If you are using any supplements such as vitamin and minerals or herbs be aware that the Canadian gov't is passing a law to take your rights of access to these away from you under Bill C51 & 52. 26thJune 7PM Ontario Institute in Education auditorium there are speakers explaining the facts of these new laws to stop these being passed. Be informed or lose your rights as gov'ts are passing more laws that restrict your rights and freedoms beyond this one. Go to a health food store and they will have info on this. Big pharma wants these to be only sold in drug stores which will push the price up beyond the reach of most citizens. Be there, support you own democratic rights! Jim | |

| Migraines? Posted: 6/27/2008 8:31:41 PM | After being infected with Herpes and a continuous 8 month migraine and a whole new outlook on life I sympathise with everyone. I have a healthy respect now for what viruses can do to your life. My doctors refused all treatment for what appeared to be viral meningitis, my migraine subsided after taking Olive Leaf Oil Extract for 2 months along with all the anti-virals I could lay my hands on. I found I was eating noodles just for pain relief, when I regained more conciousness I found they contained Palm Oil which is an anti-viral. I've also been taking flax seed oil.
Perhaps an underlying viral load could be at the heart of some of these persisent migraines. I've recently started some herbal tonics along with the usual anti-inflammatories and Echinacea. Chinese medicine and "Averdyric" tradition certainly has a lot to offer for both migraine and suspected viral conditions. It pays to be suspicious of medications that ultimately destroy your liver and kidneys, yet I well understand you have to all you can to regain some quality of life and earn a living. | |

| Migraines? Posted: 6/27/2008 8:49:20 PM | Best think for migraines is water. Drink 8 to 10 cups of water through out the day on an empty stomach. Thirty minutes before a meal and 2 hours after a meal. Eating plenty of vegetables will help too. I found going on a food rotation diet works wonderfully. Not eating same thing more than 3 days in a row.
I really don't believe in herbs, I believe food as medicine, that is all you really need to do is eat the right foods and drink plenty of water. Meditation can help also because it releases the toxins for your body. Taking herbs without getting consultation can be a dangerous thing, you should be going to a naturopathic doctor.
I can bet anyone with any kind of pain not caused physically has a low body PH. To be health your body PH is suppose to be around 7. To bring up the PH you can either eat plenty of vegetables or take chlorella. Chlorella is a natural food not a herb or medicine. It will drive up your body PH pretty quick. You can get PH test strips at a health food store. | |

| Migraines? Posted: 6/29/2008 3:38:10 AM | I got about one a year for many years after a depressed skull fracture when I was 10. None for years when I go to 19, then one that landed me in a medical facility under IV and observation a couple of years back, then none since. Maybe 10 all up.
No apparent trigger, the only thing that changed was head trauma. Only had the one in the last seven years, hopefully they are a thing of the past. Visual artifacts were the worst part for me, pain and naseau I can deal with, but losing non-peripheral sight for hours sucked. | |

| Migraines? Posted: 7/4/2008 8:50:59 PM | | I have had severe migraines for years to the point where I had to have a completely dark room and absolutely no noise in the house. I would end up in the hospital after 3-5 days for the shot to relieve the pain. Imitrex and Maxalt did nothing for me. Execdrin Migraine worked far better loaded with all the caffeine, tylenol and aspirin. One day I finally got a D.O. instead of an M.D. and started getting adjustments immediately upon onset of the migraine (great relationship with doctor's office for scheduling) and I simultaneously started taking a migraine preventative (Topamax) which helps immensely. Now instead of having migraines 28 days a month, I might get them 2 days a month--whew what a relief after years of suffering! | |
