New Things to Know About Migraines

The cause of migraines is not the same as a migraine trigger.As you now know, the cause of your migraines was inherited and happens because of the way hormone producing cells adversely react during times of hormone fluctuation.

Whereas, triggers are things that can aggravate the migraine syndrome to the point where a migraine attack occurs. Triggers can include many different things for different people. However, there are some things that can trigger a migraine for most migraineurs, for example MSG.

Some New Triggers - Uncovered by Our Continuing Research

  • Protein Drinks, Bars, and Tablets that contain the amino acid tyrosine or tyramine.
  • Avoid any products that contain L-tyronsine because this added quantities of this can disrupt the normal functions of pituitary gland.
  • Probiotics - it is a fad and it can introduce painful problems for migraineurs by increasing the levels of NO
  • Sunless Self Tan Products especially those that contain tyrosine.
  • Colon and other cleansing therapies that use acidophilus and other such ingredients often trigger migraine headaches by elevating nitric oxide.
  • Yogurt can trigger migraines. If you eat yogurt to avoid yeast, consider taking Coral Calcium to balance your ph to prevent yeast infections.
  • All "diet" drinks, i.e. Diet Coke.
  • New health fads should be approached with extreme caution as they can easily disrupt the balance of your system and trigger migraines.
  • What about Coffee and other caffeine drinks? Caffeine itself shouldn't be a problem. We have found little evidence that one cup of coffee per day makes any significant difference in the migraine pattern. 

    Caffeine is a natural short-term vasoconstrictor. Which means it works is a similar way as triptans. The problem with caffeine may be more related to the way a person may drink it throughout the day.

    Each time a cup of coffee is drunk it constricts the blood vessels of the trigeminal-vascular system (area of migraine headache pain) and then when the caffeine wears off the vessels expand. It appears that when coffee (caffeine drinks) are drunk in a rhythmical pattern, for example, a cup every two hours, is when it becomes more problematic for the migraineur.

    Please check the ingredients of everything you consume. Watch out for MSG and other well known triggers and always ask your server about items on the menu. When in doubt, don't eat it - this includes your best friend's favorite dish at the pot-luck dinner.

     Migraine Defense Improves the Lives of Many. Our clients call and send emails each day to tell us what a wonderful difference Migraine Defense has made in their lives. We hear from those who have been able to return to work, go back to school and improve their performance, and once again find enjoyment in their daily lives with their families and friends.

    You can read the testimonies about Migraine Defense including letters from those who did not find complete success.

     Repairing the Long Term Effects of Migraines. Migraines are very taxing on the body. Neck muscles and joints become tense, sore, and strained. This pain and tension are often misdiagnosed as the cause, rather than the result of migraines.

    To help with the after-effects of migraines, Migraine Defense contains an ingredient (Borage Oil) that is used by the body to generate natural anti-inflammatories to relieve inflammation in the body. You can also order our Evening Primrose Oil product to increase the anti-inflammitory effects.

     Effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy Many women have been prescribed or use hormone replacement therapy, such as estrogen and progesterone, in attempts to control migraines or block the symptoms of menopause. These remedies for migraines are generally short lived as the body readjusts to the added hormones and this can actually and painfully result in an increase in migraine frequency and intensity. Unfortunately the connection between adding hormones and increased migraines is not understood by most doctors or patients; therefore, HRT continues unchallenged.

    Migraine Defense neither adds to nor depletes the body of any hormones. Migraine Defense works by preventing unwanted migraine producing chemicals from being released during times of hormone fluctuation. Therefore, Migraine Defense is safe to use anytime and does not cause alterations to natural hormone activity of the body.

     What may be Contributing to your Migraines Many migraineurs fail to realize that just because it is prescribed by their doctor, is a brand name product, or comes from a health food store doesn't mean that it may be a major contributing factor to your migraine pattern.

    For example, most people are unaware that health store products such as protein drinks, probiotics products and even yogurt can be a trigger to ignite the migraine process.

    The most important thing to remember is you that must read labels. This includes the ingredients that make up your daily supplements and vitamins.

    After reviewing many name brand products, we felt it was necessary to introduce "Migraine Safe" products and daily supplements to help those who want to improve their health and vitality without risking a migraine.
