RECENT STUDY SUPPORTS THE LINK BETWEEN MIGRAINES AND DEPRESSION

December 11th, 2011

Migraines Depression RECENT STUDY SUPPORTS THE LINK BETWEEN MIGRAINES AND DEPRESSIONDr. Marc Siegel and Dr. David Samadi weighed in on Fox News Live this morning regarding a recent study that supports a connection between migraines and depression.  He stated, “90% of all headaches we have are migraines. It’s a very good study but we don’t know if it’s the fact that you have migraines that make you depressed… maybe your lifestyle changes, maybe it’s intractable, because you are so bothered by the headaches.  Or is there something that the migraine does to the brain that alters it and makes it more prone to depression?”

“It’s 80% more likely you’re going to get depressed if you have a migraine.  So the message for people out there is be on the lookout for depression if you get migraines,” Dr. Siegel concluded.

Dr. Samadi stated it was just an observational study, not cause and effect, nevertheless useful information.  “If you get migraines, talk to your physician because there could be signs and symptoms of hidden depression.”  The doctor can then discover the depression and treat both the depression and the migraines with medication at the same time he suggested.

Two things should be noted about this morning’s news cast commentary.

First of all 90% of all headaches are not migraines.  There are two types of headaches, primary and secondary.  90% of all headaches are known to be “Primary Headaches,” whose subcategories include tension-type headaches, cluster headaches and migraines, tension –type being the most common.

Primary headaches are merely headaches that are not caused by underlying medical conditions while secondary headaches are the end result of some other medical condition such as inflammatory headaches due to a brain tumor, infection, or trauma.

Secondly, I wanted to suggest that any migraine sufferers considering prescription drug treatment for both their migraines and depression should be aware of a possible danger known as “Seratonin Syndrome” which I’ll explain at the end of this article.

The study referred to by Fox News was a recent Canadian study that concluded that people who get painful migraine headaches may be at a higher risk for developing clinical depression.

According to Reuters Health, Dr. Peter Goadsby, professor of neurology and director of the Headache Center at the University of California, San Francisco, said research linking depression and migraine headaches goes back several decades. He called the study a “useful contribution” to existing research.

Geeta Modgill, lead author of the study and her group gathered data from the Canadian National Population Health Survey, which profiled over 15,000 people and followed up with them every two years between 1994 and 2007.

Overall, about 15 percent of the people in the study experienced depression and about 12 percent experienced migraines throughout the 12 years of the study.

Cases of depression were significantly more common among people who had migraines at the beginning of the study – 22 percent of migraine sufferers got depressed, versus 14.6 percent of those who didn’t have migraines.

That made participants with migraines 80 percent more likely than people without the headaches to develop depression, and the link held up after adjusting for other influences like age and sex.

People with depression were also 40 percent more likely to develop migraines than the non-depressed.  The association disappeared when the data were adjusted for stress and childhood trauma, however.

The study also cannot determine cause and effect for the link seen between depression and migraine.

The research, published in the journal Headache, also implies that the relationship may go both ways, and people with clinical depression could have a higher risk of developing migraines.  The researchers conclude that the finding could have been due to chance.

Despite no evident mechanism, Modgill said, “Something is going on here.”

Migraine and depression sufferers should know the signs of both ailments since each might be at a higher risk for the other condition.

WHAT IS A MIGRAINE?

The frequency and intensity of migraines can vary among sufferers but commonly is characterized by

  • a throbbing headache often localized to one side of the head.
  • intense head pain usually gradual in onset, then progressively more painful.
  • sometimes accompanied by a pronounced sensitivity to light and sound or nausea and vomiting.
  • a dull, deep and steady pain or throbbing and pulsating if severe
  • can occur any time of the day, through it often starts in the morning.
  • pain in the temples or behind one eye or ear, although any part of the head can be involved.
  • may be accompanied by a variety of sensory warning signs or symptoms, such as flashes of light, blind spots, temporary loss of vision or tingling in your hand or face (MIGRAINE WITH AURA)
  • pain lasting a few hours or up to one or two days,
  • occurrence varies – once or twice a week, or only once or twice a year.

 

WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

According to the DSM-IV, a manual used to diagnose mental disorders, depression occurs when you have at least five of the following nine symptoms at the same time:

  • a depressed mood during most of the day, particularly in the morning
  • fatigue or loss of energy almost every day
  • feelings of worthlessness or guilt almost every day
  • impaired concentration, indecisiveness
  • insomnia or hypersomnia (excessive sleeping) almost every day
  • markedly diminished interest or pleasure in almost all activities nearly every day
  • recurring thoughts of death or suicide (not just fearing death)
  • a sense of restlessness — known as psychomotor agitation — or being slowed down – retardation
  • significant weight-loss or gain (a change of more than 5% of body weight in a month)

 

Because of the migraine-depression connection, I wanted to bring up a topic I covered in an earlier MigreLief Blog Post – the danger migraineurs face when attempting to treat both depression and migraine headaches at the same time with prescription drugs.

WARNING:  ANTI-DEPRESSANTS AND MIGRAINE DRUGS -
POSSIBLY A LETHAL COMBINATION!

Migraine sufferers should be aware of the dangers of combining some anti-depressants with prescription migraine medications.  Unfortunately, the mechanism of action of many antidepressants is to increase serotonin (a feel good neurotransmitter) levels in the brain. Triptan drugs like Imitrex, which are used to reduce or end the pain of a migraine attack also work by stimulating serotonin receptors.

This combination of antidepressants and triptan migraine drugs, can lead to too much serotonin in the brain. This is not a good thing and can result in a potentially life-threatening condition known as “serotonin syndrome.”

In some people, just the use of triptans drugs such as Imitrex or Zomig alone can result in unhealthy levels of serotonin, leading to serotonin syndrome. This risk increases substantially if these people are also taking an antidepressant like Pristiq or any other of several antidepressants known either as SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or SNRI (serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors).

The symptoms of “Serotonin Syndrome” are:

Rapid heart rate and high blood pressure
Agitation or restlessness
Confusion
Dilated pupils
Loss of muscle control or twitching muscles
Heavy sweating
Diarrhea
Headache
Goose bumps
Shivering

In severe cases of serotonin syndrome life-threatening symptoms can occur:

High Fever
Seizures
Irregular heart beat
Unconsciousness

If you and your physician decide to use this combination of drugs, you must be monitored very closely for any of these signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome.

If your migraines are bad enough, your physician may decide to stop the antidepressant so that you can use the triptan drugs with less risk (though as mentioned above, they alone, in some users can cause serotonin syndrome).

A win-win solution for many migraine sufferers who are also suffering with depression is to switch to the all-natural migraine prevention supplement, MigreLief.  There is no additional risk of Serotonin Syndrome when using MigreLief.

Prevention is clearly the best option to a lifetime of treating the pain.

SOME SIMPLE HINTS ON HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF GETTING A MIGRAINE

November 18th, 2011

 

We just wanted to remind you about some helpful hints that can reduce your chances of developing a migraine:

    1. Stay well hydrated. An 8 ounce glass of water every couple of hours.
    2. Scents and odors can trigger migraines. Don’t hang around people who smoke and ask your fellow employees to go easy on the cologne of perfume. MigrainePerfume 294593 45 SOME SIMPLE HINTS ON HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK OF GETTING A MIGRAINE
    3. Bright or flickering lights can also trigger migraines.  If you work a lot on a computer use an anti-glare screen/filter.
    4. Healthy snacks every hour or so can prevent drops in blood sugar than can also serve as triggers to migraines.
    5. Pay attention to prodromal symptoms (symptoms like dizziness, visual or speech impairments) which occur prior to the pain of the migraine striking. Sometimes taking an ibuprofen during this period can prevent the full migraine from occurring.
    6. Small amounts of caffeine may help with migraine pain, but large amounts will cause more migraines to occur.
    7. If you suffer from several migraines a month, or have 15 or more headache days a month, you are a good candidate for preventive therapies. The best all-natural and proven one is MigreLief.   www.MigreLief.com

 

Lifetime Television “The Balancing Act” Interviews Curt Hendrix, Creator of MigreLief, Regarding Migraine Headache Relief

June 25th, 2011

Curt Hendrix, creator of MigreLief, is interviewed on Lifetime’s Balancing Act.

Mr. Hendrix discusses causes and treatment of migraines, especially as related to women who suffer from migraine headaches.

More than 30 million people in the US suffer from migraines, and more than three-quarters are women. The key is not to treat the symptoms, but prevent the severe headaches from ever forming. We’ll show you how to do it naturally.  Watch The Balancing Act interview below.

 

BENEFITS OF MIGRAINES?

June 21st, 2011

Could there possibly be benefits to getting migraines?

We don’t know if this will help you to feel better during your next migraine, but migraine sufferers are much less susceptible to breast cancer. A study published in the Journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention- in 2009, found that migraine sufferers are 26% less likely to get breast cancer.

What we do know will make you feel better is not getting migraines in the first place. For those of you new to the MigreLief community, remember, MigreLief is all about PREVENTION.   We believe in stopping the pain before it starts!

Tim’s Migraine Story – Inspiring!

May 26th, 2011

happy face1 150x150 Tims Migraine Story   Inspiring!We consistently receive many wonderful testimonials from MigreLief fans online, through emails as well as phone calls and “Thank You” letters via the old fashioned U.S. Postal Service.  

The positive feedback and touching stories encourage everyone of us, the MigreLief team at Akeso Health Sciences to strive harder towards our goal of making a difference and restoring quality of life to migraine sufferers world-wide. 

With permission we would like to share a recent testimonial given by the wife of a long-time migraine sufferer.

“TIM’S STORY”

~ My husband has suffered from chronic headache and migraines weekly since he was 18.  Trying anything and everything we could think of he has eliminated smoking, alcohol, dairy and caffeine, tried regulating sleep and eating patterns, tried a bite splint, acupuncture and taken drugs such as Topamax, Zomig, Zonisamide, Imitrex, and Maxalt.  He has seen Neurologists, Chiropractors and Acupuncturists.  Thinking that it might be the root cause he has had Septoplasty, turbinate reduction and a cervical fusion.  Nothing worked.

At Christmas time, he had 2 migraines that were worse than usual.  He started more research and found MigreLief.  Within a week his headaches were actually gone.

We held our breaths and it is now mid-May and he is doing beautifully.  He would tell you it has changed his life.  He no longer lives his life surrounded by pain. He’s had a few headaches but nothing Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen couldn’t take care of.

Now if you could just find a cure for Tinnitus (ringing in his ears)

You have made a HUGE difference in our family’s life.  Thank you.

Antidepressants & Migraines – A Potentially Dangerous Drug Combination

April 6th, 2011

A Potentially Dangerous Drug Combination:
ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND MIGRAINES

Taking antidepressants, like Pristiq, along with certain migraine medications can lead to dangerous and even life-threatening side-effects.

Many people who suffer from depression also suffer from migraine headaches. Unfortunately, the mechanism of action of many antidepressants is to increase serotonin (a feel good neurotransmitter) levels in the brain. Triptan drugs like Imitrex, which are used to reduce or end the pain of a migraine attack also work by stimulating serotonin receptors.

This combination of antidepressants and triptan migraine drugs, can lead to too much serotonin in the brain. This is not a good thing and can result in a potentially life-threatening condition known as “serotonin syndrome.”

Though not approved for migraine prevention by the FDA, some physicians recommend antidepressants like Pristiq, for this purpose. There is very little data supporting this recommendation and not insignificant risk if they are also used with the triptan drugs like Imitrex or Zomig.

In some people, just the use of triptans alone can result in unhealthy levels of serotonin, leading to serotonin syndrome. This risk increases substantially if these people are also taking an antidepressant like Pristiq or any other of several antidepressants known either as SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or SNRI (serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors).

The symptoms of “serotonin syndrome” are:

Rapid heart rate and high blood pressure
Agitation or restlessness
Confusion
Dilated pupils
Loss of muscle control or twitching muscles
Heavy sweating
Diarrhea
Headache
Goose bumps
Shivering

In severe cases of serotonin syndrome life-threatening symptoms can occur:

High Fever
Seizures
Irregular heart beat
Unconsciousness

If you and your physician decide to use this combination of drugs, you must be monitored very closely for any of these signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome.

If your migraines are bad enough, your physician may decide to stop the antidepressant so that you can use the triptan drugs with less risk (though as mentioned above, they alone, in some users can cause serotonin syndrome).

A win-win solution for many migraine sufferers who are also suffering with depression is to switch to the all natural migraine prevention supplement, MigreLief.

Prevention is clearly desirable rather than to constantly just treating the pain of migraines and there is no additional risk of serotonin syndrome when using MigreLief.

Knowledge is power.

Be well,

NEW MIGRELIEF REVIEWS! Patients Report on Their Experience with MigreLief Migraine Prevention Supplement

February 20th, 2011

MigreLief girl 21 NEW MIGRELIEF REVIEWS!  Patients Report on Their Experience with MigreLief Migraine Prevention SupplementMIGRELIEF USERS REVIEW MIGRELIEF 

A big thank you to all the neurologists and physicians recommending MigreLief to their patients and to the MigreLief users who constantly ”pay it forward” by recommending MigreLief to other migraine sufferers. 

 

HERE’S TO A MIGRAINE FREE LIFE FOR ALL!  

***********************************************************************************************************************

MIGRELIEF REVIEWS:

~ Some doctors think I may have two issues going on…migraine-associated vertigo and also a vestibular disorder (a problem with my ears also).   The Migrelief has definitely taken away my migraines.  So, because I may have two different problems going on I take the Migrelief for prevention of migraines but I also do vestibular rehabilitation therapy (exercises) at home for the dizziness/balance problem/lightheadedness.  Having both these problems has obviously caused double whammy for me for the last 24 1/2 years and I literally was home-bound for the majority of the time because I felt so awful, missed doing many things in life, but with finding that the Migrelief has taken away the migraines I am now able to function way better and do more things.  Again, thank you so much. You have actually given me my life back! I LOVE THE MIGRELIEF!!!    —Kathryn

 

~ I had migraines regularly, approximately three times a week, for at least 25 years. Once my doctor put me on Migrelief, the migraines have gone. I rarely have a migraine now. When I become aware of anyone experiencing migraines on a regular basis I always recommend Migrelief.

~ As a migraine sufferer for over 30 years, my neurologist recommended Migrelief.  After I tried it, I went from 15-20 migraines a year, to 2 or 3 a year.  I buy a 3 months supply and when I get near the end of the last bottle, I reorder.  I could never be without them again.  Anyone who has ever suffered with migraine headaches, knows that the pain is torture.  I am so grateful that I found “Migrelief”

~ I have had migraines since I was 16 years old.  My Headache Specialist, Dr. Ready (the best) recommended your product about a year ago, and it has been a God send!  MigreLief has reduced my headaches by at least half.  When I don’t take it– like if I run out, I am MISERABLE (like right now).  I have tried taking the vitamins separately– doesn’t work.  MigreLief is the way to go.  I still take a couple of scrips, but in 20 years I have never had the success that I am having now with your product! 

~ I had migraines regularly, approximately three times a week, for at least 25 years. Once my doctor put me on Migrelief, the migraines have gone. I rarely have a migraine now.

~ MigreLief has been of great relief in the treatment and prevention of migraines for me and my 11 year old son who hasn’t had an episode in over a year.

~ I was a chronic migraine sufferer for YEARS. The medications prescribed by my physician made me so out of it I could not function.  Therefore, I pretty much suffered thru them or just went to bed.  Not always an easy answer when you work and have children.  Thank you for creating MigreLief.

~ When I don’t take MigreLief, I get 3-4 migraines per week. Since starting it, my migraines have decreased by 50%. I feel good about taking vitamins rather than medications with scary side effects.

~ I have suffered from migraine headaches since I was 5 years old. A few years ago I was having one every other day and my husband would have to take me to the emergency hospital for a shot of Demerol.. I started taking the MigreLief and the headaches immediately stopped!

~ My son used to have headaches 24/7.  They are now not so frequent and less intense.

~ MigreLief has completely changed my life. I was a long time migraine sufferer and found prescription drugs to be not super effective and made me drowsy. My life was completely dictated by my migraines and I was miserable. Many doctors wanted to prescribe me daily medicines for prevention, but I didn’t want to put these lab created drugs into my body everyday for the rest of my life. I knew there had to be a better solution. A neurologist recommended MigreLief and within a week I felt dramatic changes. My migraines were literally gone. I was almost a daily sufferer, having migraines 4-5 times a week at least. I swear by MigreLief and consider it a miracle product.

~ I started taking MigreLief a few years ago because I was missing work and school due to migraines. My migraines have been cut by at least 50% and I only need my emergency migraine prescription once in a while.

~  Oh my gosh!…I have been taking MigreLief for a little over 2 years now and I have not had a debilitating migraine headache ever since I began taking it.  I won’t go a day without taking it.  I recommend it all the time. My cousin is a neurologist and I’ve got her recommending it now too!

~ MigreLief has given me my life back!  I was getting migraines 2-3 times a week.  It works better at preventing Migraines than the medical prescriptions I tried without the side effects.  Now, when I get a migraine, I take an aspirin and lie down for an hour.  Sometimes I need an ice pack, but usually that’s all it takes to get rid of it.  There are side benefits, my nails are stronger now.  That’s a win win situation.

~ MigreLief has helped a lot. I still have headaches, but nothing like they were before I started taking MigreLief. I forgot to take the Migrelief for a couple of days and I had a bad migraine so I do need to remember to take it everyday.

~ MigreLief has really helped me in the prevention of migraines.  If I run out of it and don’t have a spare bottle on hand, my migraines can easily come back.  It is the key to prevention of what was once debilitating, life altering hemiplegic migraines.  I recommend it all the time and have given it as gifts to fellow migraine sufferers. 

~ i have been taking MigreLief for almost two months. That plus stopped eating chocolate seems to have helped.  I wish you would sell it in the U.K.

~ It brought my attacks down from 4 days every month to 1 day every 8 weeks and that attack is usually very mild.

~ MigreLief really decreased the number and severity.  Probably only get one per month now vs. one or two a week.  The one I do get is not too severe.

~ I feel more balanced and in control. Since beginning MigreLief my migraines have dramatically decreased. (I just began my third month of taking MigreLief).

~ I went from 1 -2 migraines a month to 1 every six months.

~ MigreLief cut annual hormonal migraines by at least 75 percent, if not more. I know this to be true because I stopped taking MgreLief for about 8 months at one point. My migraines became more frequent and severe when I stopped. I started right back up, when my MD agreed that it was definitely helping. No question about it.

~ It has kept my migraines to a minimum, which has made life a lot easier to keep on schedule.

~ It has only been 2 months and I see a difference from taking MigreLief.  Not so intense and not so many.

~ Since taking MigreLief, my migraines have been dramatically reduced – and the ones I do get are so much less painful that I haven’t taken my Imitrex in two years!

~ MigreLief has given me my life back!  I was getting migraines 2-3 times a week.  It works better at preventing Migraines than the medical prescriptions I tried without the side effects.  Now, when I get a migraine, I take an aspirin and lie down for an hour.  Sometimes I need an ice pack, but usually that’s all it takes to get rid of it.  There are side benefits, my nails are stronger now.  That’s a win win situation, if you ask me.

~ It has helped me tremendously. I can tell the difference. My migraines are fewer and not as strong.

~ I take MigreLief in addition to my prescription meds.  I have not had a migraine lately.

I have fewer migraines.  When I do have a migraine it is less severe and not as long in duration

~ MIGERELIEF IS WONDERFULL. I WAS TAKING A PRESCRIPTION THAT MY DOCTOR GAVE ME FOR MY HEAD ACHES. NOW I DO NOT TAKE THEM MUCH!

~ I’ve had a lot fewer migraines since I’ve been taking Migrelief.  Thank you, Akeso!

I have suffered with migraines for over 20 years. In the last year I was getting them almost every day. I was on Topamax which made me feel like my brain was dying. I did some of my own research and that’s when I started on Magnesium and Feverfew. I then got the book about migraines and they told me to add B2. I came across MigRelief and Wow. I might have 3 headaches a month, no longer everyday.

~ I was a chronic migraine sufferer for YEARS. The medications prescribed by my physician made me so out of it I could not function.  Therefore, I pretty much suffered thru them or just went to bed.  Not always an easy answer when you work and have children.  Thank you for creating MigreLief.

~  Since finding out about MigreLief from my neurologist, I have become a completely different person.  I have been migraine free since February 2010 and have only experienced a couple of mild allergy related headaches in that time.

~ MigreLief has helped lessen both the frequency and the intensity of my daughter’s migraines.

~ It has helped reduce the number of onsets and has also helped my insomnia.   I worked as a Teachers Aid this year.  The teacher that I was assigned to struggled with migraines so I told her about the product as well as one of my son’s friends school classmates who developed migraines this year.

~ In lots of ways I suffered Migraines all my life.  It wasn’t until i found it on the net and decided to try it as anything is worth a go after I have tried everything.  Going by 1 month I found that my attacks were not so severe, and after that they were not so often.  I  have been taking MigreLief for many years now and found they are my little miracle pills.  It works better than anything else I have tried without side effects.  I recommend it all the time.

~ I have so many fewer migraines now, it’s crazy. I used to have 3 or 4 a week. Now I only have 2 or 3 a month!!

~ MigreLief has completely changed my life. I was a long time migraine sufferer and found prescription drugs to be not super effective and made me drowsy. My life was completely dictated by my migraines and I was miserable. Many doctors wanted to prescribe me daily medicines for prevention, but I didn’t want to put these lab created drugs into my body everyday for the rest of my life. I knew there had to be a better solution. A neurologist recommended MigreLief and within a week I felt dramatic changes. My migraines were literally gone. I was almost a daily sufferer, having migraines 4-5 times a week at least. I swear by MigreLief and consider it a miracle product.

~ MigreLief is absolutely amazing!!!!!

~ Both the frequency and intensity of my headaches have decreased significantly since I started using Migrelief last year.  And, when I do get a headache, I need much less medication to get relief.  Often, just a single Excedrin will be sufficient.

~ I have had migraines for over 30 years. The pharmacy that fills all of the pain meds for me asked me if I had ever tried MigreLief and I started using it twice a day about one year ago. I still have headaches but not as many.

~ I give MigreLief to my daughter who has Abdominal Migraines. MigreLief has helped with the dizziness she has when she has an episode.

~ It has been a Godsend!  I can honestly say that I have NOT had a full blown migraine since taking MigreLief.

~  Within 4 months, I had my life back.  I have gone from having 4-6 excruciating migraines per week to 1-2 per month!  I cannot believe how well Migrelief has worked for me.

~ MigreLief has completely changed my life. I was a long time migraine sufferer and found prescription drugs to be not super effective and made me drowsy. My life was completely dictated by my migraines and I was miserable.

I was almost a daily sufferer, having migraines 4-5 times a week at least. I swear by MigreLief and consider it a miracle product.  I have recommended MigreLief to friends and family. I gave a co-worker a bottle when I had put an order in about a year ago. And just within the last 2 weeks gave a bottle to my an extended family member’s husband to try because he has been suffering from migraines with no resolution for almost a year. I would recommend MigreLief to anyone who suffers from migraines, it has truly changed me life.

~ I have so many fewer migraines now, it’s crazy. I used to have 3 or 4 a week. Now I only have 2 or 3 a month! 

~ MigreLief  has decreased my migraines from one every 9 weeks to two a YEAR!!!

~ Both the frequency and intensity of my headaches have decreased significantly since I started using Migrelief last year.  And, when I do get a headache, I need much less medication to get relief.  Often, just a single Excedrin will be sufficient.

~ Prior to starting MigreLief well over 3 yrs. ago, I would get migraines up to 6 times a month and had since age 14. That was 50 years of suffering. When I began taking MigreLief my migraines reduced to only 1-2 a month and I had changed nothing else.  My migraines did not lessen during pregnancies, menopause or during hormone replacement therapy.  They come when things seem fine and don’t come when stressed or ill.  I think of all those years when no one could figure out why I was getting migraines, (other than my father had them his whole life) and it turns out I surely  was deficient in magnesium and likely in vitamin B.   Nothing puts me down like a migraine which means I cannot drive a car or go to work when I have one.  They are intense but nothing like the ones I’d get before Migrelief.  I have recommended it in the past and will continue to do so in the future.  I have shown people the empty bottle to help them recognize and locate this product.  And what I like is that there is no foul odor from the tablets, they are tasteless and they don’t repeat on me like many vitamins do.

~ MigreLief has really helped me in the prevention of migraines.  If I run out of it and don’t have a spare bottle on hand, my migraines can easily come back.  It is the key to prevention of what was once debilitating, life altering hemiplegic migraines.

~ The mere fact that a company is out there trying to help us poorly understood migraineurs, with a product is already a blessing.  Migrelief over time has definitely reduced my Migraines.

~ When I don’t take MigreLief, I get 3-4 migraines per week. Since starting it, my migraines have decreased by 50%. I feel good about taking vitamins rather than medications with scary side effects.

~ It has been a Godsend!  I can honestly say that I have NOT had a full blown migraine since taking MigreLief.

~ In combination with Topomax, my migraines have been reduced from daily to just a few times a month.

~ How hasn’t it?  Within 4 months, I had my life back.  I have gone from having 4-6 excruciating migraines per week to 1-2 *per month*!  I cannot believe how well Migrelief has worked for me!

~ MigreLief has really helped me in the prevention of migraines.  If I run out of it and don’t have a spare bottle on hand, my migraines can easily come back.  It is the key to prevention of what was once debilitating, life altering hemiplegic migraines.  I recommend it all the time and have given it as gifts to fellow migraine sufferers. 

~ I had migraines regularly, approximately three times a week, for at least 25 years. Once my doctor put me on Migrelief, the migraines have gone. I rarely have a migraine now. When I become aware of anyone experiencing migraines on a regular basis I always recommend Migrelief.

~ It really helped with my migraine headaches.  After taking for several months I didn’t get the headaches anymore.  However, now I’ve starting getting them on occasion again.

~ I have come from a non stop migraine for six years down to 3 or 4 a month.  My acupuncturist recommended you. 

Every time I hear some one mention their migraines I enter their conversation to recommend MigreLief.

~ I have suffered from migraine headaches since I was 5 years old. A few years ago I was having one every other day and my husband would have to take me to the emergency hospital for a shot of Demerol.. I started taking the MigreLief and the headaches immediately stopped!

~ From the very 1st tablet, my headaches have decreased almost instantly  Those I have recommended MigreLief to have gotten incredible results as well.

~ MigreLief has reduced the frequency and strength of my migraines.  Yes and I have!  My doctor was very pleased to hear that your product was helping me, so much.

~ Used to get terrible migraines.  Would head off to the chiropractor  all the time because that was the only relief except Excedrin Migraine and my stomach was having a hard time with that pain killer.  I have recommended to two friends who fight them all the time.  For them it runs in the family and they have been surprised how well it works.

At Last! Safe Relief For Children’s Migraines – The First Natural Migraine Supplement Just for Kids

December 29th, 2010

At Last! Safe Relief for Children’s Migraines!
The First Natural Migraine Supplement Just for Kids – Children’s MigreLief


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — MigreLief, the first name in migraine prevention, releases a safe and proven effective supplement for children of all ages:


One of the hardest things for a parent to do is to see their child in pain.  Yet every day millions of parents must watch helplessly as their children suffer from debilitating attacks.  About one out of every ten kids, or nearly 8 million children in the United States alone, are plagued by what has become the most common acute and recurrent headache pattern experienced by children today.

“Be it supplement, OTC drug or prescription drug, Children’s MigreLief is the first and only therapy developed specifically for children suffering from migraine headaches,” explains Curt Hendrix M.S. C.C.N, C.N.S., scientist and creator of Children’s MigreLief.  These often incapacitating experiences strike suddenly and often with accompanying symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting. Until now, the only option available was the use of side-effect prone prescription medications actually causing more migraines, known as rebound headaches. But Children’s MigreLief offers parents of children suffering migraines a safe nutritional option, with none of the potentially disruptive side-effects of prescription drugs.

Hendrix explains, “There is NOT one prescription drug approved by the FDA for use by children with migraines. The side-effects of these drugs are significant in adults and not an option most parents would want to subject a child to. Children’s MigreLief is the perfect solution… a vitamin, a mineral and a plant, all well known for their safety, efficacy and low side-effects to establish normal vascular function instead of a lifetime on pain killers and abortive drugs.”

MigreLief contains a patented “Triple Therapy” approach to reestablishing normal cerebrovascular tone and function that is disrupted in children who have migraines.  Nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, and vasospasm can independently and together contribute to migraine occurrence, frequency and intensity.  Children’s MigreLief contains the same “Triple Therapy” ingredients as MigreLief but with dosages and pill sizes adjusted to meet the needs of children.

MigreLief’s ingredients; Puracol, a proprietary blend of two unique Feverfew sources, Magnesium from two sources and high dose, highly absorbable Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) have all independently been shown to be of significant preventive benefit to chronic migraine sufferers.

All MigreLief products are available in select pharmacies and online at MigreLief.com.  For more information and product samples contact sales@akesohealth.com.
