Who diagnosed the Meneires? You really need a good evaluation by an ENT before you know for sure. Best of luck to you my friend

It does not mean they are one iota less qualified or capable to treat patients.

Did you know that the average allopathic physician who attends four years of college, two years of medical school, one year of residency has less than 10 hours of training in nutirition? Did you know that pharmaceutical companies spend MILLIONS of dollars every year for incentives to physicians who write prescriptions for their drugs?

Only in 15 state, in other states anybody can called be a ND.
With no formal education or training.
Chiropractors actually have to go for 3 years to college, and is regulated in all 50 states and territory of the US. So yes all chiropractor do have education.
The incentives that you are talking about are mainly pens and once a month maybe twice for lunch (if you work in a hospital).
And in medical school you take a class of nutrition (at least I did). I little more then 10 hours if you ask me.

You are delusional if you believe all the tripe from the loons who think MD's/PA's/NP's get paid for their prescriptions....
I am waiting also, not for 20 years, only a few years out of residency.
But I really cant believe that this people think that doctors make money by prescriptions, when we actually lose money (printing the damn things cost money ), unless you work for a hospital.
The only thing I get from pharms reps are free lunch twice a month, free pens, and sometimes free samples. THAT IS IT...
No paycheck, no cash money, nothing.

Diabetes is actually curable, but extremely difficult.
High blood pressure again extremely difficult.
Osteoporosis, is not curable, once you have it, you have to prevent getting worse.
Heart disease also difficult
Fibromyalgia, there is no cure.
But when you get an infection don't visit a doctor to get antibiotics, because we don’t cure people, or when you get need surgery, don’t because we don’t cure people. When you have cancer don’t visit your doctor, because we also don’t cure that.
Yeah I guess I have never cured anybody in my profession.

You need either ENT or neurologist.
Naturopaths are jokes.
