MIGRAINE RELIEF
Although nothing works every time, we find that a simple combination of mineral salts and vitamins can break the migraine cycle - and often significantly reduce the number of occurrences. Some studies have found that migraine sufferers are often found to have low magnesium and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) levels.

I came across a formula in a symposium a few years ago. It is based on deficiencies that one doctor said most of his migraine sufferers had in common. We refer to this as formula # 2424. It  provides in each capsule;

  • Magnesium Oxide 37.5mg
  • Magnesium Glycinate 37.5mg
  • Riboflavin 100mg
  • Feverfew Extract 50mg
  • Calcium Citrate Tetrahydrate 50mg

People use 2 to 3 capsules every 3 to 4 hours (not more than 8 capsules in 24 hours) to break a migraine. It helps if the migraine sufferer is able to rest after taking these capsules. Magnesium helps relax muscles and it can bring about sleepiness. The riboflavin an cause discoloration of the urine.

We have also had success with a formula that contains ibuprofen (i.e.. Motrin). This is formula # 264. It provides the following in each capsule;

  • Ibuprofen 200mg
  • Riboflavin 100mg
  • Sodium Bicarbonate 72mg
  • Caffeine Citrate 65mg

People use 1 to 3 capsules every 3 to 6 hours as needed for headache relief - do not exceed 8 capsules in 24 hours. This formula does not seem to cause drowsiness, but it can be irritating to the stomach.
