Any chance this author is going to come out of the shadows and face his accusers? Any chance he’ll respond to the above comments? ]]>

Wow! As so many before me have said I am appauled at the inaccuracy of the information that you have provided here. Migraines are a genetic, neurological disease. They are not tension headaches and while yes, certain aspects of ones life, poor diet, poor sleep habits, other poor life style choices may be triggers (contributing factors) and may in some occasions even worsen their migraines they certainly do not cause them. Genetic neurological disease!!!!

If you can actually explain to me how your detox is going to do anything for my migraines, or for anyone elses, with science backing you up I would love to hear, I really would. Oranges and their juice, melons and grapefruit – three of the things you recommend be consumed during your detox – are all known migraine triggers in my world. So if by some miricle I don’t end up having a migraine from being under-nurished I can assure you I would due to consuming the food items you recommend.

None of us are close minded and if a treatment has some legitimacy and could actually cure, or even reduce the frequency of our migraines we would be jumping at it. Unfortunately this is not one of those legitimate ‘treatments’ and I beg of you to correct the mis-information that you have included in this article before some less educated migraneur endures further suffering at your hand.

I applaud the many people who have written you regarding the inaccuracies of your article, as well as your cavalier approach to Migraines. What I find astounding is that you have not pulled, retracted, or corrected your article. This leaves me to the conclusion that you are among the many who write about Migraines, not because you wish to inform and help others, but because you too want to sell something. It is so disheartening to see how many people prey upon the desires of those with Migraines and chronic pain to get well that they will suggest a “miracle” cure that is totally unfounded in science and in empirical literature. Please consult a Migraine specialist before writing about a topic that you clearly don’t know enough about to write an informed article. ]]>

Mr. Kress,

If all it took were a “special cleansing ritual” to “cure” Migraine disease, don’t you think we’d be doing it?

Your “research” appears baseless and statements like “migraine sufferers often unknowingly bring this problem on themselves through their busy daily lifestyles” are absolutely appalling.

Stick with being a certified fitness trainer and yoga instructor. Clearly you are out of your league here.

And for goodness sake, take this misinformation down at once.

I suggest to the moderator/webmaster that this well-intended article be removed for lack of content accuracy. Unless this site is intended as a venue for creative writing or self-advertisement with unsubstantiated claims then it would be okay. There are too many problems to elaborate, but it starts with a befuddled understanding of the diagnosis, in which the terms “migraine” and “tension” headache are used as though they refer to the same condition. The claim that migraine can be avoided by a balanced lifestyle and nutrition has the ring of quasi truth that could be true for many people, perhaps those that this advertiser wants to bring to his sports nutrition business, but up to 2% of people with migraine have a chronic daily headache whose problems may require coordinated care of other professionals in other disciplines, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, dentistry, medicine, and psychology. Sometimes those who suffer from a chronic daily headache also need testing to determine whether they have a serious medical/surgical condition. Lastly, but not least, a detox cleansing regimen that includes fasting for two to three days is more than likely to produce a migraine in anyone who would have occasion to seek treatment for their headache. In summary this content is fatally flawed from a factual point of view, and moreover, may produce greater harm than good for those unsuspecting few who would have the misfortune of viewing the advice as credible. ]]>

This is one of the worst articles written about migraine that I’ve read in…..ever.

You are blaming the patient for his condition. You are placing the accountability to NOT get a migraine on the patient. How ignorant. You even said that “most of the conditions that create a migraine are caused by our own actions”. Absolutely, scientifically, unequivocally false.

As an author, a self-proclaimed healthcare um…”professional”, you are miserably misinformed and judgmental. Shame on you.

So, did you actually RESEARCH migraines before writing this, or did you just pull hearsay out of your rear end and decide to roll with the stereotypes and myths you’ve heard your entire life?

Imagine me, someone not into yoga (but who knows enough about fitness to
take care of herself), writing an article as if I were an expert on both, yet using outdated opinions and thoughts to write an article on something I know little to nothing about! You wouldn’t like it. Do you know how many people I know in “excellent” health who have this disease and fight it daily? Migraine isn’t a tension headache, and it’s not brought on by what patients do to themselves.

Leave the migraine articles to the experts, and keep yourself in your fitness parameters.

I suggest more research and a more humble approach to a subject to which you know nothing. Maybe you should chat with some support groups wherein the members suffer from migraines, a legitimate, biological disease in which multiple genetic markers have been identified…It’s apparent you know next to nothing about migraine, and this article is a shame.

As a Chronic Daily Migraineur who is HIGHLY educated, I take offense that this article suggests that my migraines are MY FAULT, and if I just corrected things in my life, I’d be “cured”….I call baloney on that one! ]]>

Dear Mr. Kress,
Before you publish an article on a subject which you know entirely nothing about, please do yourself and your readers a favor and educate yourself! Much of your Migraine MISinformation is antiquated or blatantly false. I don’t see any sources listed, so I do not know where your information came from. Please consult some reliable sources and correct your article or take it down. Thank you. ]]>
