He should try Avil.

Yes, and near zero side effects.

You have to ask for it though as it is not on the shelf but stored behind the counter.

I can go out for days on end with Avil. The only side effect I have noticed is when I laydown to sleep, I feel a bit dizzy at first which soon passes.

Have a read my friend and do a search to find many more. I think mythbusters the TV show also did a test with a couple of the hosts taking "vitamins" thinking it was a motion sickness tablet and said it worked really good.. Mind over matter mate ;)
3 days of the same motion and less people felt sick, it was conditioning ie getting used to the motion.

What happens overtime just like vertigo is your brain learns to ignore signals from your inner ear and it typically takes 3 days. technically your inner ear is in your head.
This makes sense. But why do some people that have never been on a boat aren't bothered at all and some that have had experience still do? Does it have something to do with balance?

Yes all to do with balance and the inner ear.

I had a middle ear infection and got vertigo a few years ago. My balance has never been quite the same since and I haven't been sea sick since.

Previous to this without sea sickness tablets I would get sea sick in calm ocean conditions.
