I'm Dr. Walter K. Crooks and I hope you are ready for what I am about to tell you....
Your Migraine Headache is NOT normal! They're a sign that something is wrong.
Your body is designed to be free of pain. Feeling good is the normal state. Feeling throbbing, pounding pain in your skull that won’t go away is not normal. Neither is the nauseous feelings that come whenever you go out on a sunny day or see a bright light, lying awake at night praying your headaches will disappear, feeling and looking miserable, irritable, and older than you really are, and the frustration of knowing that your friends and family just don't understand what you are going through.
And thanks to those clever headache pain relief commercials, there are medicine cabinets, purses, and glove compartments all over the country that are fully stocked with medication for the "normal" headache.
So, if you are one of the millions of Americans who suffer from annoying, pestering, mind-numbing headache pain, then please keep reading, because as you are about to discover how to find the cause and eliminate your migraines!
When I discovered that 30% of women suffer from migraine during their lifetimes and that the World Health Organization ranked migraine headaches as the 19th top cause of disability world wide, I nearly fell out of my chair!
I couldn't believe that so many Americans suffer day in and day out... I've spent years helping patients, who suffer from headache conditions, discover the truth about their problem and also ELIMINATE their MIGRAINE symptoms quickly, easily, and naturally without any drugs or surgery!
I am sure that you have been told more than once that your migraine is caused by the blood vessels in your brain vasodialating (getting bigger) and vasoconstricting (getting smaller) and that this drug or that drug will conteract that. Well that may be one reason for your migraine headache, although the newest research out has cast a shadow on this hypothesis. The problem with medicine, in my opinion, is that it takes a diagnosis and puts treatment guidlines for the diagnosis.
This does not take into account that human beings are very complex and a dynamic creature that have complex and dynamic health conditions that are uniquely individualized for that person. Yes, two people may have the same sort of symptoms that may respond to some medicine. However, that is not the case with most people stricken with Migraine and Chronic Headaches.
So what is it that I do that gets results like this with these types of conditions? It's my treatment philosophy: treat the person, not their diagnosis. Now what do I mean by that? Well, because a diagnosis is just a starting point, and on top of that, thousands of people are wrongly diagnosed every day from everything from migraine headaches to cancer.
So we don’t wanna get caught up in what you could call a “traditional” diagnosis because it’s pretty generic actually. It doesn’t really give you any information on what you’re gonna do to treat it. So like if a doctor says, “Okay you have migraine headaches” Now what? There are literally hundreds of reasons why you can have those symptoms. It’s not the same for every person. It’s not like a cold that you catch and you take an antibiotic for it and everything goes away. It’s different than that. So what we want to do is be very specific because saying you have “Migraine Headaches” is generic. It doesn’t give us information about what we’re going to do to change it. To make it better. To get rid of it.
So in my office what I look at is a functional diagnosis; meaning let’s look at the regions of the brain that may not be working optimally. Let’s also look at other systems of your body that may not be working optimally and are causing these horrible symptoms.
I look at you both neurologically and metabolically to determine what the cause of your migraines are. To do this I use SPECIFIC neurological and metabolic testing. Some of the metabolic tests I may run are:
I. Complete Blood Panels
By using specific blood tests such as:
A thyroid panel
A complete metabolic panel (CMP)
A lipid panel
A CBC (complete blood chemistry with auto differential)
We can assess your thyroid, adrenal glands, liver, kidneys, red/white blood cells and gut function with the above lab tests. All can be affected with chronic health conditions. By addressing any problems with your thyroid, adrenal glands, blood chemistry or gut function, we can help you to heal faster. We use this to check and see if you are ANEMIC. What anemia means is that you are basically not getting the oxygen to your cells that they need. If your brain and nervous system don't get the fuel, in this case Oxygen, that it needs then the result is death and dysfunction of these systems.
The expanded and complete blood chemistry panel I order for my patients also allows us to check your blood glucose levels. Since glucose, along with oxygen, is needed by the brain to function properly we must assess this. Optimal fasting Blood Glucose ranges from 85-99. If you are below 85 then your cells don't have enough fuel to survive and thrive. If you are above 99 there is excess sugar in your system and sugar is highly inflammatory to nerves and in high amounts causes nerve cells (BRAIN) to die. If you fluctuate between high and low; blood sugar levels going back and forth like that causes nerve cells (BRAIN) to become unstable and to begin to DIE!
I also do an Adrenal Stress Index to assess the health of your adrenal glands. These glands play an important role in Blood Sugar Regulation, and as I have already pointed out blood sugar stability is of the utmost importance.
I have tests run that assess if you may be having an inflammatory immune system reaction to certain food proteins. If a person does have a reaction to a certain protein, what happens is that when that food is ingested the immune system thinks it is an invader and mounts an attack. It produces antibodies to that food protein and the fight begins. However, whenever the body mounts an attack with the immune system you always have INFLAMMATION in the entire system. If this goes on long enough the bodies immune system will begin to attack itself and cause disorders such as.....MIGRAINE and CHRONIC HEADACHES!
Along this line we test to see if you have what is known as "Leaky Gut Syndrome". If you do, then things that are not supposed to be in the blood stream do, in fact, get into the blood steam because the gut lining has become "leaky" and lets in things that don't belong. When this happens, the bodies response is to launch an immune system reaction because there is a foreign invader in the body that must be dealt with, and what goes along with this............? INFLAMMATION!
I may do a 28 day hormone panel to assess your hormones as fully as possible. Checking your hormones is HUGE when it comes to treating migraines as many patients (especially women) notice the onset of migraines at the onset of puberty when their hormonal levels were changing.
That is just some of the metabolic tests that we may run. It is individualized and we determine what needs to be ran as we progress.
As for the neurological component. I do a complete and thorough neurological exam on you. I will guarantee that you have never had an exam like this before.
With the results of the above tests, I can formulate a plan of attack to finally get control of your migraines and if my recommendations are followed as prescribed, you could very well be all but rid of those life stopping Migraine Headaches once and for all.
