My only problem is that this only last 6-8 hours with no treatment other than rest.
To me, that doesn't say food poisoning. 

There are a whole assortment of other reasons for vomitting other than food poisoning. 
I once had a caffeine crystal (kind of like a kidney stone). I had all the same symptoms you mentioned.

Also, just the other day I had the same problem. Room was spinning, couldn't focus, everything seemed glossy, stomach hurt, threw up.
It was because I accidentally took double my prescription med.

Food Poisoning is generally a three day rule. In fact, when I was a kid, food poisoning was like the very best thing you could come up with to get out of school because parents knew it was generally a three day thing.

there are a million of different kinds of "food poisoning", it's a very broad term

I think you're just being very broad with the term.

There are three types: Bacterial, viral, and parasitic.
The different types of each of these are varied.

However, neither viral nor parasitic food borne pathogens are treated in such a short time-frame without medications. 
And Bacterial is the one that gives you the worst time out of all of them.

Keep in mind as well, that most people eat something and it doesn't agree with them and they instantly think "food poisoning"

In almost all cases, it takes roughly 24 hours for a food poisoning infection to actually cause results.
Quick reaction times are instead usually triggered by something else, like allergic reaction, or even an unrelated compounding issue like dehydration, ocular migraine, kidney problems, lack of sleep, excess caffeine.
