Simple Natural Migraine Remedy Using REAL FOOD
This story is reprinted with permission from the Waldo Way Dairy Farm.
Over a year ago a young woman came to the farm. She was emaciated, had a difficult time walking and could not speak. Driven to the farm by her mother, husband or sister, each week she would purchase six gallons of our Guernsey Gold milk.
After a few months, I noticed that she was walking better and we would have a very brief conversation and then she would leave with her six gallons of milk. I was happy that she seemed to be better but curious as to what was her “story”.
A few more months passed by and I saw a very different woman than the one who entered my store in the beginning. I had to asked the question, I had to know. During one of her weekly visits for her six gallons of milk, I asked, “You are a different person than when you first came to our farm, what is your story?”
Here's what I found out:
Kristen had a head injury in 2000. Afterward, she began suffering from migraine headaches. They became so unbearable and persistent that she had to leave her teaching profession. For six years she was bed-ridden and had virtually little, if any, quality of life. She was literally on every medication known for migraines such as oxycontin and morphine. Some medications that she had taken were causing early Parkinson-like symptoms to develop, namely muscle weakness, tremors, and difficulty with speech. She vomited everyday leaving her weak and severely underweight.
Kristen tried all types of diets to help ease her pain including vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and she had a neuro-stimulator placed in her brain for pain control. She tried acupuncture, chiropractors, essential oils, oxygen therapy, magnesium drips, vitamin C drips, and none of these helped relieve the unbearable relentless pain that she endured everyday. Kristen would virtually lay in ice packs, in a dark room wearing sunglasses, but yet none of these therapies gave her notable relief.
When she was admitted last summer to Southwestern her blood pressure was out of control because of her pain level and the neurologist said it was the worst case of migraine headaches they had ever seen. All resources had been exhausted.
Well, perhaps not all of them.
It was during this hospital stay when her husband, Mark, discovered some valuable information: Dr. Angelia Stanton, a neuroscientist, and her migraine protocol.While she was in the hospital, Mark began this protocol for Kristen. The essence of Dr. Stanton's protocol is to increase dietary “good” fats and balance electrolytes. Her protocol for Kristen was to drink one gallon of milk each day. Yes, one gallon of milk each day and that Kristen did. Mark knew about The Waldo Way and this is when our farm became part of her story.
Almost a year has passed and Kristen has regained a quality of life that she so deserves, she does not wake every morning vomiting, she can walk, she can talk, she has little pain these days and she has a testimony of what how the Guernsey raw milk can help her. Guernsey raw milk has the perfect sodium/potassium balance, the electrolytes, and healing saturated fats that are needed for her to remain migraine free.
Her quality of life is such that she can hold down a job these days. We are thrilled to introduce Kristen to you for she has joined The Waldo Way Dairy Farm Staff. We cannot express how grateful we are for her restored health and for being a part of our farm family. When you come to visit, please do welcome her.
We are hopeful that her testimony can bring insight for others and perhaps give relief to those who may be suffering with migraine headaches. Kristen had an incredible journey with pain, has an amazing testimony of healing, and yearns to share her story with those who are in need of help. In addition, her father is a veterinarian and she worked in his practice for years. Having said this, she has a great working knowledge and love for animals, which is a good fit for working with our Guernsey Gold Girls.
Miracles do happen; Kristen had one.

As always, abundant blessings, Ris~
Post Script: If interested Dr. Stanton's FB site is, “Migraine Sufferers Who Want to be cured”. Kristen no longer needs medications for migraines and is making plans to have the neuro-stimulator removed this summer.
Post Post Script: A few months ago Kristen's twin sister, Erica came to the farm and she said to me, “Ris, thank you for your farm and for being here”. And I replied, “Oh, you are welcome”. Erica then said, “Ris, I really mean it, you gave my sister back to me”. Once again, I was reminded and thankful for my humble missionary farm work.
Thank you Waldo Way Dairy Farm and all farmers out there who are making such a difference for our health!
