What causes headaches and migraines? How can you avoid them naturally? What about trigger foods for headaches?
Headaches and migraines can severely impact your life and make you lose out on important things. If you're like a lot of people, you might get frequent headaches and migraines. Maybe all the over the counter medications aren't working so well for you. But there are plenty of natural ways to manage these pesky developments that nature can throw your way and it's all explained in this podcast.
We also share my discovery on how a common household product could be linked to autism.
Migraines and headaches can be managed using natural methods. Many of the over-the-counter medications on the market are loaded with chemicals that can be harmful for your health. In this podcast, Dr. Thom gives tips on how to avoid some of these products. He also tells about a surprising discovery with Autism and why you need to STOP taking this specific OTC if you are under the age of 30.
In this episode, we go over the different types of headaches (and migraines) the natural ways to treat them, and a little known secret that can help with immune function.
In the 2022 review, led by Jasmine Cendejas-Hernandez of Duke University states that a 2008 case-controlled study led by Stephen Schulz was the first to indicate acetaminophen’s adverse effect on neurodevelopment. Through parental survey research they found that children with autistic disorder (n=83) were far more likely to have received acetaminophen after MMR vaccination than healthy control children (n=80). Ibuprophen use was not associated with an increase rate of autism.
According to Cendejas-Hernandez et al, the American College of Obstetritions and Gynecologists (ACOG) has refused to caution against acetaminophen use during pregnancy. ACOGS clinical guidance for physicians is not to change clinical practice until prospective studies are done. The Duke researchers respond: “it is difficult to rationalize the need for such a high level of certainty regarding a drug never demonstrated to be safe or life-saving, where judgement should presumably err on the side of caution and avoidance of harm… the drug would not meet current safety standards during preclinical testing due to adverse, long-term neurological effects in laboratory animals, and thus would never reach phase 1 testing under the current regulatory system.”
