Meniere’s Disease
Meniere’s Disease is an abnormality of the inner ear causing a host of symptoms, including vertigo or severe dizziness, tinnitus or a roaring sound in the ears, fluctuating hearing loss, and the sensation of pressure or pain in the affected ear. The disorder usually affects only one ear and is a common cause of hearing loss. Named after French physician Prosper Ménière who first described the syndrome in 1861.
There is no known cure for Meniere’s. However when I was examining one of my patients I did anthropometrics to determine her inherited glandular pattern. She demonstrated a rather normal glandular pattern except for one thing she was extremely deficient in the posterior pituitary gland. Page showed that this gland opposes the adrenal cortex. Part of it’s function is to keep the adrenal cortex from over functioning. It may be that this deficiency allows for the adrenals to over function and wear out. Therefore short term treatment would involve supporting the adrenal cortex with a glandular supplement such as Drenamin. However, long term treatment would be to supplement the posterior pituitary gland according to the Page method. I suspect that this would be a probable cure for Meniere’s. This patient had been hospitalized several times in the past and diagnosed with Meniere’s.
A Doctor at Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn New York stated that the cause of Meniere’s may lie in a deficiency of the adrenal glands. He treated 75 patients with whole adrenal cortex extract. He put them on a diet that avoided excessive carbohydrates. His results were gratifying. Ninety percent of the patients improved. It took about a month for the vertigo to improve, two months for the ear ringing to lessen and there was an improvement in hearing although this took longer.
