Life Improvements - Part Two - Migraines
Mr. JM here again.
Migraines are a bitch. I know this because I’ve seen people with them and felt for them as they’ve suffered. My mother had them, pretty often. Years after I left home, I heard of a tonic & when she tried it, the migraines went away.
Here it is for anyone interested.
1/4 teaspoon Magnesium Carbonate
1 Tablespoon Calcium Gluconate
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
Mix all to a paste.
Add 1/2 cup of boiling water & stir well.
(If mix is correct, liquid will go clear. If slightly off in mix, let sit for a while till all sediment sinks, then pour off liquid into another cup.)
Add cold water till it is drinkable temperature.
Once a day for a week or so, then just a few times a month is fine.
Note. It is likely for the 1st day or 2 that there will be ‘the runs.’ This is normal and it stops once the body adjusts.
My mother stopped after a few months and it was nearly three years before she had another migraine.
The Calcium Gluconate can be hard to source – strangely back in the 80’s it was easy – the local pharmacist had it. Now apparently most stuff comes to them prepacked so they don’t have the same kind of stocks. But look around, it is possible to get it.
A lesser level of relief is something I found for JM called Caltrate Plus – a commercial Calcium supplement formula it has the magnesium content as well. They aren’t in the right proportions nor ‘balanced’ by the cider vinegar but they relieve her headaches.

Thanks for the tonic, Mr. JM. I’ll pass it along to a friend of mine who suffers from migraines. Hope the Mrs. feels better soon.
