Headaches?

If you have a sinus headache,try an enema! Enemas in the 1950's were half of the doctor's remedies. The other half were aspirin. This morning I took my regular enema and spent the next half hour blowing my nose. I got two for one! I cleared my gas and constipation while I cleared my head ache. The best part of all, is that I didn't need an MD to tell me about it.

I guess I have tight drainage channels in my head, but the tissue swelling from

absorbing water can get me seriously blocked up, sinus-wise. I have to be

careful of the amount of water I absorb, and then I will be just fine.

(I am on some long-term prescription medecine for sinus trouble, but

it is WAYYY better than 15 years ago or so.)

@ Jmelson Add sea or kosher salt to your enemas to stop the headaches 1 Teaspoon per QT will do

This might also be part of a releasing of serotonin from the large bowel. It enters the bloodstream, traveling to the brain and eliminating a migraine.

I used to sell a product that was an injectable specifically for migraines. It could stop a migraine in 15 min. We had several chemical products that were designated 5HT3, 5HT4 and 5HT5. All were different versions of serotonin and some would work on nausea, depression, or migraines. The stimulation of the bowel via enema could release any of these versions of serotonin and stop headaches.

This will NOT work on the majority of headaches, which are tension headaches. They only work on true migraines. If enemas give you headache relief, see your doctor about taking tablets or injections, or continue with your enemas. True migraines involve visual disturbances, auras and color intensities, and often, nausea.

Tension headaches can be worse than migraines and generally involve neck muscles. Neurologists treat these with narcotic injections, Compazine and even direct injections of lidocaine and steroids right into the neck muscles. So, if enemas give you headache relief, you are probably having true migraines. (Or they give a placebo effect)

Were these chemical products designated 5HT3, 5HT4 and 5HT5 ‘versions of serotonin’ or were they blockers for the 5HT3, 5HT4 and 5HT5 serotonin receptors?

They were designated as different versions of serotonin, starting with the "5 Hydroxy-tryptophan."

The science folks had isolated many types of serotonin and these 3 relieved depression, nausea or migraines. We launched 3 different products off these alone. The science dept. told us they had isolated about 100 chemicals and had no idea what they did, but with time and research each one would yield new discoveries. They were so excited that they predicted that at some point in the future, all bi-polar and schizophrenic patients would be out of institutions, living normal lives.

However, if the enema itself CAUSES the headache, that's a sign you overdid it and need to slow down!!

@jimmyt44: This is most strange. Wherever I look for information on serotonin, I find no mention of more than one substance, with one formula. Are you positive you understood correctly what your science department was telling you? I don’t question that they had isolated 100 substances, but that these substances were ‘types of serotonin’ is something I can’t reconcile with what I read elsewhere about serotonin.

Oneeyes, you are very "up" on brain biochemistry. Your thoughts on serotonin blockers may be correct. I do distinctly remember our scientists saying that there were many types of serotonin, not just one. Of the 100 chemicals that they had isolated, only a handful were serotonin, but apparently these 5HT's can cause many different kinds of reactions in the brain and body.

I find an ibuprofin suppository works wonders. I have found them in the aspirin aisle next to the chilkdrens suppos. They are 325 mg and work faster and better than taking aspirin.
