a few years ago a study was published demonstrating the positive effects of

vitamin B-2 (400mg/day) on frequency and duration of migraines. i think that

more than one study has been done; although i cannot put my hands on all of

them. the one i did find demonstrated a 56% decrease in frequency of migraine

after 3 months of treatment. the study was published in the journal Neurology

1998 Feb 50(2) 466-70.

I know a 16 year old girl who has severe migraines. they have put her

on imetrex shots (your only allowed 10 a month and has already had 3 in

the past two days) they are not helping, the headache is gone for a

couple hours and then back..they also have her on some med to help with

the nasea from the imetrex. she has had mri, cat scans, been to

chiropractor. these migraines have been going on since august. i think

she needs to do a cleanse and get all the meds out of system but then

where do we go from there.we've kept a food/weather/everything she does

chart and have not found any common with the headaches..headaches are

above right eye and then across forhead and also back of neck.

You might try therapeutic essential oils....peppermint or lavendar

when the pain first gets started. Also, Young Living has a blend

called M-Grain which has helped me.

Dear Sheila:

I had tried feverfew, 5-HTP, butterbur, magnesium, riboflavin, ginger

and other things I can't remember. Then I tried fish oil and it

stopped the migraines almost at once. I still get one occasionally

but it's much milder and shorter than before. The fish oil capsules

disagree with me so I use the liquid form which is a much higher

concentration. I would aim for at least 2000 mg. EPA per day (the

liquid has 800 mg in just one teaspoon). Mine is orange flavored and

has no fishy taste at all.

Hi, I feel for your friend, it seems no one REALLY knows what kind of suffering

a migraine brings unless they have actually experienced one! I have been a

migraine sufferer since I was around 15. Mine are related to hormones. I found

this out recently(I'm 35 now!). What kicked my migraines into action was PCOS

(poly cystic ovarian syndrome/disease). PCOS is a multi faceted disease, you do

not necessarily have to have ovarian cysts to have PCOS. You may want to check

into that. Back when I was 15-16, the migraines would have me bedridden for at

least a week or two out of the month. I missed alot of school and at that time

the doc just put me on percocet for the pain(yeah, the hindsight thing) I 've

been checked for brain tumors and had every test under the sun. Docs could

never find a " reason " for the migraines. Been through various meds. Imitrex

caused me to be to be seen by a cardiologist for a full cardiac workup. There

was a belief that I had a heart attack, it was a

side effect of the Imitrex! Docs are very hesitant to play with hormone levels

so I was " stuck " . I scoured the internet to " cure " myself. I have found that NO

caffiene (including chocolate), exercise and an unprocessed whole food diet help

tremendously and when the need arises, I do resort to Excedrin Migraine (yes, it

does have caffiene but its the only med that works)and that usually does the

trick. I hope this helps. I know its hard to find the right treatment for

migraines.

Fever few daily is a preventative. Migraine headaches are vascular and

fever few helps regulate that from what I have been told. YOu can

actually grow it and it reseeds itself and begins to grow like a weed.

I use to use and then the migraines went away.

Sheila,

 

I found a medical presciption for my migraine headaches but didn't like

taking it. I discovered that my migraines where occuring around my

menstrual cycle like right after it started, so it was a hormonal thing

in my mind. I noticed the migraine would happen right after my neck

started to get very tight too, so I began to take Kava Kava to stop the

neck from getting so tight and the migraine also stopped happening as a

result.

 

Now I no longer need the medical prescription, which was a rapid fix

after the migraine started because I just take the Kava Kava which is a

muscle relaxant when my neck starts to get tight. It was a rather odd

cure, so you might want to research the Kava Kava first before using it

to see if it will react with anything else taken. And also look at the

neck getting tight before the migraine to see if that is also an

occurance.

 

Empowering you with love and light...

They say if women have problems with their mothers they can have migraine

headaches, there is a web site about it but I do not remember it rigth now. I

had that problem when I was young, now I am older and wiser and I think that

was the problem I had which caused my migraine headaches.

Migraines and headaches in women are often a sign of an excess of

estrogen, or " estrogen dominance " . Balancing the hormones with a high

quality progesterone cream and/or Maca will often eliminate them

altogether. This addresses the cause, rather than just the symptom.

Migraines can have many root causes, so what

works for one may not work for another.

 

The nice thing about natural methods is that the

side effects from ineffective treatment tends to

be positive.

 

If your migraine is caused by food allergies

(especially corn) and you treat it with massage,

you may still have a headache, but at least you

now have a relaxed neck.

 

And vice versa. If your migraine is caused by neck

tension and you treat it with a liver cleanse, you

may still have a migraine but a clean liver is

always good.

 

I have treated several migraine sufferers with foot

reflexology. It worked wonderfully for 2 and did

nothing for 2 others.

Hi Michelle,

 

A friend had forwarded this post to me on email, and

after I responded she wondered if I might join this

group and share my view, so here are my thoughts

regarding the migraines:

 

Indeed hormone imbalance may be causing

the headache (generally if it is a sinus

headache or starts at the top of the head

and spreads), but why are the hormones out

of balance? Treating the headaches with

progesterone cream is not treating the

cause, it is again treating a symptom.

 

What has caused the estrogen dominance?

 

Could it be the phytoestrogens in soy?

Are you eating soy a lot (it is in most

processed foods, and so if you are not

cooking from scratch chances are you are

getting quite a bit of soy in your diet).

 

Could it be the pseudoestrogens in plastic?

Plastic is constantly offgassing pseudoestrogens.

Whenever you are in contact with plastic,

being it eating out of it, drinking out of

it, handling it, cooking in it, etc., you are

absorbing cells from the plastic, and the

pseudoestrogens from the plastic can increase

estrogen dominance.

 

Could it be from the heavy metals used in

pesticides?

Heavy metals used in pesticides tend to be

seen as hormones by the body and therefore

will take up hormone receptors and cause

hormone imbalances.

 

Once you realize that estrogen dominance

is a symptom, rather than the cause, you

can begin to uncover the true cause and

work on clearing it.

 

As we cannot get away from everything in

the environment which may be causing

estrogen dominance, perhaps what we need

to do is to work with the body to help

it to recognize the need to differentiate

between the foreign substances and the

body's hormones and flush the pseudoestrogens

and phytoestrogens out of the body and

allow it to balance hormones.

 

I like to use tools like TBM, NH and EFT to

do that.

Hi Kat,

 

IF the migraines are caused by estrogen dominance (which we don't

know) I personally feel that addressing them by balancing the

hormones IS addressing the cause. But, that's just my perspective and

we're all entitled to our opinions. I gather that your point is that

we should instead address the CAUSE of the estrogen dominance in the

first place rather than address it's symptoms.

 

It's impossible to avoid xenoestrogens, even for the most savvy of

us. Even for those who, like me, don't use soy (I've advised women

against it for years) don't eat hormone laden meats, poultry or

dairy, don't store in plastic, eat organic foods exclusively, use

only non-toxic products in our homes and on our bodies, etc. etc. As

you note, xenoestrogens are EVERYWHERE including in the air we breath

and as a result, " estrogen dominance " is posing very real health

concerns for men and women alike.

 

My point (from my perspective) is that the use of a high quality

progesterone cream and/or Maca helps to eliminate estrogen dominance,

which in turn addresses its symptoms. Since the entire endocrine

system is impacted by impossible to avoid " endocrine disrupting "

xenoestrogens, this is an easy, healthy and natural way to eliminate

an excess of estogens and create balance.

 

If you prefer utilizing EFT (which I love!) or another tool, that's

great! I would sure rather see any of these approaches taken over

turning to medications to treat migraines or other symptoms. And,

let's face it, that remains the approach of choice for most people,

including many in forums such as this.

 

Well wishes,

Michelle

Hi Linda,

 

Sorry I was short and did not give the full

names on my post.

 

Total Body Modification (TBM) is a discipline

developed by Dr. Victor Frank. It grew out of

old-time chiropractics. It utilized reflex

muscle testing and acupressure tapping to balance

the body. Victor Frank, George Goodheart (of

Applied Kinesiology) and John Thie (author of

Touch for Health) were all good friends, developing

their individual techniques separately together

back in the 1970s. Dr. Frank kept TBM mostly

available to chiropractors for many years, and

now has opened up to some other health disciplines,

but it is mostly taught to people already in the

health care field, such as chiropractors, MDs,

physical therapists, etc.

 

Natural Healing (NH) is a discipline developed by

Dr. Randall Frank, son of Dr. Victor Frank. It

grew out of TBM, and really supercharges TBM with

energy vials with programs, really kicking things

up a notch. It is a dynamic discipline constantly

growing and updating as the world changes.

 

Environmental Stress Management (ESM) is the

layman's version of TBM. It was developed about

10-15 years ago, as a way for patients to be able

to monitor and maintain their health, a way to take

care of the small stuff so it doesn't become the

big stuff.

 

Five years ago my daughter had major allergies

(environmental illness/multichemical sensitivities).

I found Dr. Randall Frank, and in a few minutes

he cleared all of her allergies using NH techniques.

He worked with her several times, clearing and

cleaning up residuals, and now she has been

completely allergy-free for 5 years. I had to learn

his and his father's work because of that, and now

have been working with them for the last 4 years.

And in the last 4 years I have also learned and

utilized Flower Energies and EFT as well.

 

Please let me know if you wish more information.

Again, you are correct, we are impacted in may ways by

things that tend to increase estrogen dominance in our

bodies. But there are ways of working with the body's

energy to balance the hormones without taking other

hormones. If you get the body back online, get the

communication system back functioning properly, it

will go back into balance on its own.

If you supplement it with progesterone to raise the

progesterone up to the same level as the estrogen, I see

two possible issues. One, now, having raised the

progesterone so that it is more balanced with the estrogen,

you may now have both hormones higher than they should

be in the body. Second, whenever you supplement with

something the body usually makes on its own, the body

becomes lazy and stops making it on its own. So, by

supplementing progesterone, you shut down the body's

production and basically make it necessary to supplement.

I look at where the headache begins to determine what

the most likely source of the headache is:

 

1. Top of head or sinuses - hormones

2. Back of head - structure or stress

3. Forehead - digestive

4. Behind eyes - sugar

5. Side of head - liver

 

Once you know the source, you can figure out what is

needed to clear it.

Hi Kat, and thanks for your comments. I get what you're saying and

appreciate your wisdom and feedback.

 

I do understand that the body is responding to a totally natural

transition. But, since the body has already begun to stop making

progesterone on its own (allowing estrogen to be unopposed) and

progesterone has so many great benefits, why wouldn't it be OK to

replentish it?

 

As I'm sure you know, the body continues to produce estrogen

throughout our lives, even if we don't have our ovaries. But,

progesterone levels drop to below those of men.

 

I know there is controversy about progesterone and I really do

appreciate hearing your viewpoint.

 

Thanks again,

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

 

Thank you for your kind words. I will strive to

answer your question below.

 

Just because the body has " shut down production " does

not necessarily mean that it cannot resume it.

 

Total Body Modification - http://www.tbmseminars.com and

Natural Healing - http://www.nhseminars.com are two

disciplines I know of that deal with hormone imbalances

naturally with the body. They clear the energy circuits

and allow the body to guide itself back to balance.

 

Specifically in TBM they have found 3 hormone circuits

in the body, that when balanced help balance the hormones

in any age body. There are also techniques for PMS and

menopause. Doing those techniques, which work directly

with the body, not supplements, can often balance

hormones for you. Sometimes temporary supplementation

of a hormone may be necessary, but if so generally only a

week or two should be required. And when the hormone

is taken away, the body may need to be rebalanced one

more time. I personally have not ever wound up with a

body that I have done the hormone circuits and/or

PMs/menopause balancing on need to have hormone

supplementation.

 

If TBM and NH can balance the body, I know there are

other techniques out there that can as well. EFT may

be one of them.

 

We are taught that many things are natural which are

not. When we are told something over and over, we begin

to believe it. And, in believing it we " make it so. "

In other words, the Law of Attraction in force. This

is why EFT is such a powerful tool. We CAN very often

with utilization of EFT CHANGE the belief system that

has been installed throughout our lives and allow the

body to DO as it was meant to do.

 

Throughout our lives our bodies are bombarded with

toxins, we are swallowing down negative emotions, and

we are injuring parts. All of these things add up to

the body's communication system being more and more

compromised.

 

I believe that when you swallow a negative emotion

it does not just disappear. It lies in wait wherever

it is you swallowed it to. Then when some kind of

insult or injury is inflicted where the emotion has

been lying in wait, disease ensues. It may not even

require the insult or injury, when there is enough

negative emotion swallowed, the emotion itself may

trigger the disease.

 

I believe our job as healers is to reopen the body's

communication system, giving the body more choices,

opening up energy flow to parts which have had it

shut down, and allow the body to heal itself.

 

I believe that just as we are lazy and tend to take the

easiest road, the path of least resistance, so does the

body. So, when you start taking a supplement or herb

or something that takes over a job that the body is

supposed to be doing, the body adopts the attitude that

it no longer needs to do that, and completely shuts

down production of whatever is being taken.

 

Now you wind up in a bit of a hard spot. The body needs

to get turned back on and told to get back to the job

it was supposed to do, but what do you do while you are

working on getting that to happen? Often times by

balancing the particular part that has stopped doing its

job you can immediately discontinue the supplement, but

other times you do need to supplement temporarily until

the body gets production back online, but if you continue

with the supplementation for more than a couple of weeks,

you will most likely begin to hamper the body's ability

to do for itself.

 

This is why instead of using melatonin as a " natural "

sleep aid is not necessarily a good thing. Instead of

resetting the melatonin/serotonin cycle, you may be

completely shutting it down. Instead get some sun

exposure to reset the cycle...and you may need to

increase your omega 3 intake so that your body can

properly utilize the sun.

 

Remember, allopathic medicine is always striving to

take control of the body. It uses drugs and surgery

as ways to try to do that. Often health care

alternatives follow the same pattern of trying to

control the body, but with herbs and supplements.

My supposition is that we do not know enough about

the body to take control of it. I believe that rather

than trying to take control of the body, the preferred

action should be to try to give control back to the

body. Remove the obstacles in the way of health and

allow the body to guide itself back to health. Give

it options. Let it decide. It knows, it just needs

to get the communication system back on line. Again,

this is why energy work such as EFT can be so powerful.

With it you are removing energy (communication) blocks

and letting the body see what it needs to do and then

allowing it to do it.

 

I hope I make sense. Please let me know if you have

additional questions.
