SO MUCH MORE THAN A "HEADACHE"
When someone describes your migraine as a "headache", you can be sure they've never experienced one. While the medical community can still only hypothesize as to the cause of migraine, few debate the general consensus that it is a neurological disorder.
The problem is that in attempting to treat migraine disease, most physicians only look at the neurology of the brain, unaware that we have a second neurological center in our gut. It is this neurological center, we believe, that holds the key not just to relieving migraine symptoms, but to healing the underlying imbalance for good. |
Migraine is the most common neurological disorder in the world. |
Effectively treating it requires an understanding of the neurology of the gut.

40% of migraine sufferers have also been diagnosed with IBS. 95% of the body's serotonin, the target of migraine abortive triptan drugs as well as antidepressans like Prozac, is made in the gut. |
Why hasn't my doctor mentioned this? One of the unfortunate realities of modern medicine is that what the researchers discover in the laboratory often takes years to become common knowledge amongst the doctors who treat us. There is a growing conversation about the "gut/brain connection", but very little understanding of the gut brain as a unique neurological center. |

THE MYTH OF MIGRAINE AS A "CHRONIC" CONDITIONA key principle of natural medicine asserts that no condition is truly "incurable" because every disease simply represents an underlying imbalance that needs to be addressed. Natural medicine does not focus on symptoms of illness, but rather, the dysfunction that is manifesting those symptoms. On the contrary, Western medicine focuses on managing the symptoms of migraine and views migraine disease as a "chronic" condition, meaning it can be treated but not cured. The truth is, you can't cure any disease unless you address its root cause. The problem with existing migraine medications is that they are aimed only at the symptoms, not the underlying imbalance. And, more specifically, the symptoms manifesting in the brain--i.e. the headache. When it comes to migraine, doctors have been looking at the wrong 'brain'. No wonder they believe the condition is chronic.

ARE YOU SAYING I SHOULDN'T TAKE MY PAIN MEDS?Not at all. Migraines are miserable, and there are some medications out there that are very effective at easing the pain and suffering that accompanies them. Just understand that those drugs have their limitations. They don't address the underlying imbalance, so they can't prevent the next attack. (Which means you will remain dependent on them.) Unnatural interventions often cause harmful side-effects and put stress on other organ systems. That said, we are not suggesting that you to stop taking anything that is helping you cope with your migraines. You can stay on your meds; they won't interact with our protocol. Our goal, however, is to help you get to the point where you find you don't need them anymore.
