Can be the result of nutritional deficiencies, especially magnesium, B6 and fatty acids (Omega 3), and poor digestion. Migraines can be the result of flavor enhancers such as MSG and Aspartame, which overloads the brain cells and causes their demise. Plus try 500 milligrams of magnesium lactate or gluconate for 1 week, then switch to 200 milligrams a day thereafter.
Additionally, not enough fiber in the diet can cause migraines. Toxins build up in the body and without regular excretion the toxins and cholesterol remain. Take Metamucil or ground flaxseed with water first thing in the morning. Otherwise, eat lots of fruit, especially apple a day, raw carrots daily.
Calcium (1,000 mg daily) with 500 mg magnesium and 500 mg of vitamin D also can prevent headaches.
A study of 49 people taking 400 mg of riboflavin daily for 3 months had a 67% reduction in migraine attacks. Additionally, Vitamin B2 in another study reduced the attacks by 50%.
Sugar latent foods cause blood sugar levels to rise sharply and then crash. The result is a headache. Good carbs like pasta metabolizes slower for energy but white bread and junk food produce the sugar rush.
Supplements:
• Magnesium 200 mg 3x daily
• Riboflavin 400 mg daily for 3 months
• #5-Hydroxytryptophaan (5-HTP) 100 mg 3x’s daily – prevents migraines by effecting seratonin levels increasing circulation and endorphin levels (natural painkiller).
• Omega 3- Fish oil and flaxseed combo – improves circulation and reduces inflammatory prostag landins that contribute to migraine attacks
• Vitamin B6 – 50 mg daily increases seratonin which is a neurotransmitter
• Calcium 10000 mg daily
• Full Spectrum Enzyme or Digestive Enzymes before each meal
Phlebitis:
Need nutritional support for the liver. If the liver becomes congested the vein system backs up, puts pressure on veins, and damages the valves in the veins. Take milk thistle daily to provide a protective coating in the liver plus dark fruits like blueberries (1-cup daily), also vitamins B & C.
Some of the same circulatory suggestions for migraines will also help in circulation for Phlebitis are outlined below:
• Bromelain (found in pineapple) reduces inflammation, helps prevent blood clots 500 mg 3x’s daily.
• Vitamin C 8000 mg daily strengthen vein walls.
• High potency multi-vitamin
• An herb called Go To Kola 60 mg daily (make sure product has Triterpenic acids). Helps strengthen vein walls.
