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

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. ...

Book Description
In 1983, Mike O'Connor opened the Bird Watcher's General Store on Cape Cod, which might well have been the first store devoted solely to birding in the United States. Since that time he has answered thousands of questions about birds, both at his store and while walking down the aisles of the supermarket. The questions have ranged from inquiries about individual species ("Are flamingos really real?") to what and when to feed birds ("Should I bring in my feeders for the summer?") to the down-and-dirty specifics of backyard birding ("Why are the birds dropping poop in my pool?"). Answering the questions has been easy; keeping a straight face has been hard. Finally, it occurred to O'Connor that if he answered these questions in print, he might be able to buy groceries in peace.

Why Don't Woodpeckers Get Headaches? is the solution for the beginning birder who already has a book that explains the slight variation between Common Ground-Doves and Ruddy Ground-Doves but who is really much more interested in why birds sing at 4:30 A.M. instead of 7:00 A.M., or whether it's okay to feed bread to birds, or how birds rediscover your feeders so quickly when you've just filled them after a long vacation. Or, for that matter, whether flamingos are really real.

"Mike O'Connor knows birds—I mean, REALLY knows them. He has been answering questions about birds for years, and he can deliver the straight scoop with a hilarious twist that makes it unforgettable. Reading this book is almost as fun as bird watching, and that's saying a lot!"
—Kenn Kaufman, author of the Kaufman Field Guide to the Birds of North America

"O'Connor's book delightfully answers almost any question one could ask about birds. I am impelled to declare that the Chesworth pen and ink drawings add a sprinkling of 'salt' to O'Connor's bird tales. This is a fun book to read, whether nibbled at a bit at a time, or in one large clump."
—New Hampshire Union Leader

"This is quite possibly the funniest bird book ever written. O'Connor has broken the mold of straight-laced bird books." —WildBird

Great for any level birder, fun and full of good advice
Mr. O'Connor runs a bird store on Cape Cod and writes a column about birds and birders for the local paper there, The Cape Codder. He answers the questions that people who shop in birder stores ask people who run the stores. Often the people who ask the questions are new to birding. Sometimes they are eighty years old and sometimes they are five years old. We've never heard a bad question from such people. How do I get birds to come to my backyard? What do I feed them? What kind of birds like peanuts? What is this "thistle" or "nyjer" you sell? If I leave my hummingbird feeders up too long will that keep the hummingbirds from migrating? How do I keep squirrels off my bird feeders? What are the best binoculars? What was that little brown bird that I had at my feeder last weekend? Mr. O'Connor answers them. He answers with wit and verve. His answers are accurate, humane and wise. This is a great book for anyone you know who is beginning to know birds. It is even a good book for a birder of any level.Best of all, you'll laugh out loud and heaven knows, we could all use some of that these days.

Funny and informative
This book was a "hoot" (excuse the pun).It had me chuckling out loud at the author's humorous answers to a variety of bird questions. While anyone would find this book entertaining, birders will especially enjoy it, for it is informative as well as funny.

Highly Entertaining
Perhaps the most entertaining book about birds ever written.This book is a collection of the author's newspaper columns entitled, "Ask the Bird Folks".These excepts discuss questions that the general public is concerned with, or that the author has repeatedly answered in his Bird-watchers Store on Cape Cod.Common questions such as,How do you squirrel proof your bird feeder, or If I keep the bird feeder full of food will the birds still migrate South for Winter, to more exotic ornithological questions.The author, Mike O'Connor, answers these questions along with some related facts usually couched in between some hilarious zingers thrown out at the questioner's expense.
All in all the book is a good balance of factual material with humor and a down-to-earth commonsense style.Kudos to the author.A very good book for short segmented reading opportunities.

Book Description
This is the first new book in many years to provide a comprehensive review of the latest theory, research, and treatment of chronic headaches from a biopsychological perspective. It is designed to make the tools of assessment and therapy widely accessible, while placing them in the context of how the disorders arise. The physiology and psychology of pain, and each disorder, are reviewed in an accessible manner. Clinical experience, laboratory data, and illustrative vignettes aid in treatment selection. A range of practical tools is incorporated. Clinical evaluation is reviewed in depth, including the interview, psychometrics, and psychophysiological assessment. Key sections of the 2004 International Headache Society diagnostic criteria serve as a mini diagnostic manual. Tables allow rapid look-up of the various disorders and their distinguishing characteristics; trigger point referral patterns; and the comparative merits of migraine medications. Blank headache diaries, appropriate for various stages of treatment, serve as models. A relaxation exercise is provided, as are muscle tension and hand temperature norms. Key terms are defined in the extensive glossary to help psychologists and medical professionals share vocabulary. Medical, herbal, and behavioral therapies are discussed in terms of the underlying science. Chronic Headaches is intended for healthcare providers, pain specialists, psychologists, researchers, and clinicians who study headaches in a variety of disciplines. This accessible, student-tested text is ideal for graduate courses on the psychology of pain and/or chronic headaches. Readers will gain expertise in headaches and a clear sense of how to translate this knowledge into clinical practice. ... Read more

An Extraordinary Work of Scholarship
As someone who works in the field of pain psychology, I can tell you that Dr. Borkum's book, Chronic Headaches, is a remarkable accomplishment.He has managed to put into one volume very nearly everything there is to know about headache--from the various types of headache and their associated symptomatologies to the full spectrum of medical and psychological approaches to managing headache pain.Even more astonishing is his thoughtful and comprehensive review of the outcome literature in behavioral medicine treatment research.This is a work that will prove essential to medical and psychological professionals who treat patients with chronic headaches, as well as to motivated patients suffering from chronic headaches who wish to acquaint themselves with the full range of treatment options.

Windows XP Headaches: How to Fix Common Problems in a Hurry
For a lay person who just started with XP Media Center Edition/Professional. I found this book to speak to the public in simple terms that any person can understand.

Excellent book!
This book is great - not only did it help solve some XP "headaches" of my own, but I learned a bunch of other stuff as well.The book contains headache after headache, tells you why the headache happens, then gives you steps to fix the problem.There are hundreds of headaches and solutions in this book!

all about lifestyle changes
If you are looking to cure your migraines, you may want to check this book out.Since my sister has been getting migraines for the last 16 or so years, I have been telling her some of these things to get rid of them.Now that I suffer them as often as she does, I can't say that I have practiced what I preached, but I do believe that Zuzana Bic has the right idea of prevention through changes to your lifestyle.Basically, eat better, reduce stress, and get regular exercise.But she goes into detail to help the reader understand the physiology of the migraine disease and how changing your lifestyle will effect your migraines.If someone just told me that I needed to change these things, I would want to know how this would work.This book tells you.I do plan to follow her advise, and I like that it is not an elimination diet.

Migraines for 30 years, until reading this book!
This book is amazing! I had migraines for 30 years until reading this book. Over the years I tried every drug on the market, ending with Imitrex then Amerge. Even with Amerge I started half of all my days with a migraine. Now I have control over them and I no longer have them. Don't think that because you already eat well and are not overweight that the book won't help. I ate a good diet and wasn't overweight... I still had migraines and the book explained why. The Publishers Weekly review statement that "Their program, however, may seem too simplified and too general for longtime headache sufferers" is way off base! It's exactly what long term headache suffers need!

It really works
This is a very comprehensive book onheadache prevention that ties togheter all the different lifestyle factors like food/nutrition, physical activity, and stress. And what is even better as that every tip and everystrategy given by the authors to achieve a gradual lifesytyle modificationactually works in practice.

My doctor was wrong!
My doctor always told me that nutrition had nothing to do with headaches. Was he wrong! I modified my diet as recommended in the book - less fat, less sugar, more complex carbos, etc. Two weeks later my headaches weregone; After all these years of suffering needlessly. I just could notbelieve the improvement. I am free ...

very helpful for the migraine sufferer
This book is one of the better ones I have read on the subject.It is more up to date than some of the other ones out there which is great if you're looking into some of the newer meds (both preventative and acute).The book gives the reader a good overview of migraine and it's history without going too deep into it that the reader stops reading before she gets to the "good stuff".This isn't one of those books that recommends a plan for getting rid of the migraines, rather it is a very informative one that touches on both drugs and alternative ways of treatment.I really like that it was written by two directors of a headache clinic.

An outstandingreference for headache sufferers!!
An exceptional book!!! A definite "must have" for any headache sufferer.Drs. Young and Silberstein have produced an extremely well written book. "Migraine and Other Headaches" speaks directly to the average reader, with all essential terms spelled out in detail. The use of case studies, tables, and illustrations also aid the reader in their understanding of various concepts.
From the fascinating history of headache to the description of countless headache types and therapies, this comprehensive text captures the essence of headache management.
Two leading experts in their field, the authors stress the doctor/patient relationship as a partnership. This type of partnership can provide the patient with a sense of empowerment to take some control of their headaches.This reader firmly believes that a pleasant working relationship with their physician is crucial, particularly in headache management.
Throughout the text, lifestyle changes have been incorporated as well as recommendations for maintaining daily routines. Additionally, medical therapies, such as various medications and their uses are fully examined.Alternative therapies are explained in detail as well, from herbs and supplements to acupuncture and relaxation techniques.
This publication is also an excellent resource for family and friends of headache sufferers. Taking the time to read this book will hopefully provide some insight into their loved one's pain and difficulties.
I highly recommend this book as an enhancement (or even a beginning) to any "headache library".

Not as casual as most on the topic
Drs. William Young and Stephen Silberstein's Migraine And Other Headaches is not as casual as most on the topic: it provides a medically-based analysis of the causes of different types of headaches, defines different migraine experiences, and differentiates between severe headache, tension headache, and migraine. While the reading in Migraine And Other Headaches isn't as easy as some self-help guides on the topic, the focus on uncovering the source of symptoms and various treatment options makes this medical handbook an excellent guide for sufferers seeking better care or more information.

One of the finest, a must-have book!
Up-to-date, comprehensive, full of information, yet totally readable. For anyone who experiences headaches or Migraines, this is a must-have book. The authors have achieved the right tone and level for this book, providing information explained at just the right level for patients. THANK YOU! ... Read more

headache free- finally!
I can't recommend this book highly enough...It has changed my life. My family and friends have never seen me go a month without a headache....I am so happy, and it's like an entirely new life.

If you've tried magnesium before (like I did) but it didn't work for you, you may not have understood how much you need to take and why. Once I read this book, I made connections between a whole slew of problems/triggers.

I used to take Imitrex at least twice a week. I haven't taken one in a MONTH. I had two small headaches that asprin killed....and I also worked out heavily and did a few other things that usually bring on migraines.

Not one yet.

I expect to still get a few, but honestly I can say I am just beginning to see what I've been missing all of these years.

Please, please try this book. I do not know the author in any way. I just hate to think of anyone suffering needlessly after the relief I've achieved so far.

In order to give full disclosure, I ordered another book with the migraine diet in it at same time. I had been on that diet before, but not understood how tracking the foods worked. Two weeks after starting the magnesium supplements, I started the diet as well. I am off Diet Coke and all MSG. However, I had migraines when I was a kid, long before I ate or drank that kind of junk. I think all of this (mg and diet) helps to significantly improve the migraine threshold.

When I feel a headache coming on, I've taken the magnesium as he suggested and it has vanished.

Thank you for this book! It is the best money I've ever spent.

great book
This book makes a lot of sense and opened my eyes to Magnesium as help for migraines. I have been taking Migrelief for a while now (it did help reduce the number of migraines for me) but thought the key benefit in it comes from Feverfew. Having read this book, I realized it may be magnesium that is really helping. I started taking Migrelief more regularly and supplementing with additional magnesium on high trigger days (e.g. rainy) and I am experiencing improvement.
I don't know if magnesium alone is a solution (I am also following diet and other recommendations from the "Heal your headache: 1-2-3 program" book), but I think it is worth trying and the book offers some good info.

Thank you, Dr. Cohen
I have been a chronic daily headache sufferer for 6 years.The first breakthrough for me was reading Dr. Buchholtz's book Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Pain.It helped me identify my triggers, it helped more than all the neurologists, alternative doctors and chiropractors combined, but I still had a headache about 15 days out of the month.Then I read Dr. Cohen's book and started taking 800mg of magnesium and this seems to be the last piece of the puzzle for me.I haven't had a headache since starting it a month ago, which hasn't happened in 6 years.

Another interesting thing, I started giving my 12 year old son magnesium too and the facial tic that he has had for years stopped.The neurologist had given him an MRI and said his brain was fine, but he had Tourettes syndrome and would need medication when the tics became too pronounced.I looked into the "dopamine inhibitors" that they were going to give him and they were pretty scary big time drugs.I'm so grateful that we won't need to put him on these drugs now.It's amazing how little doctors know about magnesium deficiencies.

My whole family is now taking magnesium, and we all feel better in different ways.Thank you, Dr. Cohen!

Good Luck to all you headache sufferers, I hope this is your answer too.

THE BEST NATURAL AND SAFE TREATMENT EVER! A 10 STAR BOOK!
THIS BOOK HAS GIVEN ME MY LIFE BACK! Before I read this book and tried the natural and easy treatment, I had migraine headaches and shoulder problems 5 out of 7 days of the week. In fact, I rarely had a day that I did not suffer from headaches and this went on for over 30 years! Since I have read this book and followed the easy to follow treatment program in it, my headaches are now fewer and fewer and milder and milder. Before this book and following it, I had to go to bed in a dark room when I had a severe headache and could not do anything but rest for days at a time. Now, I have my life back! And I truly believe that in time, continuing to follow this program, I will be pain free just about everyday. This is a very easy to follow book and it really works! If you have problems with migraines or any type of headache or even shoulder pain etc, I suggest you buy this book. It could be the best money that you ever spent on yourself. For me, the money that I spent on this book is worth every penny! Note that while I was reading this book, I also went on to research how stress is a MAJOR FACTOR with people who experience headaches and other types of pain and I have learned that STRESS is a MAJOR factor in most people with headaches, especially migraine headaches. Magnesium has not only prevented more headaches in my situation, I am now much more relaxed and do not have the shoulder and muscle aches or the migraines now.

Magnesium works on headaches!

Good advice!
I got this book because I had been to a neurologist for over a year yet still had 15 days of migraines a month.When I eliminated the food items listed as possible triggers, then added them back slowly as the author suggests, I found my triggers and was able to get down to just 2 or three days of migraines a month.

Thanks Elaine, this really helped!
This book offers a ton of practical information for people who suffer from the 6 common types of headaches. My whole family shared the book. I suffer from hormonal headaches and found that information very helpful while another family member has migraines and is currently filling out her headache diary included in the book) so she can better understand what her triggers are. I loved that there were lots of lists and tips as well as reader-friendly answers to complicated medical questions. I've tried a handful of the recipes so far and they offered tasty and easy to make alternatives to favorite foods that have been identified as potential headache triggers. The reason there are different lists of foods for the different headaches is because each type of headache has different foods to choose and foods to lose. I recommend this book highly! It really helped two people in my family.

still hungry
This was a disappointing book to me.I was excited to think I had found a book that would help me build a diet of items that were 'safe' to eat.This book, however, gave the typical lists of what not to eat.It is also pretty confusing because one page will list good foods to eat, for example, that are high in magnesium but includes standard trigger foods such as chocolate and nuts that are noted on other pages as being possible problems.It is like the author just copied the list from somewhere and didn't even bother to note which items are thought to be triggers for migraines. The book also has, in my opinion, a too light-hearted feel to it.I was hoping for some solid advice on what to eat in a no-nonsense tone...but didn't find here unfortunately.Maybe I would like the book better if I tried a few of the 21 recipes.I was just hoping for more than a "Peachy Cake" (one of the 21 recipes) book. ...

Great review of headaches and migraine in particular
I am an otolaryngologist (aka ENT doctor) who sees a lot of patients with "sinus headache", most of whom have migraines.Although this book is presumably written for the lay person, and does a nice job for that audience, I have highly recommended this book to many doctors in training, and for physicians who see migraine patients, but may not have a lot of personal experience or professional experience with treating migraines.Its very readable, concise, and practical.I'm going to buy a couple of copies for my students to use while they are working with me!

One of the very best!
Anyone who experiences headaches and Migraines or knows someone who does needs some good books about headaches and Migraine in our libraries. This book is a quite worthy addition to anyone's library. Written "for general readers," the book is, "a comprehensive overview of causes, diagnoses, and treatments" written in a logical, easy flowing style. You'll find it complete, up-to-date, and easy to understand. Bravo! ... Read more

Book Description

Approximately ten million children are living with chronic pain. Most people would be surprised at such numbers, but for the parents of these children, the challenge of helping a pain-stricken child live a normal life is a frightening and frustrating reality. Chronic pain in children can manifest as abdominal, migraine, or facial pain. It also stems from a wide variety of disorders such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and childhood cancers. No matter what type of chronic pain the child suffers with, a parent must be armed with an understanding of how a child's expression and experience of pain differs from an adult's.

Trained in pediatric anesthesia and intensive care at Boston Children's Hospital, Dr. Elliot Krane has devoted his entire professional life to refining and innovating techniques, strategies, and therapies to relieve the suffering of children with pain. In his book, Relieve Your Child's Chronic Pain, parents will find the information and tools they need to get the very best care for their child. It will help you:

• Recognize, measure, and evaluate your child's pain properly

• Learn about the many alternative pain-management approaches that can be used at home

• Dispel fears about addiction if your child is prescribed a narcotic

• Find an appropriate pain-management clinic for your child

• Reduce the stress and anxiety in the home in a way that benefits the entire family

You may not always be able to eliminate chronic pain entirely, but you can succeed in minimizing your child's suffering.
