Relief from my vertigo.
Customer Rating: 




After many months of severe vertigo, trips to the local Emergency Room, and unanswered questions, finally a diagnosis of migraine. Frustrated with being told by my local Neurologist that I would have to live with the world around me in a constant spin, combined with uncontrollable vomiting and a severe headache, I was told by another physician about the book titled "Heal Your Headache". As a fellow health care provider I purchased the book and read it from cover to cover within a day. As I was under the constant influence of meclizine I thought what do I have to lose. I immediately started the diet and began to have at least a few days between episodes. After about three months I was down to one episode every three to four weeks. Being a nurse I knew that I had to get better control of these episodes if I wanted to continue to care for others. I continued the strict diet and was advised to add a preventive
medication, a tricylic antidepressant. I have been on the diet for 11 months and one medication at bedtime for 6 months. I know that this is a slow and realistic process. Yes, I have days when I want to cheat with the diet, but I know that the risk doesn't out way the benefit. As with many things in life we all want a "quick fix". I have found personally that in the field of medicine, a true answer is better than quick fix. I recommend this book to any one who is suffering from migraine symptoms. I have returned to nursing, and thank Dr. Buchholz for all his wisdom. My husband and I had the opportunity to meet with him personally for a consultation and found him to be genuinely concerned about helping me get better.
