YOU MAY
HAVE OVERLOOKED THIS
A new subscriber
mentioned to me recently that he had found a mention in The
Moneychanger of using vinpocetine for Mennier’s disease that
causes chronic vertigo. You may have missed this, so here it is
again, along with a source for ordering it.
Dr. DEAN Absolutely. One
is a fairly new one, vinpocetine [vin POH suh teen], extracted from
the periwinkle plant. I usually recommend it in doses of 10
milligrams three to four times a day. Vinpocetine enhances brain
cell metabolism and glucose uptake. It’s one of the few things that
has been used to improve vision, hearing, and a condition known as
labyrinthitis. This is a disease of the inner ear that results in a
sudden onset of vertigo accompanied by nausea and vomiting. There’s
really no drug that effectively treats this condition. ENT doctors
will prescribe antihistamines for it, but they only make people
sleepy. So in addition to enhancing cognition, this is the substance
of choice for anyone suffering from labyrinthitis or Mennier’s
disease.
