Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 My brother has a pretty severe case of Meniere's Disease. They don't know the cause. He has found that diet helps with some of the vertigo, but it's not a cure. There isn't a cure at this time. Tell your friend to hang in there. Luckily, my brother is not having regular drop attacks, but he does have constant vertigo which at times can make it difficult to function. There are several surgical options that can be looked into as a last resort.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Lois, My mother has Meniere's, so I'm familiar with the symptoms and the disruption they cause in a person's life. Coincidentally, I just mentioned to someone on the Living-Foods board today that I would be willing to help her figure out where she might be able to make improvements in her diet to increase her chances of recovering from chronic tinnitus. She said she was going to email me privately but I'm going to suggest to her that we do it 'publicly' so others can learn too. You might want to follow the discussion here: http://www.rawfoodsupport.com/read.php?f=12 & i=76103 & t=76103. Meniere's is caused by the same factors that cause all other diseases -- inappropriate foods, medicines, insufficient rest, exercise, sunshine, etc. There is lots of info about the disease on the web but it's all based on either suppressing the symptoms (as opposed to removing the cause) or the half-hearted and ineffective approaches used by doctors (decreasing salt, caffeine, 'prepared' foods, etc.) Nora www.RawSchool.com Original Message: ----------------- Lois Cole loisc100 Tue, 26 Apr 2005 14:34:37 -0700 (PDT) RawSeattle Re: [RawSeattle] Fwd: Meniere's Disease On my email page I typed in menieres disease and the second one down, " Natural Relief for Meniere's Disese " , has 16 pages of helpful information.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Lois, My mom followed doctors' orders for about 10 years with minimal results, including taking OTC travel sickness meds, diuretics and supplements, and dramatically decreasing her consumption of sodium, caffeine and commercially prepared foods. She's only been open to making sweeping changes to her diet for the last year or so, and even now she eats too much junk. She's had no further drop attacks though. She stopped taking the motion sickness meds a few years ago and has cut back on diuretics because they are causing chronic damage to her urinary tract (of course). Taking remedies can be helpful in allowing a person to endure disruptive symptoms while s/he works on removing the cause of the illness (by fasting and major changes to the diet and lifestyle). Personally, before I started taking herbs or meds of any kind or if my symptoms were so debilitating they kept me in bed, I'd get myself into a situation where I could do an extended, supervised water fast and afterwards I'd switch immediately to a 100% raw vegan diet. If a person can't do a long fast, changing the diet will still stop the progression of the disease and reverse it (assuming it's reversible). Other lifestyle factors are important too, like sleep, fresh air, etc., but diet is #1. Nora www.RawSchool.com Lois Cole wrote: >Thanks Nora. What does your mother do for treatment?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 Lois I will share with you my own experience. Please take what ever may be of help and leave the rest. I suffered from Meniere's Disease for several years. It hit me before I started practicing the raw diet however. I was tested for a variety of causes and was given different forms of treatment none of which really improved my symptoms. My diet at the time was a low salt diet which I had been practicing because both my brothers have kidney transplants. The condition improved in time on its own. I was told that the improvement was called Meniere's burnout. My episodes lessened in severity and the wellness time between bouts increased. I am thankful that the dizziness and falling down have stopped but I have deafness in my left ear, mild tinnitus and some trouble with balance. A friend here in Washington shared an interesting piece of information that I had not heard before. Her doctor found that the majority of female cases with Meniere's, were women that were pre-menopausal. Which was true in my case. Her treatment with a diuretic eased her symptoms. I wonder if hormones play a part in this condition. When I was first diagnosed I could find only two - one paragraph articles on the disease. My brother found a wonder program on PBS that was a lecture to surgeons regarding dizziness disorders with the main focus on Meniere's and the last resort of surgery as a solution. I found it hard to function while I was ill, but I chose not to let the condition control my life. My family and friends knew of my condition and were very supportive, which helped me to function as normally as possible while I was well. I had 5 young children and both my husband I coached soccer and baseball. Spiritually speaking I was told that this condition was my wake up call to turn within and to work on a stronger spiritual connection which I did. The information for understanding this disorder did not come to me until I accepted that my condition could get worse. I prayed that I would be given the information for the worse case scenario so that I could prepare myself mentally. It wasn't until I accepted that possibility that my symptoms began to improve. There is a program called Sound Therapy that claims to have helped many Meniere's sufferers, which may or may not be of help. They also recommend trace minerals and antioxidants for ear health which would be achieved through a raw diet. www.soundtheraphyinternational.com I will keep those sufferers in my thoughts and prayers. I hope improvement will come to them. Light and Love Ramona - Lois Cole rawseattle Tuesday, April 26, 2005 1:36 PM [RawSeattle] Fwd: Meniere's Disease Can anyone help answer these questions, please!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 Forgot to say: treatment for menieres disease; in acute attacks, bedrest is the most effective treatment. (HA!)
