The Ménière's Disease treatment your doctor may not have told you about

Recently had a pretty devastating bout with Ménière's Disease.
In my case, I was able to find something that basically eliminated all the symptoms. Putting this out there for others who may be facing this.
Here are links to some of the things mentioned in the video:

exactly. The healthcare system is similar to that of the judicial system in that doctors are not educated to "cure", but educated to "maintain" the disorder in-order to continue the revolving door effect of patients coming/going to hospitals. The system is in it for the $$$.

[@krystalpriceworkman2482]

I have Meniere's for the past 4 years or so. I had steroid shots in my ear drum that didn't really help. What I have done to control it is eliminated all sugar, grains & processed foods from my diet. I eat only animal protein, some low carb veggies and very little low sugar fruit. I did take an antiviral medication during the height of C0VID, but not taking now. My disease seems to be in remission with the best results coming from a change in my diet. I don't limit salt & do drink electrolytes daily. Of course, good sleep & daily exercise all add to the mix of feeling better once you have the symptoms under control. Again, thanks for sharing. 👍😊💜

What have you been eating

[@teresapowell7824]

I was diagnosed with Menieres Disease 8 years ago. The first few weeks was horrible. I told the doctor I thought I had a brain tumor. My family doctor sent me to an ENT. He started me on steroids, low dosage of Valium, allergy tests. I've been on allergy shots now for 7 years, low sodium diet. I can feel it coming on. My head is a barometer. There are several things I do to try to keep myself going. It's a terrible disease.

[@Lful101]

It is a horrible disease. I was just recently diagnose. Diuretics are offering little relief if any. My entire personality had changed because i can't here people talk normally and many sounds and voices are so irritating to listen to. The depression this has caused is overwhelming. I feel hopeless.

[@gretchenhughes9652]

I have it. It is horrible. I get bad attacks during any weather changes. Low sodium & low dose benzodiazepines at night. It helps. I get very ear fullness, anxious, sweat profusely, depressed, pain, hear weird sounds, even noxious smells, drop spells, nausea, nystagmus, brain fog, & vertigo. I have 2-3 a month.

[@patdrouillard4660]

Hi Jim, I was diagnosed a few months ago. My first episode, I thought I was dying. It lasted 30 ish hours. After I was diagnosed I started to research it. My findings led me to Epstien Barr Virus family. Also belonging was shingles n cold sore viruses. I started to triple my daily amount of L lysine 1000 mg. This keeps it in check for me.

[@MrJkillahoe415]

Jim, happy to see you are doing better. The health care system in our country can be a difficult and sad thing to go theough. From my experience half the time the Primary Care Physician will not listen or take your worries seriously and then when they do it takes months to see a specialist. In the meantime you are just left suffering and fending for yourself. There seems to be no sense of urgency. I wonder if these doctors would be so slow to get things done if it was them in the hot seat. Just rambling here, going through some medical issues here and frustrated with our health care system. Anyways glad to see you are doing better.

Just an update after taking the antivirals for one week, I’m starting to feel so much better and relief. Thank you so much for your helpful information. I am going to physical therapy now once a week opposed to twice a week for vertigo I’ve been doing certain test. Much better. I did have more extreme test done at the hospital with a with goggles they put on you and then put you in a small vertical tube while you sit in a chair in total darkness. For those of you, that are a little claustrophobic, no need to worry because it’s like sitting in the dark with your eyes closed you don’t feel much. They do rotate the chair very slowly both ways to see if you have minor symptoms of vertigo, but nothing to be alarmed about. A little lightheadedness but no vertigo. Then there were other various tests they did with goggles and monitoring. Very light symptoms if any. The one thing that did cause vertigo was when they did the cool air in your ears. My right ear had a little bit of vert but it only last a few seconds. A little more extreme in my left ear and lasted a bit longer , maybe 10 seconds. The warm air in the ear was much more intense in my right ear and way intense in my left ear that lasted for about five minutes then it finally went away. Making progress. For those of you, that may have to go through this test, just know you are in a safe facility that people are experiencing and trained to deal with your vertigo and if it happens, they can help you right away. I was dealing with extreme vertigo drops and throwing up. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your video Jim to help others like me and you dealing with this. May you be very blessed because you are certainly blessing others with your helpful information. Thank you.👍😊 Mark

Ah! You finally had a full-blown Menieres attack. Much like you, I struggled with mild symptoms until I actually had covid. That's when I started having the full blown episodes for 5 or so hours. It's scary! That is what took me to my ENT. Prednisone & dietary changes helped immensely and I did regain some hearing. Finding the regimine from John of Ohio has made a big difference and I regained most of my hearing. Unfortunately, my symptoms are weather related and the barometric changes that happen in the Fall have me fighting symptoms again. But we keep going! The most important thing is not to give in and decide that you are now a home-bound shut-in destined to live in misery. JOH is definitely a big help, but mindset and the help of a good ENT when symptoms flair is important. Good luck on your journey! Thank you for sharing your story and spreading the knowledge of JOH!

hi @user-hi8bs1so4p -- for the prednizone, are you taking that regularly -- or is that just when you have an episode?

I’ve had menieres for over 6 years. I’ve seen every ear nose and throat doctor in the Pittsburgh area. MRI’s, hearing tests, crystals tested you name it I’ve done it. Had one doctor ask me if I felt depressed. I wanted to literally beat him to death. “You won’t die from it, but you wouldn’t mind if you did!” Is the truest statement ever. I’m so happy I found your video! At least it’s something I can try, cause the doctors sure aren’t helping! My nausea is so violent at times I gave myself a hernia.

Hi. I also suffered terribly for a couple of years and after trying absolutely everything, my ENT finally resorted to Gentamicin drops in my right ear.

I get severe attacks where I turn completely pale like a ghost, I get super hot and sweat buckets. The room spins and I vomit profusely. The only thing I can do is sleep. When I wake up I feel like shit, I have attacks all the time. It’s gotten so bad where it’s caused me to have anxiety attacks. I don’t even like to go anywhere anymore because I’m always thinking I’m gonna have an attack. I would do anything to get rid of it.

I was pretty sure that I had meneres because of my dizziness and lose of hearing in my left ear.

He gave me a list of exercises and wished me well. I think he missed diagnosed me. I see my family doctor next week and will ask him for the antivirals and see if my constant dizziness goes away.

Thanks for the video. I have been diagnosed with meniere’s since 2014. I was having severe attacks weekly that would last 18 to 24 hours at a time. The day after I felt like I had a hangover. My primary care sent me to a ent doctor and he first prescribed me diuretics and and that didn’t seem to help a lot. So my ent did a surgery and put a shunt in my ear to drain it. That surgery greatly reduced the frequency of attacks and duration. I still take lasix to try to keep the fluid off that ear. But my doctor has to keep a close eye on my potassium because of the long term diuretic, low potassium can be a life threat. I have had a couple of er trips for that. Initially my ent wanted me to do a low sodium diet,so I tried it for a few months and it made me feel terrible and I couldn’t tell it helped my menieres at all. I read a study since then that said some menieres is affected by sodium and some are not. I think stress is my number one trigger. When I say stress I mean mental and physical (like being really tired,sick,allergies ). For the last few years I have only had a couple of attacks a year, but recently I have had a little more trouble with it. I just want to say thanks again for the video I hadn’t heard of antivirals being used for treatment. I am going to run that by my doctor

[@JS-lr8nj]

Good luck! It's sometimes hard to find a doctor willing to treat it. I go in loaded for bear. I hope you continue to do well. Thanks for the info on the shunt.

I am very sorry for you guys, because I know very well how it is. Recently a doctor mentioned that it could be a simple vitamin deficiency. Vit. B12 if I remember correctly (occurs only in meatvor). Daily 10,000 I.u. Vit. D3 in combination with 400 mcg Vit. K2-MK7 and magnesium I also recommend. Try it, it can't hurt. Don't believe the official intake limits. They are so low that they cannot heal. But in any case I recommend you to change to a species-appropriate human diet. This has already cured many chronic diseases. And that is mainly meat, eggs, liver, bacon. Only whole foods with one ingredient, no label. Rock salt as much as you want. Eat only 2x a day, no snacks. No industrially produced food. No seed oils (highly pro-inflammatory). Instead: Animal fat/lard, lots of butter, very good virgin olive oil, coconut oil. Few or no plants: Leafy lettuces, cruciferous vegetables, very few nuts, mushrooms. No nightshade crops, no corn, no seeds! What can you drink? Real coffee, real tea (no instant), water. Nothing else. Highly recommended here in YT: 1. Dr. Ken Berry, 2. Dr. Chaffee. 2023 will be your healing year! Good luck and success! 🤗❤

One is an injection of gentamicin in the ear which is supposed to be 90-95% effective at stopping the vertigo, but does have a significant chance of increased hearing loss. The other is an outpatient surgical procedure called Endolymphatic sac reduction. It is supposed to be 70-75% effective. I am scheduled for the procedure in April.

@@nrevathy91 I think coffee helps the issues, but other forms of caffeine are bad. Everyone is different so try different things and see what helps. For example, i don't eat or drink dairy products because they create excess mucous in the sinus / throat area. That could clog things up and cause allergies or other issues since the sinus is connected to the ears. Black coffee seems to be a great natural anti histamine and clears out the junk in the head/ sinus area for me, just don't add dairy or sugar. Also using a netti pot to flush things out will speed up the process may help. Do you consume dairy or milk?

Thanks for sharing Your story is similar to mine I have not tried the antivirals but I do the vitamins. Does not help how easily doctors just tell us to live with the disease 😞 I am older and have been with this disease for more than 16 years. To avoid the nasty vertigo episodes , what really helped me through the years , is to identify my triggers . There are two of them that are critical for me, Caffeine and MSG (monosodium glutamate used to enhance foods flavors ). However I can tolerate low levels of regular salt in food. But something that really works for me is to excersise to a point of breaking a heavy and intense sweat. If I don't do that at least once every other week , my ear fullness returns. The way I explain this is because intense perspiration helps my body to get rid of sodium fast. My disclaimer , speak with your doctors before attempting intense excersise to sweat. Thanks again.

Thank you! I had never read about antivirals. I will start learning about the subject because lately I have been losing hearing and having severe tinnitus, but without dizziness or vertigo, fortunately. Most doctors here in Spain only recommend taking corticosteroids, antihistamines, and betahistine. It seems that we have to learn for ourselves. Thank you very much again!

You antivirals drugs or not ? Now hearing loss recovery or not please tell us in detail brother .

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

Mine started with a severe allergic reaction to mold. I sneeze so violently that I grenaded my inner ear, which cause meniere’s symptoms but with 100% hearing loss but constant tinnitus and slight imbalance problems. Low sodium and diuretics only made it worse. Staying fully hydrated helps more than anything I’ve tried. Don’t think antivirals will help with destroyed inner ear. Pilots and deep divers have also suffered from mechanically destruction of the inner ear. Too many doctors may miss this as a cause

Thanks for this video! I am on the same merry-go-round. I did get onto the steroids early, because I did lots of research and pushed the doctor to prescribe them. I’ve been on and off the steroids for nearly nine months now. My hearing comes back, I go off the steroids then I get dizziness. There are tablets for meniere’s here in Australia (Betahistine?) but my ENT says I don’t have meniere’s, maybe just cochlear hydrops so he didn’t prescribe anything but steroids. I had an MRI which supposedly ruled out an acoustic neuroma (tumour). Since you’ve mentioned anti-virals, I thought I’d mention that Vitamin C is actually a NATURAL anti-viral, and can be taken in high doses. Think I’ll give that a try today as I’m lying on the bed after another horrible attack of dizziness.

[@_Becx]

Hi I'm in Australia too and taking betahistine. I've recently come across DTR therapy in the US and hoping for something like that here! There's an entire playlist on KZbin with patients with ménière's, having this treatment done.

What did the steroids helps you with?I just got the prescription and I forgot to ask dr

[@peternorton2445]

I have had Meniere's for about 10 years and after the first 3 years which were really bad. I had regular periods of Vertigo, throwing up violently, no balance and hearing loss - gradually. Then it slowly went away for about 5 years with just the tinnitus and the gradually getting worse hearing loss in one ear. About 18 months ago it came back with a vengeance. Vertigo, lack of balance, nausea and total hearing loss in my left ear. I went for head adjustments in case it was not Meniere's this time and balance therapy, which helped a little, but I started back on the Methazolamide tablets that my doctor gave me 10 years ago when this first started which is a diuretic and it has calmed right down again except for feeling a little off balance now and then. I also obtained some Betahistine which is not available in the US, but used in Europe and other areas of the world to treat Meniere's. If it gets bad again I will switch to this from the Methazolamide, which I take daily. The one thing that I do know is that once you get this disease it will abate, it will change in intensity and types of events, but it will never seem to end.

Hello Jim , thanks for this video! Did you ever try the JOH regimen then? Or did you go straight to antivirals? I usually have bad reactions with any kind of drug (especially when taking them for long periods) and was considering to try the JOH regimen first. Thanks!

[@JS-lr8nj]

I am doing JOH but not Lysine. The antivirals do the same thing, but better. I discovered quite a few positive health benefits to the vitamins. I'm not a person who even believed that vitamins were worthwhile prior to this. I always figured they just give you expensive pee. But they seem to be doing a lot to improve my circulation, etc. Lysine works, but seems like it takes 6 months or longer. Best of luck no matter what you decide.

[@coleorum]

My first attack was sudden and without warning when the room suddenly span round and I found myself on the floor with sudden acute nausea and cold sweating. Like you I called for an ambulance because I had no idea what was happening to me. At the hospital the nausea abated and I began to return to normal. The whole episode lasted about 2 hours. When I asked what they thought was wrong they said it could be a variety of things and suggested it might be de-hydration. I started to increase my fluid intake and thought it was the answer until I had an identical attack 3 months later and a further attack after another 2 weeks. By now I was looking for a solution on the internet when I came across Meniere's which described my symptoms perfectly. I mentioned it to my doctor who agreed it sounded the most likely cause. I was prescribed Betahistine which i now take daily. It has now been 3 years since I had my last attack. I haven't had any problem taking the medication. Thankyou for your video.

[@BRathjens51]

Hey Jim, I feel your misery. I too have Vertigo, but I really think it's Meniere's as my Great-Aunt had it and it is genetic supposedly. I've seen a Neurologist and she prescribed Meclizine. All I think it does is lessen the chance of vomiting (sometimes). This disease is life altering for sure. I have had hearing loss in my right ear for decades and I'm quite deaf in the right ear now with tinnitus. My left ear is declining now. I'm 70 years old. I've been sick with this since last fall Sept/Oct 2021. I saw my ENT and he sent me to another one of his offices to have an ENG test. I show up for the test and they said I was not in the computer as having an appointment. Two ENT offices were merging practices apparently and I got deleted. I was relieved because I was terrified of the test making me nauseous. I fired that place. I haven't yet moved on finding another ENT. Last night I was watching a KZbinr "For Beautiful Smiles" who is a dentist and he located in Oregon. The patient (a man) made the trip from Houston and his story is very good. This dentist has patients who were cured of Meniere's (maybe not permanently) by treating them with the therapy he uses for people with TMJ. It's called a DTR test. The patients felt a significant change after the first treatment. Subsequent visits continued to help this man. The Dentist's name is Ben Sutter. I left a message for him in the comments if he knew of a dentist he could recommend in my area (Long Island). When I see my daughter-in-law I'm going to ask her about this because she's a dental hygienist. I wish you all the luck in the world. I'm really hoping that President Trump and Military will release the miracle working Med Beds to the public. There are different ones for different problems. This is technology that has been kept secret from we the people and only used for the Elite of this world. It cures practically everything. They even can regrow limbs.

if this ever stops working, I'll look into that tmj treatment. The other thing I'm curious about is that Dana White from the UFC flew to Germany and got some sort of stem cells injected into his ear (i may have gotten that wrong, but that's what I think it was.) He claims that after 2 treatments, he was cured. The problem is, of course, that means 2 flights to Germany, but that's another thing I will try if this ever stops working. I hope you find relief.

I've been diagnosed with Menier's disease for a few years now, I am 34. I feel nascious, get vertigo attacks, have been visiting two doctors and both treat Menier's with Betahistin, Hydrochlorothiazid and Cinarizin (pills, pills and pills to reduce the amount of water in my body and decrease heartbeat, even though I am not a cardiac). My MRI was negative, clean spine, no tumors, nothing, thank God. Have not been drinking, smoking, eating salt for months now. I still have the same sympthoms - feeling like standing on a boat or right-side-spinning while having pulsitile tinnitus and it is getting progressively worse which sucks. Tinnitus changes based on changing my body or head position. When I bend over, tinnitus gets more intense. And occassionaly there is sound sensitivity. I visited a physiotherapist, have been working out in the gym, getting 8-10 hours of sleep, and yet I still feel tired in the afternoon. From my blood work I have a higher level of lipids. (6'9, 290lbs.) I can see, when opening my jaw, it goes left side first then the right side, it is like half-an-inch late.

Ow that sounds really bad man, I hope you will find some remedy that will help... Have you looked upon intercranial hypertension?

pretty similar story. But my ENT (heads of the department at Stanford), came up with the same info. I actually had shingles (localized on my hip, so not on my face/head), prior to my attacks. They felt that maybe I did have an antifungal infection in my inner ear, or in the area where it's a closed system. I was only on that medication for 45 days or something, plus my shingles vaccinations. Hearing loss is prevalent, in fact I lost 67% hearing in my right ear, in a 6 month time frame. I'm not on any antibiotics or antifungal now, so not sure if you are continuing to take them, but that would be interesting to know. I'm also not minears positive, but it very well could be A typical meniere's, I can tell you that my attacks moved from right to left horizontal, to vertical attacks, where the floor seemed to drop from from under me after the antifungal treatments. currently attacks seem to be seasonal now, Nov-Mar, but they are lessening...
