Migraines

Condition

Important Notes

  • People who went into microdosing therapy with migraines ended up with migraines that were far worse coupled with additional symptoms
  • Dirty blood from toxic liver: A sluggish, overburdened liver releases dirty blood laden with toxins, viral byproducts, and unfiltered waste that reaches the brain and triggers migraines.
  • Air fresheners: Air fresheners and plug-in air fresheners trigger migraines
  • HHV-7 and undiscovered herpes viruses: Beyond the known viruses (EBV, shingles, HHV-6), HHV-7, undiscovered HHV-10, and undiscovered HHV-11 can also proliferate inside the liver, building up toxins that leach into the bloodstream and trigger migraines. Different people carry different viral combinations and different viral loads — some carry very high loads of these viruses, others very little, explaining why healing timelines differ so much between individuals.
  • Electrolyte deficiency: Body must maintain certain level of electrolytes to maintain neurotransmitter strength, neurons, and electrical nerve impulses. Deficiency can trigger migraines
  • Caffeine: Caffeine triggers migraines
  • Caffeine mechanism and adrenal rebound: Caffeine triggers the adrenal glands to flood the body with adrenaline, which acts as a temporary stopgap for the inflammation that causes migraines — this is why some people feel caffeine 'helps' a migraine in the short term. Over time, however, caffeine has unproductive repercussions: it is dehydrating, adrenal-depleting, and ultimately worsens the underlying migraine condition. Coffee, matcha, black tea, and energy drinks all dehydrate and aggravate the nervous system.
  • Air fresheners and scented candles: Can irritate central nervous system and bring on migraines
  • Bugs: Caused by bugs attacking the body, not autoimmune self-attack
  • Streptococcus: Causes chronic sinusitis which leads to sinus-related migraines
  • Chemical fragrances: Chemical soups in air fresheners, scented candles, perfumes can trigger migraines
  • Chronic dehydration: Chronic dehydration at the cellular level thickens blood and reduces oxygen delivery to the brain, contributing to migraine episodes.
  • dehydration: Chronic dehydration is common trigger. Coffee, matcha, black tea, energy drinks dehydrate further.
  • Chronic streptococcus: Chronic streptococcal infections sitting in the linings of the sinus cavity create headaches and migraines
  • Chronic stress and adrenaline surges: Chronic stress generates continual surges of erosive adrenaline that create havoc in the brain and in the nerves that travel throughout the body. This can create a hypertensive reaction that tightens specific areas such as the trigeminal nerves, resulting in a migraine trigger. Stress is rarely the sole cause — it is a compounding trigger that stacks on top of viral load and heavy metal toxicity.
  • Caffeine: Coffee, matcha tea, chocolate, cacao overstimulate central nervous system, act as neurotoxin, trigger adrenals causing withdrawal cycle
  • Cologne: Cologne equals migraine - instant trigger for those prone to headaches
  • Viral and heavy metals: Combination of viral (shingles, EBV, HHV-6, CMV) and heavy metals
  • Viral plus toxic heavy metals: Debilitating migraines are caused by viruses combined with toxic heavy metals
  • Dehydration: Dehydration triggers off migraines
  • Menstrual migraines mechanism: During menstruation, 80% of the immune system redirects to the reproductive system, leaving only 20% to fight viruses/bacteria. Any existing viral condition becomes more active, causing the migraine. The cycle itself is NOT the cause — it just drops immune defenses. Menstrual migraines have nothing to do with hormones.
  • Menstrual cycle: During menstruation, immune system drops and focuses on reproductive system, leaving other areas vulnerable. Streptococcus, EBV, toxic heavy metals can easily bring on headaches when immune system is lowered
  • menstrual_trigger: During menstruation, reproductive system requires 80% of immune function. If body is fighting other triggers (stress, heavy metals, viruses), menstruation can trigger migraine as immune power switches to reproductive system.
  • Epstein-Barr virus: EBV produces neurotoxins that inflame the vagus and phrenic nerves, causing headaches and migraines
  • Electrolyte deficiency trigger: Electrolytes are ions created by salt and other components of bodily fluids; they are used to maintain and send the electrical nerve impulses that run the body — especially the brain, which is the center of the body's electrical activity. When electrolytes run low, brain activity is severely disrupted, which puts a load on the central nervous system and sets off migraines. The most common cause of electrolyte deficiency is dehydration. Top sources to replenish electrolytes: coconut water, cucumber juice, cucumber-apple juice, celery-apple juice (at minimum 12 oz daily of juice blends).
  • EBV: Epstein-Barr virus can cause migraines - millions suffer from migraines as a result of EBV
  • EBV neurotoxin: Epstein-Barr virus releases neurotoxins that inflame cranial nerves
  • Viruses: Eyes are involved, can see flashes or get headache right in the eye
  • Mercury: Heavy metal migraines caused by mercury in the brain
  • Toxic heavy metals: Heavy metals (mercury, aluminum, copper, lead) pollute neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain, causing them to overheat. This overheating creates the intense, throbbing pain of migraines.
  • Toxic heavy metals: Heavy metals in brain pollute neurotransmitter chemicals, creating heat when electrical impulses run on dirty chemicals, leading to migraines
  • Herpes with heavy metals: Herpes family viruses mixed with heavy metals cause migraines
  • Herpes simplex one: Herpes simplex virus causing cranial nerve issues, trigeminal nerve issues
  • Hot weather: Hot weather creates expansion of nerve tissues and swelling. If you have inflammation, heat puts pressure on nerves and causes internal swelling
  • Sleep disruption trigger: Insufficient sound sleep (i.e., uninterrupted sleep with complete dream cycles) creates imbalances in brain chemistry over time. Sleep deprivation is unlikely to cause migraines alone, but it is a major compounding trigger when combined with viral activity, heavy metals, or other stressors. Note: even during insomnia, half the brain is still asleep and healing — understanding this reduces the anxiety that can itself trigger migraines.
  • Chronic dehydration: Lack of proper hydration and mineral salts needed for neurotransmitter chemical rebuilding
  • sleep_disorders: Lack of sound sleep combined with other issues (heavy metals, viral symptoms) can trigger migraines. Eyes-closed rest still heals brain even when awake - half of brain can sleep while other half is awake.
  • low_grade_infections: Low-grade infections of EBV and strep can constantly release neurotoxins, byproduct, and viral waste that raise histamines and create sensitivity. Often the underlying cause that makes other triggers effective.
  • Toxic heavy metals: Mercury and aluminum deposits in different parts of the brain cause overheating, electricity ricochets off metal, interferes with neurons and neurotransmitters
  • Toxic heavy metals in the brain: Mercury, aluminum, copper, lead, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, barium deposit in different parts of the brain. When electrical impulses run on neurotransmitter chemicals contaminated with metal debris/runoff, the chemicals overheat. This heat builds into a migraine. Virtually everyone with a viral migraine ALSO has heavy metals present.
  • Toxic heavy metals: Metals can create migraines, toxic heavy metals can create the worst debilitating migraines
  • Toxic heavy metals: Metals in brain oxidizing causing inflammation in neurons and nerves, creating worst migraines ever
  • MSG, aspartame, and food additive triggers: MSG and aspartame are neurotoxic and can be aggressive triggers for migraine sufferers. Canola, corn, cottonseed, and palm oils are highly inflammatory and contribute to the toxic load. Salt: Celtic sea salt and Himalayan salt are preferable; table salt should be avoided. Alcohol is extremely dehydrating and hard on the liver, compounding migraine susceptibility.
  • Air fresheners: Office air fresheners triggered migraines
  • Shingles virus: Over 30 varieties of shingles virus affect the nerves causing nerve-based migraines
  • Environmental chemical triggers: Perfumes, colognes, air fresheners (especially plug-ins), scented candles — petrochemical-derived fragrances pass the blood-brain barrier and directly trigger migraines. 'Cologne equals migraine.' Scented candles can cause a migraine 3-7 days after exposure. These feed pathogens and contain toxic heavy metals.
  • Fragrances: Perfumes, colognes, air fresheners, scented candles are toxic heavy metals that feed pathogens and trigger migraines
  • Environmental chemicals: Perfumes, colognes, air fresheners, scented candles, and other petrochemical-derived fragrances pass the blood-brain barrier and trigger migraines.
  • Perfume: Second in running after cologne as migraine trigger
  • Shingles virus: Shingles on cranial nerves causing migraines, very responsible for a lot of migraines
  • Shingles virus: Shingles virus can inflame trigeminal or phrenic nerves causing migraines
  • Shingles neurotoxin: Shingles virus releases neurotoxin that creates head pain and inflames cranial nerves
  • Viruses: Shingles virus, Epstein-Barr virus, HHV-6 cause different types of migraines by releasing neurotoxins
  • Herpes simplex 1: The virus behind common fever blisters can nest within trigeminal and phrenic nerves, elevating inflammation just enough to trigger migraines
  • Dirty blood: Thick, dirty blood from high-fat diets and dehydration, plus toxic liver filled with metals and viruses
  • heavy_metals: Toxic heavy metals (mercury, aluminum, lead, copper, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, barium) settle in brain and liver, affecting their ability to function. Can disrupt brain's electrical impulses.
  • Toxic heavy metals: Toxic heavy metals cause migraines
  • Heavy metals: Toxic heavy metals create migraines
  • Menstrual trigger: Uterus inflammation during menstruation triggers migraines in susceptible people due to underlying weakness
  • Neurotoxins: Viral neurotoxins cause migraines
  • Simplex one virus: Virus sits inside trigeminal nerve and cranial nerves, causes headaches
  • Viral neurotoxins: Viruses (shingles, EBV, HHV-6) living in the liver release neurotoxins that travel to the brain and inflame nerves. Different virus strains cause different types of migraines.
  • Viruses: Viruses cause migraines
  • Ammonia permeability: When digestive system isn't working properly, ammonia gas can drift from gut to vagus, phrenic, and trigeminal nerves. Ammonia crosses blood-brain barrier and deprives brain of oxygen, causing spasm and migraine
  • Allergic and histamine reactions: When the body encounters an allergen, it produces histamine as a protective response. In migraine sufferers, this histamine surge can trigger a migraine attack. Gluten (wheat, rye, barley, spelt) specifically confuses the immune system and elevates histamines, triggering migraines. Foods that elevate histamine: fermented foods, vinegar-based foods, nutritional yeast. Chrysanthemum tea, Ester-C, and ginkgo biloba help calm histamine-based migraine reactions.
  • Ammonia permeability trigger: When the digestive system is not working properly, ammonia gas can drift out from the gut to the vagus, phrenic, and/or trigeminal nerves. Ammonia can cross the blood-brain barrier and find its way into all parts of the central nervous system. As the gas deprives these nerves of the oxygen they need, the nerves become inflamed, which disrupts brain functioning and creates migraines. Poor gut health — including low hydrochloric acid — allows dense proteins (meat, eggs) to produce excess ammonia that saturates and irritates the central nervous system.
  • Scented candles: You can be exposed to a scented candle like a week ago and then be sick a week later, three days later, four days later. Scented candles especially trigger migraines
  • Chocolate withdrawal: You can have chocolate two days ago and have a migraine two days later - chocolate withdrawal is caffeine withdrawal from chocolate. People go through chocolate withdrawal every other day, every two to three days
