Product Description
Synopsis
Millions of people around the world suffer from migraine headaches. Some use medications to dull the ache, while others choose to simply bear the pain. Over the years, a number of drugs have been developed to treat migraines; however, these treatments don't work for everyone. Furthermore, they come with a high risk of dangerous side effects. Fortunately, Dr. Jay S. Cohen - physician, medical researcher and professor of medicine - has discovered an alternative. Magnesium, an effective drug-free option, offers a proven way to not only prevent migraines, but also stop them in their tracks. THE MAGNESIUM SOLUTION FOR MIGRAINE HEADACHES is a direct result of Dr. Cohen's research. This concise easy-to-understand guide explains what a migraine is; details how magnesium relaxes the nerves and blood vessels involved in migraines; and shows how this supplement can play a key role in preventing and treating migraine headaches. The book also describes why magnesium is as effective as drugs, as well as safer and less expensive; what type of magnesium works best; and how much magnesium should be taken to prevent or stop migraines.All of the information is backed by relevant scientific studies and interviews with leading experts in the field. For those who are looking for a safe and effective approach to the prevention and treatment of migraine and cluster headaches, Dr. Cohen prescribes a proven natural remedy in THE MAGNESIUM SOLUTION FOR MIGRAINE HEADACHES.

If you suffer from migraines and want to prevent them, rather than treat them, I recommend that you read this book. The author explains how insufficient magnesium can lead to a reduced blood flow to the brain, and how magnesium supplementation helps to prevent changes in the blood vessels around the brain which are thought to be involved in migraine. Six months ago, after reading this book, I began taking a supplement containing magnesium, vitamin B2 and the herb Feverfew and have not had a migraine since. Prior to taking the supplement I suffered up to two migraines with aura a week.

Migraine sufferers have to put up not only with the pain of their headache, but also with the inability of conventional medicine to do much about it. Drugs are potent, only work patchily and have nasty side effects.
This useful little book looks at one probable underlying migraine cause -- magnesium deficiency. Dr Cohen describes how up to 75% of Americans are deficient in this mineral and as a consequence are sick in many ways. Doctors are widely ignorant about magnesium and, in the pharma-culture that predominates, think of drugs as first resort rather than last.
Dr Cohen reviews many of the lifestyle factors that seem to provoke migraines, many of which deplete the body's magnesium stores.
Prudently, he does not claim that correcting the magnesium deficiency will cure all migraine headaches. However, he provides impressive evidence (evidence that your doctor will respect) that a high percentage of patients will get relief.
This eminently readable book has guidance on the types of magnesium available and how to find the right dose for you.
Of course, from the anthropological point of view, humans were not designed to have migraines or take supplements. As a nutritional anthropologist and author Deadly Harvest: The Intimate Relationship Between Our Health and Our Food, I would prefer people to restructure their lives, notably eating habits, so that migraines disappear. Having said that, for those migraine sufferers who cannot manage the complete program, the insights in this book could transform their lives.

A short, and to the point book. Unusual in that it is very easy to read and very personal - it is written often on the basis of his personal medical problems within his medical career - and very well researched and backed up with scientific references. I also have found the advice really does work. I had suffered for years with crippling headaches until I sorted my Magnesium deficiency problem. If you have headaches read this book. Guy
