Yet, you need not suffer because you have migraine. Doctors now have ways to treat your migraine which attack cause rather than just give simple pain relief. However, your physician’s instructions must be carefully carried out in order for medication to work properly.

WHY YOU GET MIGRAINE. Migraine is known as a vascular headache. Medical evidence indicates that it is related to a disturbance in blood vessels in brain, scalp and facial tissues. Most headache experts believe that migraine is an inherited disorder that may be precipitated by many factors such as food, atmospheric pressure, changes in weather, stress situations and excessive sleep.

Although there are many forms migraine may take, there are two major types: Classical and Neoclassical Migraine. The difference between two is that with classical migraine there are various warning symptoms. Perhaps you have blurred vision or you see stars or flashes of light, just prior to headache. If you have classical migraine, your blood vessels constrict during this phase. When full-blown migraine occurs, there is an increase in size (or vasodilatation) of blood vessels. Therefore it is important that you take your migraine medication as soon as warning symptom occurs. Nonclassical or simple migraine is a severe headache when it occurs at irregular intervals, but which is not preceded by warning symptoms such as flashes of light. In this type of migraine it is also important that your medication be taken at very first indication of head pain.

GENERAL RULES FOR PREVENTING MIGRAINE HEADACHE. Each of well-known rules for general health care can be especially helpful for decreasing frequency and severity of your migraine attacks. For example:

1. Get plenty of sleep---but do not oversleep. Early to bed and early to rise is a good plan. Fatigue and overexertion can trigger migraine. Keep your normal sleep pattern, even on weekends. 2. Eat balanced meals at regular hours. Do not skip meals. 3. Avoid foods that tend to trigger attacks.

Cholesterol. What images come to mind when you see this word? Is it positive or negative? Is it health, or is it heart disease?

If what came to mind was negative, as something to avoid, and heart disease, then pharmaceutical companies food industries have been successful in getting you to believe a fabricated myth!

According to George V. Mann, M.D., professor of Medicine and Biochemistry at Vanderbilt University, “Saturated fat and cholesterol in diet are not cause of coronary heart disease. That myth is greatest scientific deception of this century, perhaps of any century.”

Russell L. Smith, Ph.D. is author of book, The Cholesterol Conspiracy. Dr. Smith states that “Both public and clinical physicians have simultaneously been swamped by an ever-growing tidal wave of exaggerations, distortions and even fabrications of facts.”

Here’s truth. Cholesterol is good! It is a necessary part of every cell in your body and is essential in virtually all aspects of metabolism. Without it, we would die. That’s not impression you got from advertisers, is it!

Cholesterol is necessary for brain, nervous system, hormones, digestion, liver function, heart muscle contraction, calcium metabolism and bone structure and skin. Cholesterol forms 50 percent of nervous system and serves as conductor of nerve impulses. It is so important that your body produces four to seven times as much as you ingest and reduces its production to accommodate cholesterol intake from food you eat.

A deficiency of Cholesterol results in obesity, emotional disturbances, fatigue, impotency, and many more imbalances.

How Scam Begun

In early 1900’s, experiments were done in which rabbits were given extremely high amounts of dietary cholesterol. Their blood cholesterol rose twenty fold and a soft plaque like disease formed on coronary arteries. But cholesterol levels returned to normal and plaque disappeared when feeding was stopped. This formed basis of theory that cholesterol caused coronary heart disease in humans.

Here are flaws. The rabbits were given a synthetic form of cholesterol that easily oxidized when exposed to air (which made it toxic). Rabbits also do not metabolize cholesterol as do humans. Humans and other animals like dogs and rats do not develop atherosclerosis-like disease as do rabbits when given dietary cholesterol. And finally, humans do not develop soft plaque as did rabbits; humans develop hard plaque which does not reverse, and it is not caused by dietary cholesterol.
