Botox for Migranes

HI,
I had severe crippling cluster migraines for almost 7 years. The traditional Dr's tried out every new anti-seizure and migraine drug that came out. The last thing in their bag was the Botox. 25 shots in the head later and it did not help at all. they said when a new drug came out they would let me know.

I finally was referred by a friend to a local Naturopath. He worked thru diet and nutrition. In 6 weeks they were down to 1/2 and in 6 months they were totally gone. I've only had a couple in the last 10 years.

Everyone's issue and body are different. And at the time, insurance would not cover it, but it was worth every penny to be cured.

We called him the Voo Doo Dr. (He thought it was funny) because he used the a method called Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing).

Many people (esp traditional Dr's and me at first) said it was/is quackery - I completely disagree now.
Traditional western medicine ran about $200,000 worth of testing and drugs on me and came up with nothing.

He "cured" me in 6 months.
Our bodies are incredible and able to repair themselves IF we have not already become toxic in areas due to our western lives.
He actually said - my goal is to get your body back to a baseline where your own immune system can heal your body.

I was at the point where I would try ANYTHING, so what did I have to lose - my migraines I guess.

I am inclined to agree that the natural path is the best way to go...and that is the way I am targeting. However, I have tried some of their ways and have not received much relief. Acupuncture does not work for me but massages work. Pain medications don't work but a variety of massages work. Each person needs to map out what works and what does not work for them. I too have had thousands of dollars worth of tests and medications over many years. I now need to go through prior authorizations through my insurance company to get treatments and medications to keep me stable. I micromanage my care only because I am so fragile.
I am glad your VD Doc was able to help you. He has been able to help you gain your full self and it's worth every step of the way.
