A first-person YouTube testimonial by Mel describing sudden onset of severe vertigo, imbalance, hearing loss and brain fog leading to a bed-bound state and a diagnosis of Meniere's disease. Conventional medical treatment (including ear injections) over six months did not help. Mel later tried alternative therapies and the Gupta Program, reporting gradual recovery: leaving the house after about 6–7 months on the program, attending social outings, and driving to another city within a year. The narrative emphasizes incremental functional milestones (walking further along a street, restaurant visit, hosting short tea parties) and the emotional experience of isolation.

Hello, my name is Mel. I was a very busy architect all my life, all my career and up till the COVID I got the vaccination and went to my hometown to take care of my sister and be with her. She was going through some serious health condition and. And so I came back home and that's when I got very ill. I woke up and that morning, actually that day I had an interview. So I was planning to get ready and go for this interview. And so when I turned my head, everything, everything just changed in my world. I could not sit up anymore. I didn't have balance. I couldn't relate to anything. I couldn't hear well. So I had, I think massive vertigo. I could not look at any moment, couldn't watch, couldn't read. And I had severe brain fog where I could. At some point I could not make a phone call. I remember laying on the couch and looking outside from the window and watching people and. And I was saying how lucky they are they can walk, how lucky they are that they can actually go about their day. Whatever they are doing is not important. But so I was just looking at the world from outside and it was very, very lonely place. Actually, very, very quickly I became bed bound. I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease and I got some medication and some injections through the ears for balance. And so the treatment lasted for six months and I did not get better. I was seeking for many alternative therapies as well. So I started looking into the ways and that's when I came across this energy healing and eventually with Gupta Gupta program, probably in six to seven months, I was able to get out of the house and be with my friends for half a day with not much problem. Within a year I was able to drive to another city. So when I started getting better, how I checked myself was that I will get out of my house, go to the back street and look at the rows of these houses. And if I was able to walk till the end of the road, which was like me maybe 10 houses away. And if you look too far, like I cannot do it, it's just too far and I'm dizzy, somebody needs to hold me or whatever, then I will just come back to the house and rest. But more and more I did the program. I found myself going out there and getting further and further on that road and in the neighborhood. So that was. That was the awesome feeling. So first time getting out of the house and meeting my girlfriends at a restaurant was another milestone for me. There was live music inside, so we have to sit outside and. But I left early, but I was able to. To enjoy some of it. And I said, well, this is a step, so there'll be a better one, a longer one. So that was one. Another one was driving for me, finally getting in the car and going to the grocery store. And then when I started shopping more and more, that gave me confidence. Eventually I started having a couple friends at my house, you know, for tea party. So it's important for me, for my heritage, you know, it's. We like the tea parties and meeting and having conversations and enjoying the day. So just short parties. And I will just do it short enough and rest before and rest after.
