Independent publisher Life Style Productions has just printed a new book on headaches titled POWER OVER HEADACHES. The book is a guide written in lay terms to help the headache suffer understand the most common cause of headaches, plus much helpful information about simple methods to minimize or avoid them completely. Linda Fowler, author of the book & fellow migraine sufferer, began compiling writings on headaches as part of a mission to educate herself as to what causes such chronic pain. An overwhelming amount of medical research was discovered, with results that were dramatic. Some examples are: *Diet plays a critical part in a migraine sufferer's life; *Vitamins can be very effective in reducing pain for a migraine sufferer; *Women whose headaches coincide with their menstrual cycle can combine a diet/vitamin treatment with anti-inflammatories & yield dramatic reduction in headache pain; *Relaxation techniques are also very beneficial for reducing headache frequency; *Feverfew, an herb widely used in Europe, studied at Purdue for its headache-preventing properties -- & can be purchased at local health food stores. ISBN 0-9654001-0-7. Price: $15.95. The author is selling books via mail order. 1-800-565-6965. Printed by Vanard Lithographers, San Diego, CA.
