The #1 Vitamin Deficiency Behind Migraines (MUST KNOW)

I have suffered from migraines since puberty. I was prescribed almost every triptan and not one of them helped. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (a brain disorder that presents symptoms as having a brain tumor) last year and was prescribed Diamox. Diamox has the worst side effects I have ever experienced. I couldn't function normally day to day. I lost 2 jobs because of this brain disorder. I started doing research on natural remedies. I came to Dr. Berg's YT channel and saw this video. After watching this video and digging deeper into how IIH affects my cognitive functions, I started taking Vitamin B2 and have been for the past 3 weeks now. All the symptoms I have been experiencing from IIH for over a year have subsided. I no longer have migraines, high brain pressure, spinal pain, or memory issues. Thank you so much Dr. Berg for helping me get back to me! 💙

How come this guy hasn't been nominated for the noble peace prize in medicine?

Dr Berg notes Migraines can cause debilitating pain and hypersensitivity to smells, sounds, and light. They can also cause nausea and increase the impulse to vomit. Migraines can be genetic, but this doesn’t mean you have to live with them. You have to understand the epigenetic factors that can potentially help you override this genetic weakness. There is a connection between under-functioning mitochondria and migraines. This vitamin is involved with an enzyme that helps preserve the aerobic metabolism in your mitochondria. It also helps you build up glutathione. One of the earliest indications of Parkinson’s disease is the failure of the glutathione mechanism. If you don’t have enough glutathione, it can cause serious damage to your neurons. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency is the vitamin deficiency often involved with migraines. If you have a genetic problem in your mitochondria, you may need more vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 helps allow oxygen to work through the mitochondria. Try taking 400 mg of vitamin B2 to help prevent migraines. If you want to know how to get rid of a migraine if you already have one, try taking 100 mg of vitamin B2 every hour until your migraine symptoms are gone—but don't exceed 400 mg per day. Sodium deficiencies can also cause migraines. Consuming more sea salt can help. If vitamin B2 doesn’t provide migraine relief, you can also try ginger or turmeric. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

I have suffered with debilitating migraines since childhood and am now in my 40s. I finally began taking Migrelief which has B2, Magnesium and Feverfew. After 6 weeks of taking this along with fish oil and coq10 my migraines have almost completely diaapeared and the headaches i do get are not near as severe as they would usually be. Make no mistake my migraines were severe and debilitating... this has been a game changing miracle for me. There is also peer reviewed research that shows fish oil and coq10 have had positive impacts for migraine sufferers.

A cured patient is another lost customer

12 years ago I started taking ginger for migraines and it cures 95+% of my migraines. 1/8h of a teaspoon works for me, powdered and in capsules. I have been hospitalized for migraines, paralyzed temporarily, ocular, etc and it works like a charm.

I had throbbing headache on left side for 3 days. With some strength went to local food & health store and got vitamin B2. Took the pills the way it is explained in video. After 4th pill, the pain was gone completely. Thank you so much Dr Berg.

I suffered from regular migraines for the first 25 years of my life. I was told it was genetic. I was given pills. Loads of stuff that didn't work. You know what it turned out to be? Muscles. Yup. The migraines were caused by my habit of sitting for hours everyday. Basically, I had created tension in my shoulders and neck, which made muscle tissue there swell. This inflammation of the muscles put pressure on the nerves in my neck and shoulder, which gave me horrific migraines and regular headaches for the first 2/3 of my life. Yet, it turned out to just be muscles. I switched from sitting at the computer to standing; and I also started practicing certain Qigong routines. No more headaches. The whole experience has shown me that a significant portion of human pain actually comes from physical muscle inflammation. We don't give our muscles enough credit; they play a HUGE role in our physical well-being.

I get about a dozen a year. Always at work. I’m a chef and I can’t think of a worse place to get one then in a busy kitchen. I’ll try this, thank you good doctor

Dumping dairy and adding in magnesium helped reduce mine

My mom had headaches since her childhood, she started massaging her head with warm olive oil twice a week, and also put warm oil in her nose and ears before sleeping, she is free from headaches now and doesn't need to apply oil, she applies once in a while now.

My frequent, almost daily, headaches and debilitating migraines completely went away when I stopped eating carbs.

I definitely will try this. My daily chronic migraines are genetic, hormonal, and atmospheric. Most remedies work for a little bit, but then stop working.

00:00 🧠 Migraines can be genetic, but understanding epigenetics may help mitigate them. 01:22 💊 Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) deficiency is linked to migraines, particularly due to mitochondrial dysfunction. 02:56 💡 Increasing riboflavin intake, up to 400mg per day, may help alleviate migraines, especially in cases of mitochondrial genetic issues. 03:10 🧪 Low glutathione levels due to oxidative stress can contribute to migraines and Parkinson's disease. 04:03 💊 Taking riboflavin (B2), increasing sodium intake, and using herbal antioxidants like ginger or turmeric may help alleviate migra

Fasting has helped me keep insulin at a normal level. I found I used to snack on glutenous foods before bed. I would wake up with awful tunnel vision and migraines. Fresh food and veggies in the diet is a must.

Thank you thank you Dr. Berg. I have suffered from debilitating migraines since 2009 and vestibular migraines since 2021. I've had numerous conversations with my primary and also saw an ent. I have been given prednisone about every two months to control my issues to a point that i could function. I ordered a b2 supplement and I could tell a difference within a few hours of taking it. The pain on the side of my head over my ear was gone. I can not express how much this advice has significantly improved my quality of life.

When I switch to keto diet since 10 months now, strangely my migraine had vanished. You are correct Doctor Berg, it’s all about inflammation 😮 When I had a crisis , I needed to be in the dark and i have à nausée, speach disorders and memory lost. It was horrible. I am very happy now that i adopted ketogenic diet and fasting in my daily routine, I don’t have to worry about this. Thanks for all your life saving médical advices. Love from France 🇫🇷.

My mom used to get migraines one week exactly (7 days) before she got her period . When she went through menopause , the migraines disappeared . When I was in my early 20’s I got them too, every few months . And in winter when we got a Chinook here , I’d get another migraine . Once I passed 25, the migraines went away for good .

I've been a migraine sufferer for decades. The last few years, I would get several per month. But I stopped getting them about 6 months ago and was wondering why. But now I think I know. For the past several months, I've been drinking a cup of fresh ginger/turmeric tea each morning (equal parts of each root). That has to be why I haven't been getting the headaches any more!

I actually take a good pinch of Celtic sea salt with a glass of water whenever I have this. For me, it's more effective than Excedrin.
