In an effort to try to get rid of the debilitating dizziness that I've had for over two months straight now, i'm wanting to try something for inflammation and would really appreciate any recommendations for a good natural anti inflammatory.

The dizziness that I'm experiencing is a swaying feeling, like I'm on a boat, and like I could pass out any second. Sometimes it feels like it's coming from my eyes, other times from my head. It never goes away, it's just always there. I feel like I'm tilted.

I also have a hard time scrolling on the phone, any kind of movement feels like it sets the wooziness off.

I'm hypersensitive to basically everything medicine-wise, so something gentle would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Disney,
I've used straight Turmeric for inflammation as I cannot take any NSAIDs. I also like "Inflamed" by Allergy Research Group, which contains the following:

Serving Size: 2 capsules
Servings per container: 60
Amount per serving:
Zinc (as Zinc Methionate) 10 mg
Selenium (50% as Sodium Selenite and 50% as Selenomethionine) 40 µg
Copper (as Copper Sebacate) 1 mg
Molybdenum (as Sodium Molybdate) 300 µg
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) 500 mg
Indian Frankincense Gum (Boswellia serrata) Extract 200 mg
(standardized to 70% Boswellic Acid)
Turmeric (Root) Extract (95% Curcumin) 400 mg
Bromelain (3600 MCU/g) 400 mg
Ginger (Root) Extract (5% Gingerol) 40 mg
White Willow (Salix alba) (Bark) Extract (standardized to 15% Salicin) 50 mg

Hope you find something that helps you. I had a lot of dizziness before I addressed Babesia, but since I have treated for that co, I'm relieved to say it is gone.

Best wishes for feeling better.

InflaMend
Zyflamend
Wobenzym

I have osteoarthritis and I have taken all of the above. No, not at the same time. I have tried them all.

For me, I had to take them consistently and they all took about a month before working.

Hi DisneyLove, sorry you're experiencing dizziness ! I know how awful it is!

I also have dizziness-it was constant & severe for awhile; but I found switching to a whole foods ketogenic diet ( with a few additional restrictions- especially eliminating caffeinesad ) has reduced the severity quite a bit.

I also take MSM & vitamin C ( and a lot of other supplements that are good for inflammation) , both of which have helped, but the diet definitely made the biggest difference.

Hope you are able to find something that helps soon!

Forgot to mention that I have also used "KappArest" by Biotics. I think it has some of the same ingredients as the Inflamend that PeteZa recommended.

If you're overly sensitive, you may wish to start with the straight turmeric vs. a blend with a variety of herbs in it. You could always work up to a blend.

so here the deal, you very likely hagve something called Intracranial Hypertension, which is a hugely under recognized Lyme symptom that even LLMD's dont know about.

it cn be caused by lyme and/or coinfections, and also its a side affect of doxycycline.

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1214410-overview

its basically swellling in the brain and/or increased pressure inside the skull. it can be serious and lead to vision impairment.

I am dealing with this myself. the two things the helped tremendously were first using rife treatments, but few have rife machines so no sense in disucussing it here.

secondly I applied DMSO to my temples, the back of my ears and the base of my skull. Wow! wonderful relief. pressure went down with just a few treatments. perpetual headache and dizziness quieted WAY down. let me know if you want more info.

oh and you can ask to get screened for Intracranial Hypertension, if you are diagnosed they can give you this drug

which is very helpful.

For turmeric to work well you need to take black pepper with it or in a pill where it is already added.

Also, according to a study, published in Planta Medica, taking turmeric in combination with black pepper, which contains piperine, improves turmeric absorbability throughout the entire body. They added 20mg of piperine to 2,000mg turmeric, and it increased the bioavailability of turmeric 154 percent!
