Q: My mom has been suffering from vertigo the past two years. Is there any help? We love your books and believe in treating the entire body rather than the symptoms alone. Is there any alternative? She has the type of vertigo that is triggered by a certain positioning of the head or sudden movements.
A: I would start with a strict Zone Diet to reduce insulin levels and therefore arachidonic acid levels. After 30 days, try adding about 2.5 grams of EPA and DHA to dilute out any excess arachidonic acid that may be the underlying cause.
