I wonder if you have fluid pooling in your ears? That can cause dizziness.

Autumn: This could be a case of high level toxic metals entering the bloodstream, landing in the liver, and excreted in the duodenum (causing the nausea). I would advise to order an online heavy metal test kit. If this is indeed the case, there are safe and natural methods for removal found here on E.C.

It could be your inner ear. I've had dizzy spells for 35 years. Go to the Dr.to rule out anything serious. If it is your inner ear try the EPLEY exercises. You can find them on you tube.

You tube the Epley maneuver. It helped me with dizziness

Put a night light in your room and when you wake up dizzy focus on something in the room and your dizziness will go away.

Hello Autumn:

Re; Dizziness while sleeping...

Other posters have made good suggestions. Let me ask a few follow up questions; Are you having any other symptoms? And how long have you been experiencing this? Was there any trigger to it when you first started experiencing this? And is there a trigger now?

I'm trying to get to anything underlying that Posters can get a handle on. I'm always on the search for a virus as an underlying problem...in inner ear for instance, so I'd look for an original trigger such as a sinus infection and hence my way of dealing with that, if indeed it was the trigger, would be to kill the virus. Otherwise the cause continues to operate.

But a virus/fungus etc cause may not be the cause in your case.

Still go back to beginnings. Did you have any ear/sinus problem pre dating the onset to your dizziness? If so, then I assure you with a high degree of certainty that the cause is viral and the problem will remain until you irrigate your system with a virus killer...like Colloidal Silver or MMS or Echinacea/ Tea Tree Oil/ etc.

Thank you all for all of the great suggestions!!

Dave, to answer some of your questions, this has happened 3x in the past 6 months, all while sleeping. I actually had a ruptured eardrum after a double ear infection back in Jan 2013. Since then, I have not had any ear infections but I do have significant scarring in my ears from when I was a child.

I looked online for this as well and saw where it could be crystals that formed behind my eardrum that may be doing this when I am lying on one side too long. I am not sure but that could be the issue.

I also am thinking it could be from dehydration as well. I do NOT drink enough water at all but I am trying to now since I started taking food grade DE a few days ago for other reasons.

Yesterday, after the episode from the night before, I was very dizzy for the whole day and am still today but no where near as bad. I slept elevated last night to hopefully help it not happen again and drink plenty of water yesterday to help. I think drinking water did help some as well. I will be drinking plenty of water today for sure.

I am also going to try out the Epley Maneuver to see if that might help, since I have read online that this may help with the crystal that may be behind the eardrum.

Timh, I have 2 VERY small silver fillings, each of them are about as big as a grain of rice, and have been wondering if taking DE will cause issues with the mercury in those to affect me in some way with the heavy metals? Would you have any insight on that please?

I truly appreciate the help and any other suggestions would be great. Thank you so much!!!

Hello Autumn,

Follow up to your second Post.

OK. Re your second Post...I mentioned in my first Post that if you had some significant sinus or ear issue which immediately preceded the onset of your symptoms then I could say with a lot of certainty that the cause was viral/fungal.

And you say you had an infection significant enough to cause a ruptured eardrum. Plus there was some issue with scarring when you were a child. Maybe a lingering ear weakness or even residual virus?

Well, to kill a virus....in my opinion...if this were me, I'd do a lot of Colloidal Silver irrigation, and the Eustachian Tube will carry to inner ear...enough CS after numerous sinus irrigations to kill the virus.

I'd also use a dropper to get some CS into outer ear.

I'd also be consuming orally two tablespoons twice daily on empty stomach for three months in case this infection has become systemic.

The use of CS into sinuses (using an ear syringe) gently squeezed and then head back to let drain into back of sinus and down throat... will, if sinus is infected, produce some stinging in sinus if they are infected. Usually more stinging on one side than the other. Irrigation must be repeated twenty or thirty times to make sure virus is gone.

If the infection is systemic, after consumption of CS over a week, energy levels become stronger. And, if this is working the dizziness will decrease in intensity and frequency after three or four weeks, finally disappearing after a few months. Time will have to rebuild damages nerves (also Calcium AEP will be of great benefit). Google "nutrition review calcium AEP".

But much faster if this is an "early" infection. However, the fact that you had issues when you were a child leads me to believe this condition may be long lasting.

Caveat: I am assuming that the condition is only in the early stages and only localized to the inner ear. But if the condition was begun in your youth (which you allude to) then some infection could be in the Temporal Lobe of the brain. And so if the CS irrigations are ineffective but you see SOME improvement, but not cured, then likely the infection is in "inferior" portion of Temporal Lobe. Look all this up on Wikipedia. A different protocol to get CS to Temporal Lobe.

Let's hope not.

If this theory expressed above makes sense to you by all means discuss this with your specialist MD. Your MD may have some insights on this that exceed my NON medical experience.

I know this is frightening to you but believe that there is a practical and workable solution.

By the way, any CS you buy should be able to knock out a sore throat. Lots of CS companies claim theirs is "super duper" tiny and better than anyone else. OK...but does it get rid of a sinus infection or a sore throat. I make my own and you may want to get a little unit to make your own. Cheap and simple to do.

Bless you Autumn. (I lived the first three years of my life in Louisville. Dad was in Seminary there.)

To Dave from Fountain Inn, SC. Hi Dave I always follow your posts with great interest and after many months have finally decided to try colloidal silver for a similar ear issue as autumn. If we were to start out on the 2T. twice daily I can't help but think this is going to bring on one AWFUL herx issue. What ppm silver are you suggesting? I would also be interested in knowing more about temporal lobe you talk of. Thanks and I do appreciate your helpful posts.

Hey Cindy/ USA,

Re: CS consumption re Temporal Lobe issues

I'm guessing that the herx effect is possible if the "kill off" is great and hence toxic. Just never ran across herx as some talk about it on EC.

So, to be safe and alleviate your concerns, if me, I'd take ONE tablespoon and gradually increase over a month.

How's that for a nice compromise?

I use a high ppm; so the paradox with a high ppm (given your concerns) is that a high ppm would give a high herx effect, would it not? Again, I've never had or seen the effect. But it would make sense. The cases I've seen, just haven't observed the herx effect. Just a theory here ... could the silver be acting as a cleaning element and somehow not allowing debris to accumulate? You've really raised a good question. For the longest time I tried to understand how CS did not destroy beneficial bacteria and then a Live Cell Microscopy expert (trained extensively), explained to me the CS charge is "positive" as is beneficial bacteria whereas deleterious bacteria has a negative charge.

Maybe the "herx" question (why doesn't CS produce such an effect) has a good answer too.

Your other question about Temporal Lobe is where the focus of auditory issues reside. Look at a chart on google (of the brain of course) and zoom in; much action in the TL. And the Inferior portion is where it appears virus can cause havoc.

Now remember my theory (you kindly stated you've been reading my Posts...sorry if they appear relentless)...but I focus on two sources for a problem, like the ear issue that have appeared in the past week on EC. The infection might just be in the inner ear and that causes some symptom. AND/OR, the virus/fungus might have ridden the nerve superhighway right into the brain. For the former much less invasive problem, an irrigation might be the solution but if the virus has bypassed the blood/brain barrier and has invaded the brain (Temporal Lobe, for instance), I suggest that IF ME I'd use a poultice. I have done so myself; I mix DMSO with CS, fifty/fifty and apply to back of neck. Multiple applications and if I see an improvement after a few applications I continue for another dozen and so forth. I keep a journal. I talk to a knowing MD to get his oversight. Before this protocol I see if the MD has any ideas as to treat a virus in the Brain...and can he/she help confirm or disaffirm such a reasoned theory. (Such theory is based on the prior medical history.)

Well, hopefully, the infection (if the theory is correct) can be eliminated by a simple series of CS irrigations. Keep track of energy levels. Over and over I've seen increase in energy after a week or two and that in my mind confirms infection is being eliminated. The road to recover is underway.

Best to you. Keep me informed on how your road is being traveled.

Thank you Dave, for ALL of your help with this. You just may be my life saver!!!

I will definitely get some Colloidal Silver ASAP. May I ask which brand or brands that you think are better. I went to amazon to order some but with so many selections and not knowing much about it, it would help to have somewhere to start. If not, I completely understand. I may try to make my own later on though, but I would like to get this treatment started soon.

I am hoping that it is not further along and in my Temporal lobe. I have always had slight dizzy spells since I was younger, due to fluid build up in my ears but nothing like what is going on lately since the ruptured ear drum.

I truly appreciate ALL of your help on here. I am so happy that I have found this site with people like you who are so willing to really help others out. Plus, since you are originally from KY and I assume, grew up in SC, you must be a great person. :) Thank you so very much!!

I may be back to ask more questions about this later but either way, I will definitely write an update on how it went.

Dave, I just read your main story on Colloidal Silver and saw where you said to Google affordable generators. I went ahead and ordered one for myself. I know it can't hurt to have one so that I can use the CS as often as needed. It also helps the headache of trying to find the best brand as well. I will start taking the CS as soon as I get a batch made. I truly hope this helps with my dizziness among other issues I am having.

Do you mind if I ask you if you think that using the Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth while taking the CS will be okay? I am taking 2 tsp daily of the DE and am on my 6th day. I just don't want to OVER DO it by taking too many things at once.

Once again, Thank you and everyone else so much for your help!!!

Hey Autumn;

Re CS etc.

Oh, by all means continue taking the DE. The Silver and DE won't interact negatively. But just separate when you consume each by a few hours. I had been told that minerals could compete with the receptor site at the cellular level if Silver was simultaneously taken with minerals.

AND you are getting your OWN generator. YES!!!

A few words on that: I use 20 or so grains of salt in 2 cups of heated water (about 90 degrees) to give conductivity to my purified water. As soon as I drop the silver strands into the heated water, I see a fine white mist beginning to disperse in the clear water. After 30 seconds I use a wooden spoon to gently stir the water to disperse the cloud better. In 4 or 5 minutes (if batteries are strong) I take out the silver strands and the mix is then dense with the white cloud (silver ions and silver particles). I then DILUTE with purified water by at least 20 cups of water or more so that no cloud is apparent and no taste of silver is apparent...but you know that silver is in the mixture, because you made it and saw the cloud of silver prior to dilution. I often will used the concentrate...over 1, 000 ppm. But the dilution will work.

Now there is ANOTHER group of CS makers who do not want to add any salt at all for conductivity They just let the silver strands sit for 30 minutes and what is produced is a different color in the water.

I've used the former method for 20 years with great success. You might experiment with both methods and determine if there is a difference. But just to let you know, there are two different "camps" who make the CS. The latter group believe their silver solution produces smaller particles than the former (fast method as I call it). Maybe true; but I have read at least one very good article that argues the larger size particle is better than the smaller particles.

I also had one experience where someone convinced me to try the slower made silver on my chronic sinus problem (I think allergy induced) and during the time I was irrigating with the "super stuff" I actually developed a sinus infection!!!!! After two days of the infection growing in intensity I switched to my old "fast made" solution and "bam" the infection was gone with ONE application....I threw away the "super duper" stuff and since then am critical of the supposed superiority of the "slow" method.

But come to your own conclusion. Let me know what happens. I'm certainly here for you to discuss anything that arises.

Hi Dave, Thanks for all the information. Do you do the irrigation with straight silver or diluted? Your help is appreciated. I may have more questions yet.

Hi again Cindy,

Re; What concentration to perform irrigation of Colloidal Silver.

After making a two cup container of CS, I dilute over 20 times (as I discussed in previous posts). The "diluted" is still strong at about 100 to 200 ppm. And THAT is considered very strong...so just because it's diluted does not mean it has a low ppm value. Some commercial CS has 5 ppm.

You'll find out with experience what levels work best. I often use the full strength CS...the original two cups diluted by about 5 times. But I'd have no problem using the more diluted and often use that also.

This is for Dave or anyone who make their own Colloidal Silver. I will be getting my CS Generator today and I cannot wait to get started with it. I just have a question as to how long AFTER I make it, can I take it? Does it need to sit for a while after it is made or can I take it right away? Thanks again for any help!!! I am really excited now & I hope this will get rid of my chronic Sinus infections and the dizziness I have been having. **Knock on wood, it only happened 2x this week & hasn't came back in a few days now**

Dave,

Do you use regular iodized table salt for your 20 grains of salt? I have too many salt options in my house. :) table salt, Realsalt, Celtic Sea Salt. The Sea Salt grains are much bigger than table salt. Just want to make sure I use the right thing when I make it.

Thanks!

Hello Mama to Many;

Re: what to use for conductivity

I've used any salt...and one could use any bit of mineral...such as a tiny bit of mag sulfate for instance.

your friend,

To Autumn:

CS generation:

RE: When to start taking after generation... Like start within ten seconds! It's ready instantly...those neat little silver ions/particles are just waiting to kill off viruses/ fungi/ bacteria. So as soon as you dilute to your satisfaction start up. I actually believe that the fresher the solution, the more potent.

I'm very proud of you, brave lady. You're going to have a hundred stories in a year or two. Welcome to the world of Silver making.

To both Autumn and Cindy,

As I discussed with Cindy in this thread, IF the infection (assuming virus) goes deeper than the ears and is in the TL of the Brain; then remember to get the CS to the Brain I must use DMSO in a 50/50 mix. I'd hope the situation would be helped/cured by irrigation of sinuses (repeated) to get to Eustachian tubes and into inner ear. IF that is not sufficient, but helps, then the problem may be Temporal Lobe.

THEN I'd use the poultice of the MIX...DMSO to transport CS. Back of neck...repeated applications. But first try the simple irrigation. Only if insufficient would I go to poultice.

Again; this is what I would do. I don't recommend or diagnose. And I've recommended to always talk to MD to discuss options.

I just wanted to give an update on my CS making & taking. I wanted to wait a couple of days before, to see what, if anything, changed.

I finally got my CS Generator on Saturday and immediately made a batch of CS. I had also purchased a set of Amber & Cobalt Blue Glass bottles for various uses for storage.

One was a nasal spray bottle which I am now using daily. I have not actually ingested any by mouth yet but plan to soon. I just wanted to see how it did in my nose first and I noticed that my nose is much clearer now since starting to put it in my nose. I don't have to 'Sniff/Snort' it up since I can put the nasal sprayer pretty far up my nasal cavity and inhale it enough to get it down my throat. I actually probably need to use it more than I do and I am making an effort to do that.

I noticed today that my nose is clearer & I am breathing much better through my nose. I used to have to blow my nose & make horrible noises to be able to breathe at times but not anymore - so far - which is great!!

Today for some reason (not sure if it has anything to do with the CS, or if it is my Chronic Sinus Infection moving around) but the left side of the back of my neck if very stiff today. It wasn't from sleeping because it didn't start until this afternoon. Not sure if this could be anything or not but I am still using the nasal spray.

I plan to start taking some by mouth later today though. I know I need to be more aggressive in my approach with the issues I have been having (explained above). I just hope this keeps helping but I have started out slowly as I do with most 'new' things, to see how it will effect me personally.

I almost forgot too, I sprayed some on a spot on my knee that I believe was either a series of bug bites or a small patch of poison ivy (not sure) but it was itching horribly for a couple of weeks and after spraying the CS on it, it stopped itching & the next day it was dried up. So far so good.

I will continue to use CS and see where it takes me. I will update again soon too!! Thanks Dave for all of your help & insight too. Any other advice from you & anyone else is still appreciated!! Thank you!!

~Autumn

Hello Autumn;

Congratulations on a good Colloidal Silver start.

On the neck issue...well, it's never happened to me nor have I ever heard of it as you described. Is it possible that the CS spraying is related? Might be. If you were holding your head at a low angle and then sprayed and you then quickly turned your head up and assuming you did that a few times...well, could you have slightly sprained your neck?

I've had lots of neck and low back issues over the DECADES...starting as a teen. So I know (having an S curve as well as C-5 fusion...genetic) that small actions can have consequences. I even have to sleep with my head at a particular angle...tilted up. I've gone to a million chiropractors and learned lots of chiropractic techniques (pressure points being my favorite).

My point is; what you describe you were doing could, in theory, strain a muscle or pinch a nerve. Just a guess.

d

Dave, I think you are right on the money there. I am pretty sure I pulled something in my neck from the day before possibly. After having the pain for a while, I figured it had absolutely nothing to do with the CS.

I am still taking it daily in my nose but I keep forgetting to take it internally for some reason. I guess between taking the DE daily & the CS daily, I am forgetting to take both since I should take them each a couple of hours apart. I am going to have to make a real effort to take the CS by mouth. I am so busy lately that I forget. :(

Is there any way for me to find out the ppm's of what I made since I do not have a TDM (I think that is what it is) or a laser light either. I was wondering about that so I know how much I am actually ingesting when I do take it orally.

Thanks again for all of your help!!

Yes, this is exactly what is happening to me. Every night. Meclizine and Diazepam(not together) sometime help a little, but it still wakes me up and I only get 3-4 sleep hours. Need help!

Hello Sam:

Re your post placed under Colloidal Silver Thread...

The headline your question was put under looks like it is a question to me, but in reading through the thread, I'm not sure of that.

If you had a Colloidal Silver question I'd be glad to try to answer if you had one for me. Just restate your question. If not, no worries.

About sleep issues...I definitely can't help with that. My sleep patterns have been badly interrupted over the past few years and I haven't been able to get back to a good sleep rhythm since. I've tried lots of things and next on my list is liquid melatonin.
