Comment on Interview With an Ex-Migraine Sufferer by migraine

I have been struggeling with migraine for about 7 years now. Then my doctor did an allergy test and I have a light histamine intollerance. Since then I am carefull with what I eat and this has helped me very much.

Also I read that stress was a big factor. Now I do some Reiki once in a while when I am stressed. This also helps me keep my migraine under control.

I can reccomend keeping a diary. Keep track of the foods you eat so you can see a pattern emerging. This hes helped me identify my personal triggers…

Comment on Oranges Can Cause Magnesium Deficiency… and Migraines by Lance Miller

I don’t know about magnesium, but I can definitively say that oranges can cause migraines. I am a scientist by profession, and it took me a number fo years to figure out that oranges are the major trigger for my migraines. As a kid, I started getting migraines (always the visual aura first, followed by a mild to moderate headache that lingers for hours) after strenuous activities like basketball, hard workouts, etc., but it was hit and miss – only about 1 out of 5 to 10 physical workouts would produce a migraine. Later, in college, I began experimenting with my diet as a way to control the migraines as I liked to play basketball and other sports on a daily basis. One of the first things I did, among other things, was to drink orange juice each morning. My migraines subsequently escalated from once a month to several times a week. I became desparate and scanned the internet for ideas. Most lists of migraine triggers I came across included the more usual suspects like caffeine, etc. Then one day, I saw oranges and grapefruits on a list of possible triggers. So I cut out the OJ and, voila. My migraines went COMPLETELY away. Over the years I would occasionally have an outburst of migraines within a period of a week, then realize that orange matter was the culprit. Once it was a hot tea, where the leaves were steeped in essence of orange. Other times it was icetea made with oranges, a japanese Teppanyaki sauce, even smoked meat flavored with orange slices. I also learned that grapefruits and pomelos (a large sweet Asian cousin of the grapefruit) induce my migraines as well. Over the years, because of occasional mistakes, I have definitively learned that each time I ingest even the smallest amount of orange or grapefruit matter, a migraine will follow within 24 hours – EACH and EVERY TIME. Once I finally cut oranges out of my diet as a young adult, I believe that my sensitivity to the mystery chemical in oranges increased, such that the migraines no longer require strenuous physically activity to manifest. On the flip side, I can play basketball for hours and never get a migraine, so long as I avoid oranges and grapefruits. Interestingly, other citrus such as lime and lemons have no effect at all. I can consume them in large ammounts with no fear of a migraine. I am sure that my condition is a special (and very fortunate) case, as clearly most migraine sufferers have different, or multiple, triggers not related to oranges. However, if you want to test whether your migraines are related to orange/grapefruit intake, like mine, it’s easy enough to give it a try – just cut them out of your diet completely and observe. Hope this helps someone.

Hi Sile

I have a 23 year old son suffering from migranes for approx 12 yrs. He also has major depressions but dont exercise. I told him about you experience and he is now keen and trying to eliminate certain foods, do you suggest he goes for a food allergy test or work on his own by eliminating the commom daily foods then see what happens? Please you you advise in your experience

Thanking you in anticipation

Comment on Truth or Lies: Causes of Migraines and Cluster Headaches by Claire Steggles

Claire Steggles — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:07:24 +0000

Hi Sile, first of all can I totally agree there about doctors I definitely think 90% of people who have lost faith in any advice they give are migraine sufferes, they simply dont have the compassion to spend the time to even begin to think of the causes because its not like a cut or something that shows up in a scan they feel compelled to simply dismiss our pain and imply we are exaggerating or making it up. Anyway, hi im claire and I have just turnes 21. It was just after my 18th birthday that I started realising big pains behind my eyes when I woke in the morning which would sure enough develop into a migraine or massive headache a little afterwards. I started noticing that this pain would instantly worsen and I would start to feel dizzy and disorientated when I was in a supermarket or shop, then it was in studios, offices, when watching tv or on the laptop. Now ive come to the conclusion that pretty much anywhere where it is bright/light including sunlight it is painful! I turn to sunglasses for relief, which means I wear practically all day, which pretty much means I look like strange or a bit of an idioy frankly when im shopping sporting.these huge dark shades! I am a trained actress and I have had to give it up recently as I cant focus on managing the pain and focus on the work I love to do. I think I have irlens syndrome. Have you heard or come across this at all? I am a believer in self healing etc but it hasnt worked for me so far, yet I have only tried to do this myself and not really had a mentor or anything. Do you think I would benefit from your method I am very willing to give anything a try and would really appreciate any advice. Thanks, Claire.

Comment on Did Larry King Interview Sile on Migraines? by Sile

Sile — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 05:47:14 +0000

Hi Denis, since I posted this little video (which I am very glad you enjoyed), I’ve been helping a number of people with their migraines – their causes were all different to mine. This is proving to them that if you have a system or method that’s rock solid, it will work on the 300 or more causes of migraines. I disagree with you when you say cologne or cheese being the ultimate cause – they (and others) are triggers, not causes – there are causes beyond the ‘product’ itself which when that cause is tackled head on and removed, the person usually finds that what used to be a trigger for them is now completely safe to eat or smell. This excludes special cases where they have spinal injury or have something pressing against their occipital nerve. How is your wife now since her surgery? Did it help her with her migraines?

While I enjoyed this, you do know there are over 300 causes of migraines. While this sentence said it all”I found a METHOD that helped ME get rid of my migraines” for you. While I’m glad you found your cause, many migraine sufferers can’t find their trigger/cause of their migraines. I also know one woman that finally found out that her migraines was caused by aged cheese” food allergies”, another was her sons cologne, and of course their migraines ceased once they backed away from the trigger. The list goes on. I agree that a migraine sufferer has to take the bull by the horns. Many doctors just give a pill, that in time makes headaches worse. Migraines get what I call (out of whack) very easy. By the way, my wife had to have migraine surgery for her migraines. She has a very good headache specialist that came highly recommended, and only one of a few in the USA to do this type of surgery. In a few cases, the nerve, such as the occipital have something pressing against them, and a migraine sufferer can have 24/7 pain. But that just reverts back to another cause of migraines/headaches.( Enjoyed)

Thank you for your comment, Jim. I wonder what would happen if more people started paying attention to their emotions, attitudes and reactions and they were given the tools to transforming or melting them into ones that are helpful not harmful.
