vertigo and vitamin D

My wife suffered for months from daily bouts of extreme vertigo then after taking vitamin D daily it has all stopped.She told her GP in Michigan n she was scoffed at.She continues to take the vitamin n we know it works.Why are members of the medical profession in USA so inclined to scoff.

Glad to hear your wife is feeling better. Can you tell me how long it took for the  Vertigo to leave ? I have been light headed for 3 yrs and recently was diagnosed with Vit D deficiency. I was at 15 and a month later I am at 50.

"When it comes to the effectiveness of simple vitamins and minerals at curing diseases, many ill-informed doctors still scoff at the idea, citing studies that allegedly verify that vitamins are ineffective." - Dr Bernard Willis.

"Vitamin D deficiency and low calcium levels in the ear can lead to inner ear dysfunction that includes hearing loss, tinnitus or vertigo, according to an article about “Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Vertigo,” by Texas physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, Katherine Blanchette M.D., author of “Prevention of the Disease of Aging”." - Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms & Vertigo
