Abstract
Migraine is among the top 20 most disabling diseases 1. Despite the significant progress in pain management, migraine‐cause is still not understood. Most research is focused on pain, making it difficult to see the cause of migraine. How nutrition affects ionic channels and electrolyte homeostasis have not yet been connected to migraines.Migraine is caused by channelopathy 2 the following way: hyper‐sensory brain 3; increased sensory‐neuron connections 4; extra voltage used by extra connections 5, 6; extra voltage uses more sodium 7; glucose entering cells causes sodium efflux 8; kidneys waste potassium 9, 10 and water to spare sodium; reduced sodium in circulation triggers increased aldosterone, cortisol, and adrenaline 11; cortisol and adrenaline increase glucose in the blood 12; glucose entering cells causes sodium and water efflux (as noted earlier), initiating the previous steps with adrenaline and cortisol 8. This cycle leads to migraine.In this presentation, I derive the migraine‐process, forming a coherent picture and show how the proper nutrition may prevent migraines. There is a considerable interplay between nutrition high in carbohydrates, low in salt, and migraines. Carbohydrates have a detrimental effect on electrolytes, which may be the most important factor in migraine cause.Support or Funding InformationStanton Migraine Protocol Inc.,
