LIPO-FLAVONOID Dietary Supplement www.dsehealth.com or www.lipoflavonoid.com 1-800-331-0221
This supplement was designed by an ear, nose and throat doc to relieve symptoms of Meniere’s disease which include ringing in the ear (tinnitus), dizziness and loss of hearing – it is definitely worth checking into if you are dealing with any of these symptoms. It is carried by many CVS stores and other major pharmacy chains.
| Tip: Before taking you may want to rinse off the tablet for 30 seconds under warm water as it has a coating that contains food coloring, not something I would normally recommend. I was told by a representative of the company that this will not affect the efficacy or quality of it. |

Vertigoheel/Cocculus Compositum - Vertigo/Dizziness
Heel Inc., who manufactures two products to help relieve symptoms of vertigo, nausea and motion sickness – Vertigoheel, for which you need a prescription and Cocculus Compositum, which is the exact same formulation but packaged to be sold over-the-counter. The amazing thing about the product is I have absolutely no side-effects, and it does help to relieve my symptoms. The only negative is that you should not take it for longer than two weeks at a time otherwise it may lose its effectiveness, therefore I generally only take it when I really need it. For more information you can contact Heel at www.heelinc.com or 1-800-621-7644. The over-the-counter version is sold through an online pharmacy, All Natural Health, www.allnaturalusa.com, 1-866-785-1462.

Arnica - Muscle/Sprains/Aches
This topical ointment/cream has been used since the 1500s to help sooth inflammation and is applied topically. It is a homeopathic product and is plant based, mainly from arnica montana – a flower similar to a daisy. It is virtually odorless and works best when applied as soon as possible after the injury. One of my favorites is from Boiron. Their website will provide some additional information, as well as some good information about homeopathic products in general. www.boironusa.com. The University of Maryland has some general information about Arnica on their website: www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/arnica-000222.htm . There are many brands of Arnica to choose from, check with your local health food store.

I am not suggesting it will cure your migraine, but it does provide some relief. For information you can view their website at www.healthfromthesun.com or call 1-800-447-2229. This is also sold at many health and natural food stores.

Jarrow Dophilus EPS 60 - Intestinal Balance
If you have taken, or will be taking an antibiotic, it is also a good idea to take a probiotic to keep your intestinal flora in balance. This product, which includes Lactobacillus, Bifiodobacteria, Lactococcus and Pediococcus , will help restore and or maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your intestinal tract – a vital component to your good health. What I like about this product is that it does not have to be refrigerated, though it is best to do so if you can. It is available at many health food stores, also online at Beachwood Canyon Naturally, www.bcn4life.com.

Fage Yogurt - Intestinal Balance/Acidophilus

It is high in protein and calcium and comes in three varieties: Total, 2% Fat and 0% Fat. Add some organic walnuts and berries and it is delicious, as well as a filling and nutritious snack or meal. If you can’t find it at your local health food store ask them to order it for you – it is definitely worth trying!! The web address for the company is www.fageusa.com.

Kal LoZINCges - Immune Support
Many years ago when I felt like I was coming down with a cold someone recommended this supplement to me - I took it and never did get that cold.
Ever since my family and I take one at the first sign of illness, and though
research may not agree, we all find that we either don't get sick, or the
symptoms are very mild. It contains Vit A, Vit C, Zinc, Slippery Elm and
Bee Propolis. They are lozenges so you suck on them, do not chew!
I actually take one every day to ward off illness, plus it's a bit sweet, so I
consider it dessert! Look for it at your health food store or www.nutraceutical.com.
