Q. Will this program work for me if I have hormonal
or weather-induced migraines?
|
A. Very likely.
Migraines are caused by acute serotonin depletion. Serotonin depletion is caused by a variety of sources, including foods,
environmental triggers, stress, hormonal imbalances, and many others. When an individual has low serotonin to begin with,
they are often able to live without pain but often have other symptoms of low serotonin such as difficulty sleeping and depression.
When a trigger is introduced (hormone, weather change, sensitivity to food), the serotonin levels dip even lower, resulting
in a loss of vasomotor control and triggering a migraine. Because this program helps the body to produce its own serotonin
in adequate and consistent amounts, there should be enough serotonin available when a trigger is introduced. When the body/brain
has enough available serotonin, persons are less susceptible to all triggers. |
Q. I have heard that serotonin does not cross the blood-brain barrier, so how will it help
for my body to produce more serotonin if it does not get to my brain to be used? |
A. That is true. Serotonin
molecules are too large, but the precursors (ingredients in Seratonin TM ) are small enough and can easily cross
through the blood/brain barrier with the proper transportation assistance. Seratonin TM contains 5-HTP, a precursor
that is needed by your body to manufacture serotonin. As a
side note, about 90% of serotonin is found in your digestive system. When you have digestive problems, like most migraine
sufferers, essential nutrients to produce serotonin are diverted to your digestive system, thus further depriving your brain
of serotonin. |
Q. What is the nutritional protocol involved in this program? Why should it work for me? |
A. Many migraine sufferers have tried avoiding
trigger foods, often with little success. Most become frustrated and convinced that they do not have any food triggers. This
program is different for a few reasons. To begin, we ask that participants avoid all listed potential food triggers while
starting supplements and detoxification. As migraines become less frequent, one new food is introduced every 3-4 days while
tracking this progress in a food journal. This process is crucial as a trigger can cause serotonin depletion as far after
ingesting/exposure as 72 hours. This program is also different in that most patients see a significant
reduction or elimination in migraines during the first month or two. When participants become migraine free before adding
foods back, it is much easier to target which specific foods that person is sensitive to. Every person is sensitive to a different
combination of foods, so finding and eliminating only the necessary ones can allow them to enjoy not only a migraine-free
life, but freedom to make a wider variety of food choices without the fear of headaches. Lastly, this program provides unlimited
support and coaching for anyone involved in the program. Educated and certified coaches are available to help with any nutritional
or other questions. |
Q. How does this program work? |
A. This program works in three different
ways. First, participants take a supplement, Seratonin TM , which has been shown to increase the body's production
of available serotonin. Second, participants are asked to avoid all potential food triggers until migraines are eliminated.
This is to avoid serotonin depletion from food sources. Third, participants take a detoxification formula, Nano Tek Chitosan.
This detoxification is mild and does not usually cause cramping, bloating, or diarrhea. Bowel detoxification is important
as 90% of serotonin is produced in the intestinal tract. When the intestinal tract is clogged or chemically toxic, serotonin
will be depleted creating a serotonin deficient condition. |
Q. Is Seratonin TM patented? |
A. Dynamic Health Resources holds a U.S. patent for Seratonin
TM , which is specifically patented for preventing migraines. |
Q. Does this have to be prescribed by my physician? |
A. No, although we have physicians that do work with the program
and regularly refer patients, it is not essential that you come to the program through your physician. |
Q. Can I take Seratonin TM while taking other medications to prevent migraines? |
A. Yes. Many of our participants start the program while still
taking medications to prevent migraines. Participants often find that they feel less depressed, sleep more soundly, and have
decreased or eliminated migraine pain. Many of them, under the guidance of a physician, are able to taper off medications
and only take Seratonin TM for migraine prevention. Every individual is different, and we do not encourage participants
to ever decrease medications without first consulting the treating physician. |
|
Q. What are the side effects of Seratonin TM ?
|
A. A small number
of participants may experience mild nausea while beginning the program. This feeling usually subsides after a few weeks and
is also decreased greatly when taking the supplement with food. When compared to the potential, and long-term, ongoing side
effects of many prescription migraine medications, temporary, mild nausea has been reported by most participants as insignificant
given the added benefit of migraine elimination. |
|
Q. Can this product be taken during pregnancy?
|
A. Although this product has been taken during pregnancy and nursing with no known adverse effects,
it is important to consult the advice of one's physician before taking any supplementation during pregnancy. Studies have
not been conducted on the specific use of this product during pregnancy. |
|
Q. Has this product ever been formally studied?
|
A. This program has been in existence for more than eight years
and has seen tremendous success in the prevention of migraines and other serotonin-deficient conditions. One research study,
conducted by Eastern Virginia Medical School, found favorable results and suggested further, larger studies. |
