A fireman with Meniere's disease

"My brother has been given a hypothetical diagnosis of Meniere's disease. He was symptom free until a month ago and since then has had five violent episodes of vertigo with nausea and vomiting. The doctor (GP) thinks he may have a severe case and is referring him to an ear specialist but the wait is several weeks. My brother is a fireman and is very upset with the possibility of having this disease and its risk to his career. The episodes come out of nowhere and even have woken him up from his sleep!

I would like to recommend something to him while he waits to see this specialist. Currently he is self-treating on google... as we do! he is limiting salt, cutting out processed foods, and has (finally after years of my begging) stopped drinking diet sodas/aspartame."
