Angela A Stanton, PhD, is a Neuroeconomist focusing on chronic pain--migraine in particular--physiology, electrolyte homeostasis, nutrition, and genetics. She lives in Southern California. Her current research is focused on migraine cause, prevention, and treatment without the use of medicine. As a forever migraineur from childhood, her discovery was helped by experimenting on herself. She found the cause of migraine to be at the ionic level, associated with disruption of the electrolyte homeostasis, resulting from genetic variations of all voltage dependent channels, gates, and pumps (chanelopathy) that modulate electrolyte mineral density and voltage in the brain. In addition, insulin and glucose transporters, and several other variants, such as MTHFR variants of B vitamin methylation process and many others are different in the case of a migraineur from the general population.
Migraineurs are glucose sensitive (carbohydrate intolerant) and should avoid eating carbs as much as possible. She is working on her hypothesis that migraine is a metabolic disease.
As a result of the success of the first edition of her book and her helping over 5000 migraineurs successfully prevent their migraines world wide, all ages and both genders, and all types of migraines, she published the 2nd (extended) edition of her migraine book "Fighting The Migraine Epidemic: Complete Guide: How To Treat & Prevent Migraines Without Medications". The 2nd edition is the “holy grail” of migraine cause, development, and prevention, incorporating all there is to know. It includes a long section for medical and research professionals. The book is full of academic citations (over 800) to authenticate the statements she makes to make it easy to follow up by those interested and to spark further research interest. It is a "Complete Guide", published on September 29, 2017.
Dr. Stanton received her BSc at UCLA in Mathematics, MBA at UCR, MS in Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, PhD in Economics with dissertation in neuroscience (culminating in Neuroeconomics) at Claremont Graduate University, fMRI certification at Harvard University Medical School at the Martinos Center for Neuroimaging for experimenting with neurotransmitters on human volunteers, certification in LCHF/ketogenic diet from NN (Nutrition Network), certification in physiology (UPEN via Coursea), Nutrition (Harvard Shool of Public Health) and functional medicine studies. Dr. Stanton is an avid sports fan, currently power weight lifting and kickboxing. For relaxation (yeah.. about a half minute each day), she paints and photographs and loves to spend time with her family of husband of 45 years, 2 sons and their wives, and 2 granddaughters.

Well, let the ones that get a kick out of fighting Big Pharma go on with their quest. Personally I get more excited by taking their market away, one patient at the time. You should see the people’s faces when I tell them face to face about what they are swallowing on their doctor’s orders. And whenever I get a chance I highlight the side effects section of package insert that comes with their medicines.
Oh, and Angela? I tell them about your salt and sugar too. Um…..today I had my coffee without maple syrup added….ugh!
I like that you listen to me!!! ❤ I do tell all my connections about salt. I just had a new find by hubby in one of the magazines we read on depression and how they zap the neurons in a certain part of the brain to get the area out of depolarization.. duh.. so depression is a salt deficiency problem too! What else will I find out about mental "illnesses" still to come? Gosh.. PEOPLE eat salt! Gosh!!! On the brighter side, my migraine group is growing by 10+ people a day and now close to 700 are dropping their meds and are going migraine free! For some it is just a few days, for some several months, depending on the drugs they must drop. Amazing transformations! ❤
We should have listened to the Ancient Ones who cherished salt more than gold! Not that I ever skipped salt. I love salty and spicy stuff. There was a time I amazed people by eating hot pepper sandwiches 😀 But then again, as you know, I come from the Other People, eh?
Yeah.. the ones who received their “salarium argentum” for their work I bet, like my people! 😀 You know they also knew that all salt came from the sea… did all smart people vanish with Plato and his relatives like you and I?
**Roald looking around sheepishly but attentively** Er……pfffttt……..nah…..you and I are still here, no? Besides, some silly would be scholar recently promoted me to rise to the ranks of troglodytes, remember? Had he known about Plato and the caves at my place by the sea, he would have never done that, hehe.
do you think he would ever have known of troglodytes for real? It must have been a word he looked up by accident..lol.. yeah.. I am there.. you may see a shadow every now and then… look for the one that looks like a giant hat (and no, you cannot have it!) 😀
I could write a book on this subject and being an RN (no longer will work in the system) can tell you horror story after horror story. People really need to start waking up and understanding that what is happening is called genocide. And addiction. And outright greed.
Thanks Amy! I am trying to get the message across! Hopefully with enough of us out there knowing the truth we will be successful in turning the medical system up side down to the benefit of the sick rather than the drug companies. Thanks for your comment!
Sweetie, I’ve been banging my head against the “brick wall” of medicine for years, both in human medicine and animal medicine. Yes, I have made progress, but not until years of saying no, telling doctors what I AM DOING, and proving to docs that what I do works. As to changing the actual system, I don’t have high hope. I no longer recognize medicine as a healing art. So much of it counters health, not enhancing it, as it was meant to. All we can do is to keep walking this out. I know I will until my last breath. I have nightmare stories within me of not only when I was an RN, but as a patient. The scales were cruelly ripped off my eyes, but off they came. (((HUGS))) Amy
I know that you are right and it is no news for most of us who can tell geography a bit better but it is good to remind people.. the more they hear something the more (hopefully) they believe it. Many migraineurs are more scared of eating a pinch of salt than popping in a large dose of triptan that may kill them… people are grossly mistreated in the US (and UK for that matter) by the wrong information all the time… It may not be water that is falling from the sky but it seems believable so they believe…
I know what you mean Amy. It is hard but I have nothing else to fight for so might as well put all my might into it. So far it is not visible to the public but it will be. I have achieved some success already and Bayer is following my blog here as a result as well… just watch me do damage and let them to the damage control! Until then I advise people by the thousands to NOT get medicines that will hurt them.. did you know that Tylenol connects to the cannabis receptor of the brain??? I bet you did not.. they removed Coke from the market but.. hey… Tylenol? That innocent little pain killer? Now I know why it puts some people asleep! Its a darn opiate. And so in secret! Shame on the industry… I am into my pharmacology books to learn all I can to show who and what the industry is all about from a different perspective! ❤ Hugs to you!! ❤
A nicely overly staged video, with two rather nervous ladies, hehe. There are many ex-reps coming out of the closet nowadays. Rather old news actually. Yes, yes, I know, I know, many God fearing and tax paying citizens never heard of Big Pharma’s sneaky behavior and should get duly informed about its chicaneries. Um…..probably the same people who, for instance, believe that Afghanistan is a country in South-America and passionately cry “Je suis Charlie” without knowing what they’re supporting 😀 Of course, it’s exactly one of the main reasons why Big Pharma can do all this 😀
