Migraine affects nearly 1 out of 10 people in the world, and the majority of sufferers are women

Some Migraines are hormonal and some are physical, which need expert advice from your doctor or chiropractor.

Nutrient deficiencies appear to play a major part in Migraines and many people respond very quickly to changes in diet and lifestyle, and especially by boosting Magnesium, Vitamin D and Riboflavin Vitamin B2.

You may think that doctors are “gods” who know everything about health, but very often they don’t know enough about Diet and Lifestyle.  Because of this they often don’t realise that what you eat has a major effect on your health.  You could eat lots of foods that contain Magnesium and Vitamin B2 and find sunshine all year round, but swallowing a supplement instead may be the way to take a large amount of exactly the right nutrients.

Here are some products that may work for you:

Magnesium

Boosting your magnesium may be the best way to reduce tinnitus and vertigo and dizziness, but you need to take enough of the right version.  Avoid Magnesium Oxide, which appears to contain lots of magnesium but is not absorbed very well by your body.  The protocol mentioned below suggests that you start with 100 mg and add 100 mg each day until you are comfortable taking 600 mg each day.  This magnesium citrate is one of the best and the purest.

Be sensitive to any health changes, and pause or reduce if any problems

Day 1              Take 100 mg in the morning

Day 2              Take 200 mg, 100 mg morning and evening

Day 3              Take 300 mg, 100 mg morning, early evening & 1 hour before bedtime

Day 4              Take 400 mg, divided through the day

Days 5-90      Take 600 mg, divided through the day

Vitamin D 

There is very good evidence that boosting your level of vitamin D helps to reduce many types of migraine.  Read more about this at VitaminDwiki  The UK government suggests that everyone only needs to take 10 micrograms ( 400 IU ) every day, but there is very strong evidence that we really need 10 times that.  Magnesium and vitamin D work together, so the protocol below suggests that you take a week to build up your magnesium and then test your response to vitamin D.  If that is OK, then you could take a large Loading Dose for the next week to boost your blood level.  This Vitamin D is hypo-allergenic and in a tiny soft vegetable capsule that is really easy to swallow:

Day 8              Take a single capsule of 125 mcg ( 5,000 IU ) in the morning

Days 9-14      If Day 8 is OK, take a Loading Dose of 5 capsules

Days 15-90    Take a single capsule of 125 mcg ( 5,000 IU ) in the morning

Riboflavin Vitamin B2

One of the few vitamins that UK NICE recommends for any health condition is Riboflavin ( Vitamin B2 ) for migraines.  In their Clinical Guidance CG150 they suggest 400 mg each day.  If you have never tried supplements before then this is one of the most effective, that works for migraines for many people.  However, for best effect you are advised to boost your Magnesium and your Vitamin D before you add the Riboflavin.  Here is a very pure supplement in a soft vegetable capsule:

Days 15-90    Take a single capsule of 400 mg of Vitamin B2 Riboflavin ( B2-400 )

Note that your pee will turn bright yellow

400 mg of Riboflavin B2-400 is recommended by UK doctors ( NICE CG150 )
