What is a Complex Migraine and What Can Be Done About It?
A high school senior athlete was referred to me because medical doctors
had been treating her for headaches of a migraine nature, with stroke
like symptoms. Medicine to block the pain is all that they could
recommend. She had been taken to the ER twice in the past three
months. The doctors called it a complex migraine.
The right side of the face would go numb, and the symptoms presented for
about 30 minutes. The hands would also go numb for about 30 minutes.
She would become nauseated and vomit. The family was told these are
migraines of a complex nature, but they did not know the exact cause but
offered several drugs that might help.
Since my initials at the back of my name are DC, which to means to me
Doctor of Cause, I started asking questions and testing with Applied
Kinesiology. The first question I asked is when in this young lady’s
menstrual cycle compared to when the headaches took place. The two
episodes both happened the same time in the cycle. That is significant
in causation, in my evaluation.
The next question I asked was how much stress she had been under playing
sports and being toward the end of her Senior year of High School. The
oral response was a lot of stress physically and emotionally. I asked
her body about the stress by doing an adrenal stretch test. I tested a
pectoralis major clavicular muscle, finding it to be very strong. I
then stretched the shoulder capsule with a quick jerk of the arm. She
went extremely weak.
Her blood pressure also dropped from a lying to a standing position. I
also tested a quadriceps muscle and then had her run-in place, which
made the quad very weak when re-tested. This gave us the insight that
the Adrenals were in extreme fatigue. Knowing she was in sports and
practicing daily, the body would not be able to maintain structural
integrity.
Further Chiropractic and AK testing demonstrated the adrenal stretch
dissipated giving her a synergistic nutritional for the adrenals,
OPTI-ADRENAL from OHS.
She tested for a Category II pelvis with a PI on the right side. She
also had a posterior and fixated right sacrum. Her TMJ needed
correction. Her parents said they had her in braces for several years
due to TMJ pain, which did not help the condition.
She had cranial lesions that we corrected with the Percussor.
Craniosacral balance was attained with the correction of the Category II
and CSF treatment by hand and the percussion as taught in our
seminars. We released fascial restrictions in the shoulders, neck,
right femur, feet, and spine. She has an occipital-atlas-axis
subluxation that was corrected.
We then did a nutritional scan with contact reflex testing and found the
thyroid was weak and responded very well to Opti-Thyroid from OHS.
Iodine alone did not solve the thyroid complex. To order Opti-Thyroid call direct 1-800-890-4547.
We demonstrated good nutrition was very important to her recovery and to
eliminate sugar. We recommended the Fiber Fueled and Obesity Code
books for the family to read and follow.
We found she had two faulty horary acupuncture points, (bilateral Sp3 for the spleen and Th6 for the thyroid), that were found to be out of balance and were corrected bilaterally. We lasered the points with complete correction.
She felt better immediately, and her family was elated to see there were
specific reasons and natural treatment for the diagnosis and symptoms
of complex migraines.
I am 90% sure she will go to a long-term successful conclusion.
