. David had to retire from our store. It
was closed down. He just couldn't look after customers
when his vertigo was so severe and unpredictable. There
was fluorescent lighting which seemed to make it worse.
Even driving was questionable.
Throughout all this he tried all the
usual remedies.
• Low salt diet for Meniere's disease (We did eliminate
salt from the cooking. It made a pretty bland spaghetti
sauce which we "doctored" up)
• Water pills (didn’t have any effect.)
• SERC (an antihistamine that worked occasionally)
• And many different decongestants and anti-inflammatories.
(All stopped working eventually.)
He refused to have any kind of
surgery, choosing instead to put up with the Meniere's
disease symptoms. David had spent a very long time going
back and forth to doctors and hospitals, trying to find
out what was wrong with him. When he did finally get the
answer that it was Meniere's Disease, he was then told
that there were no answers as to how to recover from
this affliction. So eventually he even stopped doing any
of the traditional recommendations.
Conclusion
As a family, we spent a lot more time
trying to help David find answers about Meniere's
Disease as well as helping him throughout the days and
weeks ahead. Some of those days were very bad for David
and us as a family, others were quite good. The only
problem was that the good days wee flowed by bad days.
They always lurked around the corner. So nobody could
really enjoy the good ones. Since stress is also a big
contributor to Meniere's attacks, there was no escape.
You can read more about
David's story here.
Then we discovered a doctor that had
Meniere's Disease, but had been attack free for quite
some time. Suddenly, there seemed to be hope. David
contacted the Doctor and the Doctor explained what he
was using to get relief from his Meniere's Disease
symptoms. Since David went on the same recommended
system, he has also been virtually symptom free. This is
what we want to offer you, a chance.
We would be very happy to communicate
with you if have any Meniere's questions. Let us know if
you wanted to find out specifically what worked for
David to get relief from his Meniere's disease. Email is
best as we can send you relevant information quickly.
We would be happy to share our insight
you have about this disease. Health Canada (since we are
in Canada and must follow their rules) and the American
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) say that anytime you
connect a disease with a possible solution, you are now
diagnosing. We are allowed to correspond privately with
you through email to provide more helpful information.
That includes what helped David and others to find
relief from their Meniere's Disease symptoms.
