Dizziness / Vertigo

Dizziness can be the result of low blood sugar, which can stem from reactive hypoglycaemia – which means blood sugar swinging up and down in an unstable way. This is usually caused by a high intake of sugar or alcohol, which exhausts the pancreas, causing it to be unable to function efficiently.

The blood sugar rises fast and then swings back down again, and this can cause dizziness, and can be a sign that diabetes could follow unless matters are taken in hand.

A second cause of dizziness can be the organophosphate pesticides (OPs). These can cause epilepsy, and disrupt mental functioning. Where people are severely contaminated it can result in Motor Neuron Disease or Parkinson’s. (See Section on Diabetes also).

It is possible these two hazards are related, as sugar handling requires Manganese, and the OPs disrupt the absorption of Manganese. Hair analysis and a mineral programme can sort this out. A number of medical drugs have dizziness as a side effect. If you are taking anything it is worth checking for side effects on the web.

Some of the commonly used food additives can also cause dizziness. It is worth buying “Find Out” and “Watch It” and looking through them.
