Migraine Information and Prevention

Research studies show that almost half of all migraine sufferers have low blood levels of Magnesium - which is critical in controlling vasospasms (the contraction and dilation of blood vessels in the brain which occurs during migraines). Migraine sufferers also suffer mitochondrial energy deficiencies, which Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) can improve when given in high dosages. And the plant material Feverfew has been shown to reduce platelet aggregation, which can lead to vasoconstriction. All three ingredients have been recommended for years by many doctors and top headache specialists for migraine prevention, based on effectiveness and the clinical studies behind them.

This lens exists to provide you with actual scientific information for proven migraine prevention.

Migraine Newsletter 

From Curt Hendrix and MigreLief

Many chronic migraine sufferers resort to taking prescription medicines named triptans when a migraine gets out of control. These medicines are used "acutely". This means you take them when you already have a migraine you want to try to stop. These drugs do not prevent migraines from occurring.

In fact, not only do they not prevent migraines, the general consensus amongst researchers and clinicians is that on-going regular use of triptan drugs like Imitrex or Zomig actually increase the total number of migraines that many users of the drugs have. This phenomenon is known as "rebound headache" .

Some readers of this article may recognize this pattern in their own lives. A migraine develops that won't go away and then one of these drugs is administered. The current migraine either goes away or decreases in intensity to the point where it is manageable but a day or two later, another migraine occurs. "The Rebound Headache".

If users are not careful this can lead to increasing drug use and a cycle of reoccurring migraines. This rebound cycle occurs not only with triptan drugs but with caffeine containing over the counter medicines like Excedrin.

Caffeine can help reduce the pain of headaches and migraines in some sufferers. But unfortunately it is caffeine that causes many headaches and contributes to the development of migraines in many, if not most sufferers.

In fact, several well known neurologists who specialize in treating migraine sufferers have stated that one of the most powerful ways to reduce the number of migraines that sufferers experience is to remove caffeine from their diets.

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, because caffeine is addictive and many sufferers, when they try to ween off of it, actually go through withdrawal like symptoms and experience a temporary, short increase in their headaches or migraines.

Fortunately, this will last only a short time, perhaps several days and then a significant decrease in the frequency and intensity of migraines should occur.

The above information highlights why preventing migraines from occurring is a much safer and desirable short and longterm choice in dealing with the effect of migraines on your life.

And for 15 years, MigreLief has proven time and time again, to be the easiest and most effective Prevention solution for literally tens of thousands of migraine sufferers.

In fact, the biggest percentage of chronic migraines sufferers who use MigreLief, comes from the referrals of the country-wide network of neurologists, internists and general practitioners who have relied upon MigreLief for well over a decade.
