The Secret of MigreLief-NOW

We’ve talked about MigreLief quite often before, but there’s an exciting new version of this popular migraine treatment in town.

As many of you know, MigreLief (along with Children’s MigreLief) is a natural migraine preventative, containing feverfew, magnesium and riboflavin (vitamin B2). It’s also gluten free. Taken daily, MigreLief has helped many migraine patients cut down or eliminate migraine symptoms.

MigreLief NOW But there’s a new product in town – and it’s called MigreLief-NOW.

MigreLief Now is designed as an abortive – that is, it’s taken at the onset of migraine symptoms. It still contains magnesium (a blend of two types) and feverfew, two much-studied migraine treatments. But it also has a blend of ginger – another migraine and nausea fighter. It also contains aflapin boswellia serrata, a gum resin extract that has been studied especially for its anti-inflammatory action.

Common questions

If I take MigreLief every day, can I also use MigreLief Now?

Yes. MigreLief Now has been designed for both MigreLief users and non-users. Both can be taken at the same time.

Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

MigreLief Now uses high quality natural ingredients, and side effects are rare. Rarely, temporary gastro-intestinal upset or diarrhea may be experienced. Taking MigreLief Now with food may help with these symptoms. In most cases, the ginger in MigreLief Now should calm your stomach.

Does MigreLief Now have any “painkillers” such as aspirin or tylenol?

No. MigreLief should be safe to take with other medication for migraine. However, as with anything, it is wise to discuss with your doctor.

There is a lot more that could be said about the specific formulations used in MigreLief. For now, I’m very interested to hear your feedback. These ingredients have a lot of science behind them – we know that they have helped a lot of migraine patients. But have you specifically tried MigreLief Now? Has it helped?

Migramin Giveaway on Facebook

James Treatments, Website news 2

As everyone should know by now, there’s going to be a Facebook giveaway happening sometime in the next week and a half! That giveaway is the result of a generous donation from Sobek Therapeutics – four three-month supplies of Migramin, a new migraine preventative!

Just to clarify again – four winners will be receiving a three month supply, free of charge, courtesy of Sobek Therapeutics.

As we mentioned before, Migramin is a combination of three well-known migraine-fighting ingredients: magnesium, feverfew, and riboflavin.

As with any medication or supplement, you may try one and find it doesn’t work – only to try a different formulation or brand of the same thing and find it works great.

That’s why the makers of Migramin have looked at some of the latest research into what actually works. Let’s take a quick look at each ingredient:

Magnesium: One of the most important issues with magnesium is making sure it actually gets absorbed well by the body. That’s why some types of magnesium work and others are almost useless for migraine patients.

Migramin uses a special formulation of dimagneisum malate, which should be a lot easier on your gastrointestinal system. It’s also much easier for your body to absorb.

Want to know another secret about Migramin? We mentioned before that the magnesium comes in three capsules. Why? Because you now have the option to spread out the dosage throughout the day if you find that works better for you.

Feverfew: Feverfew has long been helpful to migraine patients. I talked to Dan Shollenberger, Director of Analytics at Sobek Therapeutics to find out what they did to make sure the feverfew in Migramin would help as many people with migraine as possible. Here’s what he said:

We did an immense amount of research on feverfew. Specifically we tried to understand why the available clinical data was very inconsistent with feverfew. What we determined is that nearly all of the feverfew on the market is derived from a chemical extract process. We believe that this process is inconsistent and does not capture all of the key phytochemicals present in feverfew. We opted to go with harvesting organically grown feverfew (grown in the US) and freeze drying the material immediately after harvest. This process yields product that is as close to the traditional “Take two leafs” dosage that was used in the most successful studies. Additionally we standardize our dosage to ensure that the consumer is getting 543ug of parthenolide in each capsule. Consistent dosing is a key factor in developing an effective treatment.

This special method of getting the feverfew to you may make all the difference. The standardized parthenolide is, as most researchers know, key in providing a useful feverfew supplement.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2): Once again, the makers of Migramin searched through clinical trials to find out what dosage of riboflavin would be the most helpful, and then searched the world to find a high quality supplier. The result was a 400mg dosage each day. Riboflavin is critical to energy and brain function.

Make sure you’re watching Facebook for your chance to win. I’ll give you a clue – the giveaway will be happening in the next week and a half, and it will involve responding to a post on our Facebook page.

Nausea / Vomiting and Migraine: 10 Facts

James Information 2

N/V: one of the most common symptoms of migraine.
Childhood N/V disorders may be migraine or indicate future migraine.
Nausea could be an early sign of migraine – hours before headache (if there is headache).
There’s no nausea in occasional tension-type headache (TTH), but could be in more constant or chronic TTH.
Typical treatment of migraine often fights N/V also (ie triptans, biofeedback).
Many patients take suppositories, transdermal meds, etc. to avoid problems with pills that go through the digestive system.
Some medications specifically fight N/V, such as metoclopramide, dimenhydrinate, and promethazine.
Some supplements may treat/prevent N/V,such as feverfew and ginger.
Talk to your doctor. It can be dangerous to take multiple medications/supplements at the same time.
Common sense: Stay hydrated, relax, and eat bland foods when you can.

Don’t forget – the LipiGesic M Give-Away!

James Treatments, Website news 0

There is still time to enter the giveaway to win a free 8 count box of migraine-fighter LipiGesic® M!

LipiGesic M is a treatment for migraine which uses two well-researched supplements – ginger and feverfew. But why these two?

Well, for one thing there is almost no incident of adverse effects with these two treatments. That already gives them an advantage over many drug treatments.

However, there are some very specific ways in which these two fight migraine symptoms.

Feverfew

Feverfew is one of the best-recognized herbs used for migraine treatment. Feverfew is actually a member of the daisy family. It was long used for treatment of migraine before modern science began to confirm that it really does work.

Feverfew has been used both as a preventative for migraine and an abortive (as in LipiGesic M). For some migraineurs, it not only reduces pain but also other migraine symptoms, such as sensitivity to light or noise and even nausea.

Even more good news: Feverfew is an anti-inflammatory, may stop spasms in the blood vessels, and one study (Monica Guzman, PhD, of the University of Rochester Medical School and research team, 2005) even suggested it may have leukemia-fighting properties!

No wonder feverfew has helped so many migraineurs!

Ginger

Over the last few years there has been an increased interest in ginger specifically as a nausea-fighter. Some researchers have suggested that it be taken after some surgeries and during cancer treatments. It’s also been used for motion sickness, and morning sickness during pregnancy.

But not only can ginger stop the nausea of migraine, it can have a part in killing the pain. Ginger also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and is often taken for muscle pain and migraine pain.

Taken in a special combination, using the specially designed sublingual packets of LipiGesic M, you’ve got an excellent natural treatment that can help fight your migraine symptoms. You can read more about ginger and feverfew at the LipiGesic M website.
