Just off the top of my head. I would go in for heavy metal and toxin testing, see how toxic you are. Are you still eating wheat/gluten, HFC, artificial sugars, do you eat organic ? And have your iodine levels checked, (most are low on iodine and that affects everything from being able to detox properly/daily/normally to messing w/ your hormones). Are you taking support supplements? I know this isn't a straight answer, but headaches are always a symptom of something else. Hopefully this gives you some starting points.Replied by Happyfeather (Reston, Va) on 05/23/2012
Have you looked into going on a juice fast? I went on one and a number of ailments improved. Really can turn everything around in just a few days. Good luck!Replied by Lydia (Warrenton, Mo) on 05/23/2012
I had chronic daily migraines for 2 years, saw several doctors and tried all sorts of migraine medications.. But nothing helped. Finally I went to a doctor who checked my thyroid antibodies and they were over 1500 (should be under 30)! All my other thyroid tests were normal. Once I was put on thyroid hormone replacements the headaches went away.Replied by Rsw (Uniontown, Oh) on 05/23/2012
I wake up many mornings with a headache that OTC meds will not touch, so I tried the EC suggestion for Gunpowder tea. It works very well for me. Usually by the time I finish the cup, sipping slowly, the headache is gone and I can get on with my day!Replied by Debbie (Melbourne, Australia ) on 05/24/2012
Lately I have been getting migraines and usually throw up they are so bad. I was getting one or two a week. Since I started drinking carrot juice (and cutting back on coffee and dairy) I have not had a migraine. I googled carrot juice and headaches and it apparently has been used to relieve headaches.Replied by Painful (Alexandria, Minnesota) on 05/25/2012
I've had my hair & blood work done last fall & this Feb. I have been de-toxing. No Art. Sweeteners, I eat mostly organic and had my hormones tested and I'm on Bio-Iden. Horm. Rep. I am on many good quality support supplements. I had not thought about iodine or gluten, thanks I will look into that. The iodine might also help with my splitting nails. Thanks again for all your suggestions.Replied by Mama T (Sparks, Nv) on 05/28/2012
My daughter who will soon be 27 years, has suffered from migranes for years. She would have migranes several times a month that would cause her to have to leave work. She would sleep a lot and had very little energy.
At the beginning of 2012 her boyfriend suggested going gluten free. The change has been amazing! Within a week she had more energy. She has not had a migrane in over 3 months. She told me she has had a few minor headaches that abate easily unlike migraines that would hurt for days. She has been very diligent about learning what is gluten free or not and will not eat or drink anything that will compromise her success. I, too, have gone gluten free and have noticed I don't feel fatigued like I used to. We are so thankful for this solution for my daughter's migranes. She has a bright future without gluten, without migranes.
