Ali. Hi – it’s Nancy. I’ve been in touch with you through twitter. My husband has been a menieres sufferer for over 33 years. We even at one point did the ear shunting that did nothing and we actually are lucky it didn’t make it worse because for many it does. I have helped a few people over the years by speaking with them and discussing some of the things that have helped my husband. Recently though we went through a really rough time and he was bedridden for over 2 months. At that time I found Dana whites interview and his success using the regenekine treatments. We live in the United States and did not want to travel to Germany so I investigated and found out that the doctors at ny spine where trained by the German doctor who invented it and where doing this procedure in ny. Now there is some backstory because the doctors at ny spine work with every major athlete and do this procedure for orthopedic use. Most of Hollywood also visits for orthopedic use. Their offices are filled with thank yous from every major athlete out there. So how did they find out it works for menieres patients ???? I sat with the doctor there and talked about it for 2hours. It turns out it was mostly by accident. Dana White is an example. They realized that when they did the injections in certain areas that people who had complaints also of vertigo, dizziness and menieres where helped. Now they have worked to perfect the injections to specifically work on menieres patients. They inject the jaw – upper cervical vertebrae and very close to the ear area – along with other sites and over the course of a few weeks as the internal inflammation goes down the patient has relief. My husband has not had an attack since so far. He is doing much much better. The doctors there are fantastic and understand menieres and the suffering of patience better then any ENT we had ever seen.
Once you understand that any disease has an inflammation component it’s easy to understand why this works. The one thing I would say is that the longer people wait the harder it is to get relief from and that in my husbands case I wish we would have done it 30 years ago( it wasn’t developed though) – it took about a full month or two after to feel the full effect however the doctors say it varies greatly. Dana white felt it immediately. Some within a day or two , some within weeks…. everyone is different . The procedure is not cheap , it could run anywhere from 10-20 thousand in the USA. In Germany it’s cheaper. However – I will say this- if I personally was suffering from this horrible disease – I would do it no matter the cost – I’d put it on a credit card if I had to— because getting your life back is worth every penny. Honestly , everyone knows you can’t work with menieres – so just the fact that he could get back to work made it worth it. Ny spine is amazing but hard to get an appointment because it’s packed with major athletes. So at the least I’d call there and see what the timeframe is to have a consultation with dr. Caplas. – he is who does the evaluations. Dr schottenstein is the neurologist who actually does the injections once your blood is spun. It’s a natural process. Nothing to be frightened of and they take amazing care of you. Feel free to share this info on your website. Believe me I know what menieres is all about- I’ve lived and breathed it for the last 20 years. I would like people to know I am not associated with them in any way and was just lucky enough to find them. You should also know that the procedure is FDA Approved only for orthopedic use so it’s not like they advertise what they have come to discover about the menieres issue. They simply can’t. I do know that it worked for us first hand and if it wasn’t for Dana white putting it out there I’m not sure where we would be. Also – it’s not stem cell- they take your own blood – spin it and then create a actual serum . They serum reduces all the inflammation . Again – speak with dr. Caplus – he can explain it the best. Also this is not prp – where they just spin the blood and inject that back in. It’s a whole other level of medicine and is cutting edge and that’s why it’s price tag is so high. Worth it for anyone suffering to find out about. I should also side note that when I called they place in Germany and mentioned menieres they where a little weird about it , probably because it’s for orthopedic use – not sure- but I know that Dana white did it there and I spoke with this doc about it and even though Dana did it years ago he is still doing amazingly well. .
It’s worth it to contact them
This is all our personal experience and I wish anyone who reads this well. I will also side note something important. If you are a menieres sufferer realize decreasing inflammation. Is key. I also keep my husband on a very very low carb paleo diet- feed him absolutely nothing that comes from a box a bag or anything with sugar. This has also over the years provided incedable relief when nothing else worked.
No breads, no grains, no legumes, no sugar…. at all.
Just fish and veggies and meat and veggies some nuts some seeds and very minimal non sugary fruit.
Hope this email helps who it needs to!!!! With love NANCY
