Inflammation and The Blood Brain Barrier

When I started Rayforma a few years ago, I knew that by promoting such a highly effective migraine cure for many, I may be drawing attention to what partially causes migraines in the first place- inflammation impacting the blood brain barrier. Since the beginning and years after, most neurologists were convinced that headaches and migraines were a neurological disorder. In fact, at an American Headache Society, they held a mock debate: "What causes migraine: Neurological disorders or Inflammation? " The doctor supporting the case for inflammation prefaced the debate by saying she knows migraines are a neurological issue but couldn't find a single neurologist to take the viewpoint that migraines are caused by inflammation. Lately, the articles are whispering about inflammation causing migraines, but more concerning is that they speak about this blood brain barrier.
With so many products filled with additives that cause a litany of issues, my fear is that new products may try to impact this sensitive blood brain barrier. It appears that day has come as the world is now very aware of the blood brain barrier and its implications on at least head/neck health. I believe there are heart and stomach connections as well.
Since we are learning so much about health via AI so quickly and too many companies have already proven that consumer health is not their concern, my hope is that the government takes bigger action. We must regulate additives and societal factors which contribute to degrading health almost unnecessarily. I am a big supporter of HHS Secretary RFK's work on food dyes but think he needs to go much, much further. With people at Davos arguing the world is too populated, I like to think that's not the case. It's important to set up a society where people can thrive. The Europeans who come here that I've spoken to will say, something is different about the US food. No matter how much they walk when traveling here, they'll gain weight. I am not a big fan of regulation in general but it does not appear like enough large firms care about their customer's health, given their past actions. We need to regulate until we learn more and try to keep things natural. It got us this far.
