Press Release:
I just wrote a post on a letter that I emailed to the National Pain Report that I KNOW will never be seeing daylight because.. well.. what would there be to report if say migraines no longer hurt?
Well you see migraines need not hurt if doctors were not getting tricked by (or paid by) pharmaceuticals and if only they listened to what the patients are telling them. They not only aren’t listening, they are not even asking questions! And forget about reading up on recent science!
So here is the link to my article that contains my letter! Enjoy reading because this is the only person you will hear the truth: from me, whichever of my 3 blogs I write on and you read!
Enjoy the letter and enjoy being pain-free if you are a migraineur by following the links in that article to my book and to my migraine group where thousands are already pain-free and stopped all their medications! Yep! Migraine AND drug free! Nope, no supplements or herbs either!!! Nothing! Your knowing what migraine is can change your life! Enjoy!
Comments are welcome as always!

About Angela A Stanton, Ph.D.
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.

Clueless Doctors & Scientists 
Salt is necessary for bodily functions. Food today adds alot of salt especially with the processed crap we eat. Sodium intake needs to increase with the heat and outdoor activity along with H20 to keep from going down in heat stroke flames.
I used to be a plumber and many many days I had to reach for buffered salt tabs to keep from puking.

Brett, food today doesn’t add a lot of salt. Have you looked at process food labels? Salt is more often than not replaced by dextrose (glucose). In your body there is about 0.5 to 1.5 lbs salt all the time. There is not a cell in your body that can function without salt or with reduced salt. The recommended sodium intake by the USDA of 2300 mg sodium a day is unhealthy low. lately several research papers were published showing that the ideal sodium for good health is between 4,000 and 6,000 mg sodium a day. Studies also show that 1,200 mg sodium a day or less actually increases the risk of a cardiovascular “event” exponentially, yet the USDA’s recommendation for the elderly is <1.500 mg sodium. Here is one research paper and here is another. This second link made the headlines in the Daily Mail so while the article is not open access, you can read the heart of it.
There are many more articles out there about how much an increase in sodium is beneficial, and in some cases–as in migraine sufferers, for example–it is essential. Here is an article showing that there is an inverse relationship between migraines and sodium intake; the more sodium, the fewer migraines.
So in sum: we could all benefit from an increase in our salt intake. And before you say “but salt increases blood pressure”… not true.

From the National Pain Report, June 14, 2015:
>>>>> Editor’s Note: June is Migraine Awareness Month. We are interested (and not just this month) is stories from people who suffer from migraines, their family members or people who treat them. If you have an idea or a personal story, let us know by emailing us Editor@nationalpainreport.com <<<<>>>> The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a drug for migraines in teenagers. The FDA approved – combination of sumatriptan and naproxen sodium -… <<<<>>>> One of the leading migraine experts in the U.S. is Dr. Andrew Charles of UCLA says: “NSAIDS are just one of the tools in our current kit for acute headache therapy,” he added, “but we remain in desperate need of more effective and better tolerated tools.” <<<<<
Um…..time to send this expert your article? Oh, and that Editor too, eh?

But I like your links.. lol… yep.. actually I should write to the FDA who approves brain modifying drugs to teenagers whose brains are not yet grown and developed. We are creating a generation of brain damaged people.. well.. on the other hand good for big pharma.. they will only be out of money on the migraine front.. they will still have to deal with all those people they mess up today so their pockets will continue to be full of money. I really should call it brain-money… though really it is blood money. And you are right. People who “should” understand what I write do not. However, we are winning! I have 1600+ people in my migraine group (there would be over 2000 but I have rules of being active and answering questions.. so I kick many out. But those who stay are migraine free. Is is an international group. I walked one member from Aussie Land down under through 2 hours of recovery from the worst possible migraine: hemiplegic! One side of the body goes paralyzed… she recovered fully in 2 hours: paralysis gone, eye sight returned… she went to her doc after and amazingly the doc prescribed to her my treatment.. lol… I suppose down under are the good docs! The ones up here understand little and cannot even read the medical manual! Hope you are well. Sorry for my MIA in the groups.. just no time these days! ❤

Couple of months ago I told a doctor about your take on salt and that consuming salt (with enough H2O intake) would not increase BP and a healthy thing to do. He looked at me with a rather condescending smile and said: “Fairy tales. If you have high BP you must lower your salt intake, and, even better, eliminate it from your diet altogether.” I countered with: “How do you know that?” He looked at me as if I had asked him the most stupid question ever, and replied: “They have told me so.” I couldn’t stop laughing.
