Changed my life
I can't believe that none of my previous doctors, including several neurologists, never mentioned most of the advice I found in this remarkable book. Not only my migrianes are gone, my PMS symptoms disappeared. If I forget to take my supplements, after a few days both my migraines and PMS return.

Relief After 34 Years!
I have been a migraine sufferer for most of my life, and have explored treatment after treatment (both mainstream and alternative) to alleviate the frequency and severity. After reading this book 8 months ago, and beginning all the non-prescription supplements recommended by Dr. Mauskop, I can gratefully acknowledge that I have a tremendous reduction in the frequency of attacks! Until I had been on the supplements for 3 months, I had been getting 3-5 migraines each week, and loading up on Imitrex. I now have just a few migraines each month, which is something I had thought was an impossibility! Plus, when I do get a migraine, they tend to respond to half the dose of Imitrex I was taking in the past. In addition, while I had been aware of and adhering to the dietary changes recommended in the book for many years, and which I had discovered on my own, it was a relief to find out that there is a scientific basis to the changes I have made! This book is a must-read for any migraineur!

This book and its prescriptions greatly enhanced my health
If you get migraines, buy and read this book. I suffered from frequent and harsh migraines for 4 years. At their worse, they came twice a week with debilitating pain and vomiting. None of my doctor's prescriptions did very much for me. Finally, I discovered this book and began the recommended vitamin and mineral therapy. Within days, my migraines began to subside and after several weeks until now (9 months later), I simply don't get them any more. To be fair, I also do continue to take 2 prescription medications daily, but I believe most of the relief came from Mauskop's mineral/vitamin recommendations. I can't thank Dr. Mauskop enough for this book. I have literally gained 1 or 2 days back each week. I highly recommend that migraine sufferers read about and consider his therapy (Magnesium, Riboflavin (B-2), and the herb, Feverfew). See his book for exact amounts and timing, as well as his other recommendations. It may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. Take care, and good luck!
