“…We formulated a specific protocol with increased dietary sodium. The experimental result was published in November 2015 explaining the inverse relationship of dietary sodium and migraine. In this paper, we also reported the specific level of increased sodium to which migraineurs responded positively.…”

“…Our study shows a definite inverse relation and provides proof of the positive changes in migraine outcome in response to increased dietary sodium aiming at migraine prevention and control. 2,3 The study also highlights that increased sodium does not help in isolation. Factors that remove sodium from electrolyte, such as glucose, are also greatly involved, providing support and explanation to earlier findings by others that migraine was in some way connected to Conflict of Interest: None.…”

“…CD is a brain region with lack of electrical activity and CSD is the brain's attempt at shocking non-functioning brain regions by voltage into functioning again [1,[37][38][39]. Prodromes such as fatigue, food cravings, and difficulty concentrating are associated with brain regions about to become low in voltage energy as the brain is starting to experience CD.…”

Purpose of review: Migraine attacks often follow prodrome symptoms. Prodrome symptoms are inconsistently and incompletely defined in literature. Here we define the functionality of the common prodrome symptoms and introduce additional ones that have so far eluded investigators. Prodrome types are not just symptoms but represent physiological changes that signal why a migraine may occur. Recent findings: Migraine associated prodrome types are considered as symptoms and precursors to an oncoming migraine with or without pain. Summary: The understanding of the function of each prodrome may help in understanding migraine, how and what needs to be treated. By understanding the function of prodrome, migraines may be averted with success.

Sodium Toxicity in the Nutritional Epidemiology and Nutritional Immunology of COVID-19

Dietary factors in the etiology of COVID-19 are understudied. High dietary sodium intake leading to sodium toxicity is associated with comorbid conditions of COVID-19 such as hypertension, kidney disease, stroke, pneumonia, obesity, diabetes, hepatic disease, cardiac arrhythmias, thrombosis, migraine, tinnitus, Bell’s palsy, multiple sclerosis, systemic sclerosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. This article synthesizes evidence from epidemiology, pathophysiology, immunology, and virology literature linking sodium toxicological mechanisms to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Sodium toxicity is a modifiable disease determinant that impairs the mucociliary clearance of virion aggregates in nasal sinuses of the mucosal immune system, which may lead to SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral sepsis. In addition, sodium toxicity causes pulmonary edema associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome, as well as inflammatory immune responses and other symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever and nasal sinus congestion. Consequently, sodium toxicity potentially mediates the association of COVID-19 pathophysiology with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Sodium dietary intake also increases in the winter, when sodium losses through sweating are reduced, correlating with influenza-like illness outbreaks. Increased SARS-CoV-2 infections in lower socioeconomic classes and among people in government institutions are linked to the consumption of foods highly processed with sodium. Interventions to reduce COVID-19 morbidity and mortality through reduced-sodium diets should be explored further.
