Migraines and Live Foods

[Guest guest]

I did not get in on the last few posts on this thread, but viewed a small

portion of the discussion. I will not get into any philosophy or technical

viewpoints, but briefly share my experience.

 

I use to eat basically a heath food diet and do many cleanses (bowel,

gallbladder/liver, etc) and yet get very painful migraines because I was eating

heavy foods and cooked foods. These head aches would put me down for the whole

day sometimes, and I would vomit often.

 

Within 3 months of being on the raw diet, I was migraine free. Then I backslid

and the migraines began to return. Now I am committed once again to eat raw

food. I am thankful for the head aches because they were a signal that I was

harming my body with impure food that would cause more serious problems in the

future.

My experiences echo Diana's. I used to suffer debilitating migraine

headaches and lose several days of work a month. When I owned my

store, we even had a cushion in one corner of the office that was

referred to as the " headache bed. " Once I learned about raw foods, I

am now mostly free of any headaches at all. No more trips to the ER

for narcotics to cover the pain and stop the vomiting. Hurray!

 

Although *some* of my migraines may have been " emotional in origin " as

suggested by Elchanan (they often came right after a big event), a

good number of them were tied to my menstrual cycle and could amost be

predicted.

Are there other woman who no longer experience migraines, especially

hormonally & menapause related migraines? Mine are also as regular as

a monthly. Some research indicates a low estrogen & seratonin levels

proceed the " monthly hormonal migraines " . Thank you Diana & Annette

for sharing your experiance. What percentage of raw were you on when

you no longer had hormonal migraines? I am somewhere near 50/60 % but

transitioning to 80/90. I will be trying different fresh foods prior to

my next " " monthly cycle that I think might increase or balance those

horomones, but I am not sure which ones.(?) I am also considering

trying juice fasting and tuning more deeply into my sense of smell,

taste, and gut response on what greens/herbs/fruits/seeds to eat or not

eat the week before of of the regular monthly.....which I seem to be

approaching doing now anyways.... The encouragement and experience of

other woman who have moved through this is helpful. Thank-you!

This is hopeful for me. I haven't tried the Raw Food diet yet, but I

am learning about it. And if I could be headache free, that would be

such a blessing. I can't even imagine being free from headaches.
