That's odd. I was diagnosed with vertigo about 10 years ago and the neurologist gave me a list of food restrictions and on that was anything that was citrus.. It was said to be a vertigo trigger.
Colloidal Silver
peter,
Many people on EC have reported using drug store hydrogen peroxide(HP) for ear infections to good effect. Some people are very sensitive to HP so it may be worthwhile to dilute it to 1.5% HP with distilled water initially, to make sure it is well tolerated in the ears and it is possible that 1.5% will be strong enough to be effective. If not, testing 3% HP next would be a consideration. It might be a good idea to also take NAC at the same time, as NAC increases catalase levels and catalase can neutralize HP before it can cause tissue damage. HP is a potent oxidant and while it can kill many various pathogens, you might not want it hanging around too long where it can damage tissue also.

Put Ear Crystals Back in Place
★★★★★
I had vertigo and cured it with Semont Maneuvers.
Semont/Symonds worked for me, it re-positions the crystals in the ear tubes.
No more drugs
Epley Maneuver
★★★★☆
I've practiced the Epley maneuvers 3 times for about 10 years which helped. This last episode over the past 2 weeks has helped but I am still having vertigo. Came across a CU doc, Dr. Carol Foster who has a different maneuver I started this morning. So far good.
I've been on a Candida diet without incident due autoimmune issues. A month ago I gave in and started introducing breads (regular & GF) and a bit of sugar and then the vertigo returned.
A lady selling fresh breads at the local farmers market suggested avoiding 'enriched' breads specifically the 'potassium bromide that is seeming to be a culprit causing health issues. Back to the wheat free diet.
Colloidal Silver
I have vertigo for 3 months after covid and am curious if the cs will cure it?
Dehydration Link to Vertigo
★★★★★
i too have suffered vertigo. went to a dizzy specialist at ucla, westwood, california who showed me an excercise that anyone can do. you drop your head off the side of the bed while on your back. slowly turn your head from one direction all the way to the other direction. or perhaps it is lie on your side and do it....i am sure you can find a link and a video on line, my kaiser doctor friend sent it to me one time. the ucla doctor said it was hormonal in my case, the kaiser dr didn't think so. i have snapped my neck many times, boogie boarding, snow boarding, skiing etc. but i thought it had something to do with being dehydrated which is why someone on here saw a connection between caffeine and vertigo, caffiein being a diuretic. my own theory is that the dehydration dries up the liquid in the ear and somehow these particles get in the wrong place. moving your head when you feel ilke throwing up and cannot move is HARD!!!! and i had to do it more than once but it worked and i spaced it out cause i was sooo sick. the doctors agree that moving the head, and thus the ear relocates the loose particles in the ear. i know this is a great discovery for many people but perhaps won't work for everyone. don't forget to always stay well hydrated!!
Acid Reflux Medication Link
★★★★★
My father in law has been struggling with severe vertigo. I read this post and told him it might be the OMEPRAZOLE (prilosec) he is taking for acid reflux. He requested his doctor chang his medication - and he recovered from Vertigo.
L-Lysine
★★★★★
Use L-lysine for menieres. My husband had it. At the time I searched Med papers and found it's related to herpes virus. Lysine works for that. He took it and it went away. When he had his specialist appointment he said he used lysine and they were shocked. Said that there were studies in Germany happening only now.
Physical Therapy
★★★★★
Vertigo:
No one here is talking about BPPV. benign proximal positional Vertigo. As we age, the gelatinous layer in our inner ear which holds the crystals gets weak. Sometimes they come loose into the canals causing Vertigo. I had this and physical therapy fixed it.
Dietary Changes
★★★★★
Vertigo:
The dietary change that worked for me was eliminating dairy. If I start eating dairy again I get clogged ears and then popping. If I don't stop eating it I eventually end up with room spinning vertigo. But when stopped again the vertigo goes away
Colloidal Silver
peter,
There are various causes for vertigo. Vertigo can be caused by pathogens of different types in which case colloidal silver may be effective, but colloidal silver is not likely to be effective for a cause such as head injury, hypotension or vertigo caused by a medication. If your friend knows what caused their vertigo, that information would be helpful in trying to remedy the situation.

Nasal Rinse
To add to this remedy:
He uses a "NEIL MED SINUS RINSE" product you can find at the supermarket or online. It's a saline solution with about an 8oz bottle.
You put a saline packet in the bottle, and fill with warm to hot water (your preference).
Next squeeze one half of the solution into one nostril, and allow the water to flow out of the other nostril. Then switch and do the same thing for the other nostril.
He does this in the shower once per day. But says if your allergies are worse you could do it twice per day. He has only had to do that a few times though, and it doesn't seem to be needed for him anymore.
In his experience this will not cure a vertical bout, but it will prevent future ones.
All the best,
Jose (for Phil)
Epley Maneuver
★★★★★
I suffered from dizziness foe several months which my doctor diagnosed as Vertigo. I was rather put out and sceptical when her recommendation was to look up Epley maneuver on "you tube". She said some people only need to do it once for success! Well I did it with the help of my husband twice a day for a week and it did stop altogether. It is straight forward after you have watched a couple of times and costs nothing so must be worth a try.
Magnesium
★★★★★
This past weekend I was researching for my daughters illnesses. In those articles ( wished I would have saved them) it said that Vertigo has promising healing results when you put the patient on a gluten free diet and magnesium is increased in the patient. Soak in Epsom salts daily. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil daily up to 4 TBs helps with may brain disorders. They are finding that the wheats today are not like the wheat 100 years ago and many are having gluten intolerant issues...which are damaging the gut. Leaky gut can cause auto immune diseases. Auto immune diseases are rampant these days!!
Meniere's Disease Remedies
Colloidal silver can be used as an ear drop for ear infections or painful ears. Simply put 5-10 drops into each ear, followed by plugging the ear with a cotton ball several times a day or as needed. Place drops of Colloidal Silver directly into the ear several times per day. It is helpful to place some cotton in your ear afterward to avoid excess solution from dripping out.
Dietary Changes
I can attest that after having dropped the traditional processed salt and using both Himalayan and Sea Salt, food never tasted better. For the well informed, the old age of processed salt and white flower bread is.............. D E A D.
Dietary Changes
I agree with the ladies above. Our bodies need the minerals in Himalayan salt, or Celtic salt. It can prevent numerous health conditions that are present in today's society. processed salts like Morton's do not contain near the amount of minerals as Himalayan or Celtic salt and Morton's has toxic chemicals and way too much sodium.
Avoid Artificial Sweeteners
★☆☆☆☆
Hi Angela, Yes it may well be a cause but it is not the only cause. I know one person who has it and he has never had a diet drink or food in his life nor does he drink any sodas or eat junk food. Although one might say that the white bread he has with all 3 meals is junk! Salt makes his menieres worse but they only had table salt and he has never tried natural sea salt. I also know a family who drank diet cola regularly and 1 of them still does (around 3 a day) and this person has very bad menieres.
Avoid Artificial Sweeteners
★★☆☆☆
I have Menier's & don't drink any soda or artificial sweeteners of any kind.
Eliminate Artificial Sweeteners
★★★★★
Eliminate artificial sweeteners. The slightest amount of aspartame will cause me to spend the next full day with such a severe vertigo attack that I cannot get out of bed without walking into the walls and very severe nausea . It did not take me long to make the connection as I do not use aspartame on a regular basis. A friend told me about aspartame poisoning. Some people just cannot metabolize this chemical.
Eliminate Artificial Sweeteners
★★★★★
Vertigo
Eliminate Aspartame and sugar free foods and drinks. I realized after reading a article regarding aspartame on EC was linked to lupus and other aliments. I came to the conclusion it caused my Vertigo. I was overdosing on the stuff daily without being aware of it. I began drinking coffee at work with artificial sweetners 1-2 cups daily, had a diet soda with my lunch, then would drink energy drinks, chewing sugar free gum. ALLLLLL contained aspartame. Once I took that out of my diet and started paying more attention to the labels on the products I consume. Its one year later still no signs of vertigo.
EC: Thank you, Ga_bass. Your feedback has been cross-posted to the aspartame side effects page: https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/aspartame.html
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was only 27 when I got vertigo from a virus and have had on and off trouble since 2010. So discouraging when you are trying to raise kids and make a living. I have often thought my vertigo seems to worsen with indigestion. You are the first I have heard of that relates. I look forward to trying this.
Rule Out Ehs First
★★★★★
This happened to me while waiting in a doctor's office for a friend. The office had a funny smell too. I'd like to say a metal smell. After 15 minutes I had to hold on to anything I could to leave the office. And I had to sit down outside in the fresh air for 30 minutes before I could drive again. It scared the life out of me.
Epley Maneuver, Peppermint Oil
Hello EC, Selectatarian of MD and Sam of Miami,
Doctor Eric Berg teaches about vertigo in some of his YouTube videos. He say it can be caused by mucus in the sinuses, or possibly calcium deposits in the ear. He believes that vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 can help to remedy the situation. In the below YouTubes he suggests using 50,000 IU Vitamin D3 and 500mg of K2 together one day a week.
In an earlier video, his advice was 10,000 IU vitamin D3 with 100mg daily. However he says he learned that the above once a week method worked better.
Please look at the YouTubes below if you want to hear what he says about vertigo.
Have you seen this Dr.Berg video
Foster Half Somersault Maneuver
★★★★★
The only treatment for my vertigo that actually helped was the Foster half somersault maneuver. Google it.....brought such a relief when prescription medicine and chiropractic treatment did not.
Lugol's Iodine
Hello! With regards to tinnitus- are you putting it in your ear or massaging it around the outside? Thank you!
Colloidal Silver
Art, I am sorry did not response to you earlier, friend's doctor told him that the crystal and inflammation caused the vertigo.
He has been doing the Epley exercise and his spinning problem has subsided.
Currently he has infection on both ears. Doctor prescribed antibiotic and gave him a steroid shot. He is concerned and see if any other option that you might suggest if above drug might not work. Thanks
Nasal Rinse
★★★★★
My uncle just shared his cure for his vertigo, and I wanted to post it here and see if it helps others.
He used to have bouts of vertigo almost every day at times. He started using a nasal rinse and has had it only once in three years. He believes his vertigo was definitely allergy driven.
Hope this helps you!!
I found you online about flush out sinus to get rid of vertigo. Not sure if you can respond back to me.
I want to ask you how often should I use the squeeze bottle rise my nose with a day mix with- 1/2 peroxide & sea salt? There is no instructions on how many times to use a day, how many squeeze & how long to wait after each squeeze of solution. Can you reply back asap?
Lemon and Basil, Epley Manuever
★★★★☆
I have been suffering from vertigo for two months or so. I have noticed that if I have no caffeine at all and drink lemon juice in a mixture of basil and honey and water and drink that every day, the water can be cold or warm, it is up to you. That, coupled with the epley maneuver plus prayer helps me alot.
Lemon Rind
★★★★★
Eriocitrin from lemon rind is very effective for Meniere's Disease (MD).
If you can't get the supplement in your health food store, simply grate the rind of one lemon every day and add to any juice before drinking. Adds some 'zest' to your juice as well.
Epley Maneuver
★★★★★
I had BPPV.
I saw a vestibular therapist who did the Eply Maneuver on me. It is a simple head movement that a professional needs to do to you so that it is done properly. If it's not done properly, it won't help. Good luck.
I do not know if this will help... But regular table salt that we buy at the store is detrimental to your health. It is the sodium in sea salt or Himalayan sat that our bodies need. We have been on sea salt for over 2 years now. Try using that.. But I strongly suggest you try Himalayan salt. Make sure you buy from a reputable source. I hope this helps you.
Garlic, Mustard Oil
sorry, but you are very wrong on this one. Lots of people use garlic oil and hydrogen peroxide in their ears. Garlic kills the germs in a ear infection
Garlic, Mustard Oil
Also, people have been using sweet oil (olive oil) for years.
Garlic, Mustard Oil
Dr. Oz did a show about using warm coconut oil drops in the ear.
Eliminate Artificial Sweeteners
★★★★★
Reporting I cured myself from vertigo in 2010 it's now 2013. Simply eliminating aspartame. Still not one episode. HOWEVER, IF THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU there lies a bigger problem, ask your doctor to check for Gliosis. Scarred brain tissue and early signs of MS. A friend was recently diagnosed.
Spinning Yoga Exercise
Sounds like you are suffering from the same afflicition as me, BPV - Benign Positional Vertigo. It is due to crystals in your ear being out of place and the last time I had it I was cured instantly after bumping my head (quite hard) when standing up. This time I am taking a gentler approach and using the Brandt and Daroff exercises which you will have no problem finding on the internet. Hope this information helps.
Spinning Yoga Exercise

This worked for me first try! I stood next to my bed post as I turned, to maintain balance. I followed the instructions exactly. No more dizziness!
