Kelly, I have totally given up coffee, and that hasn’t changed headaches for me. I was into coffee at a young age though, and have also “quit” for a few weeks at a time at least thrice in my adult years, but I’m off it for good now.

I’ve had accummulating things with it in regards to how it makes me be overall, too acidic, as does “water” alone too, btw. I have O+ blood type, and according to “Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type” info that is someone with an acidic tummy in the first place, all natural. Beneficial things for this type of person are things that calm the tummy/body, the author says.

I have known that without “knowing” it all along. It was great to “read it” and “know that I knew” for sure back a few years ago when I first read about it.

So recently I took it all to heart and decided to cold turkey quit coffee. I did and suffered nothing from it. 🙂 I’ve had that experience before as well, but also one major “withdrawl” sort of cold turkey session in my 20’s, FWIW.

The beneficialness for me has been a less overall acidic tummy after awhile, and that translates into whole body feel too.

I wanted to be drinking green tea for quite some time, but couldn’t kick the “coffee” idea, and only have been truly drinking green and herbal teas regularly now for a week or just a bit more. :veryshocked:

It’s as if I’ve been a tea drinker all along, now. 🙂

How that relates to migraines, I think mine are somewhat hormonal cyclicalness related, but not fully so. I would say some are that, but most are attached to a mysterious phenomenon inside me. I’ve wanted to “detox” for a couple of years, but have steered clear of it from the “gross out” factor of actually doing anything de-tox-ish.

Oh, progesterone cream, I do have an old tube of it, that I use on occassion, when I feel very, very “should sew my mouth shut” … and I don’t use it other than that. I have in the past tried to use it monthly, and find that I’m not too into feeling so very happy too much 😉

I do truly mean that, but it’s not just that, it’s that if something can really do that, what are the side issues that it could cause? I don’t know, am not asking, just know I’d rather use it as a small tool of aiding me at times of weakness, smooth over my roughest edges in peak irritable times.

Now, about vinegar on a cloth for my head, I haven’t tried that, and don’t know if I want to, since vinegar is acidic, and so am I. 🙂 I love green olives and pickles, though, they are very acidic, well, they are very much too much for me, but I suffer gladly for them. Maybe I could put a pickle on my forehead and that’d be easier to deal with then. :shocked: 😆

I have hope for the future, with my LifePak supplements due to arrive any day now, that should get me started on some things that I’ve been missing that might be keys to unlocking the migraine mystery in me, just a few of the doors, not all of them, would be fine. Eventually I’ll detox, and have my mercury junk removed from my teeth and get it out of my system somehow, and then we’ll see what’s what with me.

Thanks for the tips! Glad to hear you have been doing better with your migraines. It’s a gladdening heart thing to hear of one’s struggles, shared by another, being improved upon in their life. 🙂

I haven’t given that much thought to it yet, I am gearing up towards it, hoping to do it this year, but not sure when I’ll start. I think I’ll want a pro aiding me, a Naturalist doctor, but I don’t have one as of this time.

I know I’ll need to do a lot of things when doing it, it’s nothing simple, and so your ideas are not too much, just way early, and thought provoking –so very timely for me. 🙂

I’ll check into the AppleCiderVinegar and see about it, too.

thanks kelly, thanks about the water, I don’t drink it, that much, still, really I can’t stand trying, it’s so very thirst CREATING for me, always has been. So … I was talking about it since the info from the dentist was about that as well, drink, drink, drink for a hydrated body which equals “on the way to healthy” … but my experimentations with it in the past and my current trial of trying to drink SOME everyday puts me squarely in the “I haven’t gone even a half-year long in drinking water every day” … which means, most all my life I haven’t drunk hardly any water every single day, and am alive. 🙂 When “they” all say you will die from dehydration otherwise. Ha.

As for finding the dentist, there is a website that I have to get the address for from my hubby. I’ll post it here later when I can access it.

From the reading I’ve done online it’s very scary about mercury, what it can do to a body. Some people are MORE bothered by it than others. I am one that is very sensitive to many things, and I figure this is just another one to add to the list, probably. I mean, I had the mouth mercury testing, which if it’s an accurate test is scary compared to what the dentist told me about EPA and OSHA standards. Literally that mercury just plainly lingering in my mouth, being swallowed every time I chew, or just swallow anything.

Online stuff talks of how it gets into the brain and is difficult to get out of the brain. It gets into the organs of the body, but can be detoxed or chelated out “easily” comparatively to brain mercury chelation … like it might be more and more difficult for every year older a person is. So for me, it might be harder or too hard or impossible to fully get it out, if it’s there, and I don’t know how far I’ll be able to go into finding that out. Ugh.

Also, in the literature I’ve gotten there is ADA info about amalgam fillings and mercury and they support removing, with full disclosure to patients about it all, informed consent allowing them to keep the fillings, but supporting taking them out, not that it will help every person for sure, but CAN help them. That sort of thing. It’s more than that, but strange that it’s hard to find a mercury-free dentist still.

My new dentist said also that for years it was said that dentists were the most healthy people, but that things weren’t considered and this mercury thing is really a big deal, they get constant exposure when they use almalgam fillings, and lots of them still do apparently.

Lots of symptoms are seemingly related to mercury, your basic over sensitive types of things, and allergies, migraines, and other personality disorder sorts of things, and insomnia and on and on. Whether or not this is true, it’s interesting to me, since I can attest to having many of the bad symptoms on the list. 😮

So then, I’ll find that resource for dentists and post it as a comment here asap, tomorrow, Wednesday, that is. Thanks again for the encouragement!
