Stopping the Most Stubborn Vertigo & Dizziness

Vertigo is one of the most common health complaints that doctors get. Most of the time, they’re unable to help.

And even after doctors use their most effective techniques to treat vertigo, and after it seems like the underlying cause is gone, the vertigo continues.

But a study in the latest Chinese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery now reveals a simple method to eliminate this residual vertigo after initial treatment.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the type of vertigo in which calcium crystals fall into the semicircular canals in your inner ear, where they irritate the nerve hairs that send balance information to your brain.

Drugs cannot cure this type of vertigo. The most common treatment method is head movements that move the calcium crystals back out of the canals so they can no longer interfere with the information those nerve hairs send to your brain.

But even after completing a program of head movements, many vertigo sufferers still struggle with residual dizziness and the accompanying difficulty in daily function.

With these people in mind, scientists from Fudan University in Shanghai conducted a study to see how to finish off that residual vertigo that survives initial treatment.

They recruited 129 people with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo who had undergone successful canalith repositioning procedures and whose circular canals were now free of these irritating calcium invaders.

All the subjects were still struggling with residual dizziness.

The researchers divided them into three groups:

• one that received no additional treatment.
• one that received vestibular rehabilitation training for four weeks.
• one that received 12 milligrams of betahistine three times a day for four weeks.

Betahistine is an antihistamine commonly prescribed for vertigo.

At the end of the four weeks, the participants completed the commonly used Vestibular Activities and Participation measure, a questionnaire that asks respondents about their daily activities and social participation to check the effects of dizziness on their lives.

In addition, the researchers performed a sensory organization test, a common balance test that assesses subjects’ ability to use visual and other sensory clues to maintain their postural stability.

These were the final results of the study:

1. The daily activities and social participation of all three groups improved over time, with the subjects in the vestibular rehabilitation group experiencing the fastest improvement. There was no difference between the rates at which the other two groups improved.

2. The balance of all three groups improved at the same rate until reaching normal levels.

3. It took between two and three weeks for all symptoms to resolve.

This shows that natural treatments are just as good or better than medications. And the best way I know to tackle the most stubborn vertigo and dizziness are the simple vertigo exercises explained here…

Vertigo Cured Using This Simple Home-Based Technique

A new British and Swedish study reveals disturbing findings on doctor’s ability to help people with vertigo.

Or, you could say it reveals the amazing ability of people to heal themselves of vertigo.

Because after receiving info on a simple way to heal vertigo, the self-help group fared much better than the group guided by doctors.

A total of 296 vertigo sufferers, aged 50+, were either sent for face-to-face visits to a doctor or were directed to a simple website with information and techniques to battle vertigo.

A vestibular rehabilitation website was compiled by health psychology and primary care researchers at the University of Southampton. It included video demonstrations, text directions, personal feedback, and cognitive-behavioral coping strategies.

The general practitioners to whom the other group was sent served at 54 primary care facilities in the south of England.

To measure the severity of their vertigo, the researchers gave the participants the Vertigo Symptom Scale–Short Form at the beginning of the study, after three months, and again after six months.

By the end of both the three-month and the six-month periods, the vestibular rehabilitation group had less vertigo than the general practitioner group.

Moreover, after both of these periods, the vertigo-related disability scores were also much lower in the vestibular rehabilitation group than among their peers who received the standard treatment.

This shows that people can often achieve much better results from taking charge of their conditions themselves than from relying on doctors that may sometimes be misguided.

But even better than vestibular rehabilitation are simple sets of vertigo and dizziness exercises, found here, that work almost instantly to tackle the most stubborn vertigo and dizziness…

These Common Foods Cure Vertigo

Vertigo is the most common complaint that doctors receive.

One of the reasons it’s so hard to treat is that doctors struggle to find the root cause of vertigo.

But now, the European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology has just published a study that identifies one cause of almost all cases of vertigo.

And with that comes a simple solution to treat it naturally.

Peripheral vertigo is usually contrasted with central vertigo. It occurs when something goes wrong in your inner ear, as opposed to your brain or brainstem, as is the case in central vertigo.

The overwhelming majority of vertigo cases in the world are cases of peripheral vertigo.

Turkish researchers from academic and medical institutions in Istanbul and Kutahya wanted to know whether people with peripheral vertigo had more oxidative stress in their bodies than people without vertigo.

They recruited 60 subjects—30 with vertigo and 30 without—who had an average age of 60.

Blood samples were collected from all the subjects and tested for three common markers of oxidative stress: prolidase, malondialdehyde, and catalase.

They found substantially higher levels of prolidase and malondialdehyde in the bloodstreams of the vertigo sufferers compared to those without vertigo, but there was no difference in the levels of catalase.

This suggests that people with vertigo have higher levels of oxidative stress than the rest of the population, as indicated by two common markers.

It is fortunate that it is possible to prevent some of this oxidative stress—first, by avoiding foods that cause oxidative stress, such as refined grains, sugar, fatty meat, and too much vegetable oil, and second, by eating plenty of antioxidant foods.

Antioxidant foods include the following:

1. Vitamin C. Think kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, yellow bell pepper, tomato, peas, guava, kiwifruit, orange, lemon, grapefruit, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry.

2. Vitamin E. Think spinach, broccoli, squash, pumpkin, sweet potato, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, almond, hazelnut, pistachio, sunflower seed, sesame seed, pumpkin seed, shrimp, oysters, crayfish, trout, herring, salmon, kiwifruit, mango, blackberry, peach, apricot, and guava.

3. Vitamin A. Think sweet potato, carrots, butternut, all squash, pumpkin, kale, spinach, lettuce, tuna, oysters, milk, all sweet peppers, paprika, basil, marjoram, tomato, mango, and papaya.

4. A wide variety of flavonoids in a wide variety of foods, especially rosemary, oregano, sage, marjoram, cucumber, artichoke, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, red wine, grapes, blackberry, cocoa, capers, onion, and citrus fruit.

5. Curcumin and capsaicin. Think curry and chili peppers.

This leaves you with many antioxidant foods from which to choose.
