Hi there,

I just thought I would jump in here.... the mention of the

word " headaches " really gets me going. My husband suffered

from " sinus headaches " from the time he was a teenager. He went

through 4 years of medical school and 2 years of a neurology

residency before he realized that he was, in fact, suffering from

migraines. There is, actually, no such thing as a sinus headache.

99.9% of doctors misdiagnose migraine sufferers, and a very large

percentage of neurologists don't recognize them either. It wasn't

until my husband rotated through a neurology headache clinic that he

realized that what he had suffered from all these years was

migraine.

You can read up on migraines on google but basically they occur when

a person passes his " trigger threshold. " Triggers are definitely

certain foods....but also can be other things such as oversleeping,

or high/low pressure areas around storms and such. There are some

triggers you can limit (food, oversleeping, etc), and others you

can't (weather, etc). By eliminating the triggers you have control

over you can keep from going over the threshold.

One way of identifying triggers is to go on an elimination diet and

then gradually reintroduce foods to see their effect. We chose not

to do this because my husband was not ready for any huge change or a

spartan lifestyle. Instead, we kept a headache journal - everytime

he got a headache we logged down everything he had eaten in the last

24 hours. After a little while we noticed the same ingredients

popping up (most of them food additives, but some natural foods as

well).

A few triggers that we found (and pretty common among most migraine

sufferers):

cinnamon, formaldehyde (in commercial maple syrup), msg (check for

all the code names), red dye #40, sodium benzoate, citric acid (in

all commercial canned tomatoes and even most organic ones - we use

Eden or Pomi brand now), all citrus, aspartame, cocoa, nitrites in

processed sandwich meats, soybean oil. I am sure I am forgetting

some but this just gives you an idea.

Books - I am fighting my little one for the computer now so I can't

look up the exact title but I think it is Heal YOur Headache the 123

approach or something like that.... we found this to be very helpful

in identifying possible triggers.

Good luck with everything. Hope he starts feeling better.

Wow a choice of goat and cow. I pay $11.35 for a gallon of the cow

milk.

puppy, LOVES both - when she gets some! :-)

read that Goat milk is better than Cow milk? Since the opportunity

is open for me to buy BOTH...which should I be buying for cheese and

which for drinking/cooking? Goat is $8 per gallon and Cow is $6.

I never used to get headaches, then about 7 years ago I started

getting terrible headaches, until at last they lasted for days and

made me hide from loud noises (or any sounds). When I treated the

lyme, first with antibiotics then the salt/c protocol, I stopped

having the headaches. I haven't had any for two months now (a year

after starting treatment). While it was true that there probably were

triggers, like pollen and low/high pressure (barometric), the fact is

that there is still pollen, and we just had a whopper of a storm, but

no headache.

There's a difference between trigger and cause. Some in the lyme

group link headaches to liver problems - the liver isn't removing the

toxins it should. Personally I had liver and kidney issues that I

believe contributed to the headaches.

Our culture is plagued with bad habits that lead to liver problems,

and interestingly it's one of the main targets of alternative healers

for cancer (don't ask about the coffee enema! - but they say it clears

a bad headache in minutes)
