I never terminated my effort in eliminating migraines, i.e., no monosodium glutamate, nitrates, etc. After having a migraine I would think through very carefully what I had done or eaten. We aren't exclusively speaking of magnesium are we?brlenox wrote: ↑April 11th, 2017, 9:41 pmI'm betting that you actually have a list of things that trouble you in terms of health. That we are speaking of magnesium specifically shouldn't exclude that there are contributive factors in a majority of illnesses. I would guess you might have one of the increasingly more common auto immune diseases which compound health issues greatly. However, as in all things there are factors that are related to the autoimmune diseases that are increasing.
Were I you and genuinely interested in trying some of the ideas, I would think it through to a solution as opposed to a termination of effort. For instance while I am convinced that the Sun is the best source the issue is actually vitamin d deficiency. Thus again if you really wanted to try these things you might opt for a supplemental solution such as taking vitamin d.
If you do so then as in all things it should be done with knowledge and understanding. Vitamin d will up your magnesium needs as it will enable better usage. However, most important is that you never take vitamin D without taking Vitamin K2. K is the regulator for Calcium distribution in the body and failure to use K will encourage the body to build up potentially harmful calcium deposits, hardening of the arteries, gall stones, kidney stones, calcification of organs etc. Vitamin K manages the D and Calcium relationship to stop the detrimental issues from occurring.
This really is such a limited venue to expertly discuss these things simply for the time it takes to type all of this out. I just recommend that before you try anything that you really educate yourself concerning proper usage. When people fail to do this they do not realize the desired results and walk away from possible solutions claiming they do not work.
Having suffered debilitating migraines since the age of 13, of which seem to run in the family, I have tried it all. Ergotamine, (yuck) Periactin, Vasoconstrictors, ( Relpax- injections of imitrex, pheneragan, compazine, the new and the old. I have tried holistic medicine, magnesium, and I have spent many hours in emergency rooms being accused of just wanting drugs. No one took migraines seriously, I did. I no longer have them, so I must have done something right.
