Product 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. |

Amazing success!! 
Upon a friend's recommendation, I gave this book to my sister-in-law who has had headaches constantly for over 40 years. It took a few weeks, but it has changed her life. She has used it for almost 3 months now and only gets headaches a couple of days each month. Now she is mad when she gets them, for she knows what life can be like without them. Also the headaches are different, still bad, but they are in different places in her head. It turns out her main trigger is gluten, which she only discovered after 6 weeks of being better but not really great. The doctor mentioned that this is a possibility for some people. She and her husband are thrilled because she has been to clinics, taken tons of heavy-duty medications, tried so many things. She has not even had an aspirin in over two months. We are all thankful to have found this book.

The best way to help yourself
As someone suffering for years with migraine, I too was at the end of my rope. My migraine episodes (sometimes lasting for days, sometimes 1/2 the month) forced me to give up my job, were making me depressed (I entertained thoughts of suicide), and were ruining my family life ( I have two young kids). After having read this book, I started following a *very* restricted diet right away. I cut out everything listed in the book, plus soy and all soy products (you have to be very aware, and very good at reading labels for this one - it's everywhere). Although in the book he says that he is 'unsure if soy is a trigger' - let me tell you it's a HUGE one for me. One thing this only just touched on in the book is the role of estrogen (and xenoestrogen) in triggering migraine. I believe that I also suffer migraines due to 'estrogen dominance'. I urge all women migraineurs to look in to this in addition to diet restrictions. I got rid of all perfume containing things in my home, changed detergents, shampoo, and got rid of all things that contain xenoestrogens (vaseline, etc). I also use a bio-identical, natural, paraben-free progesterone cream. In a period when I normally would have suffered upwards of 20 migraines, I have had only 3 (all my own fault - brought on by running for too long, eating pepperoni, and flying - changes in barometric pressure). I would recommend this book to anyone still suffering with migraine. There really is something that can help you. Please remember to follow the restrictive diet to the letter in order to achieve results. It's hard work to cut all the trigger-food out of your diet, but the rewards are amazing! I wish everyone good health.

You Can Plan Your Life Again: It really does work
I came across this book on the Amazon website last year in October. I have been suffering from migraines for about 20 years, which were worse around my menstrual cycle. I had a headache every month and they were bad enough to last for up to 4-5 days. My husband was having to take time off of work each month to look after our two preschool children. When I was pregnant with my first child, I suffered from headaches daily for the first 6 months of pregnancy and had to be written off of work for this period of time. After the children were born, we planned whatever activities we did around the dates when my migraines would occur. Our lives were dominated by my headaches. One day my 3 year old son asked my husband, "What is that black thing in the bedroom?"- referring to me kneeling on the floor unable to cope with the pain.
After reading the book in 2007, I stopped drinking tea and coffee immediately. I suffered a terrible rebound headache that lasted for about 10 days. I then waited to see what would happen at my time of the month; I didn't have a headache and could not believe it. Since following the advice in this book, my husband has not had to take any further time off of work. The headaches that I get now are all to do with whether I have followed the diet or not. They are not nearly as severe and respond to medication right away.
It is now August 2008, and I have just had the first bad migraine since following the diet. The reason for this headache was due to drinking rooibos tea which I was using as a substitute for regular tea. For some reason, I had a bad reaction to this tea and realize that it is better keeping to herbal tea.
This book has saved our family life and I am so grateful to Dr. Buchholz for giving me an escape route from agony. It is with great pleasure that I do not pay much attention now to my time of month and if I do get a twinge of pain, it goes quickly.
I highly recommend this book to any migraine sufferer and add my positive comments to the many others who have found this book to be so helpful. I have also mentioned it to my doctor and she said that she would suggest it to her other migraine patients. If you are in any doubt that this diet will work, try it and see whether it does or not. It will be an experiment well worth trying.

This program works
I first saw Dr. Buchholz 12 years ago for severe headaches. I had been to numerous doctors and had tried many things including sinus remedies, acupuncture and Imitrex injections. With every failed treatment, I felt physically and emotionally worse.
It took me awhile to buy in to Dr. Buchholz's program but I was desperate so finally gave it a try. After 2 weeks I felt better and after two months I was having only minor headaches. Four months after starting the program, my headaches were almost completely gone. Over the next seven years, I was able to re-introduce many foods with little headache recurrence.
When my father passed away my headaches returned but this time with a number of new symptoms including terrible neck and face pain. I read this book and immediately knew what was going on and what to do about it. Again, within a matter of weeks, I was able to get my headaches under control.
Dr. Buchholz is a brilliant doctor and this book is invaluable to anyone who suffers from any type of headache. Dr. Buchholz not only thoroughly and simply explains how the migraine mechanism works but he provides simple, logical steps for healing yourself. The book is a wonderful resource - I highly recommend it.
