[.ca] Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge ... (ISBN 0761127984)

It worked for me, but only for a while:
Add my name to the long list of reviewers for whom this book offered welcome relief. I have suffered migraines for over 50 years and am now virtually free \osee note below\c. The method was not easy. First, you have to stop taking all pain medications that cause rebound headaches. That includes just about everything that you would have ever found useful. Once free of those, you then start working on your personal dietary triggers. For me, it turned out to be a lot of stuff I love. Finally, you find a medicine that raises your headache threshold. For me, it was a moderate dose of nortripaline. The process took four months and included a lot of pain, particularly as I went thru headaches without pain relievers. But it was worth it. Added July 6, 2004 -- Unfortunately, the relief offered by the book did not last long. Within six months of starting the program I had a major relapse with a migraine that gripped for more than two weeks and left me with tinnitus. I have followed the book's prescription to the letter, but to no avail.

belief in life after migraines:
if you still believe in miracles, Santa Claus, the basic goodness of people, and physicians who can be "user friendly", you have to buy this book! it's written as if the author were a member of your own family, he speaks to OUR level, not more and for once, not less. He anticipates your very next question or response, almost to the point of having a "sixth sense". The book can change your life, but only if you're willing to make the effort to take the first step. He can chase the monsters away, and renew your belief in miracles, Santa, pain-free days and the hope of a brand new tomorrow. Your life can be changed and saved for yourself, and your loved ones. I cannot express it more highly than that.

It worked for my mom after over 30 years of other methods!!!:
I bought this book for my mom. It is an easy read and the solutions offered very easy to follow. All it takes is someone that is willing. She was very willing after having headaches all of her adult life with nothing that worked. She read it and began following the steps completely...six months later her headaches have dramatically improved! Our sincerest thanks to Dr. David Buchholz.

Get back your life:
I have suffered from migraines most of my life. Over the past six years they have become much more frequent and severe. I have tried every natural remedy and prevention I could find. Finally I saw a neurologist who prescribed one of the new migraine medications. I began taking them 2x week. My headaches became more frequent over a four year period as many as 3-5 times a week. Then I found Dr. David Buchholz's book, "Heal Your Headache, The 1-2-3 Program." I stopped taking the prescription drugs, began a headache diet he outlines. I have my life back !! I can not tell you what a remarkable difference this program has made in my life !!

Forget Atkins -- Migrainers Need a Buchholz Diet Revolution:
I first read this book and saw Dr. Buchholz six months ago. For the second time in three years, my migraines and associated symptoms of dizziness and nausea had become so bad that I hadn't been to work in weeks. I had tried everything, but seemed to suffer regular migraines no matter what I did. For years I had carried a pill fob of painkillers and abortive drugs with me everywhere I went, and felt entirely dependent on the meds (I didn't abuse them, but on a few occasions when I had needed them and didn't have them with me I had ended up in the emergency room getting shots of Toradol). You've heard this all before I am sure... it is six months into the diet and discontinuation of all drugs except a daily preventative, and I have had only 3 or 4 headaches in that time. I know longer carry those medications at all. This is not a fad diet for a quick fix, but an incredibly empowering approach for the long term that requires you to make tough changes. You have to forego abortive medications and make some pretty tough dietary changes. But it works 100x more than any other approach that I have tried -- it truly makes a difference.
