I just spent two weeks with dizziness and spinning episodes. After a telemedicine appointment, 10 days of amoxicillin, an urgent care visit, 8 hours in the ER with blood work, Cat Scan, IV, EKG, BP tests and medication I found out I have vertigo. This video was recommended to me. Last night I did this maneuver twice for my right ear. It was a scary spinning in most positions. This morning I did it twice for my left ear. Spinning again. Two more times both right and left in 15 min intervals and the spinning stopped. It worked! Took a few attempts for me but I am so grateful to have found this.

The most important thing about this video, more than the actual treatment, is that the doctor wants to help people to do it on their own instead of seeing more patients and making more money.
Bravo, doctor. Thank you for sincerely helping people who need it. ❤️

I can not believe I suffered for months, till I finally went to YouTube. This has changed my life. I could actually get up and cook for my family today!

I feel like this video saved my sanity and my family! I was sick for 2 weeks, went to the ER, got misdiagnosed, went to two more doctors, and was finally directed here. I was waking up every morning spinning, which eventually led to nausea, complete loss of appetite, anxiety attacks every day, and a lot of mental wear and tear on my husband and kids. They couldn't stand seeing me be so miserable and scared day after day. Then my doctor showed me this video, I did the exercise one night before bed to treat my left ear, and again in the morning to treat the right, and woke up today feeling perfectly normal! I could truly not be more grateful!!

Hmmm after 15 years of suffering Vertigo, trying all herbal and local medications, taking antihistamines just to stop it, this is all I needed. I sometimes wake up in the middle of my sleep with spins that make me cry. Thank you so much Doctor. May God bless you for sharing this freely. I don’t know what to say. Am fine now am fine 😭😭😭😭😭

Just wanted to say thank you, you cured me. I am a pilot and it could have been the end of my flying. I am so grateful to you. I also had a friends daughter that got vertigo, I passed it on to her and she now is cured also. You are a true benefit to your profession.

Omg!! I am in Florida, escaping the terrible winter of 2023 and I woke up to a spinning room, unable to even walk to the bathroom. A friend told me to check YouTube for exercises and I found this. It’s about 20 minutes since I did them (both sides) and I’m sitting here thinking I might be able to salvage our vacation after all. What a godsend!! Thank you.

For those that like detail and clarity, this is for you.
I had a sinus cold at the beginning of January this year for about a week which had left me with some sinus irratation for about 2 weeks afterwards. Then I woke up a week ago on a Saturday morning and turned my head to look at my alarm clock and the world started spinning. This was followed by a cold sweat and nausea and I thought I was going to throw up.
I dealt with it for 5 days with the worst moments being at night when I was trying to sleep. I saw my doctor yesterday and she recommended this video.
That evening I layed down and turned my head both to the right and to the left and found that it was only when I turned my head to the right that the spinning began, so I followed the movements to treat my right ear only.
My first go was rough and I did have to throw up after.
I found that the first movement of tilting the head back definitely got the spinning started. I waited until it calmed down before tucking my head to the floor. I don't know if it's critical, but when I first tried this, I had turned my head too far (almost completely to the right... 90 degrees) but one one of my later tries after realising I was doing it incorrectly I stuck to the 45 degree angle.
I had no issues with dizziness or spinning while my head was tucked to the floor, however when I brought it up to hold my head and back parallel to the floor that is when the world spun A LOT. It did slow down and stop. This was consistent with every time I tried it and I did feel dreadful and nauseous from this point on each time.
I will also say that on my final try, I also held each pose for 30-60 seconds (not 15-30)
The last movement where I kept my head at 45 degrees and sat upright never involved any spinning, however I always held that position for 30-60 seconds as well.
This morning, I will say that the region around my right ear has been aching and is currently still aching a bit. It's not terrible or unbearable, however around 11:00am I noticed that I hadn't been having any dizzy spells. I was extremely curious, so I locked myself in my office at work and went through all of the movements (ridiculous I know) to test where I was at and I had no spinning or dizziness. So! Currently it's working! So grateful!

I could cry. I woke up today, christmas eve, with terrible vertigo. I was so upset that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the holiday and then I found this video. I've done it twice and my dizziness is not 100% gone but it's subsided enough that I can cook dinner and play games with the family. Thank you!

Couldn’t appreciate enough, a doctor trying to provide patients with tools ahead and empowering them. Rarity these days. Kudos ma’m.

[acherem]

As a USA health provider I just want to say thank you. For the past 2 years I have sent this video to all my patients who I suspect have vertigo and they really appreciate having a way to fix this at home.

Your work has truly helped many and aided in decreasing the stress to our overloaded Emergency medical systems.

After almost 4 weeks of suffering my chiropractor showed me this video and on the same day I was healed! I thank God you took the time to find treatment and share it with the world! 🙏🙌

[misterowlmedia]

This has literally saved me. I cannot tell you how long I have dealt with random onsets of horrible vertigo. I can be sitting at my desk, then all of sudden terrible pressure and unless I keep my head perfectly still, I will fall over. I do this maneuver twice and I am back to normal. It is a mother freaking miracle!! If you are afraid of getting sick because of the vertigo during the maneuvers, just breath in and out slowly through your mouth during the “spinning” and you will be fine. The seconds of the spinning go by quickly if you are breathing properly. Also focus on something unmoving in the room like a chair or desk or whatever and remember to blink. Do not close your eyes, I’ve found that makes the nausea worse. Thanks so much!!! Lifesaver!!!!

Had vertigo for the first time yesterday, couldn’t believe how sick I felt and how scary it was. Found this video, did it 3 times last night in between vomiting. Woke up this morning to no more spinning. Thankyou 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[ms.pineapple]

I promise, this video saved my life 9 years ago. I had never had it before. I googled my symptoms. I found this video and it fixed it. She's a blessing. Thank you for this video. I come back every now and then when I get spells. Thank you ❤

[Alicia-dbne]

I experienced severe vertigo this morning for a few hours. Nausea, couldn't walk straight, room was spinning. I did this about 7 different times between both ears and unreal it is gone. I feel 95% better from an hour ago. Unbelievable how easily this worked- thank you!!

[bellamama]

I was helpless for 3 days, honestly I don’t even know what my children ate. Even worse, no health insurance. A friend sent me this video and in a week I was completely fine.
My words can’t express my gratitude for this sweet doctor, who I’m pretty sure had no need to make this video but she did.
May the Lord Almighty bless you and your family!!!

After seeing my doctor to get a diagnosis, I researched several articles about treatment. This seemed the easiest for a 78 year old to do unassisted. Just one time cured 3 weeks of vertigo. Thanks Dr Foster.

[GreenBananaz]

I swear this lady Is a true lifesaver! I suffer with vertigo every few months It flares up, sometimes worse that others but I do this exercise & It never fails me. The relief when the spinning stops feels like a wave of calm coming over me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ❤️

[shirleyberthelot]

I SWEAR by this exercise. She's saved my life as far as I'm concerned.. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.❤❤❤
