Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Terri, I've used feverfew tincture or capsules and peppermint oil on my forehead, temples and back of neck up along hair line... along with ginger if it is making me ill, and garlic... Garlic has been know to help migranes.. but you'll need to take more than one clove in a day's time.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I don't remember the milligrams.. or how that relates to the cloves.. but you can try a clove with each meal to start and then if you need more.. take 2 at each meal.. etc.. once under control.. cut back to wherever you need to be.. 1 a day or every other day or weekly... taking complete tonic every day may do the trick after you get the migraines under control also.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I haven't had a migraine since we moved to Colorado. But when I did get them, they were usually one of two types, and each type had a different " precurser " , and a different remedy. One would start with the smell of burnt popcorn. If I could catch it early enough, a few shots of Tonic every couple of hours usually kept it at bay. The other would start with " diamond glitters " in the corner of my eyesight. This one would not respond to the Tonic, but responded well to Organic Iron. But I had to catch them before the pain kicked in, or nothing would help but another trip to the ER. Peace, love, laughter Last night somebody broke into my apartment and replaced everything with exact duplicates... When I pointed it out to my wife she said, " Do I know you?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yup, I still have them. When our insurance kicks in here in another month or so, I get to see a real doctor, not a Medical dr like in California, or a prison " dr " like in my prison days. I have reservations in general about doctors, but feel a complete physical is a good idea at this point in my life. And with the insurance, " maintainance " visits are 100% free.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm hoping with my new insurance, I can get a referral to a chiro. I dind't realize there were different " schools " of training. It makes perfect sense, but it just never occurred to me. Thanks, Granny! Hey , how are your headaches doing? You are in our prayers!!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 From the Remedies files Here is just some of the info in the migraine file. Some headache info from Dr. : Severe Migraine: For a really severe migraine headache, apply cold packs to the neck and head while the patient soaks in a very hot tub or whirlpool. Be sure to drink lots of feverfew tea and water, take copious amounts of Dr. 's Calc Tea and try to enjoy the bath. -- Dehydration Headache: Sometimes people get headaches because they are dehydrated. You would be surprised that most people walk around in a state of dehydration. You need about a gallon of steam-distilled water each day in order to stay completely hydrated. -- Rosemary: Another method to relieve headache is, as soon as the headache begins, a small bottle of spirits of Rosemary is held to the nose and the fumes are inhaled. In addition, a few drops of the preparation are rubbed gently but thoroughly on the temples, on the forehead, on the veins of the neck and behind the ears. This reputedly gives prompt relief. Juices for a Sick Headache: Celery, celery & apple. -- Cabbage Leaves: Apply cabbage leaves to the forehead and nape of the neck and leave on overnight. Applications of the leaves over the liver may also be necessary. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Disarm Headache and Migraine Triggers, Naturally! Henry Bieler, M.D., in my opinion, presented the best logical explanation to migraines and headaches in his book, Food Is Your Best Medicine. Dr. Bieler believes that the best way to prevent migraines is to reduce exposure to toxic substances and improve your body's ability to detoxify substances in your intestinal tract and liver. Here's how Dr. Bieler explains a migraine headache: " Food eaten today is about as far removed from the natural diet of man as man is from his primitive jungles. Man, however, still has approximately the same digestive apparatus and liver as his remote ancestors. If he lives on natural food, his liver remains efficient; if he fills his stomach with breads, hot dogs, chili, doughnuts washed down with coffee, his outraged liver cannot do its work. Whether his liver breaks down early or late depends upon how good an organ it was at birth. But break down it will, and when it fails to filter and neutralize toxins from the blood, an extra line of defense must come into play. This defense is carried on by the endocrine glands, which try to direct these toxins into other eliminative organs. The principal endocrine glands called upon for this effort are the pituitary which lies at the base of the brain, the thyroid, situated in the neck, and the adrenals, which fit like a cap over each kidney. Glands of internal secretion then are pressed into hyperfunction, forced to manufacture more of their secretion. However, since the amount of gland's secretion is in exact ratio to the volume of blood entering it, the gland is enlarged by this extra blood supply, which often can have disastrous physical consequences. The pituitary gland, for example, does not have much room in which to swell, encased as it is in a bony cup at the base of the skull....very little swelling can take place without creating a pressure on a gland within its box. This pressure can cause alarming symptoms. Four different diseased states, all arising from a toxemia of the blood, can result from the pressure: migraine headache, the common types of epilepsy, acromegaly and blindness. There are many cases in my files of migraine and epilepsy-cases in which the distressing symptoms have been arrested and the body restored to health. This was accomplished by taking the excessive dietary burden off the liver, which then was able to cleanse the blood stream and restore a balance between the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. " (pp. 44-45) The worst toxins leading to migraine headaches are simple sugars. Dr. Bieler calls it " alcoholic type of headache " . The alcohol does not come from drinking alcoholic beverages. It is manufactured in the person's own stomach. It results from the fermentation of the sugars and starches in that person's diet. This alcohol is more harmful than bottled spirits. " Alcohol made in the intestines has among its ingredients sour mash and other products very toxic to the body. " (p. 45) A migraine sufferer should remove all breads, starches (rice and pasta), cookies, chocolate....etc. Eat vegetables, low glycemic fruits (apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, berries and pears), fish, nuts, seeds, brown rice and yams. This diet will eliminate the surplus of poisons and migraines will simply not come back. Beneficial nutritional support: To help with digestion and assimilation: • Acidophilus (http://tinyurl.com/24ajq) and bifidus (http://tinyurl.com/26rur) micro-blended with blue green algae. • Plant based enzymes ( http://tinyurl.com/ey8l ) micro-blended with blue green algae. (Use them with cooked foods to properly digest meals and in between meals to help with cleansing). To help with nourishing the body: • Wild-crafted blue green algae (http://tinyurl.com/g1iz and http://tinyurl.com/iw4k). • Organically grown sprouted grains and grasses - a green mix powder (http://tinyurl.com/6j9t5). To reduce oxidative stress: • Coenzyme Q10 micro-blended with organic flax oil (http://tinyurl.com/f1f7). • Wheat sprouts micro-blended with red algae and wild-crafted blue green algae (http://tinyurl.com/6vxtu). Drink 8 to 12 glasses of spring water daily. Take small and frequent sips to prevent your cells from shrinking as a result of dehydration. Avoid large amounts of fluid with meals (liquid with meals dilutes digestive enzymes which are designed to work without dilution from liquids). Migraines and headaches are preventable. Just treat the body right by giving it the right foods. References: Bieler, Henry, M.D. (1965). Food Is Your Best Medicine. New York: Ballantine Books.
