Migraine is a genetic neurological disease that there is NO cure for.  However, it can be managed by addressing preventive treatment, trigger management, abortive treatment, and general pain management.\n\nIf you are having a number of Migraines each month you and your doctor can consider using a prescription preventive or a combination of preventatives.  There are hundreds of them and finding the right one is a lot of trial and error.\n\nThere are non-prescription preventatives too.  300mg of Co enzyme Q-10 a day has been shown to a good preventative.  There is also Buttebur, Feverfew, Magnesium and Vitamin B12.  \n\nAvoiding potential Migraine triggers such as MSG, Aspartame, Chocolate, Certain Alcohols, aged cheese, fresh baked breads, etc.  are a good idea.\n\nTreating and aborting a Migraine as early as possible is key.  There are Migraine specific medications that can help.  Triptans, such as Imitrex, Amerge, and Frova and Ergotamines such as Migranal and DHE45 are some of them.  They come in a variety of delivery systems; tablets that you swallow, or a pill that dissolves under your tongue, nasal sprays or self-injections.\n\nThere is also one over-the-counter medicine that has been proven effective for treating a Migraine.  It's called "GelStat" and it is a liquid that you squirt under your tounge.  It contains feverfew to help relieve the pain and ginger to help with nausea.\n\nIf the pain of a Migraine cannot be controlled through the previous methods then analgesic both narcotic and non narcotic may be needed.  Some of these medications are Acetameniphin, Midrin, Fiorcet, Hydrocodone, NSAID's, and Demerol.

I don't know if there is a cure, but some things that might help would be to improve circulation. Use a pumice stone to exfoliate, massage legs, make a tea out of rosemary, fresh ginger, cayenne, ginko- mix about a 1/4 cup of any one or more with 3or 4 green or black tea bags to make a 1/2 gal. Do these all once or twice a day. \n\nOnly a suggestion- I am not a Dr.

I have had luck treating my IBS and a friend that has Chrons tried the same approach and has been feeling much better. Diagnosing auto immune disorders can be difficult.

Yes, it's an old cure, but true. Use prune juice and apple juice. Avoid feeding him cheese and milk for a couple of days. Raise his intake of fiber by adding more raisins, carrots and greens, and whole grain bread. Also a small amount of caffine, such as found in green tea will help!

Tourettes is neurobiological.  You cannot change behavior that you cannot control. Tics and vocal tremrs can sometimes be supressed, but at some point they must be performed.  Kind of like a sneeze.  You can try not to, but at some point, it will happen. \n\nNot sure of any natural remedies.  Still researching, but I don't think there is a way to cure a defective genetic condition.

I had a coworker who had this.  There are medications for it, although I can't remember if the medications are a "cure" for it.  An alternative, sometimes last resort, is surgical removal of the spleen.  And I think the correct spelling is immunothrombocytopenic purpura.  If you type that into your Yahoo! search, you should be able to find many sites that will give you more information of what it is exactly and the treatment options.\n\nHope that helps.

I am not a doctor but I do read and do self study. I am glad to see that you are looking at natural means to help CURE your condition and not just blindly following the advice of "the chemical" medication doctors. First, let me say that you can cure your conditions all together, even though I know that you have been told otherwise. Buy a book called, "The Cure For All Diseases," by Dr. Hulda R. Clark, Ph.D., N.D. (See the links below.) And, get yourself a Zapper or a Parazapper that Dr. Clark invented, and use it on a regular basis !!! There are only two causes of diseases, Toxins and Parasites, and you can learn what is causing your conditions and kill off the parasites and learn to avoid (and cleanse out of you, also) the toxins. I also, regularly use an herbal product called Swedish Bitters, which has been around for at least 400 years or more. It is simply a combination of different herbs and is very bitter, but very effective as well. It can be used on the eyes (with clean cotton balls) and it helps to kill off parasites that can cause us to get sick as well. (Dr. Clark recommends others in her books, but she acknowledges that there are possibly many different herbs and combinations thereof that can help to remove toxins and parasites from the body.) Godspeed to you in finding out what is causing, and curing, your conditions.

As you state, there is no cure for migraines currently. Migraine is an inherited disease of the brain that has to do with a neurotransmitter called serotonin. At least 70% of migraine sufferers have a family member with migraine. Although medication is the mainstay of treatment, there are many methods of reducing the number of headaches you experience. Some simple ones include limiting your caffeine intake to one cup per day or eliminating it all together. If you do drink caffeine then you should not miss a day due to the potential of withdrawal headache. Regular exercise can prevent headaches. Get regular sleep. Wake up at the same time everyday, even on weekends. Too little or too much sleep is a common headache trigger. Go to the National Headache Foundation website for a list of food triggers. Identifying triggers will require completing a headache diary for several weeks to several months. There are vitamins, which have been proven to reduce headaches. Magnesium 400mg and riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 400mg have both been shown to reduce headaches. It may take up to 3 months to see the full effect. The only downside is the number of pills and the cost. To alleviate this problem for my patients, I worked with a vitamin manufacturer to develop a multivitamin with the above doses of vitamins plus all the vitamins in a regular daily multivitamin. Due to interest outside my practice we have made it available over the internet.\nWe also recommend a trial of physical therapy, which has been very effective. Behavioral therapy is also important since the number one trigger of migraine is stress.\nDon't give up. Remember migraine is a disease just like diabetes is. Diabetic don't make enough insulin, you don't make enough serotonin.\n\nGary A.

How is restless legs syndrome treated?\n\n\n\nAlthough movement brings relief to those with RLS, it is generally only temporary. However, RLS can be controlled by finding any possible underlying disorder. Often, treating the associated medical condition, such as peripheral neuropathy or diabetes, will alleviate many symptoms. For patients with idiopathic RLS, treatment is directed toward relieving symptoms. \n\nFor those with mild to moderate symptoms, prevention is key, and many physicians suggest certain lifestyle changes and activities to reduce or eliminate symptoms. Decreased use of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco may provide some relief. Physicians may suggest that certain individuals take supplements to correct deficiencies in iron, folate, and magnesium. Studies also have shown that maintaining a regular sleep pattern can reduce symptoms. Some individuals, finding that RLS symptoms are minimized in the early morning, change their sleep patterns. Others have found that a program of regular moderate exercise helps them sleep better; on the other hand, excessive exercise has been reported by some patients to aggravate RLS symptoms. Taking a hot bath, massaging the legs, or using a heating pad or ice pack can help relieve symptoms in some patients. Although many patients find some relief with such measures, rarely do these efforts completely eliminate symptoms \n\nPhysicians also may suggest a variety of medications to treat RLS. Generally, physicians choose from dopaminergics, benzodiazepines (central nervous system depressants), opioids, and anticonvulsants. Dopaminergic agents, largely used to treat Parkinson's disease, have been shown to reduce RLS symptoms and PLMD and are considered the initial treatment of choice. Good short-term results of treatment with levodopa plus carbidopa have been reported, although most patients eventually will develop augmentation, meaning that symptoms are reduced at night but begin to develop earlier in the day than usual. Dopamine agonists such as pergolide mesylate, pramipexole, and ropinirole hydrochloride may be effective in some patients and are less likely to cause augmentation. \n\nIn 2005, ropinirole became the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration specifically for the treatment of moderate to severe RLS. The drug was first approved in 1997 for patients with Parkinson’s disease. \n\nBenzodiazepines (such as clonazepam and diazepam) may be prescribed for patients who have mild or intermittent symptoms. These drugs help patients obtain a more restful sleep but they do not fully alleviate RLS symptoms and can cause daytime sleepiness. Because these depressants also may induce or aggravate sleep apnea in some cases, they should not be used in people with this condition. \n\nFor more severe symptoms, opioids such as codeine, propoxyphene, or oxycodone may be prescribed for their ability to induce relaxation and diminish pain. Side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and the risk of addiction. \n\nAnticonvulsants such as carbamazepine and gabapentin are also useful for some patients, as they decrease the sensory disturbances (creeping and crawling sensations). Dizziness, fatigue, and sleepiness are among the possible side effects. \n\nUnfortunately, no one drug is effective for everyone with RLS. What may be helpful to one individual may actually worsen symptoms for another. In addition, medications taken regularly may lose their effect, making it necessary to change medications periodically.
