We are interested in finding out what; if any, are the results of patients taking Vertigoheel for Vertigo from Meniere's Disease and having Diabetes. Is there a study on this? Please help. Thank you.

Vertigoheel has compared favourably to betahistine, dramamine, and ginkgo biloba in human clinical trials. Although atherosclerosis-related vertigo was examined in the ginko trial, there doesn't seem to be any mention of meniere's-related vertigo, specifically.
The drug, Serc (betahistine) had been used for years as a treatment for meniere's disease. Studies have supported its efficacy in the treament of meniere's like a 1997 study concluding that betahistine was superior to flunarizine for vertigo. More studies dating back to 1976 have provided support for its use in treating vertigo, migraines, and tinnitus. However, the FDA remains unconvinced and classifies it as an inert substance with no dangers and little proven efficacy. As for vertigoheel, it has been shown to be superior to (but only marginally) the drug Serc or betahistine. So, it seems that there is valid evidence to support its use for vertigo in meniere's disease. As for diabetes, I cannot say how vertigoheel would affect that condition positively or negatively.

Vertigoheel seems to be very well-tolerated by vertigo sufferers in clinical trials. I have never come across any incidents of gout associated with it or it's main ingredient, cocculus compositum. Generally, homeopathic preparations are considered very safe and free of any side effects. It is, however, necessary for a qualified homeopathic doctor or naturopath carefully prescribe and monitor specific dosages for each individual.
In a long-term clinical study, Vertigoheel was shown to be as effective for vertigo as betahistine hydrochloride (SERC), a standard therapy in Europe for vertigo. Both reduced the frequency, duration and intensity of vertiginous attacks during the 6-week treatment period. For more than 90 percent of study patients in both treatment groups, the tolerability of both drugs was rated as 'good' or 'excellent.'

Additional Information
Since its founding in 1936, the company Biologische Heilmittel Heel GmbH has manufactured sophisticated homeopathic pharmaceuticals at the highest of quality standards. Initially established in Berlin, the firm moved to its present location in Baden-Baden in 1953. There it continues to flourish, owing to the vision of its founder, Dr Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg (1905-1985). Dr Reckeweg elaborated a synthesis of homeopathy and conventional medicine, which culminated in his development of an extensive line of antihomotoxic medications. This new generation of homeopathic remedies provides the naturopath and the conventional practitioner with easily applied preparations characterized by excellent patient tolerance. Today, Heel is an international leader in the production of homeopathic injection solutions. The company produces 70 million ampoules annually in accordance with the stringent Pharmacopoeia specifications of the European Commission.
Fantastic stuff - Works much better and faster then the other anti-vertigo medications.

Ventigoheel/Vertigoheel
I couldn't live without this product. I suffer from vertigo which literally throws me to the floor. Until I found VertigoHeel, nothing worked. Your product keeps me functional. I haven't had a severe attack since I started using VertigoHeel. If there is even a hint of an attack, I use the product immediately.

You're a terrific company to work with. Thanx.
The product helps to manage my vertigo very well. The oral drops are especially helpful in an acute episode.

THE VERTIGOHEEL IS WORKING
I purchased Vertigoheel for my brother. He was diagnosed with Meniars' Disease about a year ago and was experiencing bouts of vertigo that would put him in bed for days. His job requires frequent air trips across the country and the vertigo was very serious during these trip and after. I found out about VertigoHeel by researching the disease and purchased him a bottle of the drops. After all; the doctors were not offering a whole lot of hope for him with medications and diet; so he had nothing to lose. He is on his fourth or fifth bottle now and has had great results with the product. He loves to ski and snowboard and is able to once again travel to higher altitudes with his family for outings in the snow. Thank you for your product - it has given my brother his life back.
