Doctors
have different theories about the causes of migraines
and headaches. Most doctors agree, however, that they
have multiple causes and that it is important to do
a thorough examination if you have recurring headaches.
Here
are a few of the most common causes:
In
naturopathic medicine, headache and migraine is seen
as a 'toxic' condition and a signal from the body that
there is an imbalance in organ functioning. Naturopaths
will treat the condition, rather than the symptom only
and the goal is therefore to restore health and
proper organ functioning, not only to relieve pain symptomatically.

| What is the Conventional Treatment for Headaches and Migraines?
Prescription painkillers and synthetic drugs used to treat migraine and chronic headache may reduce the pain associated with these conditions, but do not address the causes. This means that the person must continue to suffer and be dependent on the use of painkillers. The 'rebound effect' of many painkillers is well-known but seldom discussed in medical circles. In essence, the 'rebound effect' means that continued use of some synthetic painkillers can be the cause of future headaches, making the person dependent on the drug indefinitely. The chemicals in synthetic drugs can also accumulate in the liver, reducing liver functioning and overall health - often causing more frequent headaches.
Are you addicted to synthetic painkillers?
Many synthetic
painkillers contain chemicals that can result in dependency,
which leads to daily use of the drug and withdrawal
effects when it is stopped. This is both expensive
and very bad for one's health. The effects of long
term and regular use of some synthetic painkillers
are not yet fully researched. Anyone who finds themselves
needing to take prescription and OTC painkillers
regularly should consult their health care practitioner
for help.
MiGone Plus is especially formulated by a Clinical Psychologist and is a concentrated medicinal extract of three herbs especially chosen to address three of the principle underlying causes of chronic headache and migraine - liver dysfunction, stress and circulation problems. MiGone Plus does more than just remove pain in the short term and is formulated to treat the underlying causes of headaches and migraine. Regular use can result in a significant reduction in the frequency and intensity of chronic head pain. MiGone
Plus must be used daily to prevent the occurrence
of chronic headaches and migraine. An initial six
weeks course is recommended at full dosage, followed
by a further six weeks at half dosage. Some people
may need a repeat course once or twice a year, depending
on lifestyle and dietary factors.
An
additional dose may be taken at the early onset of
migraine or headache. This often stops the pain in
its tracks.
MiGone
Plus can be used in conjuction with other remedies
for comprehensive treatment
of certain conditions. Here are some examples:
Mi-Gone
Plus is not a pain killer, nor is it a short term
solution to headaches and migraine. It must be taken regularly
as a long term solution and can take 6 - 8 weeks
to show full results, although improvement is often
noticed earlier in the form of fewer and less
intense headaches.
Tanecetum
parthenium (Feverfew) is
a well-known medicinal herb and one
of the most widely respected in the
prophylactic (preventative) treatment
of migraine and chronic headache.
There are many clinical studies
to support its effectiveness in significantly
reducing or completely eliminating
the occurrence and the severity of
chronic headache and migraine. Scientific
research has demonstrated that Feverfew
contains a range of compounds called
sesquiterpene lactones, the principle
ingredient being parthenolide. Parthenolide
has been scientifically shown to
prevent excessive clumping of blood
platelets and to reduce the release
of certain pain inducing chemicals
and inflammatory compounds. It
has also been shown to make smooth
muscle in the walls of cerebral blood
vessels less reactive to vaso-constrictors
- thereby relaxing constricted blood
vessels and increasing blood flow
to the brain.
Silybum
marianus (Milk Thistle) is
regarded as one of the most important
herbal liver tonics and restoratives.
As is the case with Feverfew, medical
use of Milk Thistle may be traced
back more than 2000 years. Like Feverfew,
Milk Thistle has been subject to many
clinical trials which clearly
demonstrate its effectiveness. It
is frequently recommended to counteract the
harmful effects of alcohol and other
drugs on the liver and clinical
studies have shown that it helps
the liver to return to normal functioning
once drinking has stopped.
Scientific
analysis of Milk Thistle shows
that it contains a flavonoid complex called
silymarin, which is largely responsible
for the medical benefits of
this herb. Silymarin is a powerful
anti-oxidant and can block the
entrance of toxins into the liver
and remove toxins at cellular level,
thereby resulting in regeneration
of liver cells and improved liver
functioning. This would have a direct
impact on overall systemic health
as the liver is one of the most important
organs in the body.
Passiflora
incarnata is a tropical herb
which has been used since the 19th
century for nervous conditions. Modern
research supports traditional
usage and clinical trials have
demonstrated the relaxing and anti-anxiety
effects of Passiflora. Passiflora
is often recommended to treat anxiety
and reduce tension and is also very
useful in reducing the withdrawal
symptoms of recovering drug addicts
and alcoholics. Medical
analysis has shown that Passiflora
contains flavonoids which are responsible
for its calming and anti-anxiety effects.
How
Has Migone Plus Helped Others? "After years of headaches I tried MiGone. I am now completely off the pain tablets for the first time since I can remember" - William, UK "I had (stress induced) migraine headaches at least once a week ever since my son was born 3 1/2 yrs ago. The pain was horrible causing my life to stop for hours at a time. I was on 2 prescription medications costing approx. $316/month (I have no med insurance), and I still got the headaches. I tried MiGone Plus about 5 months ago. I figured what could I lose. I did exactly as they said, and I am happy to say I have been migraine free for about 4 months now. I never thought it could be possible that something so affordable could do what those expensive prescriptions couldn't. Thank you so much for such a wonderful product!" - Natalie, PA "Thank you for your wonderful products, especially Mi-Gone Plus! I have been a sufferer of cluster headaches since my teens and no-one could find the cause. The money I spent on pain medication was no joke and it always made me feel sick the next day. Since taking a course of Mi-Gone I have only had one attack, which was quite mild and went away sooner than usual." - Karen, USA "I wanted to write and recommend Mi-Gone Plus to anyone who suffers from migraine like I do. It has made a tremendous difference!" - Steward, USA "I have recently used your Natural products for severe headache/migraine. For many months I have been trying various drugs etc, and have in fact been referred to a specialist because of the lack of relief I have received from these drugs. I decided to ship to England your products, I have combined the MiGone Plus with PureCalm and have received an amazing relief from my problems. I have used the products for three weeks and they have changed the quality of my life completely. I wholeheartedly endorse these products, and have become an Affiliate of this company. Thank you!" - David, USA "Julia (married, 33 years old) came to see me on the advice of her doctor. She was suffering from recurring headaches and migraines. Medical investigation revealed no obvious cause and her doctor was concerned that Julia's headaches were psychological in origin. During her first consultation, she told me that she was taking over-the-counter painkillers on a daily basis and found that she needed stronger and stronger tablets to ease the pain of her headaches. Apart from the stress related to caring for a young family, Julia did not seem to have any particular problems which could be causing her chronic headaches and migraines and there was no sign of an underlying problem from her childhood. I told her about the 'rebound effect' of painkilling tablets and that it was possible that the very medication that she was taking to relieve her headaches was also causing them to recur. Together, Julia and I decided that we would beat her headaches once and for all! I put her on a detox diet and recommended that she take MiGone Plus daily, cautioning her that it might take a month or more for her to see positive effects. During the first week, Julia's headaches continued and she used PureCalm to relax and help with the pain. By the second week, her headaches were less frequent and much less severe and Julia was beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. When she visited me at the end of the fourth week, Julia had experienced only one mild headache in the previous 10 days and she was really feeling the benefits of the detox diet! At her three months follow up visit, Julia was headache free and very proud of herself! It just goes to show that, even though headaches and migraines are often caused by psychological factors, this is not always the case. Had Julia's doctor been more knowledgeable about herbal medicines, he may have been able to save her a trip to the psychologist!" - Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist
