More migraine relief

Natural Health, June, 2008 by John Schmalz, Erika L. Krause

After reading "How Can I Treat a Migraine?" I couldn't help but suggest one more alternative treatment called Alpha-Stim (alpha-stim .com). It's an FDA-approved medical device that uses electrical energy at almost imperceptible levels. I have used it successfully to help ease pain, anxiety, and even restless leg syndrome, and I have not had any side effects.

In "How Can I Treat a Migraine?" I was surprised you didn't mention monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a migraine trigger. There are plenty of studies about the effects of MSG on migraines. I have eliminated processed foods from my diet and have reduced my migraines by 80 percent. I've also lost weight and ended food cravings and no longer suffer from restless leg syndrome or insomnia. It takes a little more effort to cook from scratch, but the benefits are well worth it.
