A Powerful Natural Migraine Remedy

Finally, a powerful natural migraine remedy. This is wonderful good news - and

confirms, again, what I have said for all these years. And having had very

frequent migraine headaches myself - now thankfully lo these many year ago - I

know full well what this means. Here then, and although there are some cautions,

is the way and means how to get rid of migraine headaches naturally - and

forever.

 

As described in the article below, Dr. Zeiger has achieved complete migraine

relief in 15 minutes in 87% of his patients with an intravenous injection of

magnesium.

 

That the trace element (or 'mineral') magnesium gets rid of migraine headaches

is great good news; however, that it takes a large and intravenously injected

dose is not so good at all. Too much of the trace elements is as deadly as too

little, and there are much, much better ways.

 

The first is to get more magnesium into your system - and the very best source

is the daily seafood diet consisting of one or two daily servings of seafood, as

now recommended by the USDA.

 

Paradoxically perhaps, magnesium is one of the few known trace elements which is

maintained in agricultural soils - if the particular farmer deems it necessary.

However, there is much evidence that we do not get enough magnesium from our

daily food.

 

For instance; the baffling riddle why farmers in the south eastern US had a 10

year lower life expectancy than farmers elsewhere, was solved, in the 1960ties,

by the discovery that the whole region was magnesium deficient. That only

farmers were so affected was explained by the fact that most of their daily food

came from their own farms, whereas the daily food of city dwellers came from a

great variety of other regions. Adding magnesium to the soil has since then

eliminated this problem.

 

The discovery that magnesium eliminates migraines, and the wide-spread incidence

of migraine, however, is one of several other indications that we do not obtain

sufficient magnesium from our daily food. Adding magnesium to the soil is

determined by the magnesium needs of crops - not of people. But plants are far

simpler things than we are and do not have lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, a

heart - nor a brain. Consequently, and while crops can get along with the

supplied magnesium, it appears that we do not obtain sufficient magnesium for

our daily food.

 

And since whole food is always far superior and far safer than any supplement -

and especially so for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and babies (if your

haven't done so already, make sure to see the previous article) - our best

source of sufficient magnesium is one or two daily servings of seafood. But this

will take a while; up to about three months, before the body is fully 'topped'

up with magnesium again.

 

In the meantime though, there is a wonderful, and wonderfully effective method

to get rid of migraine headaches within a few days - and forever. It involves

nothing more than becoming aware of your 'state of mind' just before the onset

of a migraine headache - and then changing that state of mind. It works, and it

works wonderfully well.

 

That's how I got rid of my migraine headaches - I used to get them every two

days on average, and I used to live with 2 bottles of Bufferin - one in use, and

the other for back-up. But all that is long gone now. I've haven't had a single

migraine headache since then, and it's been over 15 years. I've described this

method in greater detail in GOOD BYE HEADACHES. However, we also began eating

our own home-grown and seaweed fertilized vegetables around the same time -

which provided us with the full spectrum of the 72+ trace elements, including

sufficient magnesium, in our daily food. So, I cannot say with certainty which

method did the trick; and most likely, it's both.

 

Another alternative is one of the non-pharmaceutical daily nutritional

supplements of the 72+ trace elements, but, and however, since they also contain

the 'heavy' elements, the same cautions regarding pregnant women, nursing women,

babies and small children apply (must see SUPPLEMENTS in these pages).

 

Nevertheless, you can now go ahead and get rid of migraines forever, naturally

and effectively - and with tremendously beautiful side effects, instead of nasty

ones - by including one or more servings of seafood in your daily nutrition, as

now also recommended by the USDA - and with a simple little mental trick.

Natural Migraine Relief

 

It is estimated that 26 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches without

using over-the-counter or prescription pain medications for relief. Now some

migraine sufferers are finding relief with natural remedies. Dr. David Zeiger, a

headache specialist at American Whole Health Center in Chicago, says, close to

87 percent of the patients have complete relief of their migraine symptoms

within about 15 minutes using intravenous magnesium therapy.

 

Dr. Zeiger says migraine pain is caused by the swelling and constriction of

muscles within the blood vessels. Magnesium works by keeping the muscles

relaxed.

 

Recent studies have also shown that the taking of riboflavin in large doses will

cut down the frequency and duration of migraine attacks. Riboflavin, better

known as vitamin B-2, is believed to work much like magnesium. Dr. Zeiger

explains, " many people who have migraines suffer from B-2 deficiency. " Experts

say other herbs may also offer relief. Feverfew, ginkgo biloba and ginger have

all been shown to help control migraine attacks.

 

Magnesium can cause nausea and vomiting. He adds it has to be taken in fairly

high doses to make a difference and should only be taken under the guidance of a

doctor.(Source: Health Mall, Oct. 26. 2000 www.healthmall.com)
