Thank you again!
Thanks a million for this! My partner had a migraine and I was experiencing a lot of physical panic and racing thoughts but did not want to take any extra medication. I feel amazing and it helped give him some relief. What an excellent addition to one's daily routine. 💖
Thank you for all your info! Have suffered from migraines since I was 12.. now 63 and about #0 years ago started getting auras and all kinds of weird symptoms ..over the years it has gotten better and the worse..it’s a roller coaster and never really cured them much…this last month I had 10 auras and migraines and usually the day after is bad to …so about 20 days gone this month ! I do work with a headache dr but they just want me to get on a prescription for preventative …..I like to go the more natural way and figure out why Iv been getting them..I know they are hormonal but Im 63 now and thought I’d start getting done with them! I’m sooo interested in working with you as your thinking is exactly how I think …thank you for all your work and for helping so many people!
I would like to learn more , could you send me the video please ? Thank you very much ❤
you rock! Can folks get labs online not related to migraines? Like which supplements you really need and what you don't? If so, learn more! Thank you!
Just to clarify, this comes with all the herbs needed for this cleanse, correct?
Parasite cleansing herbal tea bulb enemas?
She does not actually recommend enemas, but I bet some people do!
@@ameliascottbarrettmd I have loved using enemas and yoga since 1995 for detoxing, beauty, fitness, health, wellness, disease, illness, sickness, pain management, and weight management.
Omga3 pills worked for me
Awesome, yeah the data is really looking good - more for eating actual fish than taking fish oil but time will tell
Thanks for these suggestions ❤️💪
You're welcome!
TIA and Hemiplegic Migraines are the same. One your blood vessel is tightening and the other bursting.
It is an attack from satan
So, they can have the same symptoms, but as far as mechanism, they are unique. TIA is caused by a lack of blood flow to a part of the brain (it's like a near-stroke), whereas for hemiplegic migraine, the blood vessels are in spasm and that's what causes the symptom
Thank you for this video. I knew magnesium is the top one for headaches and migraine and I’ve always taken it with little relief. Looks like I wasn’t taking enough. I had a headache/ migraine last night and all this morning, took multiple pain relief meds with no relief. Then I saw this video, took 1000 mgs of magnesium and after 20 minutes it’s gone! Wow 🫶🏼
Woohoo! Awesome that you got a good response. Getting nutrients right is the essential first step, and the next step is to get labs to figure out the other hidden causes. You're welcome to join me for a free webianr at calldrbarett.com if that resonates for you!
Do you provide nexus letters for migraines 2nd to PTSD?
I am no longer in private practice, sorry!
Maybe for the better?
Maybe what is for the better?
Changing the experiences of your life for the better.
Why you people always talk about magnesium but never talks about which kind 🙄
I'm happy to! I recommend magnesium glycinate 400-500 mg in the evening. It's better absorbed than other formulations. Here's a link for it: us.fullscript.com/plans/ameliascottbarrettmd-magnesium
I’m curious about the endometriosis and the migraine gene. How are they related?
There isn't a single gene for endometriosis, so it's similar to the situation for migraine. There are many genes, each of which increases the overall risk.
Get to the point please 😅
Adrenal dysfunction causes migraine and it’s fixable
What about magnesium malate? Is that still good or is glycinate better?
That one's good too! just costs a little more
Thank you again for saying the reality about migranes. Many people, including bosses at work think that’s a simple, unimportant Headache. You bring us hope, doctor Amelia. And my treatment seems to be working succssesfully
YAYYY!!!! I know, people dismiss it and yet it is the #1 disease taking women out of the workforce...
What do you mean you don’t know what the high dose of B2 of 400 mg? because that is what it takes to work! Must be taken with Magnesium 400 mg, both once a day. Germany has been successfully treating migraines with that for decades. Why american doctors don’’t know s..t? _ Another thing, no, it is not good to take all your vitamins and minerals in ONE capsule of multivitamin, many interact negatively with each other, meaning makes one useless, thereby offsetting the benefit of one or another vitamin/mineral. These must be taken separately through out the day.
Actually there have never been any studies of lower doses of B2 to se if those work just as well as 400... that's what I mean by "dose-finding studies."
I finally discovered link between headache and histamines. Some triggers that I have isolated are: wine (can get away with a beer once in a while but won't temp fate with liquur), tamari/soy sauce, fermented veggies, smoked meats, cheeses, vitamin B12 (seems to be all types in supplement form: cyano, methyl, adenosyl hydroxy, grass fed desiccated liver...) systemic enzymes, anti microbial/detox herbal remedies, bright light, chemical smells, over heating, over stimulation... yikes! It isn't easy being me.
You're right, that's a lot to have to avoid
I have ibs-c ,nasal allergy ,h pylori,histamine intolerance and i think leaky gut as i get migraine everyday in the morning and after eating anything, so how to heal the gut and microbiome

Thank you, it’s certainly a journey which never seems to find the right answers.
Yeah, the trial and error can really be exhausting, right?
I’ve eliminated my migraines! Thank You!!!! Magnesium Glycinate 210 mg in am. 3 mg Meltonin SR nighttime CoQ10, 100 mg. In am.
WOO-HOO!!! You're welcome, keep sharing what helped you!
See any data about CFS and types of HA ? WHO and ICHD is not explicit in the new tome.
At the American Academy of Neurology meeting in Denver this year, they presented data that 50% of people develop NEW MIGRAINES after they get a CSF leak repaired.... like they did not have migraines before, but now they do. There is clearly more than just the leak going on for those people. They fixed the leak problem, but now they have other hidden problems they need to figure out too.
Mg. Everyone is deficient. VAH does have blood test albeit rarely used.
Agree! Magnesium testing is rarely done. What's VAH?
OHHHH VA Hospital??
Absolutely! I’m glad you brought that up. Powdered forms work also. And I also like to take supplements with food, followed by a hot tea “chaser” to melt the tablets! Give it a shot, it might help you too!
I have a hard time swallowing pills. I found trace liquid magnesium glycinate. Is this okay?
How much deep sleep should we be getting?
As much as possible! Shoot for over an hour. But I think the important thing is to track your sleep with a device and improve from where you are now.
#1 Gynaecological diseases
I took a vitamin mineral imbalance test, and it shows very low levels of L-Histidine. I have noticed some of the side effects of Histidine deficiency, but am afraid taking a supplement will result in migraines. How can increase Histidine, which appears to be essential, without increasing Histamine to migraine-causing levels? Just in case it is helpful, other chemicals that appeared as highly deficient in the test were SAMe, Germanium, Strontium, and Vitamin K2. Thank you for the video
Do you know, not everybody is sensitive to histamine. If you get the data, it’s only one factor of many that can be causing migraines. So I think that if you’re gonna do it by trial and error, just give it a couple of weeks and listen to your body.
You should have taken a histamine tolerance test. If you score under 40 you are an overmethylater. I came in at 21 and I have definitely improved my situation by eating fermented foods. I don’t take any methylated vitamins. 4:19 If you score over 70, you are an undermethylater. These folks should definitely take DAO as well as a supplement like trimethylglycine.
@ameliascottbarrettmd Not sure if I have histamine intolerance, but it is however a major trigger of migraines. Most triggers you can identify have some level of interaction with histamine. Exercise, coffee, having an empty stomach, etc. Therefore, having a balanced level of histamines is important, as well as not doing things that may induce a high volume of histamines being released within a short amount of time, such as high intensity exercise. However, I do also know that histidine plays a major role in brain function. So, if I am deficient in histidine, how can I increase my histidine intake to normal levels, without triggering migraines due to the increase of histamine production. Not sure if it's possible. Just trying to figure out how to manage migraines and stay healthy.
Dr. I'm a Brazilian teacher and I've been suffering from migraine for almost 30 years, today I'm 55 and I've started and it seems that the pain has become chronic, it's still controlled with triptans associated with painkillers like ibuprofen. However, I started to panic because I'm afraid that the medication won't work anymore and I couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel to end the crises. Now watching your videos I've regained hope because they make a lot of sense. Thank you for your valuable work. ❤ meditation is life
You are so welcome! Meditation is such an incredible healing tool.
Fish turns my stomach. I can’t eat it.
I totally get that - sometimes it helps if you take it with food, and then some hot tea. Or, you can just eat actual fish!
@@ameliascottbarrettmd She didn't say fish OIL turns her stomach, she said FISH does.

I'm sorry to hear that. But don't ever give up, keep going until you are healed
I took 400mg of b2 it made my migraine worse
Hmm, idk exactly why that happened ~ there are so many hidden causes of migraines that it can be hard to figure out without labs
Gaps diet😊
I just googled it, that sounds like a good approach!
@@ameliascottbarrettmd it is crutial*
This is extremely helpful. Excellent questions asked and the answers are clear and concise. Thank you, ladies, both for putting this information out there in an easy-to-understand formation. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Are there side effects with the coq10? And does it intersct with candesartan?
No, there shold not be any side effects but if you notice anything, then lower your dose or stop. And no, there are no interactions with Candesartan, but do let your doctor know if you start taking a new supplement. ~Dr. B
@@ameliascottbarrettmd Thank you!
I appreciate every video you and the other doctor put out. You’re very kind to do it. I’ve tried everything. And believe me. I will try these supplements too. Maybe these ones will do the trick. Thanks again.❤
OK, LMK how it goes!! Just remember, true healing takes time, and there is often more than one thing that needs to be fixed. You're welcome to learn more about that by taking the quiz at theheadachequiz.com
my neurologist has me on 400 mg B2 and it has helped.
Awesome!
Your question……why 400mg of B2? It is dose dependent. 1 or 2 mg is nothing & will do nothing. Since it is water soluble, there is no danger of overdose. I had the NutrEval testing done a couple of years ago thru a Functional Medicine Doctor (trained at Vanderbilt). The one nutrient that was really low was B2. Also, the one a day multi vitamins are typically synthetic & not broken down by the body……..best to go with food based supplements.
That's awesome that you had testing done to figure out what you actually needed! We need more of that in migraine management. And I totally agree about the usual multivitamins; here's the one I like for myself and for the students in Migraine Relief Code: us.fullscript.com/plans/ameliascottbarrettmd-one-multivitamin. It has 3 mg of riboflavin. But we've never done any studies with doses of riblofavin lower than 400 mg, so I just don't think we know how much you really need to reduce migraines, you know? And I think definitely if you have the bandwidth to take more supplements, go for it! Take B2 in addition to the multi! I feel like a lot of people want to focus on what they really need, and in this case there is no science to say that a lower dose won't help.
Should this be done while lying down or seated?
Lying down!
So I’ve always been told (20 years of migraines) that it can be 72 hours for trigger reaction. So because you didn’t get a headache “that day” doesn’t seem totally accurate
I think it depends on how you're using the word... yes, if you have a food sensitivity, as opposed to a food allergy, the reaction can be delayed. Many people use the word "trigger" to describe something like a barometric pressure change or a glass of red wine, where you get a migraine within a few hours.
There is so much great information out there about nutrition and migraine but I am relieved when I can find a source I KNOW I CAN TRUST. Thank you for your mission to get this information to us.
You are so welcome! I'm putting as much free content out there as I can!
@@ameliascottbarrettmd I am using it! Thank you!
This woman is clueless. Histamines cause headaches.
Hmm, I don't think I said otherwise. Some people have high levels of histamine from problems like allergies or MCAS that does contribute to headaches, but that's not the case for everybody. I think all people with headaches need testing to figure out the root causes of their headaches so that they aren't working really hard to treat a problem they don't have.
@@ameliascottbarrettmd You said people should keep eating high histamine foods because they have "probiotics"! They will keep having migraines.
This is real yoga.
Glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing this piece of your yourself with us. Your expertise and path for healing is irreplaceable. Please do more of these wonderful yoga videos!
I LOVE doing these, thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you so much. I would like to get better nutrition, as you suggest, but I'm so sensitive to so many foods now, that any little deviation from my 'safe' diet, triggers a migraine. Any suggestions?
Absolutely. For many people in this situation, the problem is all of the things "under the iceberg" that are contributing to the headaches. Once you fix those, then headaches get better. In addition, food sensitivity testing can help. Here’s the link to a quiz that will ask a few questions so I can send you tips helpful for your situation: theheadachequiz.com
Cottonwood fluff comes from the flower/seed from female trees. it is not the pollen containing part of the tree, which is produced only by male plants well before the female catkins appear. People mistakenly blame the fluff for their allergy symptoms but it is something else that is releasing pollen at the same time, for example pine. Cottonwood trees are incredible medicine as well as keystone species for river health and it's unfortunate that they gets such a bad reputation from misinformation.
Huh, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!! ~Dr. B
