Question
My daughter who is 15 has had ha, gen aches, stomach issues etc since age 12. She was recently diagnosed w/fibromyalgia, having 16 of 18 tender points. The worst part for her are the headaches. She is a good student but recently got 77 semester grade in english after a semester on topamax. She is a vegetarian since age 12 also. Can you give us holistic remedies for headaches?

Answer
Hello Robin,

When working with headaches with a FM person you must look at the whole picture.  You can't just take an herbal for the headahces but this is part of the big picture of Fibromyalgia.  FM is generally an adrenal burnout issues, so the adrenals and liver play harmony here.  The liver is the root issue often with headaches but the adrenals must be addresed to overcome the headaches as well.

Protein is essential, eating about 2 ounces of quality protein which is good for your childs blood type is going to be very important.

To know what to do for the liver I would have to do a complete consults as we would need to know if the liver is cold and needs to be built up or hot and needs to be cleansed.

I do have a phone conferencing call you can listen to on adrenal burnout which might help you understand the bigger picture which is going on here.

You can e-mail me at tonjawells@aol.com to receive the information to listen to this call.

If you would like to schedule a phone consult for your daugher you can also do that.  

Unfortunatly there is not one good answer for headaches, but lots and lots of questions which must be answered to get to the root of the issue of which headaches are a symptoms. I have personally overcome FM and have been well for over 16 years.

Hope that helps.

To your health,
