    I watched your video and I was disappointed to note that several of the ingredients in your ‘Anti-Inflamatory Juice’ are big no-nos for migraineurs. All citrus, which includes pineapple, lemon, etc. is known to be a trigger for many. Also green apple and even spinach have been implicated in having trigger powers for many people. I think you should think through what you advice and look at the many side effects. This reminds me of a ‘migraine seminar’ I went to years ago given by two so-called headache doctors. They put out chocolate brownies for the refreshments. I don’t know whether that was stupidity on their part or whether they intended to get people sick so they would run right over to those doctors for help. Just sayin . . .

      Thanks for your comment, Mary!

      And great story about the chocolate brownies. 🙂

      It’s very difficult to mention any kind of food without it being a trigger for someone. Green apple and spinach would be a rare trigger – in fact, there is a lot of evidence that spinach in particular may help migraine patients. Citrus is more common, but sometimes it’s fine in small amounts (you’ll notice my disclaimer about drinking this with a meal, and in moderation).

      Many triggers may actually be “protectors” in moderate amounts, as a part of a balanced diet. And what may be a trigger for one, may actually be helpful for someone else.

      Chocolate is certainly a legendary trigger, but some research is suggesting that for many people it may not trigger attacks – but in moderation may actually help alleviate symptoms.

      Your advice should remind us – keep track of your symptoms and triggers, and know what is a “no-no” for you. And whether it be citrus, chocolate, or spinach – if you eat it, don’t eat it all day every day!
