Abstract

Objective: A case study on improvement of Meniere's Disease through Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT). Methods: A Korean female in her 40s was incapable of daily living activities due to severe Ménière's Disease symptoms. OCNT was applied and the degree of symptoms was tracked. Results: Symptoms of Ménière's disease including headache and dizziness were improved after administering OCNT over approximately 4 months. Conclusion: Administering OCNT may help alleviate symptoms of patients suffering difficulty in daily life due to Ménière's Disease.
