One of the hottest topics amongst Health and Wellness doctors is Vitamin D.?? New discoveries over the last two years have really opened up the science on this very important vitamin.

Actually, Vitamin D functions more like a true hormone.?? It affects multiple organ systems all over the body.

We are now finding that Vitamin D affects far more than just your bones.?? Higher levels of Vitamin D improve your body’s stance against inflammation, pain, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancers and even migraines.

One of the main actions of Vitamin D is to suppress a transcription factor called “NF-kappaB”.?? This NF-kappaB is a promoter of the body’s inflammation cascade in response to stress, radiation, free radicals, cytokines and bacterial and viral infections.

However, in cases were someone is deficient in Vitamin D, NF-kappaB is allowed to promote inflammation unchecked and bad things happen in the long run.

The other bad thing is that almost the entire population of the planet is deficient in Vitamin D.?? Exposure to sunlight doesn’t help much, either.?? Just ask the folks in Saudi Arabia whose latest study showed an 83% deficiency of Vitamin D amongst a group over there.

The New England Journal of Medicine stated some years ago that “Vitamin D Deficiency is Pandemic”, meaning that it is bigger than an epidemic.?? The Mayo Clinic determined that nearly everyone in Minnesota is Vitamin D deficient.

So where does that leave us??? We recommend that the entire planet start taking Vitamin D supplements whether you have migraines or not.?? That means men, women and children.?? New guidelines state that we should take 5000 IU’s per day.?? This is up from the old 400 IU’s per day of a couple years ago.

Where do you get Vitamin D in this form??? We recommend Vitamin D5000 at www.VitaminD5000.com .

One thing that big drug companies have been telling women suffering from migraine headaches for decades is that the passage of time helps.?? The makers of Imitrex state that migraine headaches become less intense after menopause.

That is small consolation if you are 25 years old and are experiencing migraines 2 times a week. Just tough it out for the next 25 years and you will feel better.

There are several things wrong with that concept:

1. Why should a woman have to wait 25 years to feel better?

2. Why do many women get their first migraine AFTER menopause?

3. Many, many women never improve (if left untreated) even after menopause.

Let me address the above items.

First, we have the ability to make migraines go away NOW.???? There is no reason to wait 25 years.?? If you like at my website, I mention that the primary cause of migraines is a hormone deficiency.?? Well, that hormone deficiency can be corrected immediately and there is no reason to wait 25 years.

Second, the reason why some menopausal women develop migraines for the first time is the relative deficiency of hormones versus other hormones. Another way to state this is an unbalance in the proper ratio of hormones. Menopause typically means an estrogen deficiency.?? Estrogen production declines more rapidly than other hormones and this is the straw that broke the camel’s back, if you like metaphoric descriptions.

Third, women with hormone deficiencies for decades are just as likely to keep that relative deficiency balance right through menopause, albeit with slight improvement sometimes.

The point of this is not to lose heart and face the fear of having migraines forever. Rather, migraines in most women are relatively simple to address.?? You should see the stack of testimonial letters I receive from women on a daily basis who prove the point.
