After suffering for years and getting 3 to 4 migraines a month I found that my

cure was an aspirin a day kept a migrain away! I got a migraine every month

before my period. It was directly linked to my hormones for some reason and I

had food allergies that would manifest in migraines. I started keeping a food

journal and wrote down everything I ate for 3 months. I found I had an allergic

reaction to processed cheeses and the artifical cheese flavoring foods. I would

have a migraine each time I ate that stuff. Now I am migraine free and happy.

After going to the hospital with them I started the asprin a day routine and it

has worked for many many years.....Also at the on set of the little fuzzy bright

lights you see as the warning before the pain hits is a good time to take an

aspirin or two. For some reason the pain never got that intense if I had an

aspirin at hand when those bright lights would start. Maybe because aspirin

thins your blood. But please Seek

professional help before starting aspirin therapy.. Just in case...Wish I had

an all natural cure for you but this so far has been the best. I am anxious to

see if anyone has any other form of help..

 

Hope this helps.

I have had them for years and get them irregularly. I usually take a combo

of caffiene and aspirin/tylenol. It usually works but not always. Even if

you get good results with an OTC med, it's still a good idea to see a

neurologist. Migraines--especially the ones associated with auras--are the

#1 cause of stroke under the age of 40. This is especially true if it

lasts for 3 days or more.

 

Anyone try eo's or herbs for this? Feverfew is supposed to be good. Rose

oil for headaches. Some people say neroli or peppermint helps them.

Anything else?

My oldest daughter used to get a lot of severe migraines. Now that she's been

drinking a cup of fever few tea every day and taking it in capsules, she rarely

has them. I also gave her a little lavender EO mixed with rice bran oil to rub

on her temples too - works wonders for my head aches

In the late 1980s a research project on feverfew in a London hospital

found that the most effective way of taking it was a couple of fresh

leaves a day. That was way better than the dried herb and confirms

something that herbalists have always believed. The expert plant

chemists who did the research, were not certain which chemicals did

the trick and were happy to accept it was a combination of the

chemicals (synergy). It does not work on all types of migrain though

as there are many causes.

Different things work for different people.

 

In my reflexology practice I have helped 3 people

with migraines, and for 2 others it didn't do a thing.

 

Many people benefit from eating a few leaves of

Feverfew daily as a prevention, others don't.

You need to do it for a few months.

 

Some people benefit from a few drops of

Essential Oil of Peppermint or Lavender on the

temples or under the nose when they feel the first

warning signs.

 

Much depends on the root cause of your migraines.

 

Is it a neck out of alignment, or food allergies,

or a mysterious neurological condition in the brain?

 

The following suggestions are all in the " no help,

no-harm " category.

 

See a chiropractor and/or sacro-cranial therapist

to rule out the neck factor.

Side effect: a straight neck never hurt anyone.

 

Do as Gloria said and keep a food diary. Allergies

can be a major factor.

Get your colon clean and activate your liver.

That goes together.

 

Side effect: a better functioning digestive system.

 

Drink more good clean water, with a bit of good

live salt added. See http://thewatercure.com

 

Side effect: a better lubricated body.

 

That about sums up my 2 cents, good luck with it!

Magnesium (400 mg Magnesium oxide twice a day) and Feverfew (standardized to 600

mcg Parthenolide per capsule works best for me) help tremendously, and Evening

Primrose Oil may help with hormone-induced migraine during the week before and

during menstruation. Peppermint herbal tea is useful at the onset of migraine

to lessen the severity and duration.

 

Pickled foods like olives, pickles, beets, and preserved meats like salami,

bologna, bacon...these can trigger migraine in me. Other people I know have

problems with cheese or wine. Also, if a bright light shines in my eyes it can

bring on a migraine. So can skipping a meal or waiting too long between meals.

 

Most of the time I don't worry about it too much but when I've had a migraine I

have to avoid all the triggers for at least a week and get lots of sleep or

another headache will be imminent and will probably last longer than the

preceding one.

 

jaime,CA

p.s. Suddenly increasing Magnesium intake can cause loose bowels temporarily. If

you don't wish to take extra Mg orally you can soak in a tub of warm water

treated with Epsom Salts and absorb the Mg through your skin. EOs of mint and/or

eucalyptus can help a great deal, too, when added to the bath.

Although magnesium and feverfew can help migraines, they do not cure

the cause of them in the whole person, or where they are connected to

emotional/mental/spiritual status. Good to see homeopathy mentioned,

but this paragraph has some serious mistaken statements:

" Another suggestion is the homeopathic remedy Nat Mur. According to

David, it doesn't cure migraines but does significantly relieve the

condition. Annie also found relief with this remedy: " It was

brilliant. So brilliant that I decided to train as a homeopath myself! " "

First, I've seen Nat-Mur and other remedies cure migraines

permanently, so where does 'it doesn't cure migraines' comes from I'm

not sure. Second, routinely recommending any homeopathic remedy for a

'condition' is allopathic and dangerous. A whole case should be taken

and the remedy unique to THAT PERSON, with migraines should be

prescribed, always. Otherwise by ignoring the rest of the picture and

therefore all the other facets connected with the imbalance, you can

be suppressing one condition (which is what allopathic medicine does),

later to emerge as another deeper and more complicated issue.

 

For some people, water, massage, flax, exercise and having a good diet

might be all they need and are wise to do even without migraines :)

received an Mg-deficient diet (0.225 g Mg/kg food) during 8 weeks. In

significant improvements were found between days 35 and 56 in the

alterations in Mg, Ca and P caused by Mg deficiency in all tissues

Try adding a couple of feverfew leaves to your sandwich, or take

50-140 mg/day of granulated or powdered extract in divided doses.

However, WDDTY's Medical Detective Harald Gaier notes you shouldn't

use it for more than five months, or if you are taking anticoagulant

(blood-thinning) medications, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or

hypersensitive to the Asteraceae plant family.

headaches. You will probably experience a 72-hour migraine as your

body adjusts, but you will be headache-free afterwards. Also, make

sure you drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. Many migraines are caused

from dehydration. 1000 mg of magnesium per day also helps, along with

vitamin B2. Stay away from red wines and aged cheeses. Also, check

your posture. Many migraines are caused by muscle contractions from

the trapezius muscle. Massage therapy on the shoulders and neck may

help. Take flax oil and fish oil to reduce inflammation in the

tissues. And try to walk or exercise 3-5 times a week- it really helps! "

Hi Gerry,

 

 

Here is a little compilation (not complete by any means) of remedies:

_Making the Magnesium-Migraine Link_

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2005/09/28/making_the_magnesiummigraine_l\

ink.htm)

 

 

In addition to magnesium, get some live organic yogurt and add a capsule

of Vitamin B100 complex plus add 100 mg of B2. Make sure it is not a tablet.

Mix it thoroughly and let it sit overnight you can leave outside the

fridge if you like, then eat it next morning. After a couple of weeks you could

try removing the B2 as it already contained in the B100 complex.

 

 

One of the big problems is the ability to absorb magnesium. Often it not

sufficient to just take any magnesium supplement. You need to try different

types until you find one that is suitable to you. " when taking magnesium for

migraine don't buy a calcium/magnesium blend. If you're taking a calcium

supplement, take it at another time of day. It can interfere with the

benefits of the magnesium for migraine. "

 

 

See: _So just what is the magnesium migraines connection?_

(http://www.relieve-migraine-headache.com/magnesium-migraines.html)

 

 

You can also get _magnesium form pure cocoa...._

(http://www.chocolate.org/magnesium.html)

 

 

" Epidemiological studies have reported that Western diets are often

deficient in Mg. We investigated the ability of a cocoa-derived product, used

in

some European countries as a dietary complement added to milk, to aid

recovery from chronic Mg deficiency in rats. The animals were divided into

three

groups, each of which received a different amount of dietary Mg. Rats in

the Mg-deficient (D) group received an Mg-deficient diet (0.225 g Mg/kg food)

during 8 weeks. In the cocoa-supplement group (D + CC), the rats consumed

the Mg-deficient diet for 5 weeks, and were then switched for 3 further

weeks to the same diet supplemented with 3% (wt/wt) cocoa product, so that the

Mg content of the diet was 0.27 g/kg food. Rats in the control group ©

were given the same diet as in group D, except that the amount of Mg was

0.56 g Mg/kg food. We measured the concentration of Mg, Ca and P from ten rats

in plasma, whole blood, skeletal muscle, heart, kidney and femur in rats

that were fed the diets for 35, 42, 49 or 56 days. In animal fed the

cocoa-supplemented diet (D + CC) significant improvements were found between

days

35 and 56 in the alterations in Mg, Ca and P caused by Mg deficiency in all

tissues studied. On day 56, kidney and bone concentrations of Mg and Ca

had returned to normal. Our findings show that the habitual use of the cocoa

product as a dietary supplement favors correction of the negative effects

of long-term feeding with a diet moderately deficient in Mg. "

 

 

" One very easy method of doing this involves cocoa. I'm not talking

chocolate bars like Reeses or Mars or Nestle Crunch, but real baking cocoa. A

bar

of 80% cocoa works best. Take only a piece of the bar and bite into it;

you will feel instant relief and feel better about the world. However, only

take a piece. Cocoa at that amount can become very addicting in its own

right, so less is definitely more here. That said, the results are great. You

feel better, your mood improves and that headache goes away. "

More on migraines:

 

 

A 55-year-old woman is in search of a cure for migraines, which she’s

suffered from since she was five years old. In the past month or so they have

become more frequent than ever, and she’s wondering if there are vitamins or

homeopathic options that have worked for others.

 

 

Several readers recommend the herb feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium). Try

adding a couple of feverfew leaves to your sandwich, or take 50-140 mg/day of

granulated or powdered extract in divided doses. However, WDDTY’s Medical

Detective Harald Gaier notes you shouldn’t use it for more than five

months, or if you are taking anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, if you

are pregnant or breastfeeding, or hypersensitive to the Asteraceae plant

family.

 

 

Another suggestion is the homeopathic remedy Nat Mur. According to David,

it doesn't cure migraines but does significantly relieve the condition.

Annie also found relief with this remedy: “It was brilliant. So brilliant

that

I decided to train as a homeopath myself!â€

 

 

Terri from the US used to suffer from migraines three times a week, but

now she only gets them about once every two months. She offers the following

advice: “First of all, stop taking any over-the-counter meds because they

have a rebound effect and can actually be causing the headaches. You will

probably experience a 72-hour migraine as your body adjusts, but you will be

headache-free afterwards. Also, make sure you drink 6-8 glasses of water

daily. Many migraines are caused from dehydration. 1000 mg of magnesium per

day also helps, along with vitamin B2. Stay away from red wines and aged

cheeses. Also, check your posture. Many migraines are caused by muscle

contractions from the trapezius muscle. Massage therapy on the shoulders and

neck

may help. Take flax oil and fish oil to reduce inflammation in the tissues.

And try to walk or exercise 3-5 times a week- it really helps!â€

 

 

Other recommendations include acupuncture, chiropractic therapy and the

_Feingold diet_ (http://www.feingold.org/) . . Jane’s husband tried this diet

30 years ago and he hasn’t had a migraine since!

 

Extracted from: _WDDTY e-News Broadcast _ (http://www.wddty.com/) - 13

Last but not least is the use of _electromedicine._

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/06/19/electricity_the_mother_of_all_\

medicine.htm)

 

 

MIGRAINE HEADACHES PEMF CLINICAL STUDY

 

Headache. 1998 Mar;38(3):208-13

Initial exploration of pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMF) for treatment

of migraine.

 

Sherman RA, Robson L, Marden LA.

 

Service of Orthopedic Surgery, Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, Wash.

98431, USA.

 

 

Two studies were conducted during which 23 patients with chronic migraine

were exposed to pulsing electromagnetic fields over the inner thigh. In an

open study, 11 subjects kept a 2-week headache log before and after 2 to 3

weeks of exposure to pulsing electromagnetic fields for 1 hour per day, 5

days per week. The number of headaches per week decreased from 4.03 during

the baseline period to 0.43 during the initial 2-week follow-up period and to

0.14 during the extended follow-up which averaged 8.1 months. In a

double-blind study, 9 subjects kept a 3-week log of headache activity and were

randomly assigned to receive 2 weeks of real or placebo pulsing

electromagnetic field exposures as described above. They were subsequently

switched to 2

weeks of the other mode, after which they kept a final 3-week log. Three

additional subjects in the blind study inadvertently received half-power

pulsing electromagnetic field exposures. The 6 subjects exposed to the actual

device first showed a change in headache activity from 3.32 per week to 0.58

per week. The 3 subjects exposed to only half the dose showed no change in

headache activity. Large controlled studies should be performed to

determine whether this intervention is actually effective.

 

 

Publication Types:

· Clinical Trial

· Randomized Controlled Trial

Those interested in using PEMF could try pulsing electromagnetic fields

over the inner thigh using the

I have found two cures for migraines after about fifty years of searching:

 

1/2 tsp of Megahydrate powder in a short glass of water will stop a

classic migraine in its tracks.

 

Ubiquinol taken on a daily basis will keep them from ever occurring.

 

Also vigorous exercise will lessen an attack considerably if the above

is not available... but this, of course, is counter intuitive. You

must continue the exercise well beyond the time that the symptoms go

away or it will reoccur. The earlier you start the more effective this

is. I used an exercise bike before I discovered Megahydrate and Ubiquinol.

 

Hi Chris

Could you please give me the remedy for migraine headaches, my wife gets

these consistently!

Migraine means " one-sided " headache and it pertains to several

conditions. Classic Migraine (CM), which can affect either sex, is

quite different than Migraines triggered by periods or cluster

migraines. Proven methods for dealing with each condition are

apparently unrelated despite what you may be told. Below, I discuss

Classic Migraine.

 

The symptoms of CM begin with an aura which generally includes blind

spots and numbness or tingling in the fingers of the left hand. This

progresses to numbness of the entire left arm. Finally, it moves up to

the left side of the face and the tongue will go numb. One may even

bite the tongue under certain circumstances do to this without knowing

it.. Along with these, symptoms generally include mental disorientation

and the inability to talk coherently. This can progress to nearly total

blindness in the left eye. The headache pain comes after all of this has

progressed. By this time, the attack has progressed well beyond it

apex, however, the after effects can go on for days and always leave

one totally wasted. Vigorous exercise will relieve some of the after

effect and can even stop an attack. Occasionally, one attack can follow

another, but that is uncommon.

 

For those who have suffered strokes, the above symptoms may sound

familiar, because they are quite related. In fact, it has been reported

that CM sufferers eventually suffer ten times the normal stoke rate of

the general population. For this reason, I have come to believe that

cures for CMs will most likely help in avoiding strokes.

 

Over the years, I tried several migraine drugs. However, migraine drug

manufacturers don't seem to realize that migraine is not one condition

and one size does not fit all. Most doctors are equally clueless. One

popular commercial migraine drug includes an extremely high level of

caffeine. Why anyone would believe that this expensive drug would work

for CM, I have no idea. In fact, in my experience, this drug actually

exacerbates CM attacks. However, as previously mentioned, Dr. Patrick

Flanagan's Megahydrate with stop a CM attack in its tracks. On one

occasion, years ago, I stopped an attack with intense meditation, much

to my surprise. However, it is not likely that many will duplicate this

cure.

 

Some time ago, Dr. Mercola reported that Ubiquinol could stop migraines

from occurring. Not knowing which type he was referring to, I was very

surprised to find him correct with regard to CM. From that, I deduce

that Ubiquinol supplementation should protect one against strokes. Time

may tell.

 

At least one doctor who specialized in CM claimed that with advanced

age-related hardening of the arteries, CMs will cease. I am 68 and can

attest that this is not the case. Quite likely, this doctor was

suffering from two health problems and one eventually negated the

other. Her reasoning may work for her, but it is not likely to work for

those in this forum.

often but sometimes they are so bad I can nothing but >go to bed in a

dark and quiet room.
