MY HISTORY WITH MENIERE'S, WHAT I FINALLY FOUND and HOW WE CAN HELP
Hi. My name is Denise. I am 43 years old. I have suffered from Menieres Disease since 1995. Of course, at the time, I had no idea of what it was. All I knew were the symptoms I was having: vertigo, nausea, vomiting, reoccurring infections, low immunity, migraine headaches, circulation impairment. Shortly following, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Asthma, and Gastro Reflux. Conditions worsened with only little help from my doctors. There was no choice but to leave my career because I was losing my focus and having vertigo in the office.
I found myself so very ill, isolated and depressed with no solutions (as there still is no cure for Meniere's). I then sought help from an herbalist. I tried 'everything', but all I ran into were practitioners who 'thought' they knew what it was, but actually did not know and could not admit that they were not able to help me.
Just to feel well and function is all I ever really wanted. Sadly, I had come to find things I tried as a temporary fix. I'd be well for a while only to crash again, never relieved of that horror of vertigo. I began getting so ill I was bedridden many days on end and always housebound, some of the time living alone. The disease became progressively worse. Every time I experienced the vertigo, it was having an effect on my vision, my hearing, and my overall balance. I had more motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, allergies, severe tinnitus, light-headed or heavy-headed. Then, it felt like my body was becoming toxic rejecting 'all' organic substances, so my doctor strongly suggested I discontinue all the herbs I was using at the time. He said I was 'confusing' my body and actually making my problems worse because there were so many elements I was 'mixing' together. I was taking things that were not tested, approved, or that were full of fillers. Later I learned how herbs can easily throw off your chemical balance taking a while for your body to recover to its natural state and that the inactive ingrediants in most supplements can be a great cause of symptoms also.
I remember one day driving home from work on the highway. All of a sudden, the vertigo was coming on fiercely leaving me sweating and shaking. Luckily, I pulled to the breakdown lane laying down in the car. I tried desperately to flag down a passerby with no avail. I drove off the exit and got out of the car feeling as though I had just drank a case of beer trying to walk a straight line. A stranger drove me to the hospital and I knew then how seriousness these symptoms were.
I was not at all against conventional medicine for ear and eustacian tube swelling. But, it didn't work, leaving me with stomach trouble and strongly making my immune system weaker, taking me several months to heal. A medicine I took to stop vertigo attacks worked at first, but then became ineffective also tearing my stomach lining, always leaving me with much pain. I then tried a diuretic, which I also found I was unable to take because I felt it hurt my stomach and made me dehydrated. So, the last medicine they gave to me was for migraine headaches, and that felt like speed seeming to effect my heart. I just recently heard it was one of theose harmful arthritis medicines killing people and recalled!!!

I started the System in May 2003. I knew I needed pure vitamins that my body could tolerate and assimilate easily- (they were no longer the corner drug/healthfood store deal). I wanted my cells to feel clean and alive aiding the elimination process, like an ongoing cleanse. I finally found all this and more and never regretted trying this 'one more thing'. It has done, and continues to do, all I need and more as time passes. My vertigo is controlled and I have more energy to be myself again! I had gone off the supplements for a short time as a test because of my lingering skepticism, and BOY could I tell the difference! All my symptoms returned, so I made the decision to never go without them again.
I've been down a long, dark road and came close to giving up before I found this System. We are not here to push anything on anyone but I literally can't hold my tongue when asked about how they have helped me. I let people know that the System works and how these supplements are nothing but HI QUALITY NUTRITION & OF PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE....very well worth trying. They speak for themselves and we do have the scientific evidence to prove it. Once people use them they stay with them. There is no reason that anyone should suffer the way that I had over a span of about 16 years. And I assure you that I am here for support as well and want to help you in any way that I can.
We know that these vitamin supplements work and cannot be compared or even come close to any supplement sold on the market. Most people are like I was and very skeptical, which is always the way to be these days for sure. I was skeptical because I had tried about everything there was and nothing else worked. We realize it is hard to believe that nutritional supplements could be so helpful. Still it has been proven that they are and have done wonders for so many people. The key here is that these particular ones are considered "Optimal Cellular Nutritional Medicine" (rather than just the RDA amounts or being "Alternative Medicine"...They are like the consistancy of food and can be taken in conjunction with conventional medicine.

My foremost desire is to help people afflicted with the horrible, disabling symptoms of having a chronic compromised immune system like this. The reason is that I have suffered with it myself for so long with no promising solutions that I feel so strongly in helping others. I formerly studied under a locally known naturopath and a chinese acupuncturist. I have much first hand experience with alternative health methods. I am also a certified herbalist, although I no longer practice with herbs, per say, but moreso focused on complete and balanced nutrition for continual healing amd relief.
I am now part of an international team, founded by an RN of 20+ years and her family. Her husband was a Meniere's victim for many years until he discovered The System Program himself and has recovered remarkably.
We devote our time to being available to Meniere's sufferers and others with similar symptoms helping to provide them with resources, progressive related information and answers to their many questions. We guide them through The System which is an affiliated doctor's specific recommendation of very high quality pharmaceutical-grade vitamins/minerals/antioxidants (the complete and balanced nutrition). Our goal is to guide these people in a positive healing direction for their lives.
