migraines

March 21, 2001

Hi all -

I also experienced migraines before my period

beginning when I was 38. They got so severe that I

was incapacitated for much of the month, including

tunnel vision. Treatments that helped me included a

low dose of beta blockers (which I also take for

mitral valve prolapse), feverfew, and acupuncture. I

stopped the feverfew when I realized it is a

salicylate, which I'm allergic to. But I haven't had

any migraines since I started taking Celexa, an

antidepressant, for my FM pain.

Best, Jennie

n and Mike,

My migraines. . . . my killer migraines are from hormonal changes, from

certain physical stress (like sitting in one position too long--I think

it's a cervical spine thing because that's where the pain starts; I

message it and it's of no value for in a short bit I have a migraine);

from not eating when hungry (a biggie with me, but this varies with what

I don't know--that is, there have been times in my illness I could ignore

being hungry and not get a migraine but now I'm like an infant, where the

migraine is the baby's howl, meaning I have to rearrange my schedule and

my life so I can get lunch (especially lunch--it's a mess); And also

foods trigger migraines, but not chocolate!!!

And sometimes worry-stress big time type, with anger and fear involved.

I don't know if the more proximate cause here is muscle contraction or

something chemical.

Hi, , Laurie & all,

I used to have migraines in clusters (3-4 within a week, then nothing for

2-3 mo). This was on top of everyday headaches - & I do mean every day.

I used Imitrex (nasal spray - also comes as an injection) with pretty good

results.

More recently I started taking Neurontin (gabapentin), 100mg 3X/d, and have

found that it virtually eliminated my headaches. I haven't had a migraine

since I started it, over 6 mo ago. 300 mg/d is a fairly low dose for this

drug - some go up to 900mg/d. I would recommend starting low, and ramp up

only if needed.

Neither of these has salicylates, so either or both might work to eliminate

migraines. I don't know about taking the Neurontin part-time if you wanted

to just use it around your period, but that might be worth a try.

Migraines

Duncan & folks

Thanks for the info on CS, but the amt I had taken was too much and

created excessive diarrhea to the point that I couldn't walk because of

tiredness.

The migraines lessened because, as in the past, whenever I had the

flu or diarrhea they would change as if my body was busy with another

problem. But the cure has not occurred even with BEing and Pulsing &

CS. The migraines start at the back of my neck and move forward to the

top of my head. Does anyone know what this could be related to? If so,

what do you recommend?

Hi Joan,

Just a hunch but are you taking anything with Aspartame in it which can cause

headaches and change brain chemistry? Below was posted on the Colloidal

Silver list this morning.

WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE and the MULTIPLE

SCLEROSIS FOUNDATION & FDA IS SUING FOR COLLUSION WITH MONSANTO.

> > > > > >

> > > > > > Article written by Betty i

> > > > > >

I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on

ASPARTAME: Marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and

'Spoonful.'

> > > > > >

In the keynote address by the EPA, they announced that there was an epidemic

of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, and they did not understand what

toxin was causing this to be rampant across the United States.

> > > > > >

I explained I was there to lecture on exactly that subject. When the

temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME

coverts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes

metabolic acidosis. (Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire

ants.) The methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis; thus, people were

being diagnosed with having multiple sclerosis in error. The multiple

sclerosis is not a death sentence, where methanol toxicity is.

> > > > > >

In the case of systemic lupus, we are finding it has become almost as rampant

as multiple sclerosis, especially in Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. Also,

with methanol toxicity, the victims usually drink three to four 12 oz. cans

of them per day, some even more. In the cases of systemic lupus, which is

triggered by ASPARTAME, the victim usually does not know that the aspartame

is the culprit.

The victim continues its use aggravating the lupus to such a degree, that

sometimes it becomes life threatening. When we get people off the aspartame,

those with systemic lupus usually become asymptotic. Unfortunately, we cannot

reverse this disease. On the other hand, in the case of those diagnosed with

Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most

of the symptoms disappear. We have seen cases where their vision has returned

and even their hearing has returned. This also applies to cases of tinnitus.

During a lecture I said " If you are using ASPARTAME [NutraSweet,

Equal,Spoonful, etc.] and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms,

shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches,

tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred

vision, or memory loss, you probably have ASPARTAME DISEASE! " People were

jumping up during the lecture saying, " I've got this. Is it reversible? "

It is rampant. Some of the speakers at my lecture were even suffering from

these symptoms. In one lecture attended by the Ambassador of Uganda, he told

us that their sugar industry is adding aspartame! He continued by saying that

one of the industry leader's son could no longer walk due in part to product

usage! We have a very a serious problem.

> > > > > >

Even a stranger came up to Dr. Espisto,(one of my speakers) and myself and

said, " Could you tell me why so many people seem to be coming down with MS? "

> > > > > >

During a visit to a hospice, a nurse said that six of her friends, who were

heavy Diet Coke drinkers, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond

coincidence. Here is the problem. There were Congressional Hearings when

Aspartame was originally included as a sweetener in 100 different products.

Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, but to

no avail.

> > > > > >

Nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.

> > > > > >

Now there are over 5,000 products containing this chemical, and the PATENT

HAS EXPIRED!!!!

> > > > > >

At the time of this first hearing, people were going blind. The methanol in

the Aspartame converts to formaldehyde in the retina of the eye. Formaldehyde

is grouped in the same class of drugs as cyanide and arsenic - DEADLY

POISONS!!! Unfortunately, it just takes longer to quietly kill, but it is

killing people and causing all kinds of neurological problems.

> > > > > >

Aspartame changes the brain's chemistry. It is the reason for severe

seizures. This drug changes the dopamine level in the brain. Imagine what

this drug does to patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease.

> > > > > >

This drug also causes birth defects. There is absolutely no reason to take

this product. It is NOT A DIET PRODUCT! The Congressional record said, " It

makes you crave Carbohydrates and will make you FAT. " Dr. stated that

when he got patients off aspartame, their average weight loss was 19

pounds per person.

> > > > > >

The formaldehyde stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and

thighs. Aspartame is especially deadly for diabetics. All physicians know

what wood alcohol will do to a diabetic. We find that physicians believe that

they have patients with retinopathy, when in fact, it is caused by the

aspartame. The aspartame keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing

many patients to go into a coma.

> > > > > >

> > > > > > Unfortunately, many have died. People were telling us at the

conference of the American College of Physicians, that they had relatives

that switched from saccharin to an aspartame product and how that relative

had eventually gone into a coma. Their physicians could not get the blood

sugar levels under control. Thus, the patients suffered acute memory loss and

eventually coma and death. Memory loss is due the fact that aspartic acid and

phenylalanine are neurotoxic without the other amino acids found protein.

Thus it goes past the blood brain barrier and deteriorates the neurons of the

brain.

> > > > > >

Dr. Blaylock, neurosurgeon, said, " The ingredients stimulates the

neurons of the brain to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. Dr.

Blaylock has written a book entitled " EXCITOTOXINS: THE TASTE THAT KILLS "

> > > > > >

Health Press 1-800-643-2665). Dr. H. J. , diabetic specialist and

world expert on aspartame poisoning, has also written a book entitled

" DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE " (1-800-814-9800). Dr. tells how

aspartame poisoning is escalating Alzheimer's Disease, and indeed it is. As

the hospice nurse told me, women are being admitted at 30 years of age with

Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Blaylock and Dr. will be writing a position

paper with some case histories and will post it on the Internet.

> > > > > >

According to the Conference of the American College of Physicians, " We are

talking about a plague of neurological diseases caused by this deadly

poison. " Dr. realized what was happening when aspartame was first

marketed. He said, " His diabetic patients presented memory loss, confusion,

and severe vision loss. " At the Conference of the American College of

Physicians, doctors admitted that they did not know. They had wondered why

seizures were rampant (the phenylalanine in aspartame breaks down the seizure

threshold and depletes serotonin, which causes manic depression, panic

attacks, rage and violence). Just before the Conference, I received a fax

from Norway, asking for a possible antidote for this poison because they are

experiencing so many problems in their country.

> > > > > >

This " poison " is now available in 90 PLUS countries worldwide. Fortunately,

we had speakers and ambassadors at the Conference from different nations who

have pledged their help.

> > > > > >

Take the " NO ASPARTAME " TEST " and send us your case history.

> > > > > >

I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.

They fund the American Association, American Dietetic Association Congress,

and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. The New York Times,

November 15, 1996, ran an article on how the American Dietetic Association >

> > takes money from the food industry to endorse their products. Therefore,

they

cannot criticize any additives or tell about their link to MONSANTO.

> > > > > >

How bad is this? We told a mother who had a child on NutraSweet to get off

the product. The child was having grand mal seizures every day. The mother

called her physician, who called the ADA, who told the doctor not to take the

child off the NutraSweet. We are still trying to convince the mother that the

Aspartame is causing the seizures. Every time we get someone off of

aspartame, the seizures stop. If the baby dies, you know whose fault it is,

and what we are up against. There are 92 documented symptoms of aspartame,

from coma to death. The majority of them are all neurological, because the

aspartame destroys the nervous system.

> > > > > >

> > > > > > Aspartame Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some

of the

mystery of the Desert Storm health problems. The burning tongue and other

problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the

consumption of Aspartame product. Several thousand pallets of diet drinks

were shipped to the Desert Storm troops. (Remember heat can liberate the

methanol from the aspartame at 86 degrees F.) Diet drinks sat in the 120

degree F Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets. The servicemen and women

drank them all day long. All of their symptoms are identical to aspartame

poisoning. Dr. says consuming Aspartame at the time of conception can

cause birth defects. "

> > > > > >

According to Dr. Louis Elsas, Pediatrician and Professor of Genetics,at Emory

University, In his testimony before Congress. The phenylalanine concentrates

in the lacenta, causing mental retardation. In the original lab tests,

animals eveloped brain tumors, phenylalanine breaks down into DXP, a brain

tumor agent.) When Dr. Espisto was lecturing on aspartame, one physician in

the audience, a neurosurgeon, said, " When they remove brain tumors, they

have found high levels of aspartame in them. " Stevia, a sweet food, NOT AN

ADDITIVE, which helps in the metabolism of sugar, which would be ideal for

diabetics, has now been approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA for

years, the FDA has outlawed this sweet food because of their loyalty to

MONSANTO.

> > > > > >

If it says " SUGAR FREE " on the label - DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

Senator Hetzenbaum wrote a bill that would have warned all infants,

pregnant mothers and children of the dangers of aspartame. The bill would

have also instituted independent studies on the problems existing in the

population

(seizures, changes in brain chemistry, changes in neurological and behavioral

symptoms). It was killed by the powerful drug and chemical lobbies, letting

loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting public. Since the

Conference of the American College of Physicians, we hope to have the help of

several world leaders.

Hi Joan,

Sometimes we just seem to grasp in the dark trying to figure out what's

wrong with us. I'm just wondering, do you think it's possible you might

have lymes? I know Spiroflx seems to think I do. One of the symptoms is

pain or in the neck. I'm starting to think along those lines. That's why

I " m doing the liver clease and the zapping. I feel so badly for you. Just

hope and pray you will find something that will help.

God Bless,

Gail

Hi Joan;

My ozone therapy course has taught me that migraines respond to the therapy.

You need an oxygen-fed ozone generator, oxy tank, regulator and tubing for

vaginal or rectal insufflation, and if you can afford it, an ozone steam

cabinet for through-the skin ozone applications.

You can verify the information with instructor Saul Pressman on the

group ozonetherapy. Instructions are provided with the complete kit,

which will cost about $6000 US.

There are a couple of other manufacturers but Saul's generators carry a

lifetime warranty and can not produce the dangerously high (corrosive)

levels of ozone the others can.

ciao

Hi Joan,

I know what these things do but don't know if they will help or make worse the migraines. Want to learn about migraines.

Pycnogenol somehow makes red blood cells more round and smooth and improves oxygenation thereby. It also dilates capillaries thereby improving oxygen to the extremities. It does more. Avery has published two small books by Dr Passwater PhD on the subject of Pycnogenol. Passwater lists all the research, which is considerable.

The magnetic pulser and the magnetic pillow are quite different. The magnetic pillow makes red blood cells let go of each other and point toward the magnet as they are flowing through the head on the pillow. This has the effect of making the red blood cells more "slippery" and therefore better able to get to all the nooks and crannies of the body. We call it improved blood circulation. The magnetized iron in the red blood cells makes the red blood cells stick to each other.

One of the reasons why it is recommended that people who tend to have more iron in their bodies than they need --- most Western-European-descent white people who are not found to be anemic by their physician --- should donate blood at least three times per year and avoid supplements with iron in them.

My son-in-law, who suffers from migraines, says he was told that improvement in blood circulation in the brain is just what he should not seek. I don't understand.

I am told that Dr Hulda says migraines are due to parasites.

The air purifier that I use ionizes and ozonates the air and has an electrostatic filter on it. It gets rid of fungi and dust mites etc through ionization and adds more oxygen to the air by ozonation, thereby improving oxygen level in one's cells.

Migraines

To improve the red blood cells and oxygenation of the cells of the body, a certain brand of Pycnogenol has helped me and others I know. I now believe that maybe a magnetic pillow combined with an air purifier nearby that ozonates as well as ionizes may help some migraine sufferers. But have not tried it yet. Have you tried any of this? : Thank you for the insight and time spent on my situation. As you are aware with your wealth of valuable knowledge, migraines are mysterious and fleeting one moment and intense the next. BTW: Did you know that "The Hours" by Cunningham documents Virginia Woolfe's battle with migraines which led to suicide. In my case, I believe this is genetic passed down by my mother, but I choose not to lie in bed and suffer for my life. I have opted to try Fever few leaves for 4 months to evaluate its success. Much has been documented regarding this herb which must be in purest form-- ergo leaves. I have not tried the magnetic pillow, but does not the Magnetic pulser applied to the neck and scalp have the same effect? Air purifier is something else I have not tried, why would this be helpful? Also, pycnogenol, what is it and what does it do? I truly appreciate your help.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Migraines Headaches

During the first phase of a Migraine Headache blood flow may be reduced

by an average of 36%. The specific symptoms that are experienced as a

result of this reduced —such as visions of flashing lights—depend on

which area of the brain is affected. Reduced blood flow results in a lack of

oxygen in the tissues, along with changes in the brain's chemistry. This, in

turn, causes the release of substances that greatly dilate the blood

vessels. Local tissue injury can swelling occur as a result. It is at this

time Migraine pain strikes the patient starts to breathe pure oxygen at

between 1.3 and 1.75 atmospheres absolute. Occasionally, a pressure of 2

atmospheres absolute may be needed. Increased amounts of oxygen in the blood

raise oxygen levels in the brain tissues, even when contracted blood vessel

reduce blood flow. Many Migraine Patients who receive HBOT find that the

interval between attacks is significantly increased. Because Administered

oxygen constricts the blood vessels while oxygenating the tissues, HBOT can

reduce the swelling by as much as 50% This aborts the symptoms. In a study

by Dr Fife and Dr Caroline Fife MD, HBOT was given to 26 patients

who had migraine headache Pain. Pressures between 1.3 an 2.4 atmospheres

absolute were used. All but one patient obtained complete relief of Migraine

symptoms within Minutes of Exposure, including two patients who had

temporary paralysis on one side of the face before HBOT treatment.

• Relief of symptoms can occur as quickly as 5 minutes after the migraine.

Hi to everyone,

I have a dear girlfriend who suffers from migraine headaches, to a

point where she can't work and is on disability. She is truly

disabled. She has so few good days. She has tried so many healing

modalities, dietary changes (abstaining from dairy, wheat, sugar,

white stuff) etc etc. Psychotherapy for the mind body connection.

Just about every drug available, not to mention acupuncture,

therapeutic massages, on and on.

Sometimes she gets a slight reprieve and then whammo. She's back in

bed. I keep thinking that there must be an oxygen based treatment

that is worth trying, whether it is ozone sauna, or whatever. SAUL,

PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS ON AS WELL. Does anyone have some insight

and/or advice to offer. This is so sad.

Sandy, is she into holistic living and still on an appropriate diet (i.e..

sugar, yeast free diet, nothing fermented,etc.) avoids chemicals, has done a

thorough colon and parasite cleanse, then gone after cleansing the kidneys and

liver? I used to have these kinds of migraines and when I got into treatment

for Multiple chemical sensitivities they went away (it took a couple of years or

so of being good and following the protocol). My heart goes out to her. They

are horrible. Healing quite often takes a lot longer that we think it should,

did she allow for this? For me the drugs in the long run made my headaches a

lot worse. I believe the trick is often to get and keep our bodies detoxed.

This seems to create an environment inside of us where " dis---ease " cannot

thrive so it has to leave and over a period of time symptoms begin to dissipate.

For us it definitely took alot of time, sacrifice, commitment and patience. We

just need to find what works for us as individuals. I'm just throwing stuff out

there as it rolls through my head. Both of you must be so frustrated, I can

only imagine. Good luck.

Sandy,

I see some great responses here already. One more thing-------have her

get her estrogen/progesterone levels checked. Unbalanced estrogen levels

are the cause of far too many migraines (my daughter is one such

sufferer).

High estrogen levels will adversely affect oxygen levels (causing

greater oxygen demand) and also are very negative for the thyroid.

Sandy, one of our friends used to have terrible, dibilitating migraines.

For some time, I thought it had to with parasites. I don't remember what

Dr. reports finding was the cause but I'd read her book at do what she

says. I think it'll work. Obie.

Hi Sandy

I sold some of our own Colon Cleanse to the locals with chronic heahace.

Their feedback was some massive headaches initially.

After that, all should be fine. Look into the diet issue too.

excerpt from:

ermfatigue.html

Riboflavin-5-phosphate plays a central role in reactions

occurring in the mitochondria, the energy centers of cells.

It also can greatly reduce severe headaches commonly associated

with relentless fatigue. In fact, a recent study indicated that

supplementing with this nutrient can reduce migraines by more

than 50% (Schoenen 1998).

-- Schoenen, J. et al. (1998). " Effectiveness of high-dose

riboflavin in migraine prophylaxis. A randomized controlled

trial. " Neurology; 50(2): 466-70.

Riboflavin-5-phosphate is coenzyme vitamin B2.

One brand is Source Naturals.

Jim,

In this circumstance, neat is an understatement. It has happened

that she has been asked to go off all her meds to try something new.

Sadly, she didn't feel that was possible. She felt she could end up

in the hospital. It is safe to assume that Prams also do not interact

with other drugs?

Thank you

Sandy

I read somewhere that a 1200 mg cap of lecithin daily has helped many people

say goodbye to migraines. If you try this and it works please let me know. I

have recommended it to 1/2 dozen or so people and no one has bothered to try

it. I don't understand it. A pack of cigarettes at $5 a day to slowly kill

ourselves is ok, but a $40 per year possible cure is too much risk for these

people.

God Bless,

Jeanne
