from migraines!
Headaches and migraines come in many
different forms, so isn't it save to assume, there are many different
problems involved, and that each problem is creating a different
type of headache or migraine? A
headache is your bodies way of telling you it has a problem and
it needs help fixing it!

doing to your own body, or something somebody else is doing to
your body without your knowledge.

even after you get a thorough examination by your Dr.:
the multitude of questions, a complete physical, neurological
tests, and a psychological evaluation... he may find no
obvious cause.

Migraines, Hormone Headaches, Retinal Migraine, Rebound Headaches,

Headaches, Typical Migraines and variations of each.
Prescription medication may not be the
answer either, since they are covering up the real cause by releiving
the pain you are feeling until the next one. Yet the underlying
cause is still there and ready to reemerge again and again. Is
it no wonder that the huge number of sufferers listed above still
exist?

similar to the amino acid tyrosine. It is found naturally in a
variety of foods and can produce migraines.

causing or aggravating migraines. A preservatave added to bacon,
hot dogs and other sandwitch meats.
