Could this be true? Could this be it? Over in Japan studies show a link between Meniere's disease and herpes virus. The way they study this is with autopsies. An MRI or CAT scan can't detect herpes attachment to the inner ear. Autopsies reveal herpes attachment to the cochlear structures in the inner ear of Meniere's patients.
L-lysine is a cheap, OTC non-prescription substance available at all grocery stores, drugstores, Walmart, wherever. It is an amino acid, something we have in our bodies anyhow. Taken in large doses it can suppress the replication of herpes. I have been taking large doses (3000 mg a day) on an empty stomach since mid-December. I think I am experiencing improvement. No major attacks. Since the first of March only small off balance spells. I am eating Big Macs and Fries, Whoppers and fries with no after effects. Last Sunday after church I ate in an Italian restaurant with my singles group, spaghetti with meatballs and mushrooms and it was very sodiumish. No after effects. I have put on 7 1/2 pounds. Maybe I am onto something.
I have been screwed before. I hope it doesn't happen again. I never thought it was herpes. Hopefully it is and hopefully I can eliminate or greatly reduce symptoms and get my old life back.
