This was helpful as I try to get to the bottom of my own migraines. I was already doing a diet like this but now I have more information about why it may work. The theory about an overly burdened and stressed hypothalamus being the source of migraine makes sense. I think, though, there should be more acknowledgement of emotional and psychological factors, not only the physical, material aspect. For me, diet alone has not been enough to eliminate my migraines, nor is it enough to say to "reduce stress." When stress is a result of longtime, unconscious patterns resulting from past trauma, it is not easy to undo it. But I can see now how necessary it is, in order to restore health and take the pressure off of my poor, hardworking hypothalamus, so I have renewed motivation to keep trying. The quest will continue!
