Book Description
Based on the breakthrough understanding that virtually all headaches are forms of migraine--because migraine is not a specific type of headache, but the built-in mechanism that causes headaches of all kinds, along with neck stiffness, sinus congestion, dizziness, and other problems--Dr. Buchholz's Heal Your Headache puts headache sufferers back in control of their lives with a simple, transforming program: Step 1: Avoid the "Quick Fix." Too often painkillers only make matters worse because of the crippling complication known as rebound. Step 2: Reduce Your Triggers. The crux of the program: a migraine diet that eliminates the foods that push headache sufferers over the top. Step 3: Raise Your Threshold. When diet and other lifestyle changes aren't enough, preventive medication can help stay the course.

That's it: in three steps turn your headache problems around. ... Read more

I didn't think it would work
I am 32 and have had headaches consistently since I was a kid.I always thought it was due to neck or back problems and had no idea that the foods I was eating and the headache medication I was taking was most of the problem.Since reading this book I have gone from having a headache almost every night to having only one or two headaches a month.The key for me has been following most of the dietary changes Dr. Buchholz recommends, and getting off of the migrane prescription medication I'd been taking.
Dr. Buchholz' system is based on his years of experience as a neurologist.The book begins by explaining his view that nearly all headaches are migranes and that even though it may seem like our headache is due to sore neck muscles or tension, that the tenseness we feel is actually a neurological symptom of the headache itself.He then goes on to outline how we can reduce our occurrance of headaches by eliminating or reducing certain foods in our diet.I had no idea that any foods were giving me a headache, but I learned from this book that many times the migrane will come hours after we've consumed those foods, so it's difficult to tell what caused it.I can't recommend this book highly enough.I never though I would have the quality of life that I have now, and it's worth it, even though I have eliminated some foods I really loved.

GREAT BOOK
I ordered this the same day I ordered the book on migraines and magnesium. I read the magnesium book first and started taking supplements, which helped immediately. Then I read this book one day when I was home sick, and immediately implemented the diet and stopped taking all my medications. Cold turkey. Yes, it sucked. I missed Diet Coke and coffee so much.

But very quickly, I was able to id what my triggers were. I have gradually worked a few of my favorite things back in. Yes, the diet is hard to follow, at first it seems like there is nothing you can eat! But with some diligence, it becomes easier. And I also lost a lot of weight quickly on the diet.

For me, the triggers I found were nitrates and MSG, which I did not know were in almost all restaurant food.That leaves me with only eating fresh food, basically....And wow, it tastes good.

I started the mild exercise and being diligent about getting rest as well. I like to work out a lot harder than "mild" exercise, so this is hard for me...but I hope to be able to work up to more exercise eventually. At any rate, it was worth any sacrifice to me to get rid of the pain that was ruining my life.

I recommend this book and the book on magnesium and migraines. You can get your life back and stop writhing in pain and nausea! I haven't had a migraine in over a month and I was getting them at least two times a week, often more, for 20 years.

This Book Changed my LIFE!
Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain

This book changed my life.I was having 20+ migraines a month.After reading this book and deciding to follow what it recommended, I am now down to 1-3 a month.It was not easy at first but I hung in there and it is so worth it.I have my life back.I now know what I can and can not do and eat and there is NOTHING that is worth getting a headache for so I just stay clear.This book is a MUST read for anyone with migraines.

Absolute GOLD for any migraine sufferer, or someone who cares for one.
The information in this book is what finally gave me a measure of control over
my migraines.The book was first loaned to me by my neurologist.I read it,
applied the suggestions, and soon purchased my own copy to reference before
returning his.

I have read a couple of other migraine related books, and picked up a tip or two,
but none had an impact like this one.I can not stress enough that if you are
serious about taking control back of your life and your pain, GET THIS BOOK!It
Is not expensive, and the information is priceless.

Highly Recommend!
I used to (fingers crossed) suffer from very bad migraines that ranged from bad to unbearable for several years. When they started increasing in frequency to the point where I had 3 or 4 a week, I was determined to find relief. I read this book and started following recommendations in mid November 2007. Stopped Excedrin and Relpax and started excluding trigger foods. I also started taking Migrelief more regularly (got the insight from "The Magnesium Solution"). First week was tough. After that, I have had maybe 2-3 migraines between end of November and now (Jan 9, 08)! And those I had were very mild comparing to my prior experience.
Keeping fingers crossed, I will continue to enoy the same going forward!
The book definitely helped! I now don't even have to exclude trigger foods, except on high trigger days. I think stopping the rebound causing medications did it for me.

I am still amazed at the results! Excellent book, great help! ... Read more

My Wife's Miracle Book
This review refers to Dr. Jones' book The All-Natural Cure For Your PMS but it is relevant to the above book, as well.Please continue reading the rest of this review and I hope you find the relief that we have.I don't care about the book's typos.I don't care that the book gives only a little more information than the website.I don't even care if the doctor is getting a "kickback" from the supplement companies he recommends.All I care about is if the doctor's recommendations work for my wife.AND THEY DO!!After years of suffering from PMS, in desperation, my wife searched the internet for something to relieve her symptoms and she came across Dr. Jones' website.She read it through and became excited at the reports of an 80% success rate on the program.She ordered the book and we quickly read through it over two nights.It's an easy read, much as the website is.Frankly, most of the book is there to convince you of the doc's credentials and give you faith in the supplementation program.There is a nice one-page summary (actually a quarter-page) of his recommendations that is worth the price of the book alone.We ordered the three supplements and began the program immediately, knowing it could take a couple months to take effect, according to Dr. Jones.In the meantime, we kept our fingers crossed and prayed that my wife would fall into the 80% range.Four weeks later, my wife was wondering why she was craving chocolate one day.Then she used the bathroom and surprisingly found that her period had begun.I say surprisingly because she usually had a one-week warning of the impending period with severe mood swings, depression, inability to concentrate, and a short temper.This time, she had been in a great mood the entire pre-menstrual period.That was only part of the success for us.The other, much more dramatic part came with the migraines.My wife is now 37 years old and she began having migraines at 34.It took us many months to figure out that her "triggers" were her "heavy" period day and, even worse, changing weather.Whenever the barometer was falling, a big temperature drop would happen from day to day, or a storm system came through the area, the migraines would hit and my wife would be incapacitated for up to three days.We tried multiple trips to the doctor, Imitrex, otc migraine medications, naproxen, ibuprofen, massage, chiropractic care, cold compresses, and relaxation techniques.Nothing worked with any lasting effect.For three years, we knew there would be two or three migraine episodes a month and little we could do about it.After starting the supplement program, I am extremely happy to report that my wife has been free of migraines for over two months in a row and, in fact, has not had any type of headache at all in that time.I can't speak for other people but, for us, the price of the book and the cost of the supplements is nothing compared to the pain-free, anxiety-free life that my wife now enjoys.Thank you so much, Dr. Jones!After reading some of the responses to the other reviewer, who apparently never added to her review, I hope some of you are still checking back on this book and read this review. I don't know if the supplement recommendations are different in this book than in the book that I'm reviewing (PMS book), but all I know is that Dr. Jones' was right on for us and for that I'm eternally grateful.

First Impressions
If you have read Dr. Jones's long introduction on his website, then this book offers hardly one additional page of information.Of course, it is the answer to the all important question - WHAT is this natural cure, and that is what you are paying the price of the book for.
Dr. Andrew Jones also states that it takes about two months to see the effects of the course, and so I will add another review in September and let you know how worth while the whole exercise was for me.
If the cure works, then all is forgiven, may he who found it and shared it with the world be blessed!
If the cure does not get rid of the headache, then all it does get rid of is your $200 - that you will spend on the 'natural' medicine for the two months...
It would be easy for the Doubt to step in, but for now I still have Faith. ... Read more

Helped answer some questions
I suffer from cronic migraines.I have been seeing my doctor, but havn't been getting the answeres I've needed.This book helped me understand what was going on, what to look for, and even gave me ideas on what to do differently.It also gave me ideas of what i'm going to mention during my next visit to my doctor.My mother also suffers from migraines, and I have a few friends and do also.I have had no problem inviting them to read my book.

Essential for migraine sufferers.........
....Seymour Diamond, MD has written a comprehensive book on migraines that is designed for the layman. He explains the physiology of migraines and how they differ from ordinary headaches. He describes common symptoms that help the reader identify if and which type of migraine he/she gets, or if the migraines are co-existing with other types of headaches (which, once diagnosed, impacts treatment). Dr. Diamond delves into the specific problems that may occur in women (PMS, menopause) and how they may correlate with migraine, the link between migraine and other diseases (such as lupus, epliepsy, etc.) and how to tell the danger signs that indicate that a headache requires immediate medical attention.

The second half of the book is devoted to treatment. Dr.Diamond covers common drugs that are prescribed to treat migraine as well as dietary changes that migraine sufferers may wish to make. He also has a section on alternative treatments from chiropractic to biofeedback to herbal remedies.

The book also includes case studies and ends with a presentation of several support networks for migraine sufferers. Overall very informative book and a must for anyone wishing to begin or change the treatment they are receiving for migraines. ... Read more

Very Helpful For My Two Daughters
A friend of mine gave me a copy of this workbook because he knew my daughters were getting frequent migraine headaches.This book was so easy to use and understand.It seemed like it was written for me.My daughters really liked to use the color poster and the food deck as a reminder of foods they should limit portion sizes or avoid altogether. My youngest daughter still gets a headache from time to time but they frequency and level of pain of her existing headaches has decreased greatly.She is doing well in school and I can't say enough about how this book has helped both my daughters.I recommend it to everyone I come across who is helping their child cope with childhood headaches. ...

Book Description
Debilitating migraines affect thousands of people world-wide and yet so many sufferers remain inadequately treated. Sufferers tend to have limited access to complete information on the management of their migraines and are likely to become desperate, thinking that they have exhausted all their treatment options and need to accept a life tormented by splitting headaches. For this very reason, Managing Migraines has been written to bring new hope to all migraineurs and to give them the tools with which to improve their quality of life. In this book all aspects of dealing with migraines have been investigated in order to show sufferers how many choices of treatment are available to them. There is no single wonder cure that will work for every single person- instead there are so many different alternatives available, that no sufferer should remain untreated and in pain. The author, through personal, as well as professional experience with migraines, emphasizes that people are diverse and have different factors that trigger their migraines. Managing Migraines covers not only the broad range of effective treatments available, ranging from medicinal, to complementary, to alternative remedies, but also offers many useful lifestyle changes. This book gives valuable advice on recognizing dangerous trigger factors, thus allowing sufferers to recognize their own specific migraine triggers and to thereby prevent the onset of an incapacitating migraine. Every single sufferer will derive benefit out of the information made available in this book. It is no longer necessary to sit in pain, feeling distressed and despondent! Managing Migraines will allow you to learn about the causes of your migraines, to find appropriate remedies to suit your own specific needs and, above all, it will empower you to put an end to your physical anguish. Read about your many alternatives and put an end to your suffering! ... Read more

Some helpful info
This book did contain some helpful information about migraines, and some helpful tips for coping with them.However, some things in the book seemed surprisingly outdated for a book which came out so recently.For example, the book uses the language of "classic migraine" and "common migraine," instead of the current language of migraine with or without aura.Such lapses made me wonder if the author was up to date on other information or not.This is not a bad book, but there are better books available.

Help at hand at long last!
This book is going to be my companion for some time to come! The immense wealth of information in it will bring me closer to finally determining my personal trigger factors and then choosing the most effective treatment for me especially with the help of the migraine diary - clever idea that is! The author managed to speak in a language which anybody can understand and the huge number of treatment alternatives plus her in-depth information on specific needs must surely be one of the most comprehensive books on migraines I have come across in my long battle with this debilitating affliction. Without a doubt knowledgeably written by a sufferer for sufferers! Another point I find very convincing and appealing is the fact that the author is in no way trying to sell a specific product line as so often is the case with other treatments advertised and which makes me always wonder. I feel immensely relieved to have help at hand at long last! Highly recommended my fellow sufferers!! ... Read more

Food can't cure headaches, but avoiding certain foods may preventthem, according to author David R. Marks, medical director of the New EnglandCenter for Headache. Some foods commonly trigger headaches in some people. Ifyou're a headache sufferer, eliminating those foods from your diet is a sensiblesecond step towards managing headaches. (The first step is to see your doctor todetermine if there is some underlying condition that is causing theheadaches.)

The key is to go on an elimination diet that avoids trigger foods such as mostcheeses, chocolate, nuts, certain meats, preservatives, artificial sweeteners,MSG, caffeine, beans, out-of-the-oven yeast products (e.g., pizza, yeast breads,doughnuts), alcohol (especially red wine), ice cream, olive oil, and many, manymore. If you were left to your own devices to figure out what's left aftereliminating all these foods, you'd probably give up within a day. But LauraMarks has done the work for you, putting together 100 recipes that contain none(whew!) of the forbidden foods. The Headache Prevention Cookbook'srecipes aren't bland or boring. They include HeartyPotato-Mushroom Frittata, Crepes with Spinach and Cheese Filling, Eggplant"Caviar," Corn and Carrot Chowder, Linguine with White Clam Sauce, GarlicChicken, Cornish Hens and Wild Rice with Apricot Sauce, Asian Ginger Beef withBroccoli, Seafood Curry, and Angel Food-Strawberry Delight.

The authors suggest that you follow this diet, using their recipes and othersyou create yourself, for at least two months, and see if your headaches go away.Then gradually reintroduce the foods you avoided, one per week, so you can trackwhich foods are your personal headache triggers. Once you've figured that out,avoiding those foods permanently can be your ticket to a headache-free future.--Joan PriceBook Description

A good start
I thought this book was a great starting place when trying to eliminate migraine triggers.As other reviewers have said, the recipies do lack some things as far as being really healthy or having some triggers in the recipies.But it is a great starting point.Besides, most people don't react to ALL the triggers.

It was refreshing to find things I could eat in place of a list of what I could not eat.

Not Helpful
After reading Heal Your Headache by Dr. Buchholz, I was anxious to find a good headache-prevention cookbook.But I need a cookbook in which ALL the recipes are free of the commonly known food triggers.Isn't that the point?Well, this book has many recipes with known headache triggers.Apparently we are expected to know which foods are triggers for us and to then alter the recipes accordingly.Well, I'm tired of having to alter recipes!That's what I have to do all the time with regular cookbooks.I thought that this cookbook would be different, but I was wrong.I appreciate that some food triggers are avoided here, but what about all the commonly known triggers that ARE in these recipes, such as lemon juice, orange juice, and onions?I bought the book, tried 3-4 recipes (none particularly good), then threw the book away.

What about vegetarians?!
As a vegetarian, I knew I was taking a chance with this title.However, I had just committed to Dr. Buchholz's 1-2-3 Program for healing headaches & was eager to try it out.Needless to say, being a vegetarian isn't a good fit and sooo many of the recipes in the book contained the triggers I was supposed to avoid.Very disappointed!

Disappointing
My husband is trying to eliminate tyramines and other migraine triggers. I was hoping to find a cookbook that would help us create meals that tasted good, were healthy and safe.

This cookbook misses the mark on several fronts. The worst thing is that it takes a very conservative approach to what is safe to eat. Most recipes included items that we had concluded were not safe or were borderline (determined from researching several different reliable sources). In the initial stages of testing out whether or not tyramines are triggers it is especially important to have an inclusive list and not make exceptions.

The second factor were the recipes themselves. There was very little here that would allow you to make an actual meal and no guidelines on how you would do that.

Third, as another poster pointed out, the recipes are not generally healthy, high in fats and low in vegetables and fruits. This could be compensated for if the rest of the meal were healthy, but without any guidelines it would be difficult to do.

I am hoping to find another cookbook but in the meantime I have been adapting recipes with quite a bit of success. Maybe I'll write a cookbook when I'm done!

A great book for headache sufferers
I had headaches almost daily for about 30 years and FINALLY did something about it.Between this book and the "1-2-3 Program" book, I've eliminated about 98% of my headaches - headaches I thought were incurable.

With almost any headache prevention book, you will be told to go on an elimination diet to rid yourself of foods that can trigger headaches.This book has many recipes for folks like us (you're reading this because you have headaches, right?)

For a life with significantly reduced pain, the price of this book is negligible.Buy it, you won't regret it. ... Read more

I thought I knew it all!
I have had migraines for over 20 years.I thought I knew it all and could write the book on migraines, but this one actually taught me some new tricks!I have shared it with 3 other people and even bought it for my sisters who suffer from migraines.

Finally some Relief!
After living with Migraine Disease for 22 years (I am now only 26) this book has provided me with some answers.I have been suffering from chronic daily headache for the past four years.I picked up this book one weekend and could NOT put it down.Within a week, I was on the recommended Web sites, found a recommended doctor in my area and got in to see him.I've been headache-free for 2 days now!That might not seem like much to some people but to me, it feels like forever!Thank you Teri!

If you or someone you love suffers from Migraine Disease - you need this book!
This is the book that changed my life! It gives you comprehensive information, guides on how to help yourself in an ER situation, doctors that don't listen, and how to get the best care possible for yourself or your loved one.

Teri writes with such knowledge and compassion. Every single medical term is explained. She speaks from the heart and you can tell this book was a labor of love.

Thank you Teri! You helped me get my life back!!

There's hope; you are not alone!
I enjoyed this book far more than I expected.Since the author also experiences migraine attacks, she writes with a great deal of empathy for the sufferer.Reading the stories of the author and others who have experienced attacks at least as frequent or as "bad" as mine reassured me that I am not alone.This book makes two main points:Nearly all migraine patients can be helped, and we should not settle for inadequate medical care.I recommend this book to anyone who experiences migraine attacks, or who cares about someone who does.The book provides both information and encouragement.

A Good Resource For Headache Sufferers
I have dealt with migraines for more than 15 years with varying degrees of success.I recently had a resurgence of migraines when I moved to a new part of the country with an extensive new collection of allergens to exacerbate my asthma. In the process of expanding all my sinus cavities, the migraines started up again.I THOUGHT I had figured out all of my triggers and found a way to avoid them and finally dealt with the debilitating pain.I was wrong.

Ms. Robert's book offers extensive information about the nature and causes of Migraine and other headaches.She offers advice and suggestions that have worked for her and many others and cautionary tales as well.While not being a health practitioner herself, she advocates for them as well as their patients.

My only vexation with this book is that while reading it I felt as though I should be jumping onto some band wagon of "Migraineurs" and perhaps should belong to a political action group or some Million Migraineurs March because of a diagnosis.While I understand the need to normalize a disease diagnosis and make idividuals feel like part of a group and supported but perhaps it goes a bit over board for some. ...
