Interesting, but can't say I agree with some of it, for me anyway. Nuts, almond flour ect are a big no no if you think your Meniere's has a viral cause/trigger.
Because the herpes virus uses arginine to reproduce, you have to have a diet where the amount of lysine is greater than that of arginine to fight against its reproduction. Those foods are rich in arginine. If you take a lysine supplement you can eat anything with arginine as the amount of lysine in your diet will continue to be much higher.
Thank you, Ivan. In this forum I read the very first time about Herpes viruses and Menière's Disease. Is the Connection a theory or is it proven? I think now I should get tested. It seems to me that my episodes of bad vertigo had to do with histamine.
Personally, I don't count on the Lysine supplement to do the job. I now avoid most foods with a high arginine/lysine ratio like nut and nut products. You can Google it herpes and arginine - Google Search
Thank you for your advice, Donamo. I have googled a bit in German; in a pharmacist review it is said there is no evidence a diet avoiding arginin has an effect on Herpes. (The four studies being insufficient.) I have never had any Herpes outbreaks or symptoms, but I have Morbus Meniere. Interesting is, I cannot eat many of the Lysin food, due to food intolerances. I'll ask my doctor. Thanks a lot for the advices. Greetings from Bremen, Lilja
