Manganese orotate against migraine
I
stumbled
across
what
seems to be a panacea against migraine: manganese
orotate.
It
is
considered
to
be a simple food supplement so it is not subject to
prescription. However do
consult your doctor. Manganese is toxic
in high quantities. You
will
probably
have
to ask your pharmacist to manufacture capsules,
because tablets are not yet commercially available.
A
friend
who
is
a pharmacist has suggested to clients to give it a try.
They were buying "heavy" drugs against migraine. He
says
that
75%
of these persons, who now take manganese orotate every
day, do no more need drugs. In
15%
of
the
cases, manganese orotate brought a significant relief but
the person still needs some pain medication. In
the remaining 10% of cases, there was no effect.
He
found
out
that
there is a huge difference between manganese orotate and
heavy medications. First of all: it does not
loose its effect overtime; it goes on protecting the
person
even
after
two years. Heavy medications often
lose their effectiveness and must be changed. The
other
big
advantage
is that there are no side effects (if the person is
taking the appropriate dose). It
would
even
be
the opposite: the persons feel better, sleep better ...
Most
people
take
4
mg per day, in the morning or noon. Some people
should not exceed 2 mg per day. He
knows
two
persons
who must not exceed 1 mg per day. It
is
better
to
avoid starting with 4 mg per day, because if it is not the
appropriate dose, there is a side effect: an unpleasant form of
nervousness. Another
reason
to
increase
the dose gradually, until you find the right
balance, is that in a few cases manganese orotate started by
*triggering* a migraine. People
who
have
had
this problem but have continued to take manganese orotate,
had no more migraine afterwards. Protection
against
migraine
is
established in a few days time. It
is
better
to
start with 1 mg the first few days. Then try 2 mg a day... Up
to
a
maximum
of 4 mg per day, but stop increasing the dose as soon as
you feel a problem, like nervousness. You must
stabilize
at
a
dose that has no downside. Continue
with
this
daily
dose for a few weeks and see if it has, or not, an
effect on the migraines. In
general,
people
prefer
not to take it in the evening because it wakes
them up. But
some
people
sleep
better if they take it during the evening...
My
pharmacist
friend
has
of course never told any of these persons to stop
their medications. It would have
been a serious breach of ethics. But the majority of
them have stopped by themselves. And
some
of
them
now show an anxiety at the idea of being short of
manganese orotate.
When the intake of manganese orotate is stopped, the protection against
migraine will continue for about a week.
It
all
started
with
a friend who has very strong migraines, which each
time incapacitated him for a week. Only
the
heaviest
drugs
helped but their side effects are such that he was
reluctant to take them. It
was
through
him
that I realized that it works. I gave
him some, one day that a migraine was starting. The migraine simply like
melted away... He was stunned by
the strength of the effect. He
immediately
started
taking
it regularly and helped evaluate the correct
daily dose. He still can have "a
headache"
or
even
a "light" migraine but nothing comparable to the
extreme pain he experienced before. The
dose
that
I
gave him that day was greater than 4 mg, which was a bit
irresponsible. I
do
not
know
if this can be a shock treatment against a migraine in
progress. This must
first be studied scientifically. If it is taken only once, a
dose of 10 mg or 40 mg is not supposed to be dangerous. But
this
can
only
be done under medical supervision, because it is a toxic
dose.
I
do
not
know
why it is imperative that the *orotate* salt of Manganese
be used... Other
salts
of
manganese,
such as gluconate or sulfate, seem ineffective. In
theory,
manganese
orotate
can be more directly assimilated in the
mitochondria...
Manganese orotate is also effective against my toothache. It can help
ease anxiety or loose weight... There seem to be many cases where it
might be
of use. I got interested in manganese because of a correspondent who
has Asperger syndrome like me. His physician had extensively studied
his problems and came up with a prescription of omega-3 oil and
manganese. This was very successful. So I tried it out too. But the
first sources of manganese I took had no significant effect. I asked my
pharmacist to order a whole can of pure organic manganese salt for me.
He ordered several different ones, to allow me to choose. I picked out
manganese orotate... and the result when I tried it out was astounding.
