Migraine – the biggest headache!

Migraine is known to be the most undertreated of all medical disorder or neurological conditions in the world today.  It is quite an ancient medical condition as history has it that in the year 1500 BC, Pharaoh’s court in Egypt provided the first description of long hours of headache with nausea and vomiting.  Though the latest research and medicine has brought relief to some extent for this condition, the main cause of migraine is yet to be ascertained.

Migraine is known to affect the women three times more than women.  For those get it constantly, the need to pay proper attention to the things which is known to trigger this condition.  Wine, smoking, nuts, food rich in nitrate, too much stress and hormonal imbalance are the mechanisms which bring forth this condition. Fasting has also seemed to be one of the reason which starts off this condition.   It is important to eat a balanced diet which is high in antioxidants. Sufficient rest and exercise are very important to prevent the onslaught of this terrible painful condition.

There are many over the counter medication to reduce the affects of migraine but none to cure.  There are some alternative treatments too if one needs to avoid the side effects of all the pills.  Chiropractice, yoga, acupuncture and herbal medicines have helped some patients in dealing with this condition. Massaging with essential oils is also known to sooth and reduce the effects of this condition.  Also people have found it a cheaper option to the treatment by the doctors.

An advanced and recent study started by the North Central Mississippi Cancer Center in Greenwood, MS, association with Dr Arnold Smith and which was continued by the Life Extension Foundation, brought about an innovative treatment which has cured many patients of migraine. During this treatment the, lipid profile of each patient has to be taken, after which they were put into the complete treatment program.  This program consists of four components.  They are:-

• Hormone restorative therapy
• Correction of imbalance in the nervous system
• Resetting of the pineal gland
• Improvement in the intestinal absorption

It must be understood that these four components cannot be separated and have to be done together to get the right result.   It was very relieving to know that the patients who underwent this program had a 100% success rate.  This truly indicates that migraine can not only be treated but cured too.
