As I wasn't satisfied with the form and the link I wanted to put in excerpt, I've asked AI to do the job, with a specific orientation.
Simplified English Version (impact-focused)
When headaches keep coming back despite physical therapy, stretching, or aspirin, it’s worth looking at another angle:
👉 a disruption of the electrical and chemical “circuits” of the nervous system, often worsened by neck/shoulder tension and increased sensitivity.
Here are three useful avenues to explore:
Release physical compression on the nerves
A combination of acupuncture + physiotherapy/manual therapy can reduce the “pinching” around the cervical nerves.
➡️ Less compression = less neural over-excitation and fewer headaches.
Support the neuro-metabolic pathways (B1 + B6/PLP)
Some B-vitamins — especially B1 (thiamine) and B6 in its active form PLP — help stabilize the balance between excitation (glutamate) and calming signals (GABA).
When these pathways are sluggish or overloaded, the nervous system becomes hypersensitive.
Why it matters:
• B1 improves energy flow in nerve cells (used heavily by the brain)
• B6/PLP is needed to make GABA, so the brain doesn’t over-fire
• Wrong form or excess B6 → irritability of the nerves
• B1 increases the need for B2, which depends on iodine, selenium, molybdenum status
• Imbalances can trigger a paradoxical reaction (symptoms worsen before they improve)
👉 See Dr. Derrick Lonsdale & Chandler Marrs (Hormones Matter): their work explains how thiamine deficiency or bottlenecks can create “functional” neurological symptoms including headaches, fatigue, nerve tension.
Address the excitatory load (glutamate pathway)
Too much glutamate or poor conversion from glutamine can lead to neural over-reactivity.
→ Taurine can sometimes help calm these pathways, even without supplementing glutamine.
In short, the picture looks like this:
A mix of mechanical compression + neurochemical sensitivity.
The goal is to decompress, discharge, then rebalance the circuits.
Extra: Thyroid issues when halogens block iodine (simple image)
When iodine receptors in the thyroid are “occupied” by other halogens (fluoride, bromide, chlorine), the thyroid can’t activate metabolism properly — including the pathways needed for B2 and therefore B1 to work efficiently.
Simple conceptual image : Iodine receptor on thyroid cell:
[ I ] ← iodine fits perfectly. No problem.
Halogens in the way: [ F ] [ Br ] [ Cl ] are blocking the access. The halogens block the slot → iodine can't bind.
Result:
↓ Thyroid activation → ↓ B2 activation → ↓ B1 efficiency
= increased sensitivity + low stress tolerance + headaches possible.
When the “slot” is blocked, the whole metabolic chain slows down, including those related to neural stability.
