Its a book -thats the title by a neurologist named David Bucholtz. I'm reading it now. Its actually very interesting. He talks alot about migraine, but don't write him off because of that. I got mine at B&N.

I'll pass on that one.

Quote:

In this thought-provoking book, Dr. Buchholz makes some excellent points, but readers should remember that, as he says himself, he's writing about his hypotheses. We should never blindly accept everything written in any book. While he makes some good points, including the importance of identifying triggers, he also makes some very rash statements that are in direct contradiction to large bodies of proven medical evidence and the experience of our own readers and forum members. Consider this a "buffet book." Take the good parts, and leave the rest.

I can tell you that he questions the "establishment" and how doctors view headache patients. So far I am impressed. I am sure he has ruffled feathers. He is on the faculty at Johns Hopkins and makes some interesting points about control and our feelings of loss of control with pain.
