People come to me all the time with migraines, and I’m telling you, that is one slippery devil to wrestle down. Migraines aren’t just headaches; they’re sneaky, shape-shifting beasts with a thousand faces. Stress, dehydration, parasites, old dental work, hormones, EMF, a bad meal three days ago… you name it, and it could be the culprit. That’s why the real solution lies in becoming a bit of an investigator. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure it all out before you start getting relief.
If you’ve got a migraine trying to knock you off your game, there is something you can do right now that not only works but also helps repair the very things that likely caused the migraine in the first place. And unlike pharmaceuticals, which slap a chemical band-aid on the problem while doing more harm than good, folks report this natural combo is good for your body, brain, and beyond.
Let’s break it down:
🥇 1. Oceanic Magnesium (Magnesium Chloride)
Efficacy: ★★★★★
Magnesium deficiency is the most common cause of migraines. When you’re low in magnesium, your nervous system acts like a live wire in a rainstorm: spasms, tight vessels, static everywhere. But the right magnesium smooths that whole system out.
How to use:
-
- Topical only: Spray magnesium oil on the back of your neck, shoulders, and temples. Rub it in. Let it soak.
Pro Tip: Going topical offers the quickest relief. It bypasses your gut and heads straight for the tissues.
🥈 2. DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide)
Efficacy: ★★★★☆
If magnesium is the fire hose, DMSO is the drill. It goes deep into the tissue, dragging good stuff (like magnesium) with it. Plus, it turns down inflammation and shuts off nerve pain like flicking a switch.
How to use:
-
- Topical only: I use 50% DMSO liquid above the waist, 70% below. Apply to temples, neck, and base of the skull. Clean skin first!
- For more punch, mix DMSO 50/50 with oceanic magnesium. That combo often stops a migraine cold.
🥉 3. Chlorine Dioxide (CDS or MMS)
Efficacy: ★★★★☆
Got a migraine triggered by toxins, mold, or bugs? CDS clears the decks. It neutralizes poisons and kills pathogens that may be irritating your nerves or brain.
How to use:
-
- Oral: Start low and slow—1 ml of 3000 ppm CDS in a glass of water, up to 3x/day.
- Topical: Dilute, then dab on the neck and temples.
Warning: If you’re detoxing something nasty, symptoms might flare before they clear. Stay the course.
- Colloidal Silver Water
Efficacy: ★★★☆☆
Colloidal Silver Water helps if the migraine’s got a sinus, dental, or low-grade infection angle. Think inflammation from hidden bugs.
How to use:
-
- Oral: 1–2 tsp under the tongue or in water.
- Nasal Spray: Spray into nostrils to drain sinuses.
- Topical: Apply to temples or neck if there’s heat or inflammation.
- Lugol’s Iodine
Efficacy: ★★☆☆☆
This one’s for long-game players. If your migraines come like clockwork with hormone shifts (especially for women), Lugol’s can help balance thyroid and hormone function.
How to use:
-
- Oral: 1–2 drops 6.6% (2% to 5% will work, too) in water daily.
- Topical: One drop on the wrist or neck.
- Ivermectin
Efficacy: ★☆☆☆☆
Rare, but worth mentioning. Some migraines are parasitic in nature (don’t laugh—it’s real). If you’ve got mysterious, cyclical migraines and nothing else works, a parasite cleanse might be the ticket.
How to use (off-label):
-
- Oral: Dose based on weight (~0.2–0.4 mg/kg), 1–2x per week.
🧠 Pro Tips from Roi’s Field Kit
- The Fastest Fix: At the first twinge of a migraine, rub oceanic magnesium chloride onto your shoulders, neck, and temples. If it’s a doozy, mix it 50/50 with pharmaceutical-grade DMSO. That’s the power combo. You might feel it release in minutes.
- Where to Get It: Make sure your magnesium is magnesium chloride, preferably sourced from ocean seawater. Avoid cheap magnesium that barely absorbs. Always use pharmaceutical-grade DMSO (99.995%) diluted with distilled water.
- Keep It Clean: DMSO absorbs whatever it touches. Ensure skin is clean of lotion, perfume, or anything toxic before applying.
👣 Roi’s Migraine Mystery Tour: How I Track the Culprit
Every migraine has a story. When you’ve had enough of guessing, you need to go full detective. Here’s my drip protocol:
- Start with Liquid Magnesium + DMSO = relief. Bring pain down first.
- Hydration check. Dehydration is a common trigger.
- Dietary suspects. Look for hidden MSG, artificial sweeteners, caffeine overload, or aged cheese.
- Parasite or mold exposure? Consider CDS or Ivermectin.
- Sinus congestion or dental problems? Add in colloidal Silver Water spray or rinse.
- Hormonal pattern? Track cycle and try Lugol’s Iodine.
- Stress & tension? Add magnesium baths, breathwork, and grounding.
| Remedy | Efficacy | Application | Best For |
| Magnesium Chloride | ★★★★★ | Topical | This essential mineral deficiency causes most migraines |
| DMSO | ★★★★☆ | Topical | Inflammatory, tension migraines, and pain relief |
| Chlorine Dioxide | ★★★★☆ | Oral & Topical | Toxic, pathogen-triggered, detox-related migraines |
| Colloidal Silver | ★★★☆☆ | Oral, Nasal, Topical | Sinus or microbial-related migraines |
| Lugol’s Iodine | ★★☆☆☆ | Oral & Topical | Hormonal balance, especially in women |
| Ivermectin | ★☆☆☆☆ | Oral | Rare parasitic or neuroinflammatory migraines |
You don’t need to suffer. You just need the right tool for the right job—and a little willingness to play detective with your own body. The good news is, you can feel better now, and you can figure out why later.
Let pain be the messenger—but not the master.
