Study investigating using green light to mitigate migraines

[FoxtArt]

Then what do blue lights do? I prefer the red light district...

True fact: they apparently damage your vision, albet very, very slowly.

Not long after I started getting classical migraines in my teens, I discovered that I could mitigate or at least postpone the worst of the symptoms with caffeine. My doctor at the time told me this was purely placebo effect and that caffeine could not possibly be helpful. Fast forward 20 years, and Johns Hopkins published a massive study that indicated that caffeine was beneficial in over 90 percent of the patients in their double blind study, as opposed to 22 percent of the the patients receiving the placebo. Medical sc ience is not nearly as advanced as many physicians would like you to believe...

My parents have a stove with a clock that is blue led. It hurts just to look at it and it is blurry at distances that it shouldn't be.

My 'go to' in my teens was to take a couple of aspirin with a Coke. Excedrin (aspirin, tylenol, caffeine) worked better than many of the prescriptions I was given.

That's because the wavelength of blue light actually refracts differently in the lens of your eye, causing it to focus just in front of, rather than on, the retina.

Sounds like blue is a dumb color.

At least it isn't yellow.

The cause of migraines is idiopathic. I have a theory that it is simply a sensitivity to a parasite. This parasite vector is the species felidae.
I have had the best results with a toxic dose of folinic acid.
12% of the US population suffers from migraines.
When I find the causative agent, I will announce it here first.

I'll meet you half way at Green.
