I started taking Green Tea Extract on the recommendations of a diet & exercise book. Quickly I started having full-blown migraines, with aura, photophobia, vomiting etc. Nothing would stop the pain and after 12-48 hours of it in a darkened room, the pain was so bad that I started to think that if this was a regular thing I'd consider if life was worth living.

I'd never had migraines before in my adult life. I stopped taking the green tea extract and the migraines stopped. I've never had one since - and several years have passed.

If I had been in a difficult position when one of these attacks had come on (eg on my own a long way from anyone else - maybe even offshore on my SUP), there could have been very serious consequences. The visual disturbances and loss of balance were profound - I couldn't do anything except lie down and moan with pain.

A lot of people who don't know what they are talking about are making a lot of money peddling and recommending all manner of unproven and possibly dangerous crap. Don't be a mug (like I was). Recognise BS when you see it. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
