XI – Etiologies or Risk Factors for the three
Fluids Hypertension Syndromes and their Migraines
Distinction between Risk Factor and Etiology: When the patient presents only one etiology or risk
factor alone, usually there is no sign or symptom and the patient is healthy, and we denominate it as a
Risk Factor. When the patient presents one risk factor with high intensity, or two or more risk factors
simultaneously, the fluids’ pressure raises and the patient feels headaches, migraines or other signs,
symptoms, and eventually some sickness; so, the previous Risk Factors became Etiologies.
There are etiologies that we studied but did not make statistics, as chocolate and others, at the end of
this table.
The main etiologies related with our patients’ migraines, signs and symptoms are in the following

Table XI-1: Main etiologies of all Migraines from the 931 Migraine patients.
We marked boldface the most important numbers.
Each patient could present or no one, or one, or more etiologies simultaneously.
We are sorry that we did not include the chocolate in our questionnaire and in this statistic. We believed
that the Theobromine was a harmless drug, only useful as a medication. This was a big our mistake.
Cocoa, which is used to manufacture the chocolate, can have 26000 mg of theobromine per kg of
cocoa. (Risner C H), besides some caffeine, and its toxicity is corroborated.
