Migraines

The information in this page about migraines, natural medicine, treatment and cure is NOT a sales pitch for any drug, supplement, herbal formula or even an alleged magic potion from an exotic faraway land.

Food is always best medicine

Migraines are severe bouts of headaches. Migraines are often debilitating causing the patient to remain in bed for days. Migraines is often associated with other symptoms and ailments such as vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and joint aches. Migraines is often exacerbated by exposure to sunlight and extreme weather. Migraines is not only painful but frustrating because migraines sufferers are often told that its causes are unknown and medicine has not found a cure yet. Long standing migraines illness often brings on bouts of depression and lethargy.

According to western medicine, migraines cause is yet unknown and science has not developed a cure yet. There are only pain killers and sometimes strong anti-depressant drugs are prescribed for migraines sufferers.

It is true that migraines causes can vary. Sometimes a long standing GI tract infection can cause migraines. Sometime toxic chemical accumulations can lead to migraines. Iridology is particularly helpful in determining the underlying cause of migraines. Since migraines occurs in the head (the most YIN part of the body), migraines is an extreme YIN illness. You can read more about the relation between Migraines and YIN and YANG in the seven laws of the universe.

Food is best medicine. Once the right diet has been followed, and depending on the root cause of migraines, most cases recover from migraines  within a few days, almost magically. This happens especially when migraines is associated with GI tract disturbances. Other migraines patients take a little longer, depending on the root cause of their migraines case. When migraines is caused by toxic accumulation in the body, some sea weeds can remove these toxins quickly. But all migraines patients get cured completely eventually on the right diet. We have treated hundreds of migraines patients with the proper diet alone and they all have been cured completely of their migraines. Once migraines has been cured, all psychological disturbances associated with it, disappear gradually and the patient regains vitality and alertness.

Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To cure migraines you do not have to eat Japanese foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what eating and living habits have led you to develop migraines. And then macrobiotics will help you determine what foods you will have to eat in order to cure migraines. Read: If macrobiotics means eating locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese foods? If you are a migraines patient and tried macrobiotics (particularly the #7 diet) but found it did not work for you, then the foods you have selected are not appropriate for your condition. Please read: The standard macrobiotic diet does not work for some people. Why?

It is true that food is best medicine for migraines. But some foods help cure migraines and some can make the condition worse. The food pyramid is only a general guideline and does not provide any specific information in the natural treatment of migraines.

Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet plan for migraines there is no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can have severe adverse side effects on a migraines patient when taken randomly or in large doses, and we strongly advise against taking any vitamin and mineral supplements for all migraines patients until they are completely cured. Vitamin C, which is considered a healthy supplement, is a YIN vitamin. Migraines is also a yin illness. That is why vitamin C will actually bring on a migraines episode. And beware of alleged miracle cures in far away lands.
