Here is some interesting science on a cure for Menieres Disease?

Well, it is probably a bit premature to say cure for Menieres Disease. However there is some compelling science on how it can be treated. It all comes back to the master antioxidant Glutathione.

Here is the first scientific study abstract.

Vertigo Center, S. Rita Hospital, Milan, Italy. xrapon@tin.it

This verification study had the supposition that Ménière's syndrome was the result of certain pathologies. It is interesting to note that they found...

“a constant homogeneous distribution of the metabolic products of this microtoxicosis, such as a high concentration of free radicals and low natural defenses (e.g., antioxidant plasmatic capacity).

Therefore, there exists a kind of dangerous central and systemic presence of reactive molecules, aimed toward the polyunsaturated fatty acids and homeostatic complex enzymes, that is not compensated for by the natural antioxidant defense. The presence of this lack of balance, verified by suitable tests, has shown the rationality of use of a product made from reduced glutathione, thioctic acid, cysteine, and other antioxidants as a multipurpose antidote to this element of etiopathogenesis.

Patients were divided into three groups (control, conventional therapy, and antioxidant treatment), and those in the antioxidant treatment group, especially those with Ménière's syndrome, demonstrated a net and more significant improvement.

Also, parallel clinical and instrument evaluations of this new therapeutic solution, the efficacy of which has already been positively demonstrated, are expected to provide further evidence to support the primary hypothesis.

Did you note who had the greater improvement. When looking for a cure for Menieres Disease, or at the least a treatment, consider talking to your doctor about boosting your glutathione levels.

Consider a second scientific study.

Department of Otolaryngology, Hiroshima University School of Medicine, Hiroshima, Japan. masati@hiroshima-u.ac.jp

OBJECTIVE: To perform a trial to assess the efficacy of radical scavengers, i.e. rebamipide, vitamin C and glutathione, for the treatment of Ménière's disease (MD).

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Rebamipide (300 mg/day), vitamin C (600 mg/day) and/or glutathione (300 mg/day) were given orally for at least 8 weeks to 25 patients with poorly controlled MD. RESULTS: Of 22 patients, 21 showed marked improvement of vertigo; 12/27 ears showed improvement of hearing disorders; 17/27 ears showed improvement of tinnitus; and 18/25 patients showed improvement of disability. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that treatment using radical scavengers has the potential to become an effective new therapy for MD.

Add to this an important bit of information. Studies have demonstrated that glutathione is not well absorbed in the gut. The best way to get glutathione is by taking the building blocks, including bonded whey protein which has natural cysteine.

Remember that glutathione is your bodies master antioxidant. It is what makes the other antioxidants work better. When thinking of a cure for Menieres Disease or just a treatment, think of glutathione.
