|Meniere's disease I remember hearing on the Joe Rogan Podcast, Joe Rogan discussing going to Germany with Dana White, the owner of UFC. They did some kind of blood transfusion treatment. Joe did it for his knee, and Dana did it for his Meniere's disease, and supposedly it repaired his knee and stopped the disease. I don't recall what it was called though.

Dana White had stem cell therapy for his Meniere's. It costs something like $7000 for a treatment and wouldn't be covered by insurance. Also no guarantee that Dana White's issue is exactly the same as other Meniere's sufferers, he was a boxer and that probably affected his condition.

If you have the money to spare there doesn't seem to be much downside to the treatment but a big, expensive risk for most people.
