Conclusions

(1) It seems that attacks of migraine and headaches of certain types develop in the presence of retention of liquid in the human organism, the brain tissue taking part in this retention (retentional type). Or, these attacks develop if liquid retained throughout the body becomes mobilized, shifted to the brain and accumulates therein (mobilizational type). In both cases the intracranial pressure increases, leading to distention of the meninges: the immediate cause of the headaches and other symptoms of migraine and certain related conditions. (2) A diet, termed as “antiretentional”, has been developed, with the aim of (a) eliminating and (b) preventing the retention of liquid. A description is given of the results obtained in thirty cases of migraine and certain related conditions.
