Stopping Migraines With Food

I don't get migraines, but I've run across a few people who do, so I thought I'd share what has worked for them.

Here's what my friend Mae says:

When I have that heavy or painful feeling starting I take these for a few days.  I use the Transformation brand:  2 ExcellZymes, 3 CalmZymes (sometimes I only do 2 (I am small), 1 Protease IFC.  So far this has been an awesome remedy for me.  I have been using more of the CalmZymes on a regular basis and it helps me be more relaxed and I believe my muscles stay less tense.

And here are the website links I found for the products she recommends:

http://www.enzymes.com/calmzyme.html

Another friend found that using all three enzymes on a regular basis worked best for her.  Just like anything, it's best if you experiment and customize it for you.

I’ve also heard that migraines can often be caused from liver issues – that the liver is unable to process all the toxins in the body and so they float around in the bloodstream which can particularly hurt in the smaller capillaries around your head.  

So, of course a liver cleanse would be a good idea.  Here's my post where I talk about the liver cleanse I did:

And I highly suggest the book The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse by Andreas Moritz.  It'll walk you through the whole process and it's very easy.

Also, for all the people with migraines I've talked to, adding Chocolate Bliss to their daily diet has helped.  Perhaps that's because Bliss will gradually and gently detox you and all those toxins floating around in your sensitive head capillaries.  Plus, it's nice to have some soothing, good-for-you chocolate to drink when you're not feeling your best.

Hope that helps all your headaches.  And let me know if you find any other awesome solutions!
