Meniere's disease affects the inner ear that contains the nerve of the ear and small organs that help you hear and maintain your balance. Within the canals of the inner ear too much fluid may be produced or there may not be enough fluid properly absorbed back into the body. A case of imbalance of fluids in the body due to dehydration in which diuretics are prescribed that further dehydrate the body. This causes swelling and an increased pressure in the inner ear. The nerves get irritated and tell the brain that you are moving even though you are not. The nerves get irritated and tell the brain that you are moving even though you are not. The brain then sends messages letting you know something is wrong. These opposing signals cause different sensations that lead to the signs and symptoms of Meniere's disease. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, about 615,000 people in the United States have Meniere's disease.

Medicines for treating the signs and symptoms of Meniere's disease may cause a decrease in blood pressure, fast or slow heart beat, problems with moving, or trouble breathing.  Medicines your doctor may give you might be antibiotics, antinausea medicine, antivertigo medicine to help stop your dizziness, diuretics and steroids.

You may have any of these tests for Meniere's like auditory brainstem response test that measure how your cochlea and nerves react to the clicks, blood tests to see how your body is doing, CT scan to take pictures of your brain to look at bones, muscles, brain tissues and blood vessels. You may be given dye before the pictures are taken. The dye is usually given in your IV. The dye may help your caregiver see the pictures better. People who are allergic to iodine or shellfish (lobster, crab, or shrimp) may be allergic to some dye. Or you may have an Electronystagmography also called ENG is done to test for problems you may have with balance or dizziness or an MRI is when pictures are taken of your head that are used to look at the brain, muscles, joints, bones, or blood vessels.

Other options for treatment may include surgery to correct certain problems in the ears may be done. This may include removing some bones or cutting a nerve in your inner ear. Excess fluids may also be sucked out.Vestibular and balance rehabilitation therapy (VBRT) is a form of exercise therapy that may be used to help decrease your dizziness, improve your balance, and prevent injuries.

In my Getting Healthy Diet, Herbal and Emergency Protocols for cleansing and strengthening cells and tissues of the body by from Dr. Robert Morse, N.D., D.Sc., M.H., in the introduction, Dr. Morse says, "Stop the insanity of "treatment" and the idea of "diseases". All experiences of the mind, body and spirit are simply cause and effect." Furthermore, he says, "Detoxification is simply the process of alkalizing, cleaning, and energizing the tissues of the body, thus allowing the body to regenerate itself. Detoxification is the road of true healing." He says, "I have found the more you use herbs, the more success you will have! Remember who created them! Never fear nature - strive to understand it!"

In the Body Language section of my protocol book for cleansing and strengthening cells and tissues it says, "Nothing happens in life for "no reason". All things exist and change from a cause. Cells in your body are the same way. They act and respond via thought and emotions. However these types of thoughts and emotions are carried on in a subtle, almost subconscious way. Cells already function automatically. However, hormones, steroids, neurotransmitters, serotonins, etc., influence them."

"Cells respond to their stimuli. This can have positive results or negative results depending upon the source of the stimuli. The foods you eat, what you drink, breath, and what you put on your skin, can have a positive and enhancing effect upon cells (tissues, organs or glands) or a negative effect. This can cause "hypo" activity of cells and their respective tissues. These negative influences can even kill cells."

"As your cells become weakened or die, they can change their morphology (function). They can be invaded by parasites to finish them off, and/or be consumed by an immune cell to be eliminated."

"As this process takes place in the body, your body as a whole begins to suffer. This creates a "domino" effect causing a change in the way your body functions. This becomes a body "language" for you or your health care practitioner. If you are observant and learn about your body's language or communication, you will be able to determine what organs and glands are failing you." Dr. Morse discusses the way all this happens throughout this book.

Getting back to the Meniere's disease, we will discuss the lymphatic system and sewer system wrapped up into one. "Its job is to clean and protect the body," says Dr. Morse. Furthermore he says, "This system is just as important as the blood system. The lymphatic system is the most neglected and needs the most attention. All diseases begin when this system becomes overburdened and fails. The following are just some of the noticeable effects."

"Colds and flu-like symptoms, many childhood diseases (mumps, measles, etc.), most respiratory congestive issues, sinus congestion, earaches, hearing loss (causing the need for tubes in the ears), sore throats, cysts and tumors, boils, pimples and the like, lymphatic cancers, appendicitis, low immune response, low lymphocytes (when the lymph gland called the spleen is effected), low platelets and a lack of blood cleansing can take place, lymph edema from removed or degenerated lymph nodes, lymph node swelling, allergies, cellulitis, blurred vision, cataracts and glaucoma, snoring, sleep apnia, tonsillitis, stiff neck, cervical spine deterioration from stagnant lymph system in neck (especially when tonsils have beern removed, dandruff, etc."

So, can you see the side effects of a Meniere's disease stem from trouble with your lymph system?

In the What Is Disease section of the protocol book, Dr. Morse says, "To understand disease symptoms is simply to understand acidity and toxicity, and how the body responds to these conditions. In understanding this, you will see how disease is a natural process. Genetics is just the process of creation that passes our strengths and weaknesses to the next generation." In Dr. Morse's over-thirty-years experience, the following three reasons are the root cause of all disease symptoms: inherent (genetic) weaknesses of your family tree that set the condition (that we either make weaker or stronger as we mature, depending upon our lifestyles); second is toxicity that is acidic and accumulates in the body (the greatest impact to your body's state of health revolves mainly around what you eat, drink, breath, and what you put on your skin) - you can even create new weaknesses or strengths for your children; third is overacidity (acidosis) - (the basis of all mater is hot and cold, yin and yang, hot is called acid and cold is alkaline).

"The elements which comprise matter are either acid or alkaline in nature. Acid forming elements include nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfus, etc. Oxygen, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium are alkaline elements. Many of the alkaline elements are known as your electrolytes because of their ability to carry and deliver electrical charges. Alkaline elements have oxygen and carbon dominating hydrogen, where acids have nitrogen and hydrogen dominating."

"Man eats mainly acid-forming foods, e.g. meats, grains, pasteurized dairy products, eggs, cooked tomatoes, and the like. As acidity is hot, like the sun, these acids and compounds cause inflammation in tissues."

"The accumulation of acids and toxic foreign proteins in tissues cause an immune response called inflammation diagnosed as an "itis" of some sort, e.g. gastritis, colitis, cystitis, nephritis, etc. These are not diseases, only inflammatory responses to acidosis.******* This is why the "treatment" of these conditions with more acid-forming drugs or steroids is ludicrous, and will eventually lead you into further degeneration of your tissues. It makes much better sense to alkalize and detoxify or remove the acids and foreign porteins that are causing the problem in the first place."********

So, we've got to know we are what we eat. "Cells DNA and chromosomes carry the memory patterns as your brain cells carry yours."

Many proteins (viruses, etc.) set up the body for eliminating weaknesses so it can replace it with strong cells.

Dr. Morse says, "The problem that comes into play here is that man's typical "fuels" and "building materials" (foods) that he is used to consuming, can no longer support his level of consciousness or awareness. Meaning that most of the food man eats today is very low in energy and vibration (consciousness) which lowers his energy and his cells' energy, thus creating disease and death. That also lowers mans awareness that is the very mirror of hate, gossip, and deceit instead of love."

Furthermore he says, "Treatment never cures." DON'T TREAT - REGENERATE! Man does not have a natural affinity towards milk, meat, or even vegetables for that matter. This is because we are frugivores. We like our fruits, nuts, flowers, and sweet vegetables. Natural simple sugars (glucose and fructose) are our fuels. We have the highest neurological development of any species, and fruits are the highest electrically alkaline foods on the planet. I have seen fruits regenerate the nervous system where vegetables did not."

Conventional medicine says there is no cure for Meniere's disease; however, If you do all the above, your body will clean itself out and rebuild itself, regardless of which "disease" you have!", says Dr. Morse. "The power of God and nature are unlimited."

http://www.godsherbs.com/Test/html/books.cfm is where you will find Section One of Getting Healthy Diet, Herbal and Emergency Protocols states, "The basic protocol for any degenerative condition with the body is simple."

FIRST: "The diet will always be first. In degenerative conditions a 100% raw, living food diet consisting of fresh, organic (if possible) fruits and vegetables is a must! Grapes are the supreme food to clean and restore cell functions. An alkaline medium is essential to the regenerative process."

SECOND: "In any condition, one must always work on the "bathroom" of the body. The "bathroom" of the body is the lymphatic system comprising the lymph, lymph nodes, kidneys, colon, and skin. The spleen can also be included if one wishes. An herbal formula should be taken for each of these areas."

ANY PROTOCOL STARTS WITH THE FOLLOWING FORMULAS that are found here http://www.godsherbs.com/Test/html/formulas.cfm : "Endocrine Glands, Kidneys & Bladder I, Lymphatic System I, II, or III, Parasite-M, Stomach & Bowels #1,2,3,4, or 5. *You may also add two Lymphatic System Formulas together if you desire."

"The Endocrine Gland Formula will increase the function of the adrenals, pituitary, and thyroid glands. Since the thyroid controls sweating, this gland is vital in increasing diaphoresis or sweating, therefore increasing skin function. The Lymphatic Formulas will clean one's sewer system (the lymphatics)."

"Now you can get more specific with location of degeneration. That is to say prostate, lungs, liver, etc. You may add an herbal formula for a specific area. God's Herbs herbal formulas were designed to clean and strengthen specific areas."

Dr. Morse suggests that one takes the Parasite-M Formula. This formula not only kills parasites, it strengthens cell walls. This will help where the immune system is trying to eliminate (auto-immune) the weaker, damaged cells so the body can replace them with new (stronger) cells. This formula will also keep cell invasion of parasites to a minimum, even though this is a natural process of nature. Remember, nature eliminates the weak, man procreates it. So, key word for survival on this planet is "strengthen your cells" which make up your body. In a healthy, strong body, there is no disease!"
