The conditions appear to be a leaky gut syndrome that initiated the headache, so even with a detox program that wouldn't work if the leaky gut wasn't taken care of directly. The brain injury white damage white matter tend to lower the immune system as it is the control centers of the body anyway. The mold exposure made it worse, especially if the body is already metabolic acidosis as shown in the issue of acid reflux and taking prilosec. Long term can lead to aggravating conditions. It was the mycotoxin that was causing the headache. Apparently the mycotoxin has already entered and taken refuge and is what causes the present day acid reflux and leaky gut syndrome. Irritable bowel is an unusual one it may mean the lack of sea salt or low sodium in the urine which lowers natural immunity in the urinary tract.
What happens is this: the head injury leads to neural function that damaged white matter. The brain's immune system becomes lowered. Whenever a white matter of the brain quite often the body becomes metabolically acid if the neural system is damaged.
The same can also happen if the person were exposed to hydrocarbons, aspartame, chlorine, fluorine and heavy metals found in drinking tap unfiltered water. They damage the neural system. A mycotoxins from the molds are quite damaging, so unsurpringly causes a headache. Whenever the body is metabolically acidosis, the body's immune system are down and fungus or mold exposure is quite often the cause of acid reflux, which lead to taking prilosec. Which really isn't dealing with the cause of the problem.
Although I prefer a more direct method and just kill the fungus through the use of alkaline and borax remedy. Long term prilosec made the condition worse that lead to a leaky gut syndrome. The organism is a fungus like infection which spread from the top esophagus right down to the intestinal system.
It is of interesting note that when a fungus exposure occurs the body's hormone becomes suppressed or overexpressed itself. In some conditions moldy exposure tends to cause two things, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), in some instances lead to lack of progresterone and excessive estrogen. This leads to having problems bearing a child. But the same mold exposure that creates mycotoxin can also lead to hypothyroidism, especially with exposure to halogens from bleached white bread, white flour, and wheat products. All these promotes fungus growth, but at the same time are bleached from bromination process which lowers the body's available iodine system. Hence a kelp supplements is taken to increase the iodine while avoiding moldy products, fermented products, beer, wine, cheese (fermented - has mycotoxin), antibiotics (made from fungus and molds - has mycotoxins), and acid forming foods (supports fungus growth, such as sugar and fructose).
So the issue appears to be simply,
1) correct the white brain matter of the brain, 2) kill off the acid reflux, 3) resolve the leaky gut, 4) get rid of the fungus condition, and 5) correct the glandular functions.
The reason why supplements don't work appears to be dairy consumption. Most dairy products including yogurt is an anti-nutrient. I actually found out the hard way in a cancer person where the supplements which used to worked well suddenly stopped working all day. Apparently the person was taking two cups of yogurt and it rendered the supplements useless for the entire day. The milk protein casein engulf all foods and prevented their absortption, and hence an antinutrient.
Headaches of this condition is simply from three things: a damage white matter, autotoxification from leak gut, and a mycotoxin poisoning from the moldy fungus. My own simple remedy for mycotoxin is BHT 500-1000 mg once a day. BHT seems to neutralize aflaxtoxin, but believe it also neutralizes other mycotoxins too.
1) To correct the white brain matter, a couple of supplements are needed, 3-4 day a week of hydergine and piracetam. Vitamin C sodium ascorbate (no calcium) 1000 mg x 3, and baking soda 1/2 teaspoon in 1/2 glass of water twice a day. Some vitamin B complex, in form of B50, taken once a day 4 days out of a week, for a month or two. If further attention is needed, then only 5 mg of lithium citrate to help neural growth of the brain's white matter. Some granulated lecithin to help with myelination of the brain's white matter. Reduction of the inflammation in the brain with two supplements 1000 mg of fish oil and 1000 mg of evening primrose oil for only 3 or 4 days out of a week.
Quite often the single most important supplement against the headache is the vitamin C sodium ascorbate 1000 mg x 3 (no calcium) for a couple about a week usually goes away. If not an additional magnesium gluconate or magnesium citrate should help. If the brain's white matter is high in heavy metals healing won't proceed with glutathione and L carnosine is not taken. Both 500 mg each a day should help. If a person happens to be a doubting Thomas, then checking for hair mineral analysis may be revealing. The most common one I see with similar conditon is calcium is too high or off the charts, very low iodine or none at all, and high zinc or high copper. Carnosine supplements would reduce the heavy metals. Taurine is neuroprotective. In fact I have seen some people who STILL have a headache after vitamin C is taken may go away if a taurine supplements were taken. It occurs because some people simply don't eat fish, or the fact that a damaged brain may require more taurine. It should be noted that in building the brain, the brain has high vitamin C, GLA (from evening primrose oil), EPA, and DHA from fish oil. Hence the supplements mentioned here focuses on rebuilding the brain. However I haven't as yet dealt with mycotoxins, so BHT should neutralize that one with 500 mg at least to 1000 mg of BHT.
The other issue is when dealing with white matter a brain STILL cannot heal if the brain is not sufficiently alkaline enough to "cool down the brain". If the headache is still there, then a stronger alkalizing remedy is needed here, which is my modified version of the carbicarb remedy where I added potassium to neutralize the alkaline sodium to put less stress on the cells. The carbicarb remedy is more or less 1/4 teaspoon ot sodium carbonate + 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda + 1/8 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate (or tripotassium citrate) in 1/2 to 1 glass of water. This will alkalize the brain within about 30 minutes and there is a feeling of cooling down of the brain and reduction of stress whenever the brain is sufficiently alkaline. A simpler baking soda would not work without the addition of the sodium carbonate. A sodium carbonate's common name is often called washing soda, but in medicine they use this in recovery from brain damage by protecting against excessive acidity from brain trauma victims and reviving dogs from brain trauma too.
2) kill off the acid reflux,
A remedy that slowly kills off the fungus like acid reflux is the baking soda or the lime and baking soda remedy. The simplest is 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water at least taken twice a day. A lime and baking soda is 2 tablespoon of lime juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water twice or three times a day, on an empty stomach. It takes about three weeks to neutralize the acid reflux slowly but surely.
3) resolve the leaky gut, A common remedy I used for acid reflux is magnesium chloride, 250 or 500 mg a day, or possibly magnesium citrate 500 mg a day. Pantothenic acid B5, plus B50 taken for 4 days out of a week seems to help. The b complex can either be B50 or B100, where B100 has mostly 100 mg of each of the b vitamins. People with acid reflux seems to have a b deficiency as well as a fungus like organism and hence baking soda and B remedy is the one I used.
4) get rid of the fungus condition, A fungus condition will often be killed with sufficient baking soda but the mycotoxins needs to be neutralized with BHT as mentioned previously. However, avoiding all fermented products and fungus product seems to be important factor. This includes potatoes (potatoes skin has fungus hence, mycotoxins). They are also high in calcium which tends to promote fungus mycotoxins. Antibiotics, mushrooms, wheat product all tend to have mycotoxins too. Avoiding dairy product is important since they are anti nutrients as mentioned before. Selenium may have some antifungal properties too.
5) correct the glandular functions. I prefer corrrecting problematic glandular functions through iodine and borax remedy I often used. For example, a good source of iodine are the kelp between 250-500 mg a day at least for a couple of days out of a week, namely taken once every two or three days. A borax remedy the mixture is often 1/8 teaspoon for woman's dose dissolved in one liter of drinking water taken throughout the day. This has a tendency to normalize the hormones and cause glandular function to normalized. It is also antifungal. Perhaps the borax remedy can be taken three days out of a week or four days or more. That depends on the people's individual need. For example I may be happy to take it for 2-3 days out of a week would be fine for me too.
The above should take care most of the problems, if I happen to forget something here just email me for more questions.
