Migraines are paralyzing pain.

Migraines are symptoms of intracranial pressure due to disruption of the blood flow of the jugular (neck) veins resulting from swollen lymph nodes.

As a liver cirrhosis patient, I can testify that among the many severe symptoms I have suffered, migraines are one of the most challenging and paralyzing pains. Migraine attacks often last for several consecutive days, during which I can't sleep, watch TV, and even have difficulty communicating.

Gallbladder infections, sometimes asymptomatic, are the leading cause of migraine pain. The gallbladder meridian passes through the head and directly affects the jugular lymph nodes. Swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck sometimes blocks blood flow from the brain and thus increases intracranial pressure. Many lymph nodes in the neck are not on the surface and cannot be felt by touch.

This article presents natural self-healing therapies whose purpose is anti-inflammatory. When the body does not suffer from inflammations - the patient recovers from migraines with numerous health benefits.

Intracranial pressure is the result of blockage of the jugular neck veins.

Migraines - Introduction. 

Link: Migraine. (Wikipedia)

• Although Migraines are a prevalent symptom (not a disease), medicine does not yet have a plausible explanation for the causes of migraines.
• The prevalence of migraines worldwide, at the level of about 15% of the population - in my opinion, rules out the possibility that this is a symptom of a genetic predisposition. Family prevalence is due to similar eating and lifestyle habits in the family cell, not necessarily heredity.
• The very high incidence of migraines among women of childbearing age (excluding periods of pregnancy) reinforces the hypothesis that this is an inflammatory phenomenon due to a hormonal background. (Women have long been known to have an increased tendency for gallstones due to hormonal changes.)
• Migraine medications may temporarily relieve pain (at the cost of many side effects) but can not cure the disease. 

The Real Cause of Your Headaches as Well as Migraines. (The gallbladder)

Migraines are not an incurable symptom! My experience with migraines is immense.

The leading cause of migraines is poor blood drainage from the brain due to the jugular neck veins' inflammatory processes. Sediments on the walls of the veins and swelling of the jugular vein's lymph nodes can cause intracranial pressure manifested in migraines.

• From my experience, migraine pain is one of the worst; it paralyzes the person during seizures.
• I suffered from terrible migraines during the entire period of my recovery. It was maddening. During that time, I could not do anything, not even sleep. As a liver patient, I could not take painkillers; I had to find alternative ways to mitigate the pain.
• During a migraine attack, I often felt my neck's lymph nodes were swollen. I had blurry vision, nausea, poor appetite, and hearing difficulties. I usually could not drive.
• No one suffered from migraines in my family, so I concluded that my migraines came from my lousy liver and kidney condition.
• My compromised liver and kidneys were generating high blood pressure, probably one of the causes of my migraines.

My attempts to relieve the pain included:

• Steam sauna – it lowers blood pressure. (Although the impact was temporary.)
• Freshly squeezed Grapefruit juice helped to detoxify the liver. (Once again, the effect was temporary.)
• Drinking bentonite clay (a potent anti-inflammatory) had a positive impact.
• After having a coffee enema, I usually experienced relief, although my liver was sometimes totally blocked, and even coffee enemas had limited effect.
  • During my migraines seizures, I did not perform liver flushes.
• During my very long treatments in China, I had fewer bad migraines. It was connected to the long walks I took and the frequent acupuncture and massage treatments I received.
• My symptoms improved toward the end of treatments until all the migraines disappeared.
• Self-healing medicine regenerates and cleans blood vessels throughout the body.
• Deep breathing techniques.

Drug treatment for migraines usually involves severe side effects!

The leading cause of migraines is poor blood drainage from the brain due to the jugular neck veins' inflammatory processes.

Sediments on the walls of the veins and swelling of the jugular vein's lymph nodes can cause intracranial pressure reflected in migraines.

Lifestyle vs. Genetics. 

• An unhealthy lifestyle (Mental and physical)  is the leading cause of Migraines. (80% or more). Genetics explains only a small part of the failures. (20% or less.)
• The age factor - As symptoms onset at a younger age (30 years or less), it is more likely that the weight of unresolved mental traumas is higher than the unhealthy lifestyle. The explanation is that the process of cell aging and death is cumulative, while unresolved traumatic events have an immediate and cumulative effect.

Physical Body.

• An unhealthy lifestyle reflected in Improper nutrition, high body toxicity, low physical activities, exposure to the sun, and lack of sleep manifests itself in:
  • Weak flow of body fluids. (Blood, lymph, bile.)
  • Gut flora imbalance and parasite overgrowth cause a heavy load on the immune system.

Mind and Spirit.

Happiness, Love, Satisfaction, and other positive emotions charge life-force energy.   

Anxiety, Stress, disappointment, hate, fear, guilt, envy, and negative emotions deplete the life-force energy.

• Traumatic Non-resolved mental and spiritual events from our past (usually subconscious) can cause low life-force energy flow. (Blockages in the flow of life-force energy have far-reaching physical and mental effects.)

The combined effect of body, mind, and spirit is a list of symptoms. (Physical & Mental.)

Prognosis.

• Recovery occurs only when all the disease causes (mental & physical) are resolved and eliminated.
• Symptomatic treatments usually cannot cure the patient, as they do not eliminate the disease's causes.

My Views concerning the causes of Migraines are based on the following facts:

• All the symptomatic treatments to alleviate the terrible pain are all-powerful anti-inflammatory:
  • Bentonite clay, Steam Sauna and jacuzzi, Coffee enemas, and Liver Flushes. Freshly squeezed juice, especially grapefruit juice.
• Doctors point to the gallbladder as a factor; the liver and kidneys are the main organs that dominate all inflammation symptoms.
• The risk of migraines usually decreases during pregnancy. Higher Qi life-force energy translates to a better immune system. (Lower inflammation symptoms.)
• Between 12 and 60% of people report foods as triggers. (Wikipedia) It fits the assumption that migraines are a symptom of chronic inflammation.
• As a liver patient with advanced liver disease (HCV), I had terrible seizures over many years, usually related to swallowed lymph nodes in my throat.

The perception of the human body as a dual, physical, and energetic entity is essential to achieving recovery.

"To live is to have Qi in every part of your body." To die is to be a body without Qi. For health to be maintained, there must be a balance of Qi."

• By nature, we are focused on the disease we suffer from. Still, it is essential to discover the mechanism common to all Non-genetic Long-term immune failure diseases for understanding and healing.
• Understanding the entire process will help us recover from the illness we are suffering from, improve our health, and prevent future diseases.
• Recommended link: Long-term immunodeficiency illnesses — Allergies, Chronic inflammations, Cancer, and Autoimmune.

One of the primary reasons for the high prevalence of Migraines in women. (Gallstones - related to hormonal imbalances.)

• Women have an increased tendency to develop gallstones; bile obstruction has a far-reaching impact on the immune system.
• One of the main reasons for women's increased tendency to develop gallstones is hormonal imbalances such as pregnancy, birth control pills, medications, and insulin resistance. (Poor nutrition)
• Gallstones greatly aggravate inflammatory processes in our bodies.
  
  • An increase in the frequency of women suffering from migraines at the fertility age also coincides with the abovementioned factors. (Hormonal imbalance tends to create bile obstructions.)
  • The reason for the decline in migraines in both sexes at older ages is unclear.

Opening bile obstructions naturally (not by surgical gallbladder removal) directly affects the immune system.

• Bile is a strong alkaline and helps contradict the acidity of food coming from the stomach. In a pH-balanced environment, parasites in the digestive system do not thrive, significantly strengthening the immune system.
• Bile is a lotion that contains fats and salts that help lubricate and restore the intestinal walls.
• Restoration of the natural flora in the intestines significantly strengthens the immune system and helps recover from many chronic diseases.

Specific recommendations for relief of Migraine pain.

A gentle massage, preferably with aromatic oil, of the neck, nape, temples, and clavicle may improve blood flow to the brain and back and significantly relieve migraine symptoms.

• I recommend gently massaging the neck and temples to relieve migraine pain. (caution required)
• Steam sauna and massage can lower blood pressure.
• Freshly squeezed juice or fresh Grapefruit juice can help to detoxify the liver. (Beware of contraindications with other drugs)
• Drinking bentonite clay mixed with lukewarm water. (A potent anti-inflammatory.)
• A coffee enema is a potent detoxifier.
• Acupuncture can relieve Migraine pain.
•  Solar- baths are beneficial in prevention. (Not during seizures.)
• A simple and inexpensive anti-inflammatory recipe based on dipping feet in ginger water.
• Deep breathing techniques can relieve migraine pains. At the same time, it is advisable to learn these techniques in yoga workshops; similar training videos on YouTube may help.

The first stage of recovery from Migraines - How to start?

Link: How to get started with self-healing therapies?

Self-healing is a challenging process that often involves changes in diet and lifestyle. The first stages of adaptation are the most difficult. Don't expect your attending physicians (they believe and know only the conventional methods), so support from your spouse, family, and friends is essential.

• It would help if you adopted the available treatments & lifestyle changes that best suit your condition. However, a Balanced diet and liver & kidney cleansing are usually needed.
• The benefits of adopting a self-healing lifestyle are immense; discipline and strong willpower are mainly required in the early stages.
• If you followed self-healing principles for at least three months without significantly improving symptoms, the more systemic inflammation you have, the more you need time! And more intense treatments.
• A urine pH of 6.0 or below usually indicates that the intestines are too acidic. It can suggest that gut flora is imbalanced!

If you seek doctors' advice about self-healing from Migraines, do not expect your doctor's support for self-healing medicine.

Link: Conventional Modern Medicine vs. Self-Healing (Alternative) Medicine.

I recommend everyone delve into the principles of self-healing before deciding. And the differences between conventional medicine and self-healing medicine.

• Deciding which way to choose is always the patient's decision; family and friends' support is vital.
• Doctors don't like undermining their authority; they usually see themselves as the one who knows what's right for you! 
• In my experience of entering a self-healing process, many questions arise. Understanding and believing along the way is critical to success. Self-healing is a challenging process accompanied by ups and downs; it is effortless to break down in the healing process; success comes thanks to perseverance.

List of self-healing main principles and guidelines concerning Migraines. (In one sentence each.) 

Self-healing medicine works on the physical body, mind, and spirit to eliminate the causes of Migraines.

• Changing one's lifestyle is usually the main obstacle to achieving recovery. But the rewards are outstanding. 
• Adopting treatments and nutrition recommendations that best suit your condition would be best. However, liver & kidney cleansing is usually needed.
• Do not underestimate the importance of the mental & spiritual parts.

Harnessing the extraordinary capabilities of Self-Healing.

• Self-healing is like "Performing miracles." Every human being has this capability. It just needs to be revealed.
• Our body, mind & spirit are reflections of each other.
• The influence of our mind & spirit on our physical body is immense. 
• I prefer to call it Complementary Alternative Medicine. (CAM) "Self-healing medicine."

Recovery from Migraines - The Holistic approach of self-healing.

• The location of symptoms does not necessarily reveal the main problem.
• A single organ or system cannot be cured apart from the rest of the body. The entire body's immune system has to recover as well.

Migraine - Self-Healing lifestyle recommendations.

• Try to minimize your medication intake. (They all harm the immune system.)
• Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages (including beer and wine) are not recommended, as they damage the immune system.
• Chew well, take a break, eat comfortably, and do not eat late at night.
• On an empty stomach each morning, squeeze one lemon and drink it with lukewarm water. (You can add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.)
• Intermittent fasting (not with zero calories) has many benefits.
• Regular physical exercise and massage.
• Sound 7-8 hours of night sleep.

The self-healing allegedly paradox - Few symptoms during recovery may be more severe, but migraine symptoms may disappear! 

• Be aware that self-healing has ups and downs; it does not indicate it does not work. The last stage might be the hardest because the immune system becomes more responsive. (Light fever and fatigue during self-healing are usually signs of recovery.)

Mental and Spiritual enhancement principles. (Often underestimated.)

Link: Mental & spiritual enhancement.

• Lifestyle changes, with more relaxation and sleep.
• Releasing Non-resolved stressful events from the past. (To restore the life-force energy flow.)
• Strengthening positive emotions and faith.

Patients suffering from migraines should consider hypnosis. (Authorized only)

The use of hypnosis may be perceived by many as unrelated to their illness, but releasing mental distress has far-reaching effects on the body. 

• The traumatic non-resolved issues may be from the distant past; in most cases, it is difficult for the patient alone to reconstruct the events on his own.
• Since the technique of energetic flushing is not available to most patients, you may want to consider using hypnosis experts to release traumatic non-resolved Stress from the past that blocks the Qi life-force energy.
• Through hypnosis, it may be possible to reconstruct traumatic non-resolved events and release the Stress that blocks the Qi life-force energy and thus causes sickness.
• Hypnosis may be an essential therapeutic tool but not preferential treatment.

Physical body enhancement principles.

Link: Summary table of natural physical therapies I practiced.

1. Eating & drinking a large, balanced variety of unprocessed food & beverages helps initiate the body's natural regeneration process.
2. Mechanical Detoxification. (By unblocking and cleansing the liver & kidneys.)
   1. Liver cleansing includes drinking natural squeezed juices, coffee, and baking soda—probiotic enemas of live bacteria.
3. Exercise and massage to improve blood & lymphatic circulation.
4. Controlled Solar-baths. (Essential for proper physiology and charges the life-force energy.)
5. Acupuncture can restore the life-force energy flow and relieve pain.  
6. It uses mainly herbal food supplements and antioxidants (as little as possible) to restore the body's balance and deficiencies.

Detailed overview of physical body principles to achieve recovery from Migraines.

An anti-inflammatory diet and proper eating habits are essential for recovery.

Nutritional recommendations for patients suffering from migraines. - Recommended Food & Beverages.

Recommended link: The balanced-varied diet is the most suitable anti-inflammatory diet.

Introduction.

• Fats, protein, carbohydrates, and natural sugars are needed; it is wrong to deny completely one of the macronutrients.
• The need for various foods (mainly from plants) allows the body to get all the nutrients (enzymes, minerals, electrolytes, dietary fiber, antioxidants) through food and drinks. High-quality and varied foods, together with sun-controlled exposure, almost eliminate the need for supplements that are sometimes harmful and absorb less than quality food.

Migraine patients may suffer from farting.

• Imbalances in intestinal flora often manifested themselves in farting. Farting during the recovery period is usually a positive sign! (Contrary to what is commonly thought) they reflect attempts by good bacteria to control the parasites. (Dead parasites release gas.)
• Taking control of the good bacteria over the parasites is usually accompanied by much farting. This process can take several months. There is no need to panic and see the recommended diet as if it failed. On the contrary!

Recommended food:

1. Start your morning by drinking one cup of squeezed lemon juice with lukewarm water. (It is even better if you add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar + one tablespoon of olive oil.)
2. Many vegetables, seeds, sprouts, roots, legumes, fruits, and berries exist.   
3. Moist low-medium glycemic index starches such as rice, sweet potato, taro root, and spelled quinoa. (You better add a teaspoon of coconut oil, ghee-purified butter, or other natural oils for better absorption.)
4. Eat wild deep-sea fish 2-to three a week. (They are less contaminated and also have a high omega-3 content.)
   • Fish is easy to digest and does not create a very acidic environment in the intestines.
5. Organic range-free eggs (especially egg yolk) are excellent emulsifiers due to their high lecithin content and vitamin D3. (Good quality egg yolk has an orange color.)
6. Berries are among the most potent antioxidants – combined with fruit, goat yogurt, cinnamon, and walnuts. (Yogurt, like all probiotics, may cause gas bloating. It is usually a good sign.)
7. The liver, in particular, benefits from all-natural bitter foods. (Such as grapefruit and dark chocolate.)
8. Dietary fiber (found only in plant-based diets) is essential for gut recovery. It might cause a reaction like gas bloating. (Fiber helps to feed the good bacteria.)
9. Fermented products with natural live bacteria, such as goat yogurt or natural kombucha, are essential for good health.
10. Consuming high-quality fats like Olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, Ghee (purified butter), and coconut oil, together with fiber, helps lubricate the lining of the intestinal walls. It is essential to replenish the good bacteria and help regenerate intestinal wall tissue.
11. Regular eating of bone marrow (possibly in soup) is especially recommended.
12. Consuming Iodine regularly (for proper thyroid function) is essential. (The easiest way is by consuming Himalayan pink salt.)
13. Consuming sulfur-rich foods such as avocado, onion, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and kale is recommended to strengthen the immune system.

Which bread is the healthiest? (Sprouted, rye, spelled, or whole flour sourdough bread.) 

• Healthy bread is dense and tends to be massive. (Especially bread made without yeast.)
• Bread with low gluten is best. Most healthy bread has low gluten. (Although not zero percent gluten)
• There are many bread recipes. Most people do not bake their bread. Buying bread from a reliable source is essential. The best are small specialized bakeries that deliver organic whole-grain sourdough bread.
• Sprouted bread is most recommended for everyone. Sprouting releases enzymes that break the grain shell. Sprouted bread has low gluten and is easier to digest because enzymes break the grain shell. (which is hard to digest)
• Low-calorie bread is less dense and weighs less. Heavy bread makes you feel full faster.

Minimize eating white flour and yeast bread; it disturbs the gut flora balance.

Recommended beverages:

• Water, tea (without sugar or milk), black coffee (without sugar or milk), and freshly squeezed juice. (Not too sweet.)
  • Drinking fresh juice might cause gas bloating. It is inevitable and part of the recovery process.

Due to possible damage to the intestinal wall, adequate discipline is required in eating and drinking.

• Until symptoms are significantly improved, the food and beverages not recommended list is long, but that should not surprise anyone.
• Eat food that is mainly cooked, soft, warm, and moist early is recommended. (Easier to digest)
• The additional nutrients that the body needs for recovery will come from drinking natural, fresh-squeezed juices.

Not recommended Food and Beverages - Minimize consumption.

• All Processed food, smoked food, preservatives, and canned food. (Huge category.)
• Soft drinks of all kinds, including diet beverages. 
• Plain sugars and high glycemic starches. (Such as white flour products, potatoes, white bread, biscuits, cakes, etc.)
• Eating high doses of sweet fruits. (Especially grapes and watermelon containing mainly glucose.) Sugars can create an imbalance in gut flora.   
• Trans-fats (found in many industrialized products) like Margarine are very harmful.
• Yeast bread. (Sourdough bread is much better.)
• Dairy products are unsuitable for migraine patients as they are loaded with sugar (lactose) and too many proteins. Besides, they create an acidic environment in the intestines.
  • Goat's milk or yogurt is much better. (Limited quantities.)
• High gluten content products. (Gluten protein is found in most cereals. Gluten tends to adhere to intestinal walls and will probably aggravate symptoms.)
• Reduce meat & poultry consumption by 50% or more. (Meat & poultry are hard to digest; they create a high acidity environment in the intestines.)
• Spicy hot foods are usually beneficial, but they may cause symptoms to worsen. (Due to the Herxheimer effect, dead pathogens release toxins & gas.)
• Eating large amounts of carbohydrates and animal proteins is not recommended. (Especially meat or dairy products with potatoes or other high glycemic starches.)

Recommended eating habits.

It is advisable to eat two main meals a day plus snacks (for those who need them). Dinner should be easy to digest and early, maximum up to 7 in the evening, because most tissue regeneration occurs during sleep. The digestive system needs constant rehabilitation; prolonged breaks between meals are preferable to continuous eating.

• Minimize eating away from home, preferably taking home food to work and not buying outside.
• Prepared food deliveries are a terrible alternative! It is processed and industrialized food at the most harmful levels possible.
• Chew well, take a break, and eat comfortably.
• Do not eat late at night.
• Intermittent fasting (not with zero calories) has many benefits.
• Fresh vegetables should be sprinkled with olive oil or other oils such as hemp or flaxseed.
• Add a little fat with a higher melting temperature, such as coconut oil or Ghee butter, boiled or baked starches, or vegetables. (Although they are saturated fats.)
• Especially after a meal that includes animal protein (more difficult to digest), taking a short 20-30 minute walk at moderate speed is recommended. Walking helps the digestive processes.

We eat with all senses; filling the plate with various vegetables with oils and spices is desirable. (Including aromatic salt.)

Coffee and baking soda enemas are beneficial.

The ultimate liver and kidney detoxification is explained.

Recommended links: | Juicing principles | Coffee enemas | Liver and Gallbladder flush |

The liver and kidneys fill a long list of critical metabolic processes. A burden on one creates a burden on the other, so it is essential to address both.

Liver detoxification: Freshly squeezed juices, coffee enemas, Liver flush.

• Why is combining freshly squeezed juice with liver and gallbladder flushes and coffee enemas powerful? 
• Fresh juice supplies the body with all the needed nutrients, such as vitamins, enzymes, electrolytes & antioxidants. It elevates the body's energy and helps the liver produce more bile.
• Liver flushes (especially when adding apple cider vinegar) can dissolve and remove solidified bile stones resulting from high toxicity levels.
• Coffee enemas are much more effective when the bile ducts are not blocked. (Because the movement inside the liver is through the bile ducts.) 
• Coffee enemas have an almost immediate effect on the liver and intestines. When the body has lower toxicity levels, the body's energy will improve significantly. Therefore, the immune system can fight all pathogens much more effectively.

Exercise and massage, Controlled Solar-baths, Acupuncture, and Food supplements.

• Regular exercise is essential because the lymphatic fluid (3 times the amount of blood in our body) is a significant part of the immune system, unable to function without the body's movement.
• The sun has extraordinary healing properties. Sun is not the cause of skin cancer, and moderate controlled exposure has beneficial effects, especially for many systems in the body, including the immune system.
• Acupuncture does not involve any side effects and has exceptional properties when combined with a comprehensive treatment.
• One should always prefer good quality food & beverages with a high nutritional value over supplements. However, one might need a few (though not many) carefully selected supplements during the recovery process.

Summary, conclusions, and recommendations. 

Migraines result from Swollen veins at the skull base, preventing blood flow from the brain and causing intracranial pressure. (Varicose veins are the result of an inflammatory process.)

• One of the main reasons for the high prevalence of Migraines in women is Gallstones - Which are directly related to hormonal imbalances.

Migraines' underlying causes.

• The underlying causes of migraines are an unhealthy lifestyle combined with anxiety & traumatic Non-resolved events from the past.
• Symptomatic treatments (such as medications) cannot cure the patient, as they do not eliminate the disease's causes.
• Recovery occurs only when all the disease causes (mental & physical) are resolved and eliminated.

Prolonged use of medications and Supplements. (Including herbal supplements.)

• Taking analgesics for relatively short periods is sometimes necessary when the pain does not allow proper functioning.
• Painkillers cannot cure the disease but only moderate the symptoms, so the aim is to minimize their use to the minimum possible.
• Prolonged use of most drugs, especially non-herbal drugs, has side effects (sometimes intolerable) and cumulative damage to the body that comes out of balance.
• The use of dietary supplements is excessive and sometimes even harmful. A balanced and appropriate diet with naturally fermented products (or live probiotics) and controlled exposure to the sun are recommended to minimize dietary supplements for those who are not vegan.

Specific recommendations for relief of Migraine pain.

• Steam sauna & massage can lower blood pressure.
• Freshly squeezed juice or fresh Grapefruit juice can help to detoxify the liver. (Beware of contraindications with other drugs)
• Drinking bentonite clay mixed with lukewarm water. (A potent anti-inflammatory.)
• A coffee enema is a potent detoxifier.
• Acupuncture can relieve Migraine pain.
•  Solar- baths are beneficial in prevention. (Not during seizures.)
• Drinking bentonite clay. (Mixed with water)

Economic aspects.

• The economic burden of doctors, drugs, and treatments is sometimes very high. (In my case, the expenditure was unusually high.)
• Despite the massive spending on food and juices, the savings on medicines and doctors, not to mention the suffering and reduced quality of life, invest in self-healing primarily economically in the long run.

Self-healing is like "Performing miracles." Every human being has this capability. It just needs to be revealed.

Migraines are usually unbearable pain.

1. What is the organ that most affect migraine pain?

You'd be surprised! For many migraine patients, the correct answer is unfamiliar.

 Migraine pain is related to the brain.

 Migraine pain is caused by prolonged sitting near air conditioners.

 The gallbladder has an immediate and direct effect on migraine pain.

 Migraine pain is caused by poor air quality.

See my suggested, most suitable answer »

A more detailed explanation:

1. The most suitable answer is answer number 3.
Gallstones, which cause gallbladder inflammation, are very common, especially in women of childbearing age. (due to fluctuations in sex hormones) blockages of the biliary tract cause the digestive system to become very acidic, which encourages the proliferation of pathogens and weakens the immune system. The gallbladder's energy channels (meridians) pass through areas that affect blood drainage from the brain.
