Summary: Sensible Approach To a Difficult Problem
Review: Dr. Marks, a Migraine specialist and his wife, a pediatrician and wonderful cook, make quite a team with this book. Normally elimination diets to determine Migraine triggers are grueling, but they have made it much easier. This is FAR MORE than a cook book. Dr. Marks offers expert insight into Migraine disease and coping with it. Thank you, Dr. Marks!

Summary: Words that Heal
Review: Heal Your Headache is a practical book with many insights about why people suffer from headaches. David Buchholz makes concepts easy to understand without pretending that he knows everything. This book really gives the reader the power to choose his or her destiny. Buchholtz sets the framework, backed up by medical wisdom and real life stories, to help the reader find out the cause of his or her own headache troubles. The charts showing what can cause headaches are perfect for quick reference. The sample menus in the back make preparing meals easier. I recommend this book to anyone who is a headache sufferer of any kind. Why go through needless tests when the power is in your hands?

Summary: Unhealthy Recipes
Review: I'm betting that the recipes in this book are tasty. They are full of fat, salt, and sugar. I had expected more from a couple of physicians. Part of getting rid of my headaches has been learning about proper nutrition. I've been learning to cook healthy foods. This book was a major step backwards for me, so I returned my copy. I would suggest finding Dr. Mark's list of foods to avoid, which can be found online, and just avoid those foods. Personally, I've avoided those foods, but significantly reducing my daily sodium intake was much more effective in reducing my daily headaches. Joel Fuhrman, M.D. says that sodium is very bad for headaches. He is the author of Eat To Live and is a board-certified family physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. Eat To Live is a must-have book about health and nutrition, in my opinion.

Summary: Medicine For Your Stomach
Review: Like most headache sufferers, I'd do anything to get rid of my migranes. While I knew that food had a big impact on headaches, I didn't know much about it. This book provides all the answers including which foods to eat and which to avoid. Then the book offers "headache-free" recipes which is a must if you like to eat many of the "banned" foods. The recipes I've tried so far have been outstanding and relatively easy to make. I can honestly say that, at least for now, I look forward to making something new every night. It was comforting for me that the book was written by two medical doctors including Dr. David Marks, a Yale educated headache specialist. I find that most non-medical solutions to medical problems come from nutritionists who lack the professional training and education of a doctor. While I don't believe food is the only source of headaches, understanding the food-headache relationship is important. The results speak for themselves...since reading this book, I've definitly had fewer and less severe headaches.

Summary: Disappointed with the content
Review: There are some really good recipes in the book but I was disappointed that so many recipes contain foods believed to be migraine triggers in them. If you are trying to restrict your diet completely from migraine triggers, most of the recipes will not meet your needs without many modifications.
