INTRODUCTORY LETTER

 

My name is Bill Henshall and this is my story.

Late in 2010, after hearing about the Dutch maestro Andre Rieu’s vertigo 

condition, I sent him a letter together with a number of exercises that I felt 

may assist his return to full health.   Andre put the exercises to good use
and proceeded to make remarkable recovery. For more information,

Some five years ago, I suffered a debilitating bout of vertigo.  My doctor, who 

diagnosed my condition as a viral infection of the inner ear, resulting in vertigo, 

immediately referred me to a vestibular therapist.This condition caused 

considerable balance and equilibrium problems.  I could walk in a straight line, 

but any rotational movement of the head, peripheral movement  or sudden 

activity, would almost certainly cause me to lose balance and at times make me 

feel nauseous if not outright ill.  Riding my bike or driving the car was completely 

out of the question.  Not to over state the case, I was a bit of a mess.

The therapist told me there was no ready made treatment that would guarantee 

my being cured of the condition but suggested I try a number of exercises 

as a possible solution.  I asked myself;

 

    “DID I WANT TO LIVE WITH THIS CONDITION 

                    FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?

                                        AND

         WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?”

Obviously I wanted to regain my health so I decided to give the exercises a go.

Approximately 6 to 8 weeks after commencing these and a number of

                home grown exercises, I was completely free of all 

                         symptoms, with my health fully restored... 

                                 no medication whatsoever!

For me, these exercises changed my life and prompted me to share my 

experience with others.  Also, the overwhelming positive response to the 

publicity surrounding the return of Andre Rieu to the concert circuit is 

now even greater reason for me to share these exercises with as many 

people as possible.

Should you wish to use these exercises, I strongly 

recommend that firstly you seek advice from your 

own doctor or therapist before commencing the 

program!  I am not associated with the medical 

industry in any way whatsoever and therefore have 

no vested interest in suggesting you adopt this 

course of action should you wish to do so. 

Further, I make no claim that these exercises will 

help you with your condition or will in fact, cure 

your condition.  I report only from personal 

experience and the results I achieved by 

doing the exercises.

 I was offered no guarantee, as I make none to you. All I can say is that if the 

exercises work for you as they did for me, a new person will emerge, mostly 

if not completely free, of this debilitating condition. 

Preparation for the exercises

I would do the exercises three times a day, morning-noon-evening.

To begin with, become comfortable with exercises 1 to 6 (set 1), 

particularly numbers 5 & 6, the figure of eight, before tackling the 

exercises in set 2.   Also, some people may not be able to carry

out the exercises in set 3 for physical or for safety reasons.

  

I FOUND, THAT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO DO EACH EXERCISE 

      IN A MEASURED AND CONTROLLEDWAY AND PROGRESS 

              STEADILY THROUGH EACH SET, RATHER THAN 

                  RUSH THROUGH THEM AND NOT ACHIEVE 

                                      THE DESIRED RESULT.

In spite of at times, the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness and nausea that might rise, 

particularly with exercises 1 to 4, I found it important to keep persisting, until the 

self induced symptoms gradually receded.  The steadier I became, just made me 

more determined to continue exercising and get on top of this physical and 

confidence sapping condition. 

Progressing further through the exercises, it became increasingly clear to me the 

importance of the first six exercises. It was these exercises that laid the 

foundation for the remainder of the program. Prior to commencing, I would like 

to bring to your attention what I believe to be three very important elements that 

should stay with you as you work your way through the program.  Whilst these 

elements hold true for all of the exercises, I placed particular importance on them 

for the entire first set i.e. exercises 1 to 6.

1.     PERSIST: - In spite of possible initial discomfort of dizziness and 

      nausea that may arise from doing the exercises, particularly in set 1, 

      I persisted with them until the sensations receded and finally 

      disappeared altogether. The drag I experienced also receded the more 

      I did exercises 1 to 4.

2.     CONCENTRATE: - I made sure to fully concentrate on each 

      exercise that I was doing at the time.  No outside distractions such 

      as the radio, T.V. excetera.

3.     FOCUS: - At all times I attempted to keep my eyes focused with 

      a clear overall vision, particularly when doing exercises 1 to 4, 

      deliberately focusing on the object sheets at the end of each movement.

           Focusing appears to be the most important element of all. 

          I found it was the very act of focusing that  interrupted and

         eventually stopped the vertigo or dizzy sensation completely.

                                

I followed this program and have never looked back since. In the six years or
so since my attack I have not had the slightest indication that the vertigo was
about to return.Having been a past sufferer I am very keen to learn of your
progress, success stories etc., in fact, anything that may contribute to your
helping others that may be in search of an alternative treatment or cure for this
debilitating condition.

I wish you every success
