What I think is migraine freedom friendly and safe to use.

Let’s face it - shopping used to be so much easier pre migraines. I would go to the store and buy what looked good or what was on sale. Words like natural, fresh, healthy, and whole grains would lure me in.

Fast forward many years and a lot of experience later, I learned how important it is to read labels thoroughly and not be drawn in by flashy advertising and buzz words.

Packaging can be deceiving and doesn't give the whole picture about a product.  Reading the nutritional label and/or researching a product is the only way to determine its quality.

It took me a lot of trial and error to find products I like, that work well, and are safe for myself and my family.

I'm sharing my experience and research here with you in hopes you will find products that work for you as well.

Below is a list I have compiled of some of my go to products.  I will continue to add items as I find new favorites...as well as delete items that no longer meet my expectations.

Young Living Essential Oils

I have been using Young Living essential oils for several years.  While my focus is not on selling oils as a business (that’s not my thing), I have been asked about oils for migraine, about Young Living, and about buying & even selling their products. If you are interested in oils, I hope that this information helps with the “which option” sign up portion of joining Young Living.

Regardless of the method you use, the best way to purchase your oils is to sign up. You can’t get member-only discounts and freebies any other way!

What if the low-salt ideology is wrong? 

Dr. James DiNicolantonio has reviewed 500+  publications to unravel the impact of salt on blood pressure and heart disease. He’s reached a startling conclusion: The vast majority of us don’t need to watch our salt intake. In fact, for most of us, more salt would be advantageous to our nutrition—especially for those of us on the keto diet, as keto depletes this important mineral from our bodies. t

Norwex

When someone introduced me to Norwex I was initially skeptical.  For years I thought I was not cleaning well if I couldn't detect a harsh chemical smell while cleaning.  I thought I had to have a different cleaning product for each area of my home to ensure I was removing germs and dust.  I decided the only way I was going to find out if Norwex worked was to put it to the test.  I was so thrilled when I realized Norwex products were easy to use, cleaned my home better than the products I was using and cost me less money overall.  I also could clean my home much faster and found it was easier too! My house is now cleaning chemical free and I feel so much better.

"It has been a totally unexpected side effect! [before working with Debbie] I was very anxious generally, having waves of panic. On a scale from 1-10, (10 being high anxiety) most days my anxiety was an 8 or 9. I used to panic about going out of the house, or I'd pace about inside feeling caged! 

I'd panic at work, feeling like I couldn't escape. I'd panic in social situations, in the car, constantly feeling on edge. I was struggling to get through my day, I was overwhelmed. Not coping well at all. 

Since starting The Freedom From Migraines Method all of that is GONE! Now my anxiety level is usually a 2 or less. It is SO good to be without that! I have moments now, but that's all they are. 

Now I can manage my workday with only the external stresses of the work, not my internal chaos of anxiety. So even if I have a migraine, I don’t suffer that anxious feeling any more.

Still having some migraines but the last one disappeared at 24 hours instead of 72. Big progress for me."

Anna S. - Suffolk, United Kingdom

"I can NOT believe I’m able to post this... AND... I’m actually telling the whole truth (not one I wished for). Due to what I’ve learned in The Freedom From Migraines Method, yesterday I was able to make choices & prioritize myself in a way that allowed me to go from a level 5 migraine... that was heading right up the scale.... all the way down to NO MIGRAINE AT ALL! 

Using the strategies I learned in The Freedom From Migraines Method, instead of resorting to my old ways of taking medication that barely touched the pain…

I chose to:

*Make sure I was hydrated (go water)!

*Eat clean, simple proteins & greens! (Yay JERF-just eat real food!)

*I used my essential oils (yay for Panaway & peppermint)!

*I went for a gentle, medium-length walk in the fall outdoors (yay gentle movement)!

*I took an online yoga class focused on restorative & immune boosting poses (yay for yoga)!

AND (with a little reshuffling) I still managed to help support my 1st grader complete most of (at least the most important ones) her work & attend her All Virtual Day sessions at home.

Before this program, a migraine-like this would have had me in bed for at least a day if not longer. Hallelujah! It is possible!!! So hang in there & keep going! It’s soooo worth it!!

Thank you Debbie! Migraine-free wishes to all!"

“I have suffered from migraines since I was a teenager and have spent a fortune trying to figure out how to stop my pain and get my life back.

I saw neurologists, endocrinologists, and even went to a specialist pain clinic in London.

I have only just finished week one of the programme and feel better already. For 40 years I have suffered migraines, and this week I have not had a single headache!!  

I have had some pain in my neck and shoulders but unlike in the past, I haven’t needed to take any medication and the pain has not developed into full-blown migraines which has been fantastic.

Seeing these results after just one week makes me excited about week 2 and the rest of the programme.”

Caron D. - Warwickshire, United Kingdom

There is nothing better than getting your wife back!

“I saw my wife’s first migraine about 3 months into our relationship. We have been together for over 16 years and each year they became more problematic. Due to her migraines, life has been unpredictable, difficult, a learning curve, and full of worry!

I felt so awful and useless seeing her in pain and struggling with anxiety. I am an engineer and used to solving things, plus I'm a volunteer firefighter used to fixing things and making things better and I couldn't do anything. I felt so helpless and just wanted to take the pain away for her but couldn't.

We often had to change plans due to her migraines-which I never minded- but it did mean I sometimes had to take over when the children were younger and had lots of activities planned. I often went to events on my own rather than us going together because Anna was in pain. 

One year we had a wonderful 10-day break planned in the Florida keys which she ended up having a migraine for 7 days of it. We didn't go out as much as we had hoped and planned. 

Some nights I would go out for takeaway rather than cook in the house and create smells that would make her nausea worse and I often would put my deodorant on in the car at work as the smell would be too much even if I used it in a different room in the house.

Most of our days were Quiet! The children and I knew to keep noise, light, and smell to a minimum. We would just get on and get things done quietly so that she wouldn't worry about what she 'should' be doing.

Since enrolling in The Freedom From Migraines Method Anna’s anxiety is much reduced, she is more relaxed and definitely sleeping better. She has one migraine a month now which is a 2/3 reduction in frequency and she has confidence in managing that one while she works to end them altogether. 

Our diet has been changed slightly but, I am happy to eat this way as it is better for me too. 

It’s great that we don't have to check our stock of painkillers regularly as she doesn't use them very often now and we can leave the house with just her “Migraine 911 kit” and feel happy that we can manage any early signs.

Once lockdown is over I look forward to accepting more social invitations without being tentative about them-having to cancel last minute as she's unwell and we will enjoy our weekly ballroom dancing lessons again. 

It is just lovely to have my wife back and not feel so helpless and sorry for her so often.

If any spouse is wondering if they should support their loved one into joining The Freedom From Migraines Method...Just do it, try it, there is nothing better than getting your wife back!”

Harry S. - Suffolk, United Kingdom

“For 38 years, I have searched out alternative therapies and treatments as a sole cure for migraines. 

All of them helped dull some of the symptoms in the moment but the painful migraines came back and sometimes for 3-4 days at a time. 

I have tried homeopathy, osteopathy, acupuncture, Bowen technique, kinesiology, the Curable App, elimination diets, as well as appointments at the migraine clinic in London. 

I felt optimistic when I came across the Women’s Migraine group and hoped to discover some drug free alternatives and insights into the management of my migraine.

Freedom From Migraines Method [group] has helped me move into an optimistic space to want to change. I feel enabled and that this really might work!

Whenever I watch one of Debbie's videos in the group, I feel supported and encouraged to go get a glass of water/ go for a walk / get to bed on time!

AND this week I realised that I have not had a migraine for three weeks.  I am menopausal and was suffering from at least one migraine a week before then.  

I am so excited to keep going and to feel more and more healthy and migraine free.”

“Exercise and being outdoors is important to me. I live in Colorado and my husband and I love to hike, ski and ride bikes. 

Over time migraines took that pleasure away from me.  If I rode my bike strenuously in the morning, I would be floored with a 4-day migraine.  I wanted to be fit again and not afraid of working out or unable to work out because of a migraine, 

Since I joined Debbie’s program and started to pay attention to the foods I am eating and what I am drinking,  I’m feeling rather great!  

I did a couple of rides without killer migraines and feel that the "method" is working even though I haven’t completed the program yet.”

“I'm getting ready to move so did some painting yesterday.  The spot was difficult to reach plus was in direct sunlight causing the light to shine in my eyes which usually triggers a migraine. On top of that, I didn’t sleep well last night (another trigger for me) so expected to be a mess today. 

Just a little while ago it occurred to me that I haven't had a lot of head pain or head pressure today!!!  This is a huge win for me since I have woken with head pressure every day for as long as I can remember.” 

Lisa M. - Pennsylvania USA

“I was having 2-3 migraines a week. I’d spend hours in a dark room curled up in bed, with an icepack on my head, diffusing essential oils, trying to not vomit. 

I tried every holistic approach I could think of-supplements, acupuncture, exercise, sleep, water, essential oils... but nothing made the migraines stop. I was tired of wasting time trying to figure out how to end my migraines then not succeeding.

Now I am able to "set myself up" for pain-free days or, at the very least, able to manage and lower my migraine pain so I can be fully engaged in my life. If I can do that in the wake of a pandemic, I can do anything!  

I have discovered a newfound ability & courage to prioritize myself (again)! I am truly grateful and amazed.’’

From walking on eggshells to hearing my wife laugh again

It was upsetting to see Caron in so much pain so regularly and not be able to do anything to help. I felt completely helpless at times.

When Caron was really suffering, she had less enthusiasm, less energy to join in family activities, withdrew from us, and seemed unhappy a lot of the time.

I had to take days off work when the kids were little or come home early to do the school pick up. I also spent a lot of time playing with them or taking them out by myself at the weekend when Caron was struggling.

Caron understandably was far less tolerant and patient due to her pain. I felt like I was often walking on eggshells, never quite sure what to say or do. It put a huge strain on our relationship and was frustrating for the family as a whole. It was incredibly upsetting and I felt completely helpless.  

It was as if I could not reach Caron when she was in pain. Her headaches were so frequent that it was difficult to be supportive all of the time though and I found this difficult to deal with too.

She took so much medication that we did not often have to change plans socially - although she was never quite herself when we went out due to the medication side effects.

Now after completing the Freedom From Migraines Method program, Caron has lots more energy, is less tired, is far happier, and is much more positive about life.

Not being in daily pain, she is on a much more even keel and has the tolerance and patience to handle the stressors of everyday life. 

It is great to see that she has a new zest for life and is able to pursue things she enjoys like learning Spanish and enrolling for a writing course...neither of which were possible before due to her migraines.  

She laughs a lot more which is great too!!       

I look forward to doing more things as a couple and as a family - with Caron being "present" and not detached/withdrawn because she is in pain. 

If there are any spouses out there wondering if their loved one should enroll in The Freedom From Migraines Method I say, “Go for it!” I would highly recommend the programme after seeing how it has helped Caron and transformed All of our lives.”
