  • Migraine pain transmitters are mutant genes that turn on the pain receptors that evolved to be activated only with concussions.
  • If you do not have a migraine gene, a sleep disorder will not cause headache pain.
  • "Most patients with daily headache have a primary sleep disorder, either sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome or periodic limb movements of sleep.” Page 35
  • 'Most patients have vitamin D deficiency with or without accompanying B12 deficiency.

Measure D 25OH, B12, iron, and replace all that are low (page 35)

  • Vitamin D 70- -85 nanograms/ ml.
  • B12 > 500/ml.“

Any migraine theory has to explain (page 37)

  • Why do migraines start at puberty?
  • Why do they start in boys and girls around the same age but get much better in boys?
  • Why are they worse around the menses?
  • Why are they much worse perimenopausal?
  • Why do they go away after menopause?
