I just hung up the phone with the company that bought the Heel company of Germany who makes the product Vertigoheel. The funny thing is that both my doctor and the pharmacy here have both told me that Vertigoheel is not an RX but Medinatura company told me for certain that it is. Also that Vertigoheel will be depleting its stocks through prescribers until January 1, 2015 at which time that product will be replaced by Well Mind Vertigo which will also be an RX. So, I am wondering if anybody has actually had Vertigoheel prescribed by their MD and if anybody has Vertigoheel in stock at home. I would love to compare the labels of what I was sent by Bulgaria to what was made in the US. Can anybody help me with these two things? John of Ohio and I started a conversation earlier this week on this in the thread I started about the illimination of Beta Glucans 1,3 from the newest version of his regimen for aybody that is interested in the genesis of this discussion. Thanks so much! Holly
Curious that there aren't any responses to this. Was Vertigoheel not much used by the good folks here? I did find an English slip of paper describing the dose and took it for the fist time right after I almost blacked out and begun to spin. One sublingual dose took the edge off and vertigo didn't set in although I was insecure, scared and shaky the rest of the day staying in bed. Has anybody used Ativert?
Many used Vertigoheel or Cocculus Compositum (same stuff), and got welcome temporary relief from vertigo symptoms. But because these products are homeopathic preparations, with no chemically detectable active ingredients (homeopathic preparations are made by serial dilutions, where the active agenct somehow resides in the diluted, process-shaken water --- look up homeopathy), many of the usuals gastigated the "lack of evidence," etc. for the efficacy of the products. Actually, Vertigoheel is a drug of treatment choise in Europe for vertigo. But there was no use telling about the many here who found it very efficacious. "Placebo effect" it was universally claimed. Homeopathic approaches to Meniere's simply aren't well-recieved here. So, Vertigoheel users just used the stuff and kept quiet. (How do I know this? From several emails to me on the matter, as I used to have Vertigoheel in my Meniere's Treatment Regimen before it was taken off the American market.) --John of Ohio
I have used antivert but it never helped my MM vertigo. but it helps my dizziness when I have a sinus infection
Thanks Vicki and John. I do know what homeopathics are as I was in the massage and natrural healing world for 15 years professionally. When I started with the Regimen, the one I saw had Vertigoheel and that is why I hunted some down. It's rather amazing to me that folks who suffer so with these conditions, have any objection what-so-ever to something that might help others. Just don't get it. Never did. Oh well….
So for those who are open to it, and can obtain it, do you recommend vertigoheel? Is it the same as Cocculus? I found a source here in Calgary- I’ll check the details and report back here!
