Try GINGER for your migraines
There's recent research that ginger may help reduce the severity of a migraine attack. You can use it fresh or dried and it can help both the headache and the nausea & vomiting.
Either make some tea with hot water or you can stir a small teaspoon of dried ginger into a glass of cold water, let it settle, and drink the 'ginger juice' if that tastes better.

Try it and let us know how you get on. And have an excellent Christmas, from all at LMC

This article outlines the scientific evidence for ginger in reducing migraine pain and associated nausea and considers its potential use as a home remedy.

Lock-down is being relaxed but there is a real danger of infection rates rising because most Covid-19 infection is by touch not coughing. The virus can live for many hours on plastic surfaces (including food packaging), where it can transfer between people.
Some food shops are offering hand sanitiser but most are not. To keep us all as safe as possible it should be available as we enter all shops

We've just started a petition for the Government to keep us all safer by ordering all food stores to offer hand sanitiser to all customers as you enter

COVID-19 - HOW TO HELP SAVE LIVES - what we need to do and why we need to do it....

Have a look at the video in this link. It helps explain why the numbers are rising so fast, and how, individually, we can make a difference!

Please like our page and circulate this important video

It has spread so fast because many people (especially if you are young) don't even know they have it. The Virus lives for 3 days on plastic wrapping so wash the food you buy as well as your hands. Some people report mild diarrhoea, probably because they have caught COVID-19 through their gut rather than their lungs. The Virus lives for 3 days on plastic wrapping so WASH THE FOOD YOU BUY AS WELL AS YOUR HANDS.

Healthy young doctors on the front line are dying because they breathe an enormous dose of the virus into their lungs. They get an overwhelming infection because the lungs have the surface area the size of a tennis court and the virus can replicate very quickly.

Hopefully there will soon be a test to find out who has had it without realising, and then they will be immune

As a doctor researching new and simple treatments for migraines a research colleague mentioned 1000mg Vitamin C can abort a migraine attack

The reasons are complicated but relate to the clearance of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain

It would appear that it is more likely to work with episodic migraines than continuous symptoms

Anyway it is very easy to try taking Vitamin C and I would be interested to hear from anyone with episodic symptoms (and indeed anyone with continuous symptoms) who tries this

Really simple and really cheap!

MORE NEWS on Daith Piercing for Migraines. Schools are now accepting that it’s a medical treatment - helped by our Guide for Schools and Pupils

You can reacd it at https://london-migraine-clinic.co.uk/more-information/downloads

Bobbiemay Smith was excluded from school because they said the Daith was jewellery that broke their rules. You may have read about it in the national newspapers when her dad glued himself to the school railings. I was able to write a letter to the school explaining it was a medical treatment and Bobbiemay is now back at school and the Daith has been keeping her migraine-free.

It is confusing for schools because GPs often don’t feel as though they know enough about Daith Piercing to say it is a medical treatment so we have written a common-sense guide for schools and pupils explaining their rights and obligations in making “reasonable adjustments” to school rules for medical treatments

The really important thing is common sense! If a treatment can stop a pupil having days ill from school then it’s really important for the pupil and the school.

See our guide at at https://london-migraine-clinic.co.uk/more-information/downloads

Do pass this post on and follow the page for the latest news on Daith Piercing. If more schoolkids can be saved from what Bobbiemay has been through the world will be a better place!!

Put an end to your migraines with our specialist migraine treatments. Available from our clinic in Central London. Visit us today for a consultation.

LATEST MEDICAL NEWS on Daith Piercing
Specialist headache neurologists are beginning to take interest in Daith Piercing. I’ve been working hard on my research and have presented it at several medical headache conferences over the last 9 month – with another one in 3 days!
A Daith might not work for everyone but our research shows that the effect can be marked and long-lasting.
We’ve shown that we can produce the same immediate effect as a Daith with temporary stimulation and several specialist doctors have taken the kit away to test the effect on their own patients. It’s not complete proof but it’s a start - doctors are naturally conservative about new treatments. Once they can see the effect for themselves then they will feel inspired to join in the medical research I have started.

Tell your friends with migraines, and add a ‘Like’ to our page. You will get more info as it becomes ready for release. I am preparing a medical research paper for publication….
