Elaine: Twenty-Five Years of Migraines, Finally Free

 

Elaine Agnew had suffered from migraines for twenty-five years.

She had been to doctors. She had been to neurologists. They all recommended preventative drugs.

"I tried amitriptyline, Depakote, Topamax, to name a few," Elaine said. "None of them cut my migraines or prevented them. I kept with those medicines for years, though, in hopes that one day they would start working."

She also took Imitrex when she got a migraine. It would relieve the pain for at least six hours. But then the migraine would come back.

The Turning Point

Elaine finally decided to stop taking medicine when her neurologist recommended a stronger dose of Depakote.

She started eating whole, unprocessed food. She cut out gluten and sugar. That helped her get off all her preventative migraine medicines.

The migraines changed. She used to get them every two weeks for three days straight. After eating healthy, she would get one every four or five weeks for one day.

Then she ran out of her Imitrex prescription. She decided she was not going to take it again.

She had thought about acupuncture for months. She decided to give it a try.

The Treatment

Elaine came to see Dr. Zhai.

"Dr. Zhai told me on my first visit that I had poor circulation," Elaine said.

Dr. Zhai suggested she eat warm foods instead of the salads and smoothies she was eating. She also gave her Body Clean powder to try.

"I took her advice and started taking the powder and eating warm foods," Elaine said.

The Outcome

"Since seeing Dr. Zhai, I now have more energy," Elaine said. "I am not cold all the time. I have not had a migraine since treatment. I used to have stomach cramping every afternoon; I no longer get that. My body also feels stronger."

Dr. Zhai also suggested that she eat a protein, fat, and carb with every meal. Elaine admits she tends to forget sometimes. But she is making a more conscious effort to have balanced meals.

What Elaine's Story Shows

Elaine suffered from migraines for twenty-five years. She tried every medication her doctors recommended. They did not work. She took Imitrex for the pain. It helped for a few hours. Then the migraine came back.

She finally stopped the medications. She changed her diet. It helped, but it did not heal her.

Then she found Dr. Zhai. She was told she had poor circulation. She was told to eat warm foods. She was given Body Clean.

And her migraines stopped. Her energy returned. Her stomach cramping disappeared. Her body feels stronger.

This is not a one-time result. This is the same protocol Dr. Na uses for patients with migraines, circulation problems, and chronic pain. Because the treatment follows a pattern, it can be taught. Because it can be taught, it can be passed on.

This is the system Dr. Na built. This is what she offers.

And it began with a patient who had tried everything—and who finally found relief.
