is an alternative medical guy. If you've tried the mainstream and not had success... or need something that might not be so expensive... below is an artical he recently wrote.
I've worked in health care also, and mainstream medicine is mainstream for a reason. By all means work that approach. However, I observe the alternative stuff might work for a smaller percentage of people, but if you are one of them, ... it works!
I seem to recall you have tried about everything already. Including the below. For many people it can be an allergy reaction to some types of food, or food groups? There are some blood tests for food allergies that are less than $100.
As best we can figure, I get headaches if I eat food that has had pesticides applied at some point. Even if it has been washed off, it is in it.
Complicated stuff.
Hope you can find your key (the actual trigger), and something you can afford and practically do.

Relieve migraines with
a special ear treatment
Migraine headaches can be completely debilitating. They can cause temporary blindness, dizziness, nausea, and extreme pain. So the results of a new study are great news for anyone who suffers from these terrible headaches.
In this study, the researchers wanted to find out if acupuncture could relieve the pain and other symptoms of migraine headaches. What they found will surprise most conventional doctors.
The researchers took 94 women who suffered from migraines and gave them two different types of acupuncture. They found that needling the âsciaticâ point in the ear was not as effective as needling the appropriate points on the ear for head pain. The authors concluded that a physical representation of your body does exist in your external ear. They also found that these points render specificity to ear acupuncture if the acupuncturist does it appropriately.
I love acupuncture. Years ago, the first private hospital where I applied for privileges forbid me practicing acupuncture. Why? At my âinterviewâ (more like an inquisition), an extremely hostile orthopedic surgeon (who did scores of reckless back surgery) asked what the AMA position was on acupuncture. Well, the year was 1983, and I honestly answered âplacebo.â Needless to say, he didnât care about science or clinical experience.
Many years have passed and acupuncture is now widely accepted, but not likely in that hospital. Here we see the migraine headaches can be remedied in women with appropriate needling.
Lots of people continue to say that acupuncture is a placebo. If it were, sham needling should achieve the same effect. It doesnât. We see that the right use of acupuncture has real results.
That blustery one-size-fits-all (surgery for everything) orthopedic surgeon has since passed on. I do hope that his reckless attitudes regarding non-invasive methods have passed on as well from that Anchorage hospital.
Please consider acupuncture as a reasonable alternative for migraine, or in fact, any pain. Itâs far, far safer than chemical and knife treatment. And itâs often more effective.
Yours for better health and medical freedom,

Ok, I promise this will be my last post about my migraines on this thread guys. Please feel to continue to pm me any info or suggestions at anytime. I read them all and do tons of research. I appreciate each one of you for taking the time to try to help.
Acupuncture has actually been one of the most helpful types of treatment I have come across so far. I try to go as often as I can, but lately, I don't even have enough gas money to get there, let alone pay for it
If anyone has any suggestions about how I could possibly make any extra money (some sort of online option?? Like maybe legit sites that pay for surveys or something like that?-- I really have no clue?)
I have to figure out very very soon how I can continue to even survive (food, transportation, living arrangements, etc) I'm in pretty dire circumstances right now. Sorry to keep whining about it all. I just don't know what to do anymore. Please pm me anytime, and again thank you all for your input and also for continuing to love my thread
Now, to make up for all the blah blah blah....
(Oh, and yes Lucrum, thanks for posting her, very beautiful woman)
