I suspect it could be the placebo, in effect a “sugar pill”. If it works then great.

Hi,
I thought I would share this as it certainly came as news to me! (Maybe I just don’t keep up as well as I should??!!)
I saw a client this morning who suffered with quite debilitating migraines until about 16 months ago. He was advised by his GP to treat these by taking 2 Paracetamol with water as soon as he felt one starting and then put a tablespoonful of sugar in his mouth and let it dissolve naturally. My client now swears by this and has not suffered from migraine since!
Has anyone else heard of this?
