Can Ted or Bill offer help with this:

In 1999/2000 I HAD a Meniere's attack. It lasted for a week and was gone. Fast forward to 2011, I lost my job and my father in 6 months time. Started having problems with my ears being plugged up, stuffy feeling, dizziness at times, off balance. All this would come and go. One day in July of 2012 put my in ER at hospital with nausea, vomiting, dizziness etc. Was given an iv and thought to be a stomach bug of sorts, my guess was dehydration from too much hot outdoor work and not enough water intake. sent me home, continuing off and on same symptoms but more frequent for days at a time and then stop. July 2012 once again in ER for the same uncontrollable bout of previous year. I didn't help as much this time. Go see ENT specialist, ears checked, hearing checked. He suggested MRI done to rule out possible tumor(s). Suggested low slat diet to help with water retention that is causing symptoms. Also go on a water pill to help with too much fluid. Was trying to stay off salt as much as I could. Yesterday I am at work and get another bout and back to ER at hospital and another iv etc. got pills today for water retention and scheduled MRI for September.

I am searching for natural remedies to maintain this disease. I don't understand if low salt means no sea salt as well? I have started researching Meniere's and come up with MANY possible causes. It should be noted I have a great many high, medium and low food intolerances, suspect candida as well and all that goes with that. I really don;t know how to proceed day to day and get my live back enough to function and hopefully be able to keep my job. though the job is contributing to my stress load and continually search for a new one, though that is not easy where I live.

Sorry if this got so long but posting on here gives me hope of being led to information that will help me thank you all

Hi Cindy... Teds remedy for Meniere's is shown below:

"Ted from Bangkok, Thailand: "Meniere's Disease:

This is the simplest possible cure for this condition. You should see a dramatic reduction in tinnitus, dizziness, vomiting in a matter of days. The cause is a virus, likely to be a herpes viruses. The condition attacks the area and when you first have it, you know when it started. The remedy to get most of the viruses killed is to take 1000 mg of vitamin C, followed by a 55 minute doses and take 1200 mg of lysine for a total of 6 doses on the first day. On the second day it's 1200 mg of lysine at 55 minute dose interval for a total of 4 doses. The third and fourth day is the same. To make sure it's completely gone, you try to take at least 1200 mg of lysine dose twice a day for the next 30 days, or longer. The point is, the very first week usually 90% is gone on the first week. The lysine is kept up at a fairly high level. For the more tougher cases, an aspirin 500 mg can be added along with the vitamin C on before starting on the daily doses of lysine. That means vitamin C 1000 mg plus aspirin 500 mg before starting the 6 doses of lysine on first day, 4 doses on second day, 4 doses on the third day, 4 doses on the fourth day. It's a four day remedy that usually kills most of the herpes out of the system. If it isn't out, the attacks will be far and between, instead of getting more frequent attacks with each coming year, until it becomes very debilitating. I managed to see a couple of cures, from this Meniere's disease. If there are tougher ones, there is alpha lipoic acid, zinc and alkalization to deal with it, as well as lemon bioflavonoid, piracetam, and the like. But it's likely to be lysine, vitamin C and aspirin in that order. I am presently investigating alpha lipoic acid in such use, but since herpes always goes away before I get a chance to start it, I haven't yet a chance to try it yet.

Thereafter the one month, I think a maintenace dose of just 1200 mg lysine should prevent most future attacks. If not increasing the dose to just twice a day should be sufficient."

Since, from the research, it is suspected that Menier's is caused by the herpes virus -- this is why Ted's remedy works so well, because this remedy is essentiallly an anti-viral, anti-bacterial remedy.

I would also advise that you supplement turpentine or distilled gum sap of pine. This remedy is anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-mycoplasma and anti-parasitic and is described here by me in this post stream as part of a remedy for candida. Pine oil is also a diuretic which will help against your retention problems.

Pine oil is also regarded as a health giving food in Asia. To see more -- just do a Google Search on "Korean Red Pine Oil" or "Japanese Red Pine Oil".

If you don't like the idea of supplementing turpentine then I would advise that you could easily supplement pine needle tea instead. And since you live in Wisconsin which has so many pine trees -- then this is a free and easy remedy for you to make.

In the time of the early American settlers who were spreading eastwards across America, many of these settlers had diseases like scurvy and other problems because of poor diet. From the history, apparently the native American indians took pity on the settlers and they showed them how to make the pine needle tea which cured many of their problems including scurvy. Pine needles contains large amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin A. The equivalent weight of pine needles contains 8 times more vitamin c than one orange and 4 times more vitamin c than a single lemon.

So here is another option for you. Pine needle tea contains the same beneficial oils as pine oil or turpentine (mainly alpha- and beta-pinenes). And if you are living in a region with pine trees like Wisconsin -- then it's a free cure -- all you need are the fresh pine needles to make the tea.

To make pine needle tea add two tablespoons of fresh, washed, chopped pine needles to a teapot of water that has just boiled. Steep for 10 minutes then just drink the tea. You can also make larger batches of pine needle tea like this and store it in the fridge -- it keeps for about 5 weeks because of its anti-microbial properties.

Take the pine needle tea three or four times a day.

If I may add to Ted's anti viral recipe and the pine neddles suggestion... If the assertion by Ted is correct, that Meniere's is caused by a virus, my favorite viral killer is colloidal silver and I hope readers of this site will consider it. To get to the ears, when ever I have an ear infection I use an ear syringe and squirt into the ear canals twice in an hour letting the liquid drain out by leaning the head to the side; the same as when one gets water into the ear when taking a shower or getting out of the swimming pool (or ocean... my favorite).

The infection could be all the way into the eustasian tubes which run from ear canal to the sinus cavity so one would want to ingest into the sinus cavity also. If infected in the sinus, it will sting so be prepared for a sharp stinging sensation the first time you irrigate the nasal passages... If infected that is. If you irrigate both sinus and ears two to three times, most infections will be killed.

Ted mentions the amino acid "lysine" and lysine is indeed anti viral but orally taking the lysine will take a long time to get to the problem and where the body has minimal circulation such as the eustasian tubes, the effect will be minimal and if the infection is also in the eustations, there may likely be a "secondary infection" which happens all the time when a doctor has a patient on antibiotics to kill a bacterial infection. Why? Because the anitbiotic cannot "get to" the eustations. But an irrigation method using silver goes straight to the source of the infection.

And silver atoms kill virus, fungus and bacteria. I use a high ppm dosage; I make my own and have done so for twenty years and take two or three times weekly; orally and anytime there is any sign of a sinus or ear infection or sore throat.

Dave, or anyone who knows: how much Colloidal silver do you administer to each ear?

Replied By Rob (Kentucky) on 12/10/2022

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.
