The audiologist didn't say what was in the grape juice that worked and I didn't asked either. If it worked I really didn't care. I did look it up and I found this small excerpt:

Concord and muscadine grape juice are loaded with anthrocyanins (The purple antioxidant dye), polyphenols all powerful brain protectors. The purple dye has been shown to have neurogenesis affects helping resprout brain cells involved in cognition, memory and balance. Pure Concord grape juice ranks as a heavy hitting fruit juice when it comes to the heart and brain. http://www.emoclear.com/creatinganalzheimersprev.htm

I figured there must be some nutritional reason behind it.  I drank nothing but grape juice for a day and a half, and I have to say I did feel better that second day, but the next day was horrible.  I had picked up a cold (my wife is a nurse and is always bringing these wonderful bugs home with her) so maybe that was part of it.  Coughing makes my head hurt like crazy.  I'll keep drinking the grape juice though.  I do love the stuff.  Thanks for the tip Christine!
