How does food trigger a headache?
One way is it dilates the blood vessels in the head. This sets off
a series of events identical to what migraine sufferers report just
before a migraine strikes. Nitrites, usually found in sausages and hot
dogs, can cause this reaction. Other foods that contain proteins
having an amine in their structure can also trigger a headache; so can
a substance called Tyramine, which is found in many foods (hard
cheeses for example).16
The common hangover headache is the result of drinking alcohol
on an empty stomach and consuming excessive amounts. Hangover
headaches can of course be avoided by eating before we drink, and
drinking moderately at a slow, relaxed pace. Some wines – red wines
in particular – contain sulfites. People who get migraines after
drinking red wine may be reacting to the sulfites instead of to the
alcohol itself.17
Food Additives
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a chemical that is used by
some cooks to enhance the flavor of dishes and to tenderize meats.

An example of MSG triggering headaches and migraines is the Chinese
restaurant syndrome, which people first took notice of in the 1960’s.
Many restaurants now do not add MSG in their cooking and
people can request that it be not added. While some people do not
react to MSG, it is best to avoid it since it has no known nutritional
value and has triggered migraines and headaches in some people.

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world had crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure for Herpes syndrome.
