On my googling journey as you all know I love to research and see if I can find new studies or info about MM I found something that seems could help Meniere’s although it is not specific to MM but seems very interesting and very affordable. It is a product called Immulox, which is made from bovine colostrum and is rich in peptides, which modulate the immune system i.e., it activates the cells which can fight off infection, and it inhibits the dysfunctional cells that are causing auto-immune problems like allergies, etc. It is made in Phoenix, AZ, by Dr. Andrew Keech, from New Zealand, who has researched immune modulation via peptides for many years. The DR says it does not cure anything but it balances the immune system as it should be. This is the link to their site if anyone is interested. http://www.apsbiogroup.com/ This is the Doctors site http://www.drkeech.com/ Also there are a few youtubes about the product https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNZ9ss3oZAM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViB3k_gvLp0 But if you search you tube for Dr. Andrew Keech they will come up as well as others about it. If anyone tries it I would love to know any results.
This struck me it may be helpful to MM due to the studies and the doctors that connect our immune system and Meniere's.
I have been taking it for a while and I have not been sick with anything such as a cold or flu. My boss turned me onto it. He takes it and is never sick. I never thought of it from a menieres perspective but it does make sense if what we have is immune related.
This is an interesting find, Vicki. Thanks for posting it. A study reference from the site shows it seems to help allergy symptoms: http://www.apsbiogroup.com/immulox/references/AAAAI_Meeting_San_Diego.pdf
yup and allergies definitely trigger Meniere's symptoms, it is also said to work on viral and bacterial infections. Articles I've read said Colostrum contains Retinoic Acid, which helps fight herpes virus.
if you go to pubmed and put in colostrum or Lactoferrin you can get search results or google double blind studies with the terms https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS528US528&q=double+blind+studies+for+colostrum
I believe it may have helped with my menieres but I had the shunt surgery so it is hard to say since I have not had vertigo since my shunt surgery. I believe this product is classified as a prescription drug in some countries but not in the US. I am hoping to attend a conference where Dr. Andrew Keech will be talking. Hopefully if I am able I will ask him if he is familiar with menieres.
I am going to a presentation for our medical organization by Dr. Andrew Keech next month. My focus as a physical therapist is on rehabilitative medicine for injured athletes. Trisha
Hi Vicki, No wonder this colostrum is so familiar, about 10 years ago plus, I used to do an MLM which promotes anti-aging and containing colo and also "preached" about it. Back then, I bought it and spray it under my tongue and my ex also, it seems to work on the energy level, really cool product but not cheap also. I just googled it again, not sure if the product is still available for purchase, I saw that it contain gingko also. Looks interesting to me. Cheers.
I believe this product is are the polypeptides extracted from the colostrum and work as an immune system regulator for either an over reactive or under reactive immune system. It balances the immune system. Trisha
Just found out that this product is no longer available, might have been delisted due to HGH found in the bottle mentioned. Vicki, so you mean to say that this Immulox, you are looking at only colostrum that might help?
I don't think the Immulox has been discontinued, I heard about it and posted the information, I have never used it. I take antivirals to control my MM symptoms. I have been vertigo free since Jan 2013 and virtually dizzy free as well. My balance is greatly improved too.
Hi Vicki, It seems like when I googled for "colostrum spray", i get few other brands similar sprays that contains colostrum and polypeptides. I also tried on my usual iherbs ordering which delivers well to my country for JOH diet. There are 2 different but low reviews. The 2 brands are California Gold and Symbiotics . Any familiar with the brands?
i have been taking colostrum every morning and every night and i seem to have more energy. i am also using the Immulox spray periodically throughout the day. trisha
