DEAR DR. GOTT:
You have written about vertigo several times. In a few, some of the writers said that they were taking “Lipo-Flavoniods”. I have suffered from vertigo for a number of years. It comes and goes but this last attack has lasted for six weeks with no signs of letting up so decided to try these “Lipo-Flavonoids”. However, having searched in several vitamin stores and calling several more, I could not find the product and was told that it did not exist. They said they had a product called “Bioflavonoids” and perhaps what I had read was just a misprint. I purchased a package and am trying it, but I think you should write a correction in your column because I am sure there are many more people out there looking for a product that isn’t real.

I have also made an appointment with an ear-nose-and-throat specialist just to be sure that nothing more serious is going on.

DEAR READER:
I appreciate your concern. However, Lipo-Flavonoid is a real product. It is distributed by DSE Healthcare Solutions, LLC in Edison, NJ.

Lipo-Flavonoid contains bioflavonoids, inositol, calcium, vitamin C and several of the B vitamins. It was created to treat the symptoms of Meniere’s disease (dizziness, ringing in the ears and loss of hearing). Many of my readers with tinnitis (ringing in the ears) or vertigo have had success using the product as well as many with Meniere’s. Like most products, it does not work for everyone.

The product can be purchased at most pharmacies in the ear care aisle. It can also be purchased by phone at 1-800-331-0221 or online at www.dsehealth.com.

To give you related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Ear Infections and Disorders” and “Dr. Gott’s Compelling Home Remedies”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 (per report) to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
