Geez, Doc, have you really gone so far from your roots that you've forgotten about manipulation??? It's provided relief for my patients in over fifty clinics, four states for over 20 years. This really is a pneumocephalic moment (airhead). . ..Andrew Taylor Still must be spinning in his grave. . . . ; )

I found this article very interesting since I just recently found an amazing product called Sinol that works fantastically for Allergies, headache (of all kinds) and sinus and it's main ingredient is capsaicin. The remaining ingredients are all natural which I love. It can be found in many retail stores but also on line at http://www.sinolusa.com . I've been looking around and I'm finding very positive repsonses and feedback from users on the product.

Just thought you might like to know... Thanks for a great resource for health and nutrition info.

I have had headaches for over 30 years. I thought taking supplements and eating better would help. I have been to chiropractors and that didn't help. I went to one for 8 months. He didn't do anything for me. I suppose they are tension headaches. Anything that makes me feel good seems to help. So does caffeine tablets but I hate taking them. I don't have energy no matter what I eat. I have gained weight over the years eating to feel better. The depression that the pain brings on keeps me feeling even worse. It is a dull pain and can get so bad that I just don't feel like doing anything. My head feels tense all the time. My neck, lower back, shoulders, and my feet hurt all the time. Exercise and stretching can make it get worse. Unless I take a caffeine tablet, I could sit all day long. I have to make myself do things. The doctor's solution was to give me celebrex and amitripilin. The muscle relaxer she gave me made me feel drunk. I quit those real fast. I never had strength or energy even when I was a child. If anyone has had these problems, I sure would appreciate knowing what they did to feel better. Oh yes, the doctor also gave me fosamax because she said I had some bone loss. In six weeks, my teeth hurt so bad that I couldn't bite down on anything. It took six months of taking calcium for the pain to go away. My dentist said I didn't show any bone loss. I guess I won't go for any more check ups. Trying to feel better has probably made me healthier by taking supplements and eating better, but it has never helped the pain.

Sorry I should have mentioned you just DRINK the Cayenne in warm water! Also I put a pinch in my cooked food along with CCN oil and leftovers last for ages in the fridge!

Of course it can. There's already a series of cayenne products made by SinusBuster that uses hot peppers. They have a headache formula and a separate migraine formula.

I've seen it work in two minutes. A customer came into my store with a significant headache. He tried the SinusBuster. He came out of the bathroom two minutes later. He said it was working, that his headache was much better already.

I've heard of it working for a horrible migraine in mere seconds!

Btw, I cured my own Stage 4 CANCER using habeneros, garlic and emulsified cod liver oil. That was nine years ago. It took all of two weeks.

A year or so ago, UCLA helped to confirm my experience. They shrank tumors by 80% just with the hot peppers alone. My way is better and more effective with the combo treatment.

Still it's nice ot see UCLA catching up with me. ;-)

My deepest empathies with the migraine sufferers out there. Headaches are indeed, a headache. I used to get them years ago while working for a company that used overhead fluorescent lighting. Dinking plenty of water seems to be the best remedy for me, and as I am a certified aromatherapist, I have found that both lavender and peppermint essential oils are soothing. I use them in a burner/diffuser. I get very few headaches these days as I stay hydrated and eat right for my nutritional type (most of the time).

Caveat emptor on the publicity about the capsaicin in cayenne, to quote Dr Mercola,

"...even though they are narrow-mindedly focusing on picking out the active ingredients to be able to patent it and put it in a pill"

While the natural capsaicin in cayenne is no doubt greatly beneficial, the synthetic "equivalent" can no more be trusted than synthetic vitamin C or synthetic hormones or synthetic anything.

One technique that I have found very effective for headaches is chiropractic. While I agree that diet, exercise etc is very important too, I have found that chiropractic has looked at the underlying cause. I have vertebrae in my neck which are out of alignment and through chiropractic I have retrained my vertebrae to be realigned and take pressure off of my nervous system which eliminates my headaches.

I'm sick and tired of mice or rats being used as test subjects having all kinds of pain and suffering inflicted on them as though they were inanimate objects. Animal testing is cruel and inhumane, not to mention unreliable.Does anyone remember Thalidomide from the 50's. It was tested on rats. I hope to get legislation passed to ban this cruel abuse of all animal testing. If anyone disagrees with me, don't bother commenting because I couldn't care less what your opinion is.

This whole concept of the "active ingredient" should be rejected by all sane people. As Dr. Mercola alluded to above, they only do this to make a patent possible. Implied in the concept of "active ingredient" is that the rest of the herb is irrelevant. What could be further than the truth? I studed with world famous herbalist Dr. John R. Christopher. He used to say that when they isolate the "active ingredient" from an herb to make a drug out of it, it becomes a poison. But then, why should we expect big pharma to have any respect for plants? Yes, cayenne pepper really is good for numerous ailments, but always use the whole herb.

The suggestions given in this article focus on eliminating the symptom and not necesarily the cause of the headache. Clinical research shows that headaches and migraines can be due to misalignments in the spine called "Vetebral Subluxation" which put devastating pressure or irritation on the nerves. This interrupts the entire nervous system and can trigger headaches and migraines. Removal of the interference or re-alignment of the spine has been allows the Nervous System to function properly and the brain to communicate will all parts of the body. Once the body is functioning properly, it is documented that occurances of headaches and migraines decrease dramatically or cease altogether. A simple spine and nervous system check up with a SPINAL CORRECTIVE chiropractor can determine if subluxation is present in the spine. A program for correction can correct the problem

MOSIOATUNYA please tell me where the pressure is to be applied (in lay terms) I use accupressure on the mastoid area just under the skull to the centerline back of my neck for most tension headaches and it relieves them 80% almost immediately. The rest go with massage (like washing your hair) as a rule. Then I remind myself to "just stop it" on tensing up over whatever it was that got me there in the first place. Lower shoulders and rotate them. LOL

thx Jen
