Summary: Headache free and happy
Review: I have tried many different medications to treat my headaches; however, none of them have worked. The program presented in this book has not only prevented my headaches and eased my neck pain, but has increased my energy level as well. Thank you Dr. Buchholz.

Summary: Get back your life
Review: I have suffered from migraines most of my life. Over the past six years they have become much more frequent and severe. I have tried every natural remedy and prevention I could find. Finally I saw a neurologist who prescribed one of the new migraine medications. I began taking them 2x week. My headaches became more frequent over a four year period as many as 3-5 times a week. Then I found Dr. David Buchholz's book, "Heal Your Headache, The 1-2-3 Program." I stopped taking the prescription drugs, began a headache diet he outlines. I have my life back !! I can not tell you what a remarkable difference this program has made in my life !!

Summary: belief in life after migraines
Review: if you still believe in miracles, Santa Claus, the basic goodness of people, and physicians who can be "user friendly", you have to buy this book! it's written as if the author were a member of your own family, he speaks to OUR level, not more and for once, not less. He anticipates your very next question or response, almost to the point of having a "sixth sense". The book can change your life, but only if you're willing to make the effort to take the first step. He can chase the monsters away, and renew your belief in miracles, Santa, pain-free days and the hope of a brand new tomorrow. Your life can be changed and saved for yourself, and your loved ones. I cannot express it more highly than that.

Summary: So you want to get rid of your headaches
Review: This book is a must read for anyone who suffers from frequent headaches, even if they are relatively mild and have perhaps been diagnosed as "sinus" headaches, or severe headaches, the ones that most call migranes, or even the excruciating ones that this reader suffers periodically and are called cluster headache. The book is very well written in a smooth and easily understood style, the author, Dr David Buchholz, is a neurologist with the Johns Hopkins University Medical School, and is a people doctor who has devoted his practice exclusively to the diagnosis and treatment of headaches. He was indeed the first in a long string of doctors to correctly diagnose and successfully treat my headache condition. The book explains and offers a three-step program for healing your headache that involves avoiding certain over-the-counter drugs frequently taken for headache, especially decongestants and "sinus headache" preparations, avoiding certain foods that are headache triggers, and finally the use of certain drugs in the event that the first two steps are not quite enough. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Can't recommend this book enough
Review: I have suffered migraines all my life and so has every generation of women before me in my family (along with some men). We thought we were experts, but I learned so much more by this book. He pulls together all the different medical thought into one single, clear straightforward program. I have now been following his program for ten months and have cut my headaches from nearly every day to one-two a month. Following his diet is difficult at times, particularly when invited to friends' homes but manageable and just becomes an automatic way of life. His writing, drawings and explanations are clear and well-packaged. His side notes are interesting and useful. His writing style is light, sympathetic, personable and a quick, easy read. He did seem to like to go on about all the types of migraines that are misdiagnosed as something else, but this is minor. Once I started trying to follow his diet, I found I needed more advice, tips and detail on how to actually implement his program (i.e. how to substitute better foods, how to find what I could eat, how to go about reintroducing or testing what foods are my triggers). I tried looking at various Migraine Cookbooks but I couldn't find enough "how to tips" on the market and found it difficult to work these details out on my own. I have seen many doctors who have not come close to providing all the information he does in this book. So far this book has steered me towards a path that works.

Summary: Heal Your Headache
Review: FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS REALLY WORKS! BUY THE BOOK AND GIVE IT TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO SUFFER WITH HEADACHES! Dr. Bucholz explains triggers and one's response to them in easy to understand terms. My daughter suffered from daily migraines for 4 years, seeing her internist, pain specialist, infection control physician, accupuncturist, chiropractor, dentist--all to no avail. Once she followed these recommendations, she saw improvements in small ways quickly and within a couple of months, NO MORE HEADACHES! At first the restrictions seem overwhelming, but it truly is manageable. When you have lived with this kind of pain--it's nice to know that you can control certain triggers and find relief. Dr. explains the process very well and gives you all the information you need to follow the plan. The key is to follow it. Read and study it! Best of health to you!

Summary: The only book you need!
Review: I have had problems for about 4 years now. I've suffered with dizziness, balance trouble, ear pain, blurred vision and terrible headaches. I've been on so many drugs over the years and nothing really helped. When I read this book, I felt like Dr. Bucholz was talking directly to me. He is a wonderful doctor and really understands all the symptoms we headache sufferers endure. I found his program very helpful. While I still suffer mild symptoms, I am SO much better than I am before. Sometimes i slip up on the caffeine which I always suffer for later, so one really needs to pay attention to what is eaten on a daily basis. I believe the key is to always have foods that you can eat on hand and don't go hungry. Anyway, thank you Dr. Bucholz! This is the only book you'll need to beon your way to a better life!
