Well, I didn't find it, my aunt, who has an brain aneurysm, was told about it when she went to the Pain Specialists of Greater Chicago. There's no guarantee that this will work for any one person, but it might help some.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it worked for the both of us, it might work for you as well.<BR/><BR/>Here it goes. Cooked proteins (like meat, cheese, tofu, etc.) develop something called tyramine as they age. Tyramine is tolerable for migraine sufferers until it's has hit 3 day's growth/development. At that point, it has been found to trigger migraine in some people. Solution, don't eat meat that has been cooked more than 3 days prior. (ex. if you make chicken on Monday, you can eat it Tuesday and Wednesday, but not Thursday). Also, avoid pre-cooked meats, like lunch meats and cheeses. You can eat "fresh" cheese or soft cheese with some success, but not any aged cheeses. <BR/>I found that if I eliminated these things from my diet for about 2 weeks, my migraines went away almost completely. I could then slowly add them back into my diet. Some people are more sensative that others, you just have to try it and see.<BR/><BR/>More info can be found here: http://www.nutrition4health.org/nohanews/NNS02DietMigraineHeadaches.htm<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps.Rebekah Duerksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724293383270469470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356827408135871543.post-2815507343376127032008-02-16T13:12:00.000-05:002008-02-16T13:12:00.000-05:00Hi Rio,I am so sorry to hear of your plight with c...Hi Rio,<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry to hear of your plight with cluster headaches, which are, as I am sure you know, a type of migraine. I want you to know that they are very controllable through controlling the autonomic (automatic) nervous system. Most of us nowadays are way too much in the fight or flight response (even if we have adapted and don't know it!) or have some unresolved trauma. The nervous system has a memory of all of this. I am affiliated with Boulder Community Hospital and have created a program over the past couple of decades which works. Enough said... please check my website, www.NaturallyPainFree.com for more info. The National Headache Foundation is doing a review on my book (Migraines Be Gone)in their March-April issue of Headlines! Good luck to you... you can control them... perhaps look for someone in your own area that can help (go to BCIA.org)...

And mine are....well, they've been mistaken for seizures on more than one occassion. I've run the full spectrum of 'types' of migraine, as well as a nice spell of cluster headaches. (God damn but those hurt!)Zanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086497481509929875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356827408135871543.post-59827427122527128952008-02-15T18:00:00.000-05:002008-02-15T18:00:00.000-05:00sorry to hear you get migraines, i suffer them too...sorry to hear you get migraines, i suffer them too( i grew 12 inches in 1 year when i was 14 and it blew my system to shreds)<BR/><BR/>but mine are sort of pins and needles in my tongue, i see flashing lights, my speech becomes very disordered, and i cant keep my hand open, it keeps shutting itself. then i become ill. <BR/><BR/>you get well, rest and recover.Mercuriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607976378571790610noreply@blogger.com
