Dr Strand was one of the doctors credited with originally putting together the regimen of supplements discussed on Meniere’s Help and elsewhere. This regimen has been successfully used by sufferers to support their immune system and keep symptoms either to a minimum or suppress them completely since the late 1990’s.
Why cellular nutrition is important for Meniere’s Sufferers
In this very informative video he talks about the concept of ‘healthy cells’ and the importance of nutrition in avoiding and in some cases reversing degenerative diseases and health conditions such as Meniere’s Disease.
For 23 years he was opposed to and did his best to put patients off the idea of supplements, claiming they just produced “expensive urine” and had no benefits.
Listen to how and why he changed his mind.
Of course he plugs his website and Doctors practice at the end. But this is a very informative and important video for anyone considering trying these supplements used with such success. Perhaps especially the more skeptical of us.
We have long touted the benefits of one supplement product we use which has grape seed extract as its main ingredient, based on the experiences of our readers. Listen to Dr Strand’s opinion on this.
If you think salt isn’t a problem if you have Meniere’s disease or if you are struggling to manage your salt (sodium ) intake to help reduce your Meniere’s Disease symptoms, here is an article with some good advice and a slightly shocking (in terms of the amount we are all consuming – for everyone) video.
Personally, when I suffered from Meniere’s ( I no longer have it) I never counted the mgs, as some doctors will advise, but I never added salt to my meals at the table. If I ever did eat junk food (not a good idea if you have Meniere’s ) I always asked for no added salt on my fries. And generally I tried not to eat salty food.
Sodium is an essential mineral for life however. The trick is finding balance. To read more about how you can balance your intake of salt, reduce your Meniere’s symptoms and still benefit from the need for sodium read here:
I am doing much better these days. I was taking the supplements for over 4 months without any improvement and not being able to pinpoint any factors which was my trigger. Someone told me about a doctor in Belfast who no longer worked for the NHS as he took a more alternative therapy view on health, a more holistic approach. I attended his clinic about 3 months ago and after a consultation and some investigations he diagnosed my problem as candida overgrowth. For this he put me on supplements to deal with the bacteria overgrowth and a strict diet (no yeast, no dairy, no sugar). He also had me attend a chiropractor as he felt my neck had a lot of tension in it which could be triggering some of my dizziness/vertigo. Since I have been on this diet & supplements and finished course of chiropractor treatment i am feeling much better, more energy, no vertigo in 2 months, sleeping better….just feeling like my old self again! The only thing that still bothers me at times is the tinnitus but i can live with that!
Thanks once again for the help and support i received from you

I am doing well, feeling better and stronger generally. I am taking my tablets, staying off wine and bitter, if I do drink, I drink a good lager. I have cut right back on salt, but still indulge in coffee. I feel least good when I am walking for some reason with my head fuzzy and I find it difficult to go in a straight line!

I have been great for a couple of years now but have had a set back over the last few months. I was worried about keeping on taking the supplements constantly so given that I felt ok i let things slide and stopped taking the tablets. Needless to say within a week or so I had bad dizziness and hopeless hearing in my left ear and I was back on the phone for more supplies and have been back on the pills for four weeks now. I would say I am still a long way short of where i was before I stopped taking the pills. So, any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
