Can MigreLief Help Cluster Headaches?

CLUSTER HEADACHES

We are often asked if MigreLief can also help with persistent, recurrent headaches in a temporal pattern such as Cluster Headaches. People with migraines often misdiagnose themselves with cluster headaches and many physicians tell their patients they have migraine/cluster headaches due to overlapping symptoms.

Intractable temporal headaches or Clusters are not as completely distinct from migraines as some would think (they are different, but there is some overlap in the disorders and treatments).

Because they respond (to varying degrees) to migraine medicines and don’t fit neatly in any box MigreLief theoretically could be a good fit. We have had some positive feedback from CLUSTER HEADACHE SUFFERERS.

If you suffer from cluster type headaches and would like to give MigreLief a try, be sure to use it for 90 days to give it sufficient time to address the underlying nutritional deficiencies and imbalances that many migraine/headache sufferers have in common. Positive results may occur in a much shorter time however.

Each bottle of MigreLief contains a one month supply. There is free shipping anywhere in the world for 3 or more bottles plus a money back guarantee if you are dissatisfied for any reason after 90 days of taking MigreLief.

Biggest Concerns on Migraine Prevention

Officially, you are considered a chronic migraineur if you experience the symptoms of migraine attacks 15 days or more a month and therefore a candidate for the various preventive migraine options that exist.

Of course this is somewhat of an arbitrary definition and who is to say that if you experience 12 days a month of debilitating pain and live on pain medications, that you also wouldn’t benefit from preventive therapies. Just to be sure, by preventive therapies I mean prescription medications or certain supplements that are taken on a daily basis to decrease the number of migraines you actually get, as well as the intensity and duration of the ones you do get.

If it has become obvious to you that taking pain relievers to treat the pain of your migraines, has become an all too frequent part of your month, then preventive options can sometimes, really improve the quality of your life.

The issue is that many migraineurs who have tried prescription preventive migraine drugs have experienced a range of side-effects, some of which are annoying enough to cause them to stop using these medications.

A list of just some of the side-effects associated with these various types of medications are *

Loss of sex drive
Memory problems
Speech problems
Unwanted weight gain or loss
Tightness in the chest
Dry mouth
Severe dizziness
Blurred vision

*Not every preventive medication has all of these side-effects.

Neurology studies and surveys such as the one published in the journal “Headache” and carried out by the Michigan Head Pain Neurological Institute have shown that patients want and need their physicians to explain the side-effects they may be exposed to when they need to make a choice as to what preventive options they are going to try.

The survey found that chronic migraineurs are even willing to take more than one preventive medicine if additional relief is noticed. Two of the biggest side-effect concerns amongst women migraineurs were weight gain and sleepiness.

After reading this information, if you feel that you are a candidate for targeted nutritional therapy, please go to www.migrelief.com and learn about a safe, affordable and low or no side-effect supplements.

MIGRAINE FACTS AND FIGURES

The word migraine comes from the Greek “hemicrania” and means “half-headed”, because of the stabbing or pulsating pain that is frequently experienced on one side of the head. Migraines date as far back as 4,000 years ago and are even referred to in biblical texts.
Migraine is the most common neurological condition in the developed world: it is more prevalent than asthma, epilepsy and diabetes combined.
The World Health Organization lists migraines 19th among the world’s most debilitating and disabling diseases.

Increase Risk of Migraine in Patients with Celiac Disease, Gluten Sensitivity, IBS

Increased risk of migraine in patients with Celiac Disease, gluten sensitivity and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis)

Previous studies disclosed the increased risk of experiencing migraines in patients with Celiac Disease. Now a study done at Columbia University Medical Center found that patients with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity or IBD had respectively higher increased risks of having migraines than people who didn’t suffer with these conditions, of 3.79, 9.3 and 2.66 times.

If you are a migraine sufferer and your physician feels that you exhibit symptoms that maybe associated with Celiac Disease, gluten sensitivity or Inflammatory Bowel Disease, speak to your doctor about exploring these possible diagnoses further. It is possible that correcting or improving these conditions, should you have them, may also improve your migraine status.

HOW DO CHRONIC MIGRAINES AFFECT THE SEX LIVES OF WOMEN?

While it is easy to understand that during and just after a migraine attack sex would not be on the mind of most women, researchers from Italy found that over all sex drive and desire is reduced in women who suffer with chronic migraines.

The researchers examined 100 women, with an average age of 40. The women gave in depth histories about their sex lives. It was found that these women experienced greater stress in general and specifically when it came to sex.

Previous studies have reported an association with migraines and depression (which is also known to negatively affect sexual desire and activity).

Reducing the number of and intensity of migraines, as opposed to taking pain pills, helps to reduce stress and concerns about when the next attack may occur.

Supplements Are Much Safer than Drugs, But DO THEY WORK?

PRESCRIPTION DRUG RECALLS, OVER THE COUNTER DRUG RECALLS, 100,000 + DEATHS FROM PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ANNUALLY… ZERO FROM SUPPLEMENTS.

There is presently, a legal case in Michigan, where the government is trying to force a family to use proven dangerous cancer medicines, on their child, for which safety and efficacy is not established. Though this doesn’t seem possible, read more about this here.

Equally as alarming is the vaccine industry’s that are pushing for mandatory participation in vaccine trials, even though it is a violation of the Nuremburg Medical Code. Could we actually be forced to be human lab animals in vaccine trials?

Medical treatment often times comes with substantial health risk. There is a medical/scientific term called “Iatrogenic” illness. Its definition is, “An illness or disease caused by medical treatment.” According to an article published in “Scientific American”, the number of deaths and hospitalizations caused by prescription drugs has risen precipitously. In fact an increase of 65% has occurred over the last decade.

The Florida medical examiners commission found that the rate of deaths caused by prescription drugs was 3 times the rate of deaths caused by ALL illegal drugs.

It is very conservatively estimated that over 100,000 Americans die each year from prescription drugs and that doesn’t count the hundreds of thousands of other patients who are hospitalized due to drug side-effects. For example, it is estimated that over 100,000 additional patients are hospitalized each year, just due to the side-effects of NSAID’s like aspirin, ibuprofen, Motrin, etc.

Statistics from the U.S. National Poison Data System put the TRUTH into perspective. Its 174 page report stated that the number of people killed in 2009 in America by vitamins, minerals, amino acids or herbal supplements was exactly ZERO.

There is no question that dietary supplements, in general, are much safer than prescription drugs. However on the other hand, prescription drugs are proven to help the condition for which they are approved and many dietary supplements, though safe, may not be effective and are often guilty of making outrageous claims for which there is little or NO proof.

Unfortunately, even herbs, herbal extracts or other dietary supplements that do have credible multiple double-blind studies demonstrating their safety and efficacy are still not allowed to claim any therapeutic or medical benefits, without first spending hundreds of millions of dollars to gain FDA approval to make said claims.

Surprisingly though, physicians can prescribe prescription drugs for “off-label use” for treatment of diseases and health conditions for which the drugs have never been tested or approved.

This article is meant to put into perspective some of the issues and pros and cons regarding the use of approved drugs and dietary supplements. It is NOT meant to slam conventional medicine and prescription drugs or suggest that dietary supplements can or should replace approved drugs. That would be irresponsible, especially in light of how difficult it is to get non-biased, truly scientific information about most dietary supplements.

There are life or death situations where we all should be thankful for the availability of certain prescription drugs that can absolutely save lives. The work done by physicians, and other healthcare professionals in emergency rooms throughout the U.S, is sometimes nothing short of miraculous.

In a life or death situation, I would never just rely on natural medicines to the exclusion of the proven life-saving drugs and techniques that physicians have mastered and make available.

On the other hand, those of us who have seen the incredibly therapeutic potential of properly formulated natural medicines in the hands of trained professionals, there is no doubt that these options can often restore health or improve function in many people who are looking for safe, relatively side-effect free, answers to their health challenges.

An excellent example of a proven nutritional medicine with impressive therapeutic benefits is the dietary supplement MigreLief. If you suffer with migraines that you have not been able to get under control, read the helpful information at www.migrelief.com.

[Report] MIGRAINE SUFFERERS AND COLICKY BABIES

The American Academy of Neurology recently issued a report stating that Moms who suffer with migraines are 2.5 times more likely to have colicky babies.

Colicky babies were defined as healthy babies who had unexplained periods of distress. The researchers stated that this early behavior may be a precursor to child and/or adult migraines.

It’s interesting to note that 29% of children whose mothers have a history or migraines were colicky and only 11% of other children. (That is close to 3 times as many colicky children in mothers who have a history of migraines).

A child is considered colicky if he/she cries continuously for 3+ hours a day, for 3+ days a week, for 3+ weeks. The colic is often thought to be caused by GI discomfort though there is little proof of this.

The study doesn’t prove that colicky children will definitely become migraine sufferers, but their tantrums will not help their migraine suffering moms.

Other researchers think that other non-headache symptoms like vomiting and vertigo may also be linked to the development of migraines later on.

It is known that there seems to be a genetic link with migraines as well. Even when fathers were asked about their migraine status, it turned out that 22% of colicky babies had a father with migraine history as opposed to only 10% whose father didn’t suffer with migraines. I assume it would be a double whammy if both parents are sufferers, but I didn’t see any data on that.

Migraine Increase in Men with Erectile Dysfunction

THE PRESENCE OF MIGRAINES IS INCREASED IN MEN WITH ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

An article published in the 2012 March edition of the headache journal Cephalalgia, discusses a Taiwanese study that found a correlation between having erectile dysfunction (ED) and also having been diagnosed with migraines.

In over 5000 patients with ED, the odds of having also been diagnosed were 63% greater than in men without ED, and this was after adjusting for other risk factors that are associated with ED like heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and alcohol abuse.

An interesting aspect of this research was that this increased risk of having been diagnosed with both migraine and ED increased from 63% to 98% in men between the ages of 30-39, an age group not usually associated with ED.

For men who suffer chronic migraines, the need to stop the pain and avoid a life of taking pain pills is enough motivation to explore options that prevent migraines. The possibility that migraines are somehow related to ED only provides another reason to explore all of the options

SIGNS THAT YOUR CHILD MAY BE SUFFERING FROM MIGRAINES

When a child has one sided throbbing head pain, that may or may not be accompanied by visual, motor or cognitive dysfunction, there is a chance that your child is suffering from migraines.

If your child has cycles of vomiting and nausea and possibly abdominal pain, that last for hours and recur every few months, it is possible your child is suffering from migraines, and a specialist may be need to confirm this diagnosis.

If you or your spouse suffers from migraines, there is a 45% chance that your child will. If both you and your spouse suffer with migraines, there is a 70% chance that your child will.

It has now been shown in a recent study published in the respected headache journal, Cephalalgia, 2011 that children who are migraine sufferers are much more likely than non-sufferers to have pressured or painful arteries on their scalp. In fact the sufferers were almost 250% more likely to have these pressured painful scalp arteries than non-migraine sufferers.

The arteries in question that were most often a source of the pressure pain were the frontal branch of the superficial artery and the superficial temporal artery itself before it splits and one part of it forms the frontal branch.

The superficial temporal artery runs up from the side of the neck (near the carotid artery) in front of the ear and can be felt around the temple. The frontal branch of this artery runs upwards to the forehead and can be felt on the side of the forehead.

I am providing this information so that you can make informed decisions about what may be causing your child to have symptoms like those described above. Please do not attempt to diagnose this condition by yourself because other serious conditions can cause similar side-effects.

If your child suffers any or all of these symptoms, it would be advisable to discuss them with your pediatrician and he or she will decide whether or not you need to consult a neurological specialist.

You Are Not Alone With Your Migraines…

THOUGH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DIDN’T PROTECT SHAWN “DIDDY” COMBS FROM BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR A SEVERE MIGRAINE ATTACK……..$20 MIGHT HAVE!

I recently read that there was a big party after the Emmy awards at the Playboy mansion. The article said that Shawn “Diddy” Combs, the record and entertainment mogul, was in attendance. During the party Combs fell victim to an extremely painful migraine attack and had to be taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Also this month, comedian Russell Brand was reported to have to leave the stage in the middle of a performance because he had a migraine attack that was just too debilitating.

It is not known to us if either of these two celebrities is chronic migraine suffers or just experienced a single, random migraine. Usually, but not always, attacks this severe are associated more with chronic migraine sufferers.

For those who are chronic and suffer with the question “When” as opposed to “If” the next attack will occur, prevention is the clear choice. Eliminate the threat of not knowing when the next attack will occur and what it will suddenly disrupt or what plans will have to be cancelled.

We have helped hundreds of thousands and we can help you too. Visit Migrelief.com for more information.

Professional athletes play through so much pain from injuries yet a “migraine” is enough to take them out of the game for days.

Terrell Davis MVP running back for the Denver Broncos, missed part of Super Bowl XXXII due to a migraine. Other footballers who suffer with migraines are Cleveland Browns, Marques Pope, Shawn Nelson of the Buffalo Bills stated “I can play through injuries but with a migraine, they are unreal, I can’t move!” Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin collapsed at practice and was hospitalized for a migraine.

Outside of football, Scottie Pippin of the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan’s teammate, made headlines when his team lost an Eastern Conference game because a migraine forced him to not play.

Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat is bothered by migraines so often that he tried wearing tinted lenses during games. (Special tinted lenses have been shown to help reduce the frequency of migraines in some people). Oddly enough, the NBA (in all of their medical wisdom) felt that his glasses weren’t necessary and banned him from wearing them.

Tennis player, Serena Williams is reported to suffer from menstrual migraines.

These are just some, of the many celebrities whose lives are disrupted by migraines. Now there is something that they and you, can do about it. No longer do you have to wonder and worry about when the next migraine attack will come.

For all of those who suffer with chronic migraines, “prevention is far superior to living on pain pills”. Preventing the pain from happening in the first place, is the most logical goal.

And now that goal is in reach. Please go to www.migrelief.com to learn about the solution that thousands of patients and physicians are using with enormous success.
