5.0 out of 5 stars Headache cure, April 25, 2001

By	Tom Smith (Brooklyn, New York) - See all my reviews

After suffering with migraine headaches since I was in my late teens, I gave up all hope that a fix can be found for them. I've been to many doctors but without a clear understanding of chronic headache I was not motivated to stick with my treatment (I was not confident that anything would have help) "The Headache Soucebook" has given me a new-found confidence that I know exactly what I'm dealing with! Now...I can understand what my doctor means by "prophylactic" and "abortive" treatments! Now I am motivated to stick with taking a pill everyday. Now I am committed to treating these demoralizing headaches. I highly recommend this book. It is well written in clear language with the average person in mind. Everyone can learn from the very practical tips Dr. Paulino and PA Griffith lays out in these pages. Their experience with treating headaches shows. This book is a must-buy for the headache sufferer, his/her family, and friends. I'll be sharing this book with my internal medicine doc!

3.0 out of 5 stars Book omits a VITAL migraine food-source, October 28, 2002

By	minni (USA) - See all my reviews

What you don't know CAN harm you! The reason I'm reviewing this book, is because I think it's terrible the way so many people may be suffering needlessly from headaches, laryngitis & more without even realizing that food cooked with NON-SAUTEED RAW ONIONS (OR GARLIC) can be causing their problems. The Headache Source Book fails to mention one word about this. I've been such a victim of lack of info, and it has caused me too much suffering (horrific colds & also headache) to forgive this omission on the part of the publicists. ...
