Re: Headaches in a 10 year old

[Guest guest]

We have figured it out that sugars seem to trigger her headaches, for

sure, but she still gets them occasionally without any help from

sugar, and we can't figure out why. I think though, I may have her

keep a food diary so we can compare how she's doing on certain

foods. We don't eat very many processed foods around here, although

the kids do eat cereals, but never the sugary junk they sell to

kids. I have them eat Cherrios or Chex with honey and organic milk.

We eat multi-grain breads, sprouted if I can get it. Juices without

added sugars, sea salt, home grown meats when we can (just can't go

veggie) and home grown foods whenever possible. We can't afford to

go organic totally right now, but what I can do, I do. There has

been such a huge difference in all of us since we started this

lifestyle.

I am so full of questions this week it seems. My 10 year old daughter has been experiencing horrible headaches off and on lately. When they hit her, she is reduced to crying, cringing, very sensitive to the touch, and sensitive to light and sound. I have tried everything I know, which isn't much, to help, but they are much bigger than what I have had to deal with lately. Lavender on the temples, on her warm, wet washcloth, lots of water (I do think this is part of her problem, as she is dehydrated a lot, can't get her to remember to drink more), laying down for a while with the lights off. What else can I do????? Is there an herb that may help with the pain? Willow bark? or something alone these lines? Tea would be good, but I think tincture would be best as far as trying to get it down her, she has sensitive taste buds, and is more willing to take a "quicky" than be tortured with a whole cup of something.

She loves the infusion I make of garlic, with lemon and honey. We

all do, actually, and she would drink it daily if I would remember to

make it all the time. I will try this next time it flairs up, and

also get some feverfew and peppermint oil. I love both of these

anyway, so if it doesn't help her, no loss there.

Thanks!

My mother used to get violent migraines when I was young.. An old professor told her to start taking garlic - Back then it was tablets... she would take 12 a day...4 4 4 ... after about a month we all realized... mom was not having migraines... to this day she takes some garlic every day... She takes it with parsley for the smell.

Not like I do, but I am sure she does occasionally. It seems to be

more of a migraine type than sinus. She even says one side will hurt

and not the other. I have heard this about migraines also. I use

lemon in our garlic infusions so that will give her a double.

She does very rarely, eat chocolate, but I am a big meany mom who is

always saying NO! at the stores when they beg for candy.

=========================

Is she ever constipated or was she ever constipated for any period of

time? Almost all headaches, including migraines, are caused by faulty

elimination in the bowels which is why I am asking the above question.

She needs to be drinking tons more water, eating lots more fresh fruits

and fresh veggies. She can also use this formula when she gets a

migraine as can anyone. Very effective too I might add even if you can't

get Culver's Root.

1 teaspoonful of wormwood herb

1 teaspoonful of Culver's Root

1/4 teaspoonful of cayenne.

Steep the first two herbs for 20 minutes in 1 pint of boiling hot water

(not still boiling just boiling hot), strain and add in cayenne. 2

ounces as needed. This will not only move the bowels but clear the

migraine. I have used it, without the Culver's root as I could not

obtain it and it works really well. Store in a bottle in a cool place

like the refrigerator.

But are there herbs that can be used for pain? I get migraines because these danged wisdom teeth need to come out but I can't afford to get them out just yet. Nothing I can do to keep from getting them, but is there something to stop them?

==============================================

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 and soda, 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 and bifidus micro-blended with blue green algae. • Plant based enzymes 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. • Organically grown sprouted grains and grasses - a green mix powder. To reduce oxidative stress: • Coenzyme Q10 micro-blended with organic flax oil. • Wheat sprouts micro-blended with red algae and wild-crafted blue green algae. Drink 8 to 12 glasses of spring water (not tap water) daily. Or, drink half your weight, in ounces, per day. 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.

I've had success treating migraines with ceyanne, but don't know how it would work with a child. I'll check it out and let you know.
