www.ZYWORLD.COM/HEADACHEPAINFREE/ Magnesium as a preventive treatment for CH is the main value of this site. It appears that magnesium has been used in Europe for some years for this purpose and I've posted one medical report about using IV magnesium to abort headaches which would not repond to the usual medications. [With thanks to Shawna @ 6/22/00.]
(Vitamin B-2, 400mg/day, has also appeared in the medical literature as a possible preventive treatment: evidence is anecdotal so far but favorable [as of 9/00]. I've been using both B-2 and calcium/vitamin D/magnesium, 500mg, in a combination capsule, and have not had a CH for 22-months.)
