Headaches and migraines are poorly understood by the academic medical community. Doctors prescribe many pain relievers , but can't really tell you why you suffer from headaches.
We know that the blood vessels are affected in some way.
In migraine for example, the vessels swell up, leading to pain, and to the of
compounds which constrict the vessels.
You can prevent these headaches by treating for yeast inside your body, both by taking an anti-yeast medication called nystatin and changing your diet.
How can this be?
The yeast Candida Albicans is a normal
resident inside of the intestinal tract. This yeast can also
be found at times in the mouth. Sometimes this yeast overgrows and the doctor
recognizes this overgrowth of yeast as a yeast infection as thrush.
The yeast Candida
albicans makes many chemicals which are toxic to the brain. These chemicals
include toxic alcohols, aldehydes as well as the powerful brain poison hydrogen
sulfide. Yeast and fungus are also present in the food. For example vinegar
is literally spoiled wine. Wine is made by yeast and many yeast chemicals are
present in vinegar. Malt is made by sprouting barley and then heating it. The
resulting malt is sold as a sugar substitute and is baked into many products.
Malt also contains many chemicals which affect the brain.
The chemicals in malt
and which are made by yeast all slow the brain down. Thus the body tries to
prevent these chemicals from ever getting to the brain.
Fungi also make chemicals
which are toxic to the brain. I have found from clinical experience that foods
contaminated by yeast or fungus, for example, peanuts, or foods in which yeast
has been present, such as vinegar, are all headache causers.
Why might these
chemicals cause headaches?
Most of these chemicals should be cleared by the
liver but not all are. No one knows exactly what these chemicals do when they
get to the blood vessels of the brain.
I propose the following explanation.
One way to prevent such chemicals from passing through the cells of the blood
vessels is for these blood vessels to swell up in an inflammatory response.
Then perhaps the chemicals will stay in the cells lining the blood vessels rather
than getting into the brain. The result will be pain but the brain will be protected.
I have treated many people for headaches and migraines. I have found that the best solution is to avoid foods containing chemicals
made by yeast and fungus which are toxic to the brain.
The first foods to eliminate are vinegar,
malt, chocolate, pickled foods alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic beer, peanuts,
soy sauce, worchestershire sauce, and cottonseed oil.
There are many more foods, and treatment with the anti-yeast medication nystatin also helps. Nystatin is not absorbed and has no significant side effects.
The diet for Candida problems consists of removing fermented foods from the diet.
The worst offenders are alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beer, vinegar, barley
malt, chocolate, pickles, and aged cheese. I explain the diet very thoroughly, including
how to implement the diet for children, in An Extraordinary Power to Heal and Feast Without Yeast:4 Stages to Better Health.
