I've heard this type of story before in dealing with people that have root

canals still in their heads. They have infections in those teeth that the

average dentist can't catch. Only a really good wholistic one.

Does your friend have silver fillings or any root canals?

That's what I'd start with anyhow. Especially when dealing with sinus issues.

I follow the Eat Right For Your Blood Type Diet by Dr. D'Adamo which

has helped me tremendously. While I never had a headache problem, I remember

reading on the message board at www.dadamo.com, about folks with similar

problems that have been helped. Please have your friend look into this and I

wish him a very speedy recovery.

his headaches could be food related, caffiene could do it. have him try

driniking some peppermint or just mint tea. it should help take some of the

ease off if nothing else. mint is very good for headaches. I use it a lot

when I feel one of mine coming on.

I may get stuck a lot in life, but at least I stick with it:)

Constant headaches - HELP!

I have a friend I have not talked to for a while tell me that he has

had constant headaches for over a year. They are there when he goes

to sleep, when he wakes up, all the time. It doesn't go away. They

are like bad sinus headaches and he has been to the emergency room

over them numerous times. No pain killers are effecting them. He

has been to many doctors and a chiropractor with no success.

Numerous tests have been done with no clue as to the problem.

He also complains of ringing in his ears. Doctors can't find the

cause of that either. He is miserable and grumbly all the time and

his new wife is trying to cope with it but...

Bob never particularly got headaches before in all his 30 some odd

years until suddenly he thought he had a bad sinus infection...and

the headache never went away.

It sounded like he might cry as he was telling me this and he sounded

distressed throughout the call before he ever shared this with me.

Does anyone here have experience with this or know anyone who has

been helped?

Kandy,

My husband has had the same headache for the last 6 years. It never goes away,

sometimes

its better, most of the time its worse but it never ever goes away. Over the

years they

have gotten progressively worse to the point that he has been on full disability

for the

last 2 years. To date he has been to every specialist in the area and been

through 4 sinus

operations, nothing has helped. I truly hope that your friend has better

success than my

husband has. My advice to your friend would be to be very careful of how he

takes pain

pills. Yes he may need them, as does my husband, just to get through the day

but he has to

remember that the longer he takes them the more he has to take. And of course

his body

will become dependent on them. Sometimes i think the damage from large amounts

of pain

pills is harder on the body than chronic pain.

good luck to your friend

Your friend might try some body work or he may also investigate a type of chiropractic called direct non-force therapy (DNFT). I have had headaches off and on for 18 years. They were usually one or two weeks apart and they were especially bad after I had chemo. It has worked for me so far. The headaches first dimished in intensity and then frequency. It's been almost a month without a headache. My record is 6 weeks. It has however taken almost a year of weekly visits to get this far. My chiropractor is in Philadelphia. I'll be happy to give you her name etc if you feel this would be helpful.

[Guest guest]

Oh my, I know EXACTLY what he is going through. I had a headache straight for

12 years without relief. I was a patient at Diamond Headache Clinic for 15

years. Finally after 10 years they sound a drug that worked for me, however

it that length of time I was on one drug after another. I believe this wiped

out my immune system, now I have peripheral neuropathy and mercury poisoning.

If I had it to do over, I would go alternative and be tested for food

allergies However I pray that he will find some kind of relief ASAP. Diamond

Headache Clinic is in Chicago. They even have a complete floor at Columbus

hospital just for headache patients. If he is having rebound headaches he

will need medical treatment.1-800-headach

Just reading this gives me goose bumps. I'm assuming he has had cat scans and

MRI's? I didn't have the ringing in my ears. I also want to tell you that I

am seeing a Contact Reflex Analysis (muscle testing) who has helped me

immeasurably. We are leaving for Florida on Sunday, (probably be there in

three days) but am taking my computer with me. If I can help in any way,

please have him e-mail me personally. I will be here tomorrow. In the

meantime I sure will remember him in my prayers.

Could be food sensitivities. Definately worth checking out. Any

Chiropractor in the phone book who has an AK after their name can help.

They are trained in Applied Kinesiology and can test the body for reactions

to anything. Chiropractors without the AK training don't have all the tools

and can't help some things like an AK trained one can. I so hope your

friend finds relief from whatever source possible. When all else fails in

the conventional medical world, theres still an enormous amount of help

available.

I feel so bad for your friend. I know what it is like to have a headache

day after day, from the moment you wake up. This happened to me for about

four weeks this summer, but i went to my doctor and told him I thought it

might be related to my back, and I thought a chiropractor could probably fix

it. The doctor felt my back and neck, and agreed with me. Fortunately, the

chiropractor was able to eliminate the headaches in the first visit.

Your friend and his wife must be a bit scared by now. Has he been to a

naturopath? I had a friend who was just feeling generally awful for months,

tired, general pain, and a naturopath was able to help her.

AMONG MY MANY FORMER SYMPTOMS IS THE PREDOMINANTLY ANNOYINGONE OF HEADACHE EITHER COMING OR GOING WITH SUCH SEVERITY THAT IWAS UNABLE TO FUNCTION MOST OF THE TIME AND WAS IN SOME FORM OFMISERY EVEN WHEN I COULD. COMPLETE CESSATION OF ALL FATS IS WHATGOD RID OF THEM. SURE DID--AND VERY QUICKLY, TOO. IT SOUNDS LIKEA PRETTY DRASTIC SOLUTION, BUT IF DESPERATE ENOUGH FOR A CURE, ITCOULD BE WELL WORTH IT. IT WAS FOR ME. I HAD MIGRAINE STRENGTH HEADACHES THAT COMPLETELY DISABLED ME SOMETIMES A WEEK IN BED AT A TIME. THE HEADACHES ARE LIVER CONGESTION FROM A LIVER THAT ISFULL-UP AND FED-UP WITH HAVING TO PROCESS FATS, IN MY OPINION, ANDTHE RINGING IN THE EARS IS EVIDENCE OF OVERLOADING OF THE KIDNEYSDUE TO THE LONG-TERM DYSFUNCTIONAL CONDITION OF THE LIVER. THELIVER CORRELATES TO THE EYES AND THE KIDNEYS TO THE EARS. AS THEFATS ARE ELIMINATED FROM THE DIET, FRESH LEMON JUICE WILL BEBETTER AND BETTER TOLERATED BY THE BODY TO HEAL BOTH ORGANS. ITMAY BE A LITTLE ROUGH AT FIRST, BUT AS LONG AS THE BODY IS FLUSHED

WITH THE PROPER BALANCE OF SEA SALT AND SUGARS (TO TASTE) PROGRESS

WAS FOUND TO BE SWIFT AND NOT TERRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I TOOK

RAW VEGETABLES OUT OF MY DIET, EVEN BEFORE THE FATS, AS THEY (AND THEIR JUICES)ARE ALSO AN UNNECESSARY STRESSOR TO THE LIVER, I BELIEVE, WHEN

ONE IS TRYING TO REHABILITATE IT, PROMPTLY AND EFFICIENTLY.

Kandy,

Just a thought, but common causes I've found for headaches are: sugar, anything

fermented, additives in our foods (artificial colors, flavors, MSG-often in

under " natural flavors " ),

chocolate, coffee, exposure to chemical fertilizers, pesticides and/or

herbicides and other toxic chemicals, etc. I wish him luck. I had headaches

similar until I was diagnosed with

Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. When I changed my diet and got virtually

everything petroleum based out of my house and life the headaches went away :-)

:-), right along with a bunch of

other sysmptoms.

Headaches are very frequently diet related. Many naturopaths believe that

whatever sits in the transverse colon directly affects the head. He might

consider a series of colonics just to see if it helped...then start the

dietary changes required to decrease transit time.

I solved my headaches this time of year by airing out my house. Sounds

simple, yet this is amazing. I had chronic headaches, lasting weeks. I found

out it was the air in my house. I was told to open the doors and aim a fan

out doors exchanging the air, 10 minutes daily. I could not believe how

quickly this worked. It also solved my seven year old's headaches.

Hi Bernadette,

With my migraines, I have learned that sleeping with windows open wide or

cracked, depending on how cold it is, helps to keep from a migraine.

Many times after sleeping with the windows shut, I have awoke unrefreshed and

feeling a little headache-ish.

Fresh air allows a higher percentage, by reason of concentration gradients, of

poisons to escape from the lungs, and for more oxygen to be absorbed through the

lungs into the bloodstream,

thus helping ATP mitochondrial respiration(energy), from the macro (lungs) to

the micro (mitochondria) cosym. I read that the lung surface area covers an

area maybe as large as the ceiling

of a large room. Think of a third, fourth, or whatever amount of your blood

that is in the lung tissues at a given moment, being spread into a thin sheet

the size of the ceiling. Now that

blood is separated from the air by a thin gaseous permeable membrane. With each

breath you really airate your blood. Like a waterfalls, where there is sheeting

action of the water spilling

over the edge.

Is your house very new with tight tyvek (plastic) air seals? Most 10 or more

year old houses will have adequate infiltration. Unless the furnace has its own

duct from outside for its flame,

it will crank a large amount of air out the chimney with the replacement seeping

through the doors and windows. I might suspect a low level of carbon monoxide.

My house is heated by wood. I know this is the cause. We have been airing it

If the combustion products are not all going out the chimney, you are in danger;

if they are, the replacement air infiltration is a complete change of air more

than once a day. I am not

discounting what you say, but it might be a good idea to get the system checked,

or at least get a carbon monoxide detector.

This is exactly what I had about 10 years ago. One of my first symptoms of Candida. For me, it was related to allergies (food allergies, mainly). It lasted about 5+ years until I started taking tons of Quercetin, Vit. C and Beta Carotene. Then it went away within months. It only comes back now when I eat something I am allergic to (MSG, etc.), but most of my allergies are gone now thanks to my NAET treatments
