hi tamarie -

i work as a naturopath (natural health care field) and my experience has been, with the majority of clients with headaches, that there is a high level of toxicity in the body. toxicity can come from many sources - medications (prescription) are highly toxic to our bodies, radiation from numerous sources (naturally occurring in the ground, from the various electronic devices we use, dental and medical x-rays, sunshine, etc.), food additives is a huge one (the chemicals, dyes, msg - ugh, etc.), chemicals used in the environment and also in the stuff we wear, live in, etc., toxins that are put in our mouths - dental, on our bodies - personal care products.....ahhhhh, the list goes on and on. in my profession, i use kinesiology to test for these various things and others and that, for me, is an efficient way to find out and offer treatment. i generally use homeopathic products to detox because it goes down to a cellular level and is pretty thorough.

that said, working on the physical body only is very limiting. the interesting thing is to go further and ask "why is this body susceptible to this imbalance in the first place?" then my work can take me to mental constructs, suppressed emotions, spiritual beliefs, etc that are not serving the person overall. then a difference can really be made toward getting resolution of not just the immediate complaint but resolution of the ongoing pattern of imbalance.

my best to you,
shelly
