I have just started treating a patient for this syndrome. Hopefully this is fair use- Sheid's book is awesome- filled with not just ideas but instructive and perhaps myth- shattering examples of modern CM... so I'd say get it! Bob Flaws reviewed it on the Pulse website, too... check the practitioners' page. Meniere's Dz treated by Professor Zhu: He believes 80% of Meniere's pts have a consistent CM pattern of disharmony; phlegm or wind as pathogenic qi and impaired fxs of liver or GB... disordered ascending and descending involving jueyin and yangming, liver-stomach disharmony... and he integrates the biomedical knowledge of the inner ear involvement, linking phlegm to fluid dysfunction in the endolymphatic system.. he argues that this phlegm that causes dizziness, described as intangible by CM is actually tangible phlegm in the inner ear. He uses biomed knowledge to affirm and strengthen CM. Rx: dai zhe shi, xiakucao, huangqin, fuling, banxia, tiannanxing, quanggualou,cheqianzi actions: directs qi downward by regulating jueyin and yangming, transforms phlegm hx antecedants: erchen tang, daotan tang principles: reg upbearing and sending downward of qi, to treat phlegm first treat qi, without damp phlegm does not arise, use of diuretics, drugs entering liver, Zhu's personal experience...

In my patient, there was most definitely a liver-stomach disharmony, as the most recent episode of dizziness was brought on by overeating and overdrinking alcohol, along with a stressful new job and a fair amount of anger and stress. I have already been to Redwing to look at Scheid's book. Thanks again.
