About DizzyStop®:
Why I created DizzyStop®
As an otolaryngologist I have always been interested
in the problem of vertigo and balance. But it wasn't until the symptoms
of motion sickness began to affect my family that I started to research
natural methods to relieve vertigo and motion sickness.
Some years ago a friend of mine invited our family to go fishing on his
sailboat out of the San Diego harbor. My boys, who were 9 and 11 at the time,
were very excited to go. It was the perfect day for fishing, blue skies and
calm waters. Unfortunately, the trip was cut short when even before leaving
the harbor my wife and children became quite ill with motion sickness.
A few months later we attempted the same trip again. This time we thought
we would be smart and armed ourselves with seasickness pills. But instead
of
becoming ill, the motion sickness pills we took made the entire family
tired and the kids ended up sleeping the entire time and once again could
not enjoy
fishing or sailing.
As it turned out my wife had a life long history of motion sickness from
childhood. She could not ride in the back seat of the car or go on amusement
park
rides or sail on a boat or ride any conveyance facing backwards-including
airplanes.
This is due to a common condition which is benign but in which the balance
canal signals [resting discharge] to the brain are slower than average.
This results in the motion sensitivity that occurs with movements that
stimulate the balance canals.
While I knew the condition was benign, it seemed that there should be
a means of relieving the sensitivity without the debilitating side effects
of
the seasickness pills or patches that are prone to cause drowsiness.
A trip to China in 1986 exposed me to the benefits of herbals, acupressure
and
acupuncture for the management of benign vertigo and motion sickness.
The Chinese herbalists have successfully used herbals for thousands of
years. As I began to do more research I found that out that the Native
American
culture has also utilized herbals successfully for motion related
sickness.
After examining the variety of herbals used, I
studied the scientific literature to determine if there was scientific
evidence to support the use of herbals in managing motion sickness,
nausea and benign vertigo. I found the answer I was hoping for. There
is firm scientific evidence for the beneficial use of herbals for the
relief of motion sickness, nausea and benign vertigo. The next question
that needed to be answered was-how can I develop a product that is
safe and effective for use while still maintaining the integrity of
the natural herbs. Some herbs when combined with medications may have
an interaction that could be injurious.
Many of my patients take multiple medications
for heart, high blood pressure, anxiety and other chronic
conditions. It was essential
to develop a product that would not interact with other medications
and when taken would not have any side effects commonly associated
with other motion sickness pills. And so I came up with the formula
that is now DizzyStop®.
I began recommending the herbals
that are now in DizzyStop, to my patients thirty years ago. I also started to lecture on the subject. My patients have experienced remarkable benefit without deleterious side effects over these years. This includes men, women and children. One of my partners is presently doing a study on the benefits of the herbals in DizzyStop® for
a condition known as Benign Positional Vertigo.
On an anecdotal
basis it appears to be effective. The
results of the study will be published
in the near future. At the beginning,
my professional colleagues were dubious about recommending herbals
for motion sickness and vertigo. I am now happy to say that over
the years they too have recommended the herbals utilized in DizzyStop® on
a regular basis. The formula that has benefited my patients for over
30 years is now available to everyone.
I created
DizzyStop® to facilitate the
purchase of a reliable combination
of proven herbals to the general
public, to promote a product
that works without drowsiness
and is safe and affordable.
So whether it be room spinning
dizziness or fishing trips
with the family, now you can
enjoy life without worrying
about motion sickness and the
more benign forms of vertigo.
