I have struggled with migraines my entire life. However, during the first year of the pandemic, I realized I was reaching for my migraine prescription every. single. day. Despite my best efforts to exercise and eat well – I continued to gain weight, couldn’t sleep at night and lived in pain.
I’ve literally tried just about anything and everything – so when I came across this book, I figured I had nothing to lose. It’s early on in my journey but the concepts of this book resonate with me. Our world is full of toxins – physical, environmental and so much more. It just made sense to me.
Of course, we can’t change our whole lives overnight — and Dr. Cabral doesn’t recommend doing so. But, he does recommend trying to make small changes that will add up over time – -and that is exactly what I am doing. Anything I can do to heal my headaches — or even significantly reduce them – would have a huge, positive impact on my quality of life. And, as with anything – -if there are things I can learn – (by experimenting on myself) that I can pass along to help my children avoid some of the issues I have had – -well then, all the better.
So, I’ve linked a couple of things I am trying: from a water filter, to dry-brushing, to growing my own sprouts. I’ve also tried Dr. Cabral’s liver detox – -and felt better in that couple of weeks than I have felt in years. I will definitely continue updating – but I am hopeful!

Clearly what we’re doing is not working and there must be something that’s being overlooked… It turns out the answer is simpler than we think and it lies in the oldest form of medicine in the world.
