riboflavin (vitamin B-2) coenzyme Q10 celery juice FOR MigraneS

Migrane Begone!

German researchers demonstrated that a 400 mg daily dose of riboflavin (vitamin B-2) may cut migraine frequency in half. And coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) was also shown to halve the frequency of migraines by promoting respiration in the powerhouses of the cell: the mitochondria.

Another natural cure is the Celery juice. Juice up a bunch of Celery and take 2 oz of juice whenever you feel a migraine is coming on. Then I lay down and within 30 minutes your migraine should start going away (most of the time). If your migraine doesn't go away, step two calls for another helping of Celery juice, this time doubled to four ounces. The usual result? Some people report that they have never had to take a third dose. Try it!

People who have migraines know only too well how challenging the condition is. To make matters worse, a recent study has confirmed an association between migraine and elevated risk of ichemic stroke.

An international research team headed up by Royal Victoria and Vancouver Hospitals in Canada conducted a review of 14 individual studies to investigate a possible link between migraine and an increased risk of ischemic stroke. This type of stroke is caused by blood clots that obstruct blood flow to the brain. As reported in a recent issue of the British Medical Journal (2005), researchers assessed three cohort studies and 11 case-controlled studies. An analysis of the combined results indicated that patients with migraines are more than twice as likely to have an ischemic stroke compared to people who don't get migraines. The risk is slightly higher for those who experience aura (flash of lights), and slightly lower for those who have migraine without aura.

Researchers found this risk to be considerably higher if a migraine patient happens to be women who use oral contraceptives. Their risk may be as much as eight times greater than women without migraine.

One of the researchers - Ali Samii, M.D. - told Reuters Health that the study clearly indicates that, "migraine may be an independent risk factor for stroke." Dr. Samii notes that the reduced blood flow to the brain that accompanies migraines probably plays a role in triggering strokes.
