Vertigo / Meniere's Disease
Gabriel identifies specific cause of vertigo (BPPV, Meniere's, vestibular migraine, infection, structural): 1) If BPPV: Epley maneuver (curative), 2) If Meniere's: reduce fluid retention (low-sodium diet, diuretics if needed), support inner ear health, 3) If vestibular migraine: treat as migraine, 4) Address underlying infections, 5) Improve circulation to inner ear, 6) Optimize nutrients, 7) Vestibular rehabilitation.

Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel identifies specific cause of vertigo (BPPV, Meniere's, vestibular migraine, infection, structural): 1) If BPPV: Epley maneuver (curative), 2) If Meniere's: reduce fluid retention (low-sodium diet, diuretics if needed), support inner ear health, 3) If vestibular migraine: treat as migraine, 4) Address underlying infections, 5) Improve circulation to inner ear, 6) Optimize nutrients, 7) Vestibular rehabilitation. Conventional medicine often just prescribes meclizine (motion sickness drug) without investigating root cause.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Meclizine (Antivert—motion sickness drug), Benzodiazepines (Valium—vestibular suppressant), Diuretics (for Meniere's), Betahistine (histamine analog—not FDA approved in US), Migraine preventives (if vestibular migraine), Epley maneuver (for BPPV—appropriate), Vestibular rehabilitation, Surgery (for severe Meniere's—gentamicin injection, endolymphatic sac decompression, labyrinthectomy).
Meclizine provides temporary symptom relief but doesn't address root cause, causes drowsiness, slows vestibular compensation, benzodiazepines addictive and impair balance recovery, conventional approach often doesn't differentiate between causes of vertigo (BPPV vs Meniere's vs vestibular migraine require different treatments), doesn't optimize nutrients (vitamin D deficiency linked to BPPV recurrence), doesn't investigate infections or structural causes, surgery for Meniere's drastic (destroys vestibular function), minimal dietary guidance.

Dietary Guidance
If Meniere's: LOW sodium diet (<1500-2000mg/day), avoid caffeine and alcohol (diuretics worsen Meniere's), adequate hydration; If vestibular migraine: eliminate migraine triggers (chocolate, aged cheese, MSG, artificial sweeteners); Anti-inflammatory diet; Avoid high-sugar diet; Ginger tea for nausea; Some benefit from low-histamine diet.
Lifestyle Factors
If BPPV: Epley maneuver (DIY or with PT—often curative), avoid head positions that trigger; If Meniere's: reduce salt, manage stress (stress triggers attacks), adequate sleep, avoid sudden head movements; Vestibular rehabilitation exercises (habituation), stress management, adequate sleep, cervical spine care if neck-related, treat underlying infections, avoid driving during active vertigo, fall prevention (vertigo increases fall risk).
