(NaturalHealth365) Migraine headaches are a fairly common and debilitating type of headache that costs the U.S. healthcare system an enormous amount of money, every year.  But, the greater tragedy is how the public has been kept in the dark about the effectiveness of a simple remedy, vitamin B2.

This is a serious health problem: approximately 10% of the world’s population are affected by migraines, although closer to 12% of people in the United States deal with these severe headaches.  Migraines are characterized by severe head pain, usually on one side of the head, and are often accompanied by vomiting, nausea, and hypersensitivity to auditory, visual, or other types of stimuli.

While multiple drug-based interventions are available for treating migraines, they’ve don’t always work well for patients and come with a variety of scary side effects.  However, a fairly recent scientific review brought something to light that’s been suppressed for more than 70 years!

Dating back to 1045: Vitamin B2 shown to be an effective migraine remedy

In the recent scientific review, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 11 different clinical trials involving riboflavin were examined. At the end of the investigation, researchers said that using vitamin B2 for migraine headaches shows promise, but further research should be conducted.

What most people don’t know is that evidence of vitamin B2 as an effective migraine treatment dates back to 1946.  In fact, in June of 1946, the Canadian Medical Association Journal published an interesting study involving Clifford B. Smith M.D.’s treatment of migraine patients using riboflavin.

Dr. Smith used vitamin B2 on 19 patients, and all of the patients studied enjoyed improved wellbeing and most found that their migraine attacks went away.

The pharmaceutical industry cover-up

As this information on vitamin B2 for migraine headaches comes to light, many migraine sufferers would naturally wonder why they haven’t been clued in on this information for over 70 years.  The answer is simple: look at the pharmaceutical industry – which has been working to steer patients away from natural approaches to medicine for decades.

Keep in mind, painkillers are one of the top highest-earning classes of drugs for big pharma.   In fact, the worldwide opioids market earned over 25 billion USD, in 2018, and is expected to grow even higher – in the years to come.

So, it becomes quite clear that good news about how vitamin B2 can help people with migraines would threaten drug company profits.

A significant body of scientific evidence backs up the use of riboflavin (B2) for migraine headaches, making it a natural, low-cost solution for migraine sufferers that’s safe and worth trying.  Don’t let big pharma keep you from the migraine relief you deserve.

Action step: talk to a well-trained, integrative healthcare provider that appreciates the value of good nutrition, chiropractic care, detoxification and nutritional supplements, as needed.  Because, no doubt, a full recovery from dis-ease depends on simple (yet, effective) lifestyle changes.
