Nutritional Supplements for Meniere’s Disease – Do they help?

The use of Nutritional Supplements for Meniere’s disease is something that has been used for decades to help sufferers live a normal life. The reason it can help is simple.

Supplementation is exactly what it says. When you use nutritional products made of highly concentrated food extracts, you are supplementing your diet; adding extra or filling in the gaps where the food you consume may be lacking.  If the immune system is given the adequate amount of nutrients through diet and supplementation, it has more chance to be strong enough to deal with the inflammation that results in the symptoms of Meniere’s.

It is not a cure, nor a treatment. Using nutritional supplements helps the body function as it should. In a perfect world we would get sufficient nutrition from diet, exercise and sunshine for the immune system to cope. The reasons we may have to supplement are covered at length in The Need for Balance Dealing with the Cause of Meniere’s disease.

At the time of the video below being posted (2007), everyone connected to Meniere’s Help had lived with Meniere’s personally and been lucky enough to rid themselves of the symptoms using high quality dietary supplements and adjusting their lifestyles.

However, in the years that followed this video  I myself and many, many more that I know of alone were able to identify and deal with our individual root causes. Our understanding has evolved a great deal.

And this is something that I have tried to focus on for readers of Meniere’s Help ever since; how to identify your individual root causes, whatever they may be and what to do about them.

The video below was originally recorded in 2006 and a LOT has changed since then.

We have come a very long way in the years since. We now know without a shadow of a doubt that nobody (possibly excluding post invasive or destructive surgery) should have to constantly suffer with the symptoms of dizziness, brain fog, vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss. It is a matter of educating yourself and taking the appropriate action in your case.

Video transcript

Hi everybody, My name’s Mike and I’ve lived with Meniere’s Disease for over 13 years. For the first 7 years of that, you’ll know if you’ve got Meniere’s, was “Hell”.

For the last 6 years I’ve been symptom free, and, there is a very good reason for that. You see until that time, I think I’d tried virtually everything possible.

I’d tried all the medicines and therapies, and I’d even tried very expensive surgery, which was totally unsuccessful.

Basically nothing worked. And, (coughs) excuse me, I’m not used to talking into a camera, so you’ll have to excuse my mannerism, anyway around June 2002, despite the fact that I was extremely skeptical, I tried this nutritional program and basically it changed my life!

What you’ve got to understand is we’re talking about vitamins here, vitamin supplements, and until then, I had absolutely no interest or desire, or certainly no belief in the benefits of nutritional or vitamin supplements. I thought they were utter, a complete and utter waste of time and money.

And to be honest with you I still think a lot of them are but the ones I did take, they did it for me.

So, you know, I didn’t trust this idea one little bit at the time. But if you’ve got Meniere’s yourself you’ll know just how desperate you can get and you’ll basically try anything when you get to that point but you know the way I looked at it, I felt I’d tried everything and this was just a last resort.

I thought I had nothing else to lose except a little bit more money, which I didn’t really feel like losing at the time to be honest with you.

So you know I went into this with really no confidence, no belief that it would actually work, but just tried it anyway and, thankfully it worked, you know, simple as that, it worked got rid of all the symptoms.

I mean it took time but I really could feel, even at the beginning, when I had my ups and downs, I could really feel I was on the mend.

The vertigo attacks became much shorter, and eventually disappeared altogether. The other symptoms, well like, the fact that you’re always tired, the constant dizziness gone, just gone and that was in a few days to be honest with you.

Suddenly I had this huge amount of energy. I mean any energy would have been nice. You know, after going so long with no energy and being so tired and depressed about it all any energy would have been great.

But suddenly I had bags of it, it was fantastic and the pressure in my left ear and all down the side of my face that was all, just gone, fantastic! And the brain fog, the fact that I couldn’t concentrate, suddenly I could basically.

I had my life back basically, that’s the point. I went from being as low as I possibly could, to basically being very very energetic and I had my life back. That’s what we all want isn’t it? We want our life back.

Well, about 2 years after I started these supplements I decided to join this support group, that had actually advised me, or recommended these supplements to me in the first place. And they actually do a lot more than that.

But you know I decided to join them and help them out and since then I’ve learned so much. I mean firstly there are a lot of other things you can do to help yourselves and it’s not as hopeless as you think. There really are a lot of things you can do.

And secondly I’ve seen so many other people get their lives back just like me and you know a good number of those people were just as skeptical as I was.

It’s fantastic to see these people go from as low as we are when we’ve got Meniere’s and to get rid of all their symptoms and get their life back. You know the feedback we get is fantastic and it makes you feel it’s worthwhile trying. [to help support people with Meniere’s Disease]

Well okay, what’s the point of this video, well, the problem is, the only shame of it all, and it’s a massive shame really is that the vast majority of people who hear about these supplements we take, they don’t try it!

You know I guess their skepticism gets the better of them, and understandably so. I mean it took me 18 months to actually try it and then I only tried it because I was so desperate.

So you know, these people probably don’t want to spend the money on supplements, they just never try it. And it’s a real shame because they are missing a chance of possibly getting rid of this..(Meniere’s Disease symptoms)

So anyway, if you’d like to get the information on the kinds of things we use, and lots of other helpful information, just go to the website below (Menieres-Help.Com) and I’ll see you there. You take care of yourselves.
