It’s amazing, last time I had a vertigo it was 16 years ago, this morning I woke up, I was crying because you feel lost, I started to search on internet and Doctor I found you, I did the exercises, for me it was very violent because I threw up, I took a nap, but it really works, I turned my head left and right, dizziness were gone, doctor you have no idea what you give for me and for everyone who suffers, thank you so much, merci infiniment,

[badmotorcycle]

This is truly a miracle. Had a concussion and vertigo for almost 2 months. Did this procedure only one time and completely cured. Thanks doc.

[rosesimonne]

Thank you, this procedure is very well demonstrated and easy to follow along. I have recurring bppv and could never figure exactly how to perform the manoeuvre until now. I'm happy to report that I'm now vertigo-free and no longer need to schedule an appointment with my doctor. Thank you again, your work is very much appreciated.

[RichMassaJr]

Thank you so much! This was my first vertigo episode, after 3 weeks of narrowing down my issues, I found you video, completed the test and focused on this procedure exactly as you described. After my 4th time I am no longer dizzy!! I'm shocked, it really felt like I was dying at times, but your instructions were extremely helpful. Thank you for posting this!

After months of thinking I had a vestibular condition which was by having cataract surgeries in December 2016 and January 2017. Nobody asked me prior to surgery if I'd ever had an inner ear infection which I discovered while researching my vertigo in May of this year was important to ask. On March 9th of 2017, I flew to Da Nang, Vietnam where I lived for almost two years. I was still recovering from the surgery and it was taking my eyes quite a while to adjust.

Shortly after arriving, we went to a four-story mall and took the elevator to the top floor to the food court for dinner. As we stepped out of the elevator, I began to get dizzy and it felt like my knees were going to give way. I had to hang on to my companion to walk across the large expanse shiny white floor with bright lights above, loud music playing, and people rushing by. It was embarrassing, and I felt totally out of control of my body. Then over time, the issue became less and I was able to go to the mall on my own, but held onto walls and railings as I still felt uneasy.

Years before, in about 1980, I had the worst inner ear infection anyone at the clinic in Boise, ID had ever seen. The onset was waking up at 4 am to use the bathroom with the room spinning like a five-martini binge, yet I hadn't had even a drop of alcohol in my system. The local doctor was befuddled as I had absolutely no equilibrium and would have dropped to the floor if he hadn't been prepared to catch me when he asked me to close my eyes. I was referred to experts who gave me Antivert and the strongest antihistamine on the market at the time. About a month later, I was finally able to walk unassisted and not look like I was drunk when I did.

After returning to the States at the end of January 2019, I didn't notice the problem, though I hardly went anywhere with shiny white floors and bright lights. Then, this past May of 2023, I flew from Portland, Oregon to San Diego, California to spend five days/nights with a friend in Encinitas. After checking my bag at the Alaska counter, I started walking to the terminal gate which seemed to be at least a mile away. Suddenly it hit me, white shiny floor, bright lights, and people rushing by. I was dragging a carry-on and carrying a rather large bag. My knees went weak, I felt disoriented and had to cling to the wall as I was walking like a drunk.

By the time I got to San Diego, I was exhausted, frustrated, and committed to getting wheelchair assistance for my return flight...which I did. I vowed to never embarrass and stress myself like that again. I cannot even begin to express my relief having made that decision, though I can walk just fine at home or in familiar territory with no white or light shiny floors.

Then, the opportunity came up for me to live in a spiritual community for almost six months in Ajijic, Mexico. I had little time to think about it, as I needed to act on it right away. I decided to go and got my plane tickets complete with wheelchair assistance in Portland, Los Angeles, and Guadalajara. Prior to leaving Oregon, I went to the bank to pick up the pesos I'd ordered. Lo and behold, white shiny floors and nobody to hold me up. I ambled across the floor hoping nobody would take me for a drunk.

I've been here in Ajijic for almost two months and my vertigo getting worse again as my vision takes time to adjust as I have to look down so as not to trip on cobblestones or uneven or slanted sidewalks, or not step in dog poop. Finally, I told a group of friends about my frustrating condition that has kept me from enjoying life here and doing activities that are no longer comfortable. One of the women told me she'd had vertigo and went to a chiropractor here who did the Epley maneuver, but that it was possible to do it myself. She said I might give it a try and see if it would work. Well, guess what? It did. After years of discomfort and embarrassment, a five-minute procedure has set me free. I used this video and I'm finally feeling like myself again. WHEW! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Tad-For-Global-Peace]

Ty for reminding ppl not to give up if it no work after the first time. This is important and so generous of you bc ppl Lose hope if it no work after first time. So so so great you advise us to try a number of rounds. You are an angel.☮️☮️

[digitalkmultimedia]

Thank you Sir! I tried this about 4 times in a row. Yes, I vomitted twice but was prepared in advance. It's been 3 hrs since and I almost have zero symptoms now. I can't than you enough for making this video. Bravo. Outstanding.

[tomhughesma]

First, thank you for this clear and helpful demonstration. It worked for me. I think I got the BPPV from my dentist visit that day. I woke up at night to get up and fell immediately back down into bed with the room spinning. I think the cause at the dentist was my head being tilted right for about 45 minutes while the dental assistant used a powered descaler which caused vibrations. I believe the vibration caused the crystals to reposition, causing the BPPV. Again, thanks so much for this. I was really suffering.

[wedontgoravenholm]

Day 2 of epley maneuver and my vertigo is gone . Still a lil light headed but I can sleep on either side without spinning. It really works! I suffered for 3 weeks it was so debilitating as I had to work. But glad I caught this video. Because it saved me ❤❤🎉🎉. If you ever get diagnosed with bppv do this maneuver… it’s life changing!! Thanks to Dr. Saunders.

This video was a lifesaver for me today. I had my first vertigo outburst a week ago (didn't even know exactly what it is). The next one this morning. I did the suggested test and performed the Epley on both sides. After doing it 7x on my left side, 3x times on my right and 2x severe vomiting the "miracle occured". :) Just want to mention thinking back, there were signs of vertigo for a while, like blocking sensation in my ears, little discomfort now and then, but major discomfort many times while using the air pods, which II use almost everyday while commuting (until now that is). My suspicion is that's what caused or triggered vertigo in my case. THANK YOU SO MUCH Dr.Jon Saunders

[dianawallis]

Oh my goodness this really works. 🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much for sharing this video. I woke this morning with severe dizziness and vomiting but after 6 attempts with this manoeuvre I’m completely fine.

I’m 69 yrs old and had this about 15 years ago when it took almost 2 weeks to recover naturally. My doctor only prescribed anti nausea medication. I’m currently in travelling alone around Australia in my Motorhome so you can imagine what a problem this could have been for me. 🙏😍

[evikapa]

I have vertigo 2 years. Pills do nothing. Thank you Very much!!! I am grateful 🙏

[kenw]

Thank you, the hosp did nothing to help me, my first experience, after a CT scan & bloodwork, said vertigo. & discharged me, no advice whatsoever, & suffered 2 days till I came here & one e exercise I feel so much better and safe

[chazaqs]

It boggles my mind how many MDs are absolutely clueless about BPPV and what to do about it. My wife is a DC and has had to do this with many people AFTER they had already been in to see MDs putting them through all kinds of tests.

[kjag]

Thank you for the video. I woke up the other day and almost fell out of bed with vertigo. I had multiple vertigo experiences over the next couple days. Until i used your stretches. I can't believe this worked. I had to do it twice and have not had vertigo since

[johnwaldron]

Hi 12 years ago I got out of bed to go to work and immediately collapsed to the ground, I was diagnosed with viral labyrinthitis and I had to attend a balance clinic, I rarely but the odd occasion have to do the epley manoeuvre on myself, it does work. I have acne in my ear canals so I don’t lose the wax in my ears like you normally would as the skin particles mix with the wax, I’m essentially making my own form of concrete and every couple of years have my ears syringed. I treat my acne with 1% steroid cream, recently after having my ears syringed I started getting giddy and light headed, I worked out myself why this was it was the steroid cream because usually when I apply the cream I have wax in my ears but this time there was no wax and the cream had gone further down into my ear canals, I stopped applying the cream and the dizziness disappeared after 24 hours. I thought I would tell you this as it could be another reason why one of your patients get dizziness. Hope this helps someone out there.

[mannygulliver]
