Prognosis for Migraines
Many migraines are detected & eliminated by NAET treatments. People suffering from acute & chronic migraines can get full freedom from their headaches when they go through a series of NAET treatments.
People can avoid migraines by avoiding the factors that trigger them. For example, headaches caused by food allergies can be prevented by avoiding such foods. Most headaches disappear when the triggers are detected and removed. Keeping a food diary will help you zero in on some of the triggers within a 48 hour period.
Drugs are pushed by doctors for their own benefit & convenience. Natural supplements have been shown to be tremendously effective. Here are some of the most effective supplements for vascular type headaches. Dr Ray Blayloch recommends these supplements in his Wellness Report newsletter dating back to July 2011: Riboflaven, Thiamine, niacinamide, folate, CoQ10, L-caritine & R-lipoic acid are all used for migraine support.
