This is a very comprehensive book on headache 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 every strategy given by the authors to achieve a gradual lifesytyle modification actually works in practice.

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 were gone; After all these years of suffering needlessly. I just could not believe the improvement. I am free ...

"No more headaches, no more migraines" is a good reading not only for those who suffer headaches. The book is an honest one and it doesn't promise an instant cure.It is an appeal to a reader's intellegence.I like the style this book is written in. It is a modest one, it let the solid argumentation speak for itself

This book is very different from anything I have seen before. First, it links together all the known headache triggers into one simple picture. It is now very clear to me how stress, prolonged hunger, caffeine, high-fat food, or smoking all cause the same biochemical imbalances in the body, which lead to headache. But, most importly, the book offers very specific strategies an how to gradually change your lifestyle to prevent headaches from occurring. Its a great recipe for a healthier living free of headaches!

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!

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.

Great advice. A well researched book about curing headaches and migraines thru life-style adjustments. Refreshing to see another avenue than the standard Advil, Tylenol, Aleve etc.

When you have a head ache your body is trying to tell you something.

Good Science! Great Book! Take the advice and follow it.

I recommended this book to a friend who used to get headaches daily. Now he just continues sending me "thank you" messages -- it must be a very useful book!!

I would say this book is very general in nature. We all know to eat better, exercise more, experience less stress, etc. Very common sense approaches to good health in general.

However, what the researcher mistakenly stumbled on while doing research in another area is..... having low circulating blood fat levels raises the threshold for headache triggers. This IMO, is the key to the book.

If you suffer from serious headaches of any type, try a very low fat diet for a week, say 10 grams per day of fat....and see how you react...the results are fast. If you suffer as long as many of us have, you owe to yourself to try this one simple, and safe suggestion. Its not easy getting down to 10 grams of fat per day, but eat lots of fruits, cereals with no fat milk, etc. Read Labels! Hopefully you will get good results, and continue to follow such a plan..

good luck..

Veru useful material! Great combination of theory and down-to-earth, common sense advice.
