Cure Migraine Headaches in 5 Steps - Step One

This is the first of a 5 part series on a migraine headache cure. Permanent MIGRAINE RELIEF! If you follow this process from beginning to end, you will either cure your migraine headaches entirely or reduce the occurrences to predictable, infrequent anomalies that can be treated with an abortive triptan, like Imitrex.

Notice, I said PREDICTABLE anomaly, meaning, based on your behavior, you will be able to predict when you will have a migraine headache attack.

Otherwise, you will have NO MIGRAINE HEADACHES. None.

SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM

This is the first step in the process of curing migraine headaches.

I will show you how to give yourself a strong enough shock to the system to abort the migraine cycle you're stuck in.

The term Shock to the System came from one of the first doctors I went to for help. I trusted him, allowed him to treat me for about two years. Over the course of the "treatment" he provided, I got much much worse.

But he did provide me with one important concept. He told me that vomiting will sometimes abort a migraine headache. I asked him why, and he told me that any strong shock to the system has the potential to stop a migraine headache. Of course, any strong shock to the system has the potential to GIVE YOU A MIGRAINE HEADACHE TOO!

This is one of the reasons that doctors will not dole out the advice I am going to give you. Doctors rely on patient's feedback as a main determination for what course of treatment to prescribe. If patient feedback is negative, the doctor will come to the logical conclusion that the treatment doesn't work. AT LEAST NOT FOR EVERYONE.

This is key here. Because if a patient is told that this prescribed treatment might not work for everyone, and then they get a migraine headache right away, they assume that this treatment doesn't work for them.

Here's the thing: prescribing a strong shock to the system will probably cause a migraine headache. Probable a pretty bad migraine headache.

So then the patient returns to the doctor, infuriated, with the feedback that this course of treatment is, well, c@$%. The doctor takes the hint. The doctor prescribes more meds and the cycle continues.

So here's how to shock your system and abort the migraine headache cycle:

ELIMINATE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING

Foods
1. All alcoholic beverages
2. All Caffeine
3. All chocolate
4. Vegetables
a. Onions
b. Chili Peppers
c. Pickles
d. Olives
5. Any processes or preserved meats and fish
a. Bacon
b. Sausage
c. Hot dogs
d. Lox
e. Beef Jerky
6. Dairy Products
a. All aged cheeses (Some American Cheese is okay)
b. Whole milk
c. Sour cream
7. Anything cooked with fresh yeast
a. Pizza
b. Soft pretzels
c. Fresh bread
8. Artificial sweetener
9. All MSG
10. Anything fermented
a. Vinegar
b. Non-alcoholic fermented beverages

Medication
1. ALL PAIN KILLERS BESIDES TYLENOL ARE OFF LIMITS

Yes, that includes all triptans, NSAIDs, Anti-inflammatories, opioids, everything.

It sounds extreme.

It is.

It sounds painful.

At first, it is.

It's a shock to the system. You may find yourself suffering at first with migraine headaches and no immediate relief.

I CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT TRIPTANS!!!

I hear you. I couldn't either. And to keep everything straight -- you still should have a good supply of Imitrex at hand along with some Aleve, or whatever else works for you to quickly abort a migraine headache.

But you absolutely MUST give these up for a period of time NO MATTER WHAT to kick start your program.

Continuing to take triptans or OTC pain killers -- besides Tylenol, which is fine to take in moderation -- will continue the cycle of migraine headaches. You need to cut these out completely until you break the rebound cycle.

REBOUND CYCLE

It is generally agreed upon that a migraine headache pain is caused the by inflammation of red blood cells. A triptan aborts the migraine pain because it constricts red blood cells.

But once the triptan wears off, the blood cells expand again. And when they expand again, they REALLY expand, causing another migraine headache.

Cutting these drugs out entirely, regardless of your pain level, will get you off of the rebound cycle that cannot be cured by medication.

Once you are no longer rebounding (believe me, you will know when you are no longer rebounding -- you will see a sudden and DRAMATIC drop in the frequency of your migraine headaches), you can add Imitrex and Aleve back into your routine -- BUT ONLY 2 X PER MONTH.

You won't need more than that.

Does that sound too good to be true? Just try it out. You'll see results immediately!

I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY COFFEE!!!

I hear ya. I felt the same way myself.

But caffeine and alcohol are two of the main culprits in chronic migraine headaches.

This is one of those situations in life when you just need to make a choice.

What is a pain-free life worth to you?

A cup of coffee in the morning?

All of those things you were going to accomplish, if only you weren't plagued by debilitating migraine headaches...they are all possible if you can cut out that morning cup o joe.

And that evening nightcap...

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT WINE WITH DINNER!!!

I hear ya. I said the same thing too. Alcohol was part of my life in an intrinsic way.

My wife and I met and first bonded over our tastes in wine. A large segment of our life together was built around wine tastings and the proper pairing of wine with meals.

To me, cutting that out was like cutting out a large part of my personality. Like cutting out part of my marriage.

But I eventually came to the conclusion that migraine headaches were standing in the way of what I wanted to get out of life.

I was certain that I could go no further without eliminating migraine headaches from my life.

This part of the program is all about you:

What are you willing to do to live a migraine-free life?

Is curing your migraine headaches the ONE thing that would make a difference in your life? It was for me.

So what are you willing to do for that ONE thing?

YOU'RE ASKING ME TO CUT OUT TOO MUCH...

I hear you.

Here's what I would say to that:

Nothing is permanent. Everyone is different.

You MUST eliminate all of the above food and chemical "triggers" from your life AT FIRST. You will find that various things can be gradually brought back into the equation.

For example, I found that I will get a migraine nearly instantly, if I eat onions.

But vinegar, pickles, olives...these things don't effect me AT ALL.

A glass of wine will put me in bed for a day, writhing in pain. But I can eat pickles and peppers. I can't eat lox, but I can eat pizza.

But you have to cut EVERYTHING out at first, otherwise, you will keep a trigger here and a trigger there, you will continue having migraines and abandon this cure as just another BS treatment.

This is one reason that diet is not addressed by many doctors.

In my experience, a couple of doctors told me that some foods can trigger migraines. But that was about it. It was up to me to figure that part out.

In fairness to these doctors, they MIGHT have started out prescribing strict diet monitoring, but relying on patient feedback for this sort of thing is difficult.

If they say, "try cutting out fermented foods and caffeine," but not all the other triggers, then patients come back with complaints. Fine, here's a prescription.

If they say, "Cut out all of these things, but it's different for everybody," how many patients are going to do that? But they will certainly come back and say exactly what I said: "My diet doesn't matter. I get migraines no matter what I eat or when I eat it."

I said that to my general practitioner and my second neurologist.

And finally, even if the patient is sent home with a complete list of items to cut out, AND they actually cut all the items out, they are also sent home with some abortive meds that they can use when they get migraines, which they use, and continue the rebound cycle.

Shock To the System.

It's the first step to a guaranteed migraine CURE. And it's the only real migraine CURE to date.

After you give yourself a good shock to the system, please come back and try the second step to cure migraine headaches.

If you follow this migraine headache cure from start-to-finish, you will find major improvements in every aspect of your life!
