Can detox cure migraines?

Migraine and detox I recently met up with Sandy Halliday, a graduate from the same nutrition college as me. We obviously soon started discussing the different routes we’d taken since our course finished. While I have specialized in migraine, Sandy’s research and practice has focused on detox diets.
