Prevalence of Headache and Migraine in Children and Adults

The prevalence of headache and migraine amongst westernised countries is high - we believe too high. And it applies to both adults and small children alike.

In one study in Finland researchers found that seven year-old children starting school are suffering headache and migraine at any increasing rate:

• Almost 52% of the children studied had suffered headache in the last 6 months (up from 14% previously)
• And almost 6% had experienced migraine (up from 2% previously)

In addition - for adult Americans from a 2003 study - in any given year:

• 90% of men and 95% of women suffer headache
• They spend $2 billion annually on over-the-counter headache medications alone
• More than 20% of all young people (15 - 25) in the US experience chronic headaches

The causes of Headache are various. But if you can rule out jaw or neck injury, almost all the other occurrences of headache can be slated back to Food Sensitivity - directly or indirectly. Food sensitivity or Food Intolerance is when you cannot fully digest certain foods.

Chronic or recurring headaches are almost always food related. Specifically they happen because of your food intolerance: the inability to fully digest certain foods. Therefore a major cause of your headaches and migraines could be one of:

• Gluten intolerance
• Dairy intolerance
• Yeast sensitivity
• Other possibilities include Corn Allergy and Nightshade Vegetables

Of course you will not have all these sensitivities - probably only one, maybe two. Learn more with the Free ebook about Food Toxins

If your headaches or migraines are chronic or frequent you must see your doctor. Otherwise: Suspect food toxins.

"I took your advice and the results have been fantastic. My headaches have reduced drastically as well as the regular wheeziness.

The biggest difference has been with the minor migrains i used to get after exercise...the hotter i got and the harder i worked out...especially running.....i would always end up with a massive headache that would last the rest of the day.

My husband and i love competing in triathlons, so in order for me to survive these headaches, i would take nurofen before a race (or workout) and then straight after....often i would still get the headache but sometimes not as bad. Now we have investigated a number of areas including my salt levels, neck and muscular problems and water intake, but nothing has solved the problem. It was getting to the point where i was scared to work out too hard (especially in summer) for fear of what i'd live with for the rest of the day......and with children...that's not good! 

Since being free of those foods i have been able to train hard and not have the headaches....it has been AMAZING....i thought it was something i would just have to live with.....so thanks a million!!!! Erica"

Blame your parents! Food intolerance is genetic . . . it's in your genes! You got it from your parents, grandparents and other ancestors!

That also means - if you have children - you have already passed on the same genetic material to your sons and daughters. Don't you think it's best to find out if you are affected by FOOD TOXINS? So you can share this precious information with other family members (older and younger)?
