Beware MSG has other names
Headaches, typical or threatening? Dr. H.C.A. Vogel, a naturopath for over 35 years said, “Let me point out that a headache per se is never an illness, only a symptom pointing to an illness that is causing it.” A headache is your body attempting to communicate a problem to you. Taking pain relievers is good for the pain, but never answers the “why” of your headache.
Finding the cause of the problem will take work and becoming a medical detective. But, if I told you that changing your diet meant that you could reduce your headaches by as much as 50 percent, would you do it?
The most common food allergens associated with headache are milk and milk products, corn, chocolate, pork, wheat, fish, nuts, eggs, chickens, onions, oranges, and caffeine. This list is not your death sentence, but just a starting point for your research and experiments.
Depending how painful your headaches are, you may want to take away all of these foods for a time and then slowly add one food at a time. When you add a food, only add one food at a time and wait at least 24 hours of being symptom free before add the next food. The two main keys to your success will be documentation of your experiments and perseverance. If you suspect you may be allergic to certain foods, do some experimenting with those foods first.
Most people who have headaches are familiar with Monosodium Glutamate or MSG, but did you know that MSG has other names? Yes, it does because food manufacturers know that there are savvy consumers who know MSG is not healthy, but need MSG to make their dead food taste fresh and alive. Here is a list to get you started. Until I swore myself off of ALL additives in my food, my migraines were plentiful. Now that my diet contains zero tolerance for additives, I am migraine and headache free. Amazing.
