In this video, we’re going to talk about the #1 vitamin deficiency behind migraines. Migraines can cause debilitating pain and hypersensitivity to smells, sounds, and light. They can also cause nausea and increase the impulse to vomit.
Migraines can be genetic, but this doesn’t mean you have to live with them. You have to understand the epigenetic factors that can potentially help you override this genetic weakness.
There is a connection between under-functioning mitochondria and migraines. This vitamin is involved with an enzyme that helps preserve the aerobic metabolism in your mitochondria. It also helps you build up glutathione.
One of the earliest indications of Parkinson’s disease is the failure of the glutathione mechanism. If you don’t have enough glutathione, it can cause serious damage to your neurons.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency is the vitamin deficiency often involved with migraines. If you have a genetic problem in your mitochondria, you may need more vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 helps allow oxygen to work through the mitochondria.
Try taking 400 mg of vitamin B2 to help prevent migraines. If you want to know how to get rid of a migraine if you already have one, try taking 100 mg of vitamin B2 every hour until your migraine symptoms are gone—but don't exceed 400 mg per day.
Sodium deficiencies can also cause migraines. Consuming more sea salt can help. If vitamin B2 doesn’t provide migraine relief, you can also try ginger or turmeric.

00:00 🧠 Migraines can be genetic, but understanding epigenetics may help mitigate them.
01:22 💊 Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) deficiency is linked to migraines, particularly due to mitochondrial dysfunction.
02:56 💡 Increasing riboflavin intake, up to 400mg per day, may help alleviate migraines, especially in cases of mitochondrial genetic issues.
03:10 🧪 Low glutathione levels due to oxidative stress can contribute to migraines and Parkinson’s disease.
04:03 💊 Taking riboflavin (B2), increasing sodium intake, and using herbal antioxidants like ginger or turmeric may help alleviate migraines.

If, my headache is from environmental mold , 1 square of 100% pure chocolate knocks it out in an hour.
Thank u😊
@@guysumpthin2974what is the relation between mold and dark chocolate
@@guysumpthin2974 why pure chcolate?
A cured patient is another lost customer
I really doubt this statement. We Doctor ‘s. try to make symptom Free, if not possible to Cure it.
This should be the motto of the modern health system in the USA xD
Facts

Not really, doctors are beholden to the government, big pharma and the universities
That’s why the medical community functions as a sickness model as opposed to a wellness model as a whole.
i went to the er due to a severe migrane and they gave me their cocktail of a ibupropen type drug intrav. along with benydrl and compazine for vomiting..worked like a charm and so now i have advil pm always on hand…surprising combo ..i quarter one pill till it kicks it out.
I suffered debilitating migraines all my life from age 6. All the women in my family have. Ketovore fixed the issue for me. Not sure if it was the food changes or the 600mg of magnesium glycinate I take daily now.
In my case the magnesium helps a lot. I get way fewer migraines and cluster headaches now.
I suffered from regular migraines for the first 25 years of my life. I was told it was genetic. I was given pills. Loads of stuff that didn’t work. You know what it turned out to be? Muscles. Yup. The migraines were caused by my habit of sitting for hours everyday. Basically, I had created tension in my shoulders and neck, which made muscle tissue there swell. This inflammation of the muscles put pressure on the nerves in my neck and shoulder, which gave me horrific migraines and regular headaches for the first 2/3 of my life.
Yet, it turned out to just be muscles. I switched from sitting at the computer to standing; and I also started practicing certain Qigong routines. No more headaches. The whole experience has shown me that a significant portion of human pain actually comes from physical muscle inflammation. We don’t give our muscles enough credit; they play a HUGE role in our physical well-being.
Cervicogenic headache- pain radiating from cervical nerve root- is an important cause of headache. Correction of postures and neck exercise is helpful.
I’d prefer to eat food for vitamin B2, instead of taking supplements. I think it can minimize cancer risk
Smart
Dr Berg thank you for all the videos that help people for free. I have been suffering from a pain in my left toe for a while now, it comes and goes but I wonder what it could mean? Would love to hear your opinion on this subject.
For the past 5 to 10 years (I am 71), I increasingly got headaches during the night. They would start around 2 to 4 AM, and not even coffee would mitigate them. They were not migraines per se, but they were bad. They occured about 2 to 4 X per week. About 6 weeks ago a friend who is a health nut suggested that I take an B complex vitamin simply for my general health; so I purchased a bottle and a good nature store. Little did I expect that my headaches would disappear, but after a couple of weeks it suddenly dawned on me that “hey, no headaches”. In the past month, I have had only one night-time headache, and the B-Complex, IMO, is the most likely explanation for the cessation of my headaches. BTW: I take the B complex with my supper.
Please let go of the coffee…caffeine is a POISON…slow but SURE…!
What brand? Can you share the name of the B. Complex please
Good call to take food with what is needed to turn that fuel into working vitality.
I have exactly the same problem… during the night 2-4am. When I get up, walk around or watch TV in the middle of the night, it goes away usually after 1 hour.
Are you saying, that you take B-Complex vitamin every evening, and how much… can one overdose on B vitamins?
Strange, my neurologist did not know that… but incompetence among doctors is the reason we patients must educate ourselves.
@@dee468 Brand: Solaray; “High Potency B-Complex”; Chewables (taste like a sweet-tart). They are easy to chew and they are fairly large. I bite one in half and take the half with supper. I purchased them at a local health and nature store. FYI: I also purchased a bottle of NOW (brand), combo D-3 and K2 capsule, but I had been taking D-3 and K2 separately for over a year so I do not think this purchase explains the cessation of my headaches. I did not mention this, but I also noticed that my need to urinate twice a night has decreased to one or none per night. This too was an abrupt change, but I did not mention it in my original comment. BTW: the one night that I did get a headache might have (not sure) been caused by having a liqueur on ice cream for my dessert after supper. I am avoiding doing that again.
i had severe regular migraines for age 14 to 23, temporary visual aura, loss of sensation in face and hands, uncontrolable projectile vomiting and of course excruciating headache, id have them maybe 6-8 times a year would last 24-48hrs, for me they completely went away when i stopped eating store bought pasteurized Holstein dairy, I’ve experimented pretty thoroughly, i can eat raw sheep, goat and a2 jersey dairy without an issue but when ever i slip up (which is rare to never now a days) and eat something with “cheap generic store bought dairy” in it ill have a migraine a day or 2 later, nothing else seems to trigger them for whatever reason, no store dairy = no migraines for me
yes i also couldnt meat and that scared me very much
couldnt eat anything not meat sorry
🧠Migraine Foods Best is 🦴 Bone Soup Liver & SweetPotato‼️
💠Mineral Magnesium Almonds Guava etc
💠Vit B2 & B3 Whole Grains Jowar Sorghum
❌Avoid Refined Packed Preserved & Cold Foods
👍🙌💪
Thanks!
12 years ago I started taking ginger for migraines and it cures 95+% of my migraines. 1/8h of a teaspoon works for me, powdered and in capsules. I have been hospitalized for migraines, paralyzed temporarily, ocular, etc and it works like a charm.
That’s amazing!
Praise God!! Thank you for sharing this. 🙏
Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Thanks.
Raw or dried ginger you’re using?
Dumping dairy and adding in magnesium helped reduce mine
I actually take a good pinch of Celtic sea salt with a glass of water whenever I have this. For me, it’s more effective than Excedrin.
Thanks for this idea!!!
Been getting migraines for years. Recently experienced an ocular migraine. Thank you so much for this info..
I’ve been getting ocular migraines since 8th grade. Scary!! I was always afraid i was going to lose my sight. 25 years later I was finally diagnosed by Mayo Clinic.
I get ocular migraines. The vibrating prisms are often just white, but I almost ( big on the “almost”) enjoy it when they are in vibrant colours.
Fasting has helped me keep insulin at a normal level. I found I used to snack on glutenous foods before bed. I would wake up with awful tunnel vision and migraines. Fresh food and veggies in the diet is a must.
I definitely will try this. My daily chronic migraines are genetic, hormonal, and atmospheric. Most remedies work for a little bit, but then stop working.
I suffer with migraines. I have since I was 10 years old before my period started at 11. My Mom & Grandmother have heavy bleeding & pains, I inherited it. But only my Great Grandmother had migraines. I started birth control at 17 to combat symptoms. After I got Covid first of the year 2022. My body has been dealing with inflammation & my migraines have gotten 10x worse. Hormonal is getting better since I switched BC pills. But they are Debilitating & I’m definitely going to try B2!
Nature’s Way brand RIBOFLAVIN / Vitamin B2 is sold in 400mg per tablet.
I first had a terrifying migraine when I was in my 20s. I suddenly had a big black blob in the middle of my vision. I wondered if Ihad somehow y looked at the sun.. that was crazy, of course I had not. Then I thought “stroke!” I called a doctor I knew wholistened and said “migraine aura.” he was right. I went on to have migraines with flashing light auras and other symptoms but never horrible headaches. Here’s the good news: All my migraine symptoms went away after I began taking high dose B complex and other supplements – including magnesium. ( Dr. Berg has posted youtubes about the mag/migraine connection before… magnesium profoundly helped mine).
I used to get bad migrane too
But it wasn’t food related.
I went to India for a 3 months trip
Stopped using johnson baby oil on my hair tips.
Instead used coconut oil etc.
I came back to Singapore and realised “hang on I have not had these bad migraines!
Sometimes what you are putting on your hair/scalp can also cause such issues.
