Mayo Clinic " invents " dizziness treatment

 

The Mayo Clinic has " invented " a treatment for people who experience dizziness

upon standing up from a sitting or lying position, a condition called

orthostatic hypotension. The drug pryidostigmine is proposed as the cure.

[Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry 2003;74:1294-1298] A press

release issued from the Mayo Clinic states: " No drug treatments that are free of

side effects are currently available to treat orthostatic hypotension. " That's

true. But a vitamin can. The Mayo Clinic researchers fail to report that the

problem emanates from a vitamin B12 deficiency. Researchers in Austria have

conclusively shown that, with vitamin B12 deficiency, the nervous system may be

unable to adjust in a timely manner to changes when rising from a sitting or

lying position, which can result in dizziness or fainting. [Autonomic

Neuroscience 2002 Apr 18;97:45-54] Researchers in France proved that the

provision of vitamin B12 resolves every case of orthostatic hypertension.

[Review Neurology (Paris). 1998 May;154:342-4] Also, the drug pyridostigmine is

an acetacholinesterase inhibitor. So is the Chinese herbal extract Huperzine.

Don't tell this to the Mayo Clinic doctors. They've been pushing drugs and

shunning vitamins and herbal remedies for a long time now. The provision of

pyridostigmine will mask the deficiency of vitamin B12. The title of this report

should have been: " Modern medicine casts another blind eye at natural remedies. "
