migraines

[Guest guest]

Yes I treat health tips like junk mail. If it looks interesting to me I check it out but if it looks like something I have already explored and rejected then I don't waste time on it, or if it sounds totally uninteresting to me or like it doesn't apply to my life then I ignore it. I don't have a problem with people sharing ideas and advice. When I offer ideas I don't expect the other person to 'have' to try it. I do start to get annoyed if somebody keeps pressing me (like the colloidal silver lady, who is not on this group by the way so please anybody on the group do not assume I am talking about you.) after I have already declined. Every time I bump into this person at the post office she starts in about how I don't look so good and maybe that would help. She is the only one telling me I don't look so good and it makes me suspicious that she is 'willing to sell me some colloidal silver'.

But I see nothing wrong with just giving tips to others. Among all the useless and counterproductive advice I've been given in my life, I've also received the odd gem of wisdom that has been of tremendous help to me. As long as we leave it up to each person to check it out with their own intuition if they want to try it or not and respect it if their intuition tells them no.

So tell her, " You sound like you're trying to sell me

something. "

" So, what's wrong with that? "

" You're trying to sell me something I wouldn't otherwise buy.

I'll ask my doctor next time I have a checkup. If I wanted to

pay money for a crock of organic fertilizer, I'd be in the

Agway; not the post office. BTW, my doctor doesn't tell me I

don't look good. Anyway, 'not looking good' isn't a meaningful

diagnosis for anything except weight and overexposure to the

sun.

Last time I was at a funeral, everyone looked at the stiff and

commented, 'He looks really good.' "

Everyone has to believe in something, especially when it comes

to health and nutrition. I believe I'll have another beer.

Yeah,I'll join you for that beer Stan, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I've been pondering this thing about strong opinions that trigger

controversy. I think that most of us have strong opinions about

something or other, and we're free to express them. Indeed, Voltaire

was willing to die for our right to express them. He's not much good

at this point since he's already dead.

Then there's the matter of etiquette. If we think that there are other

people who might have an opposing view, then we can choose either to

take the chance of getting them upset or angry, or we can choose to

avoid the subject and spare them the unpleasantness of reacting. Of

course we can always say take the position that we know we are right

and we are just trying to be helpful, but very often that doesn't work

when others have strong opinions of their own.

Others can do what they want, but I'm going to make an effort to keep

from stressing others out with my postings (although this posting

could conceivably stress someone out, I don't know).

Polarization of views has always been a problem, and lately it's

getting worse. People who were happy in the middle are being bullied

into taking sides by a constant media barrage of polarized views

(Point Counterpoint for example).

I have been pondering this subject and it seems to me that when

someone comes across with very strongly worded views it often seems

to me as an attack on my viewpoint or an attempt to convert me.

When I say convert I am not talking just of religion, I have had

people try to " convert " me into only eating organic food (just one

of many examples). I wonder sometimes if they are intentionally

trying to get me to change my viewpoint or I am just percieving it

that way. I am not entirely sure if the average (non AS) person

would give me an honest answer on that if I asked them.

I went to a communication workshop once on dealing with difficult

people. Apparently there are people out there who will make remarks

(or gestures or actions or body language) that could be interpreted

as insulting, but will deny that they ment anything insulting if you

confront them. That made may think that perhpas the people who call

me oversensitive are actually doing this kind of mind game on me.

I think that's pretty much the explanation too. Is somebody

finds a definitive idea, then there's a tendency to apply it

universally. That does work with some things (added trans fats,

smoking, and to a lesser extent artificial anything in food),

but doesn't work for other things.

Organic food (mentioned by Ilah) is an easy one. One explains

what it is and if the other person doesn't care, they don't care.

Why bother explaining it further?

(I was at a concert in a high school last w/e and it turned out

someone vetted the vending machine for only " good stuff " --

organic flavoured milk, soy milk, Knudsen sodas, etc. Since

the vending machine was all there was for food during the

concert, that turned out to be very convenient.)

Like a post I made to a the St. 's list (mostly parents of

AS kids) " Subject: For those still drugging their kids " .

Lemme explain something; Telling mothers that they're completely

wrong regarding their kids is not generally well-received.

> Others can do what they want, but I'm going to make an effort to

No, the " For those still drugging their kids " subject line is a

better example of " conceivably stressing someone out " (:

It's called " listening to too much AM radio. "

BTW, I'm still trying (though not very hard) to find the

original " Dead Doctors Don't Lie " sales tape -- the one where

the guy cures pigs of Alzheimer's with the chelated minerals

he's trying to sell. Maybe it will show up at a garbage sale

somewhere.

"Headaches, headaches.

Aspirin commercials give me headaches...."

---Allan Sherman

HEADACHES

Headaches range from mild, infrequent pain in the front, back, or sides

of the head to chronic, severe migraines deep inside the head. They may

accompany underlying conditions and disorders such as anemia, brain

tumors, chronic fatigue syndrome, eyestrain, fibromyalgia, food

allergies, menopause, premenstrual syndrome, sinusitis, stroke, or TMJ.

Headaches are generally classified into four main types: (l) tension

headaches, characterized by a dull, steady pain that feels like a tight

band around the head; (2) sinus headaches, accompanied by pain in the

forehead, eyes, and nasal region; (3) cluster headaches, which cause

severe, sharp pain around one eye, occur with nasal congestion and a

flushed face, and tend to recur every few hours or days, especially

several hours after going to sleep; and (4) migraines, which are

intense, debilitating headaches deep inside the head or on one side of

the head, usually accompanied by pinpoints of light, strange odors, or

unusual sounds. Modern medicine treats tension headaches with aspirin,

acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Antibiotics and decongestants are used to

treat sinus headache. A variety of stronger drugs and medications,

ihcluding corticosteroids, calcium channel blockers or beta blockers,

and antidepressants, are used to relieve migraines. Biofeedback,

meditation, visualization, and other alternative methods may also be

recommended. In most cases, headaches arise from underlying dietary

imbalance, especially food or beverages consumed shortly before the

onset of symptoms. A balanced macrobiotic way of eating will help

eliminate headaches and prevent their recurrence..."

Headaches are generally classified into four main types: (l) tension headaches, characterized by a dull, steady pain that feels like a tight band around the head; (2) sinus headaches, accompanied by pain in the forehead, eyes, and nasal region; (3) cluster headaches, which cause severe, sharp pain around one eye, occur with nasal congestion and a flushed face, and tend to recur every few hours or days, especially several hours after going to sleep; and (4) migraines, which are intense, debilitating headaches deep inside the head or on one side of the

head, usually accompanied by pinpoints of light, strange odors, or unusual sounds. Modern medicine treats tension headaches with aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Antibiotics and decongestants are used to treat sinus headache. A variety of stronger drugs and medications, ihcluding corticosteroids, calcium channel blockers or beta blockers, and antidepressants, are used to relieve migraines. Biofeedback, meditation, visualization, and other alternative methods may also be recommended. In most cases, headaches arise from underlying dietary imbalance, especially food or beverages consumed shortly before the onset of symptoms. A balanced macrobiotic way of eating will help eliminate headaches and prevent their recurrence..."From: The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health : A Complete Guide to Preventing and Relieving More Than 200 Chronic Conditions and Disorders
