This is a book review of Michael Spencer’s brilliant book on dealing with Meniere’s disease. Have you ever gone to your family physician with a dizziness or vertigo problem and been sent from one doctor to another, one test to another, and then only to be told there is no cure? There is nothing to be done? That you have to live with this unpredictable set of balance symptoms? Sadly, you and millions of others have had the same experience.
At last here is a way out of all of that;
I commend Mike Spencer for having created a very comprehensive, easy to read, and easy to understand resource for any Meniere’s disease sufferer. This book outlines so much science that doctors either do not know or chose not to share.
Frankly, I think it should be required reading for every Primary Care Physician (PCP), ENT, and Audiologist world-wide. They would quickly change their protocols to provide a more positive, hopeful, and healthier environment for everyone. No longer would you be told to live with this condition, that there is no cure. That is wrong and you deserve better advice.
However, we know from years of trying to change their outlook, that the medical community as a whole, will probably not consider anything other than their own perspective.
Luckily for you, in The Need for Balance, Mike has presented the results of many medical research studies that show the physiological reasons of your Meniere’s disease symptoms. You even get to read about the actual tests and their results.
Backed by medical study results, you can now feel confident relying on this information that you may not have had access to before.
If you have ever wondered why you get dizzy, or why you are told to do things or told not to do certain things, here is knowledge many doctors could not give you.
Hasn’t that been very frustrating?
This objective scientific advice allows you to relax your concerns and get those frustrating (tormenting) questions answered.
And don’t you love reading other people’s experiences? I do. Reading these interesting testimonials and comments paints a very clear and possible picture of a happier future. It’s so good to know you are not the only one having these problems and not getting trustworthy information.
Mike’s personal experiences are shared throughout the book. You quickly recognize he knows what it’s like to live with, and then without, balance symptoms. It’s so helpful to read “before” and “after” examples. These are so insightful, so encouraging, so hopeful!
The best part is to know that there is something now you can do to help yourself.
Michael has made the book very easy to read so that you can extract the most helpful ideas for your own situation.
We know no one has the exact same experiences: similar, yes. So, for now, look after yourself…only.
I suggest you read it through once all the way just to get a feel for the valuable information that is now at your fingertips.
Print it out if possible. It’s far more relaxing to read it this way. Punch holes into it and put it into a binder. I know it’s 300+ pages of very useful information, but consider it a valuable resource to be looked at over and over. This information is too valuable to stash away on a shelf.
Mike presents a clear trustworthy picture with many resources. As you read, make notes. (I love it when I get a book with page numbers included!) Then go back for a second reading. Mike has very helpfully linked the Table of Contents. That makes it so much easier to retrieve relevant information quickly.
I want you to learn how to look after yourself and your balance symptoms. Here, Mike has provided you with a very practical way to help yourself.
My own goal for you, the Meniere’s disease sufferer, has been to show that you do NOT have to live like this. Mike provides you very clear information of what changes to make, why you may want to make them, and how to move safely and confidently into health and wellness. With all this scientific background information, it’s possible to tie it all together.
