Eliminate Migraine Headaches—Naturally

Dear Readers,

In this issue, we will begin with a discussion of how to prevent and treat migraine headaches. This is actually a fairly easy thing to do naturally, but this is ignored in favor of expensive pharmaceuticals and procedures. Recently, when I was on CNN, the segment before mine was on doing major surgery removing face muscles to decrease migraine headaches by 50%. Since it's tacky to talk about other people's segments when on national news, I had to bite my tongue and not mention the research showing that ten cents worth of Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) a day decreases migraines by 67%! Riboflavin is one of many easy, natural ways to prevent most migraines in just 6 weeks.

RESEARCH BRIEFS

Those with Fibromyalgia know how our sensory system is on overdrive so that normal touch hurts. Several recent studies show that this not only occurs with touch, but also with sound (one reason for the sound and light sensitivity in some of those with Fibromyalgia) and even bladder signals (with associated frequent urination). The first study below also shows that migraines, which are often seen in association with Fibromyalgia, are also associated with hypothalamic dysfunction. The good news is that all of these problems often resolve after treating your Fibromyalgia with the "SHINE Protocol."

Hypothalamic Dysfunction

Fibromyalgia has hypothalamic dysfunction (like blowing a fuse) as a key part of the illness. New research shows the hypothalamus is also involved in migraine headaches. For those of you interested in the science of hypothalamic dysfunction: Read more »

Altered Sensitivity to Sound in Fibromyalgia

Nerve Changes Seen in Skin of People with Fibromyalgia

New research is suggesting that in addition to muscle pain, Fibromyalgia pain also comes from nerve irritation (neuropathy). This is another reason why medications that help neuropathy pain can be helpful for severe and stubborn Fibromyalgia pain. You can be Pain Free! Read more »

QUOTE/JOKE OF THE WEEK

The Love Story of Ralph and Edna

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"
