Do not treat your migraines, do not interfere with them. I know life without a migraine. I was a migraine sufferer for 12 years and treated ... prevented them for my patients for 15 years. The 95% success achieved in my office comes from a combination of research, common sense, and the hard work of my patients.
When I was a teenager, I suffered from a terrible migraine several times a week. Like most of you, I have tried medication and bio-feedback with a little help. Regular chiropractic care provided relief, but my migraines continued. The relief came to me by chance, I was shopping for food and I didn’t have enough money for everything. I had the choice of eating or drinking my daily 2-liter Pepsi bottle, I chose a meal. Like magic, my migraine disappeared over the next week. It took several weeks to acknowledge that soda, alcohol, etc., caused a migraine, but as soon as I eliminated them, I felt fine. Trigger products are well documented, but are not the complete answer.
When I first started treating patients, I was sure that the simple elimination of the diet was the answer for my migraine patients, but many did not respond. I was determined to find an answer to migraine treatment. I looked through thousands of medical research articles about migraines and found the keys I need. The best way to treat migraines is to prevent them successfully. To prevent migraines, I needed to determine the true cause of the migraine.
They are the key to preventing migraines, understanding that they are caused by an overload of toxins in the body. Migraine can be considered as a really serious hangover caused not by alcohol, but by all kinds of toxins from the body and from it. The liver, the body’s primary system for eliminating toxins, is overloaded with migraine sufferers. The liver is not sick, it simply does not function fast enough to detoxify the body. Simple examples of a toxin include alcohol, chemicals, caffeine, and drugs. Toxins also include hormones and chemical compounds that the body naturally produces, but cannot detoxify quickly enough. Toxins can even be food if the digestive tract can not properly break them, for example, preservatives, artificial coloring and artificial flavors. This simple concept meant that thousands of former migraine sufferers did not suffer from pain. If toxins and slow liver function lead to migraines; then a decrease in toxic load and an increase in liver function will prevent migraines.
Tracy T. was 40 years old and suffered from migraines for 13 years. She took Pamelor, Topamax, Esgik Plus and Zomig without any help. She was under the care of a neurologist, her fourth, and received a migraine every day. She was in good health and was following a healthy lifestyle; alcohol and caffeine were avoided and avoided. She began using her dietary supplements, improved her diet and increased water intake. Her 2-month inspection showed that she had only 1 migraine after 8 weeks and several mild headaches. She worked with her doctor to eliminate her medication and now she took only 1, with a reduced amount. In the six-month review, it was shown that she did not take medicine and did an excellent job.
There are 10,000 medical studies on migraines. The medical research that I reviewed overwhelmingly supports lifestyle change using a nutritional approach.
Medical research .... How it supports this approach
1. Low B vitamins and magnesium levels ....... need nutrients for liver detoxification
2. a woman is 3 times more likely to suffer from migraines .... a woman produces more hormones that need to be detoxified,
3. increase the frequency and severity of migraine with the menstrual cycle .......... the female body produces up to 4 x of such hormones during the menstrual cycle
4. elimination of diets is useful .... reduces the consumption of toxins, less for detoxification, so the liver can keep up with demand
5. Drugs cause 30-40% of headaches ...... Drugs need to be detoxified by the liver, increasing the toxic load
6. caused by smoke, perfume, etc ... smells - all chemical compounds that increase the toxic load on the liver
There are also two laboratory tests that confirm that slower liver detoxification is associated with migraines. The first test for liver function is not a typical blood test. A functional liver test will determine how long your body will need to decompose and detoxify various chemical compounds, including; caffeine, aspirin and acetaminophen. The second test when scanning the genomic edge. Migraine diseases are associated with a genetic defect in liver detoxification.
The liver takes about 8 weeks to reduce toxic load and nutritional support for detoxification. When my patients start this process, we ask them to keep a diary about each migraine, how it was and how long it lasted. Most patients begin to notice a decrease in frequency or severity within 3 weeks and are free from migraine at the 8th week. Usually women can tell them that they are better than their third menstrual cycle. You may find that the 1st and 2nd weeks are a bit rough when you adapt to your new diet and your body drops toxins. Below are some recommendations:
Lifestyle changes to prevent migraines
I recommend that my patients shoot for 100% success. The more you limit the entry of toxins into the body, the greater the chance of success. An exceptional diet alone will not work for most migraine sufferers. You will need to take nutritional supplements along with lifestyle changes in order to live without a migraine. Life does not always allow you to remain in leadership, do your best.
Avoid the following:
caffeine and decaffeinated coffee, tea and soda
chocolate
artificial coloring
artificial flavor
preservatives
nuts
heavy perfume personal care products switch to all natural
cleaning products switch to all natural
cigarette smoking or secondary smoke
alcohol - all forms
Consume the following:
60-80 ounces per day
High fiber foods; fruits, vegetables, grain
Nutritional support: help increase liver detoxification
Artichoke
Tumeric
Silmayrin
Glutathione
Cysteine
Hepatic liver oil
All Natural Multivitamins
B complex
Patients who use over-the-counter and prescription drugs slow down detoxification. Currently, migraine sufferers, prescription drugs, should talk with their doctors. Together you can develop a reduction plan and then eliminate your medication. Patients who use medications as needed, try to reduce the frequency of use, after a couple of weeks with a new diet and lifestyle.
Questions and answers:
Q: Why doesn't my doctor know about this?
A: Doctors are treating diseases, not dysfunctions. Doctors are most likely to cause 30-40% of all migraines from migraine drugs, which they prescribe, and the rebound effect they cause.
Q: Is your protocol secure?
A: Lifestyle and nutritional recommendations are very safe.
Q: Can I continue treatment?
A: Yes, keep taking the medication and start the protocol when it is best for you to talk with your doctor
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: You may feel a little worse in 1-2 weeks, but it is worth it to be a migraine for about 8 weeks.
Question: What kind and where can I get nutritional supplements?
A: The listed nutritional supplements are available at any good health food store. My office uses professional nutrients that are available only through medical professionals, they do not have health food stores.
