This protocol is for the healing of headaches in general and migraines especially. One may be dealing with either or both, but this protocol will generally work on both. Migraines have usually been described as vascular in nature involving excessive dilation or contraction of the brain’s blood vessels. More recent research has indicated that they may be caused by inflammation in the meninges causing abnormal neurological activity. Non-migraine headaches tend to be cause by muscular tension or even inflammation that can lead to the interruptions in the blood circulation to the head.
The underlying causes of headaches and migraines can also be a bad diet and a toxic environment.
The following suggestions are for therapeutic use and accelerated healing of the underlying cause of headaches, whether migraine or general. When the symptoms are gone, which is usually accomplished within hours depending on the severity of the problem, one can then go to the suggested maintenance serving on the bottle. Each individual may or may not require all of these supplements and not everyone may need to use all of these, except in severe or migraine cases. If one has what might be considered a chronic problem with headaches, it may well be necessary to utilize a broader healing protocol approach using most or all of the following supplement suggestions. If the problem is more acute in nature, appearing once in a while rather than ongoing, the use of Membrane Complex with Enzymes and Magnesium Oil may be enough to provide healing relief. It is usually necessary to determine for yourself what works and then use those elements for your personal and individualized protocol.
For a periodic acute general headache (listed in order of probable importance):
Membrane Complex (Magnesium, Calcium, & Potassium)- Take 3-5 capsules immediately and repeat again within 1-2 hours. Repeat every 2 hours until the headache is healed. This product enables the muscles to function more efficiently in their contraction (Calcium) and relaxation (Magnesium). Muscles deficient in Magnesium are probably the number one cause of headaches and is the first thing you should try.
Bromelain – Take 1 capsule with each serving of Membrane Complex and any other supplement (except other enzymes) to enhance the digestion and absorption.
Enzyme Complex– Immediately take 3-5 tablets of this broad spectrum enzyme on an empty stomach to regulate and diminish the inflammatory response, which may be the second biggest cause of headaches. Be sure and drink 32-64 ounces of water daily and increase this amount when using any enzyme therapeutically.
Magnesium Oil & DMSO – Massage 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of magnesium oil into the sole of each foot and around the temples and base of the neck and shoulders. Follow that by a small amount of DMSO which will aid in carrying the oil deeper into the tissues. Always be sure that the skin and feet are well cleaned before using DMSO as it can also carry unwanted material and contaminates into the tissue.
For Migraines or chronic headaches you may want to use the following therapeutic suggestions. After the migraine has been relieved drop to the maintenance amounts as suggested on the bottles for continued healing (listed in order of probable importance):
Membrane Complex– Take 3-5 tablets immediately and repeat again within 1-2 hours. Repeat every 2 hours until the headache is healed. Then take 3-5 capsules at bedtime if the migraine persists. Doing a therapeutic amount at bedtime will enhance relaxation and sleep.
Enzyme Complex– Immediately take 3-5 tablets of this broad spectrum enzyme on an empty stomach to regulate and diminish the inflammatory response. Then take 1-3 tablets every hour on an empty stomach for 5-8 hours if necessary. Be sure and drink 32-64 ounces of water daily and increase this amount when using any enzyme therapeutically as it can increase water elimination.
Magnesium Oil & DMSO – Massage 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of magnesium oil into the sole of each foot and around the temples and base of the neck and shoulders. Follow that by a small amount of DMSO which will aid in carrying the oil deeper into the tissues. Always be sure that the skin and feet are well cleaned before using DMSO as it can also carry unwanted material and contaminates into the tissue.
CoQ10– Take 1-3 capsules 3 times daily to increase blood flow to the brain and tissue oxygenation.
Flax Seed Oil – Take 1-3 tablespoon daily to enhance brain cell and fat metabolism and to aid in keeping blood vessels from abnormally constricting.
Vitamin C – Take 3-6 capsules (3,000-6,000 mg) daily to aid in the production of anti-stress hormones.
Taurine – Take 1-3 capsules (1,000-3,000 mg) daily as an important antioxidant and immune regulator, needed for white blood cell activation and neurological function.
MSM– Take 1000 mg (1 capsule) three times per day with 3-5 Enzyme tablets on an empty stomach. High amounts of enzymes will also reduce the inflammation and break down the fibrin build up in the joints and around the tendons. It will also improve circulation which accelerates healing.
This is optional, but overall mineral deficiencies may be a part of the underlying cause of chronic headaches and migraines. IntraMax Super Therapeutic Vitamin, Mineral, & Herbal Formula– Take 1/4 oz daily for 7 days, then 1/2 oz daily for 7 days, after that you may want to finish the bottle at 1 oz daily. This is one of the very best vitamin, mineral, and herbal formulas on the market and will provide your body with most of the essential trace minerals and vitamins to enhance the healing process. We generally recommend mixing this 50/50 with 75 Plant Derived Colloidal Minerals and then taking 1-2 oz. per day during the continued healing period. After that 1/2 oz per day may be adequate.
(Note: Generally the dosages indicated on the bottles are for maintenance purposes and are not therapeutic amounts One may need therapeutic amounts for 1-3 weeks, but after your symptoms are gone, you will probably only need the minimum daily maintenance amounts.
Healing our bodies is no accident. If this protocol is diligently followed, most people should see noticeable relief within hours.
