From "Ask Dr. Gott" Column August 2nd 2006 Column - United Feature Syndicate Newspaper Enterprise Association
Dear Dr. Gott: I read with great humor your column recently about fighting head lice with Miracle Whip. I can't vouch for that natural rememdy, but I can tell you about another one that for me is equally "miraculous."
My neurologist recommended a product for my migraines called MigreLief. It contains magnesium, vitamin B-2 and the herb feverfew. Supposedly, there are studies that show that all three of these simple ingredients work to reduce migraine frequency. All I can tell you is this combination works - for me, my mother and my sister. You might want to check this out for your readers.
DEAR READER: Although I am not familiar with this product, I am printing your letter in hopes that other readers may be helped by using it. Migraines can be very painful, and attacks may occur without warning. As always, I rely on readers' experiences, so let me know, folks, if MigreLief works.
From 'Good Medicine' article, April 2006 Natural Health Magazine
'Studies have found that drops in magnesium are common before or during migraine attacks. This essential mineral plays a role in nerve cell function and may alter serotonin levels, which could explain its impact. Supplementing with magnesium can provide relief. "it has an almost immediate effect in some patients," says Kroner. (The RDA is 320 mg for women, 420 mg for men.)
Riboflavin (B-2) and vitamin B-12 may also ward off attacks. These vitamins boost energy, and their effectiveness might be tied to the low mitochondrial energy metabolism seen in the brains of migraine sufferers, says Kroner. Although previous research found that 400 mg daily of riboflavin (more than 300 times the amount recommended for a healthy diet) can significantly reduce migraine frequency, a 2004 study in the journal Headache determined that 25 mg per day might also do the trick. The natural supplement MigreLief (migrelief.com) contains the larger dose of riboflavin, along with 300 mg of magnesium and 100 mg of feverfew.'
