Migraine relief

Thank you again for your help!

Interesting. But the site seems to just pop today’s date on the press release - today it says it’s new today. :frowning:

I’m guessing after 10 years since the pilot study, they must not have had such dramatic results for most people. The mechanisms for other kinds of headaches are different from migraine, so it makes sense to me that other headaches might respond better and more consistently.

Glad it’s making a difference for you – that has to be a huge relief!

Hmmm. Not very confidence inspiring, I agree. Looks like they don’t have the answer

I’ve had incredible success for migraines. The week prior to ordering I had two migraines that had me praying to every deity I could think of. Quite literally, crying in pain. But now if I have the start of one, blurry vision, I put it on and it stops any migraine cold.

I put it on both temples and turn it on max strength. I recommend rechargeable 9-volt batteries so you can leave in your pocket and go about your day.

@steverhodes1 Have you tried infrared light therapy to help with peripheral neuropathy? Have had great success with it here.

Yes, I have. It works well for increasing blood flow for 3 or 4 hours to improve muscle response. I don’t have associated pain but all the reports I have seen indicate that it is very effective for pain relieve. The effects temporary, though.
About a year ago II replaced near infra red with PEMF with the hope I would get a permanent effect (using a B5 unit). It seems to be given a better response than the near infra red. I don’t know if it would be as effective for pain modulation, which I understand is function of improved blood flow.

Probably would be good to use both modalities, but not enough hours in the day.

Also using hyperbaric oxygen treatment for 1.5 hours weekly. I went on an economy drive a few months ago and dropped the frequency to once monthly. It was a disaster. Condition deteriorated so much in the next two months that I was more than happy to cough up the cash and get back on a weekly schedule.

Thanks for sharing your detailed experience with all three modalities.

Hi Steverhodes1; just an FYI that is worth looking into. If you need weekly hyperbaric chamber therapy, you may want to look into LiveO2. It has both negative and positive oxygen settings while you exercise and it is supposed to give many of the benefits of hyperbaric, but in a much shorter amount of time. (you can Youtube it). You can buy a home unit for I believe around $4000 and do it daily. I use it professionally in my clinic and it is an incredible modality.

Thanks, SR. I will check it out.

steverhodes1 Reading back through this thread, I wanted to ask: are you dealing with unexplained peripheral neuropathy? I am finding the likely culprit of my unexplained peripheral neuropathy to be peroxynitrite and have had good results the last 3 months with taking the supplements that reduce the production of peroxynitrite and help scavenge the peroxynitrite that is produced.

Thanks for the heads up, TajD. My neuropathy is unexplained, except that heavy metal have been ruled out. The peroxynitrite connection is interesting and may will be a contributor. For the past 7 years I have participated in a “longevity” program that has included NO generators for vaso-dilation such as arginine, niacin and cialis, though I can’t recall if the mechanism behind tadalafil is NO. My neurapthy started a couple years before I started the longevity program, so my issues may not be attributable to that. I will certainly dig deeper. If I may ask, what supplements have you found helpful?

Researched Nutritionals ATP360 and PHP Peroxynitrite Scavenger have made a major difference for me. Now sharing this approach with relatives who also have unexplained PN. Will be interesting to see how they fare as well.

I have had great success immediately reducing migraine pain and eventually stopping it after ~2 hours by having coils on both temples (using M1, Alpha, Power 9) held on by a head band. I haven’t tried other configurations.

I have been able to be pain killer free (I would take 4 ibuprofen pills for migraines) for over 2 years now thanks to @Bob ICES PEMF.

That is excellent feedback, thanks. I am trying to figure out why ICES works well for many people with migraine, but not-so-well for others who try exactly the same procedure. It is about 50% - 50% in terms of success. I think this is probably due to fundamentally different forms of migraine that are involved.

In my case, I have learned that my 3-4 migraines per week for 15 years were a function of endotoxemia caused by lipopolysaccharides from gut dysbiosis. I have reduced migraines by doing the 4 R’s of gut health, but when they do come on, because I am killing off things too fast from either an herbal tincture, or ICES PEMF on the gut, or from doing paleo, it is invaluable to have ICES PEMF to stop the migraines. I pretty much never get a headache now, whereas before they would define my days and were very limiting.

OK, I see, and then probably other people have completely different underlying issues, so they would respond to ICES-PEMF differently, or maybe not at all. That makes sense to me.

interesting… if i kill things off too fast and a big headache is coming on (i don’t identify it as a migraine bc i don’t know what that really feels like or is)… usually a throbbing type pounding headache that begins at front to middle of my head…

when that starts up, i have found taking L ornithine 2-3g takes care of them. the idea is that helps reduce the ammonia build up from the die off created… :man_shrugging:t2:

I am at the beginning of trying to stop/repair my neuropathy. I am going to start with PEMF and microcurrent using a M1 and Alpha-Stim M. I will also add EWOT as it is much cheaper than hyperbaric chamber. Did you continue using any light therapy while using PEMF?

Light therapy is a nice complement to PEMF, accelerating the results, but light therapy alone didn’t move the needle on neuropathy for me. HBOT helped temporarily however I did 5 sessions so I think I would many more sessions to have seen a lasting impact. ICES PEMF definitely is the only thing that I have found that has truly and durably helped.

i look forward to hearing about your ewot experience. considering our aerobic system, ewot is such a great way to more comprehensively take in oxygen. the way our bodies circulate blood/oxygen during exercise will ensure deep saturation of oxygen. reading about how the body works with oxygen, you’ll get oxygen in places where you wouldn’t typically when just being stationary.

after my next purchase of a c5, i want to experiment with ewot!
