If you suffer from migraines, you know from experience that prescription medication can only do so much to help relieve your suffering. You also know that your next headache could still strike at any time, and as a result, you may lead a life of fear and trepidation, never knowing when the responsibilities of work and family will once again fall victim to your throbbing skull. Unfortunately, despite the many advances in medicine, there is still no real cure for the migraine headache.

In The Migraine Miracle, a neurologist with a personal history of migraines offers readers the revolutionary dietary cure that has worked for him and continues to work for his patients: a diet low in wheat, sugar, and processed foods, and high in organic, protein-rich animal products. The book also explores the link between inflammation, diet, and migraines, and contains a 21-day meal plan to help readers change the way they eat. By following this easy meal plan, millions of sufferers will discover a life free from symptomsâ??once and for all.

The book includes comprehensive, research-based information that explains what the brain goes through during a migraine headache, the phases of the migraine, and how a diagnosis is made. It also explores the risks and benefits of migraine medication, natural remedies for migraines, dietary migraine triggers, and detailed, specific instructions for a migraine-free eating plan.

If you have tried migraine medicine but have not found real relief, it's time to try something new. By changing the way you eat, and understanding what foods can trigger your migraine, you can start feeling better longer, without the threat of a migraine always looming over everything you do.… (more)

Much of the information wasn't new to me as someone who's gotten migraines since childhood, but it was so validating to get a neurologist's explanations for many of the management strategies I had come to on my own. I really appreciated Turknett's hot air balloon analogy for how triggers work. I highly recommend this book both for people with migraines and for people without to understand just how much we have to deal with on a daily basis either trying to avoid or get through a migraine.

First chapter has a reasonable summary of tips on what works and doesn't -- worth reading for that alone. Most of the book is a description of a paleo diet, including recipes, and not really directly about the biology of headaches. ( )

This digital book was received from NetGalley for review.
There seems to be a deluge of information and research which points to nutrition and lifestyle as the root of all illness. Migraines prove to be no exception. The book written by a neurologist who has personal experience with migraines and provides easy to under dietary changes that can have lasting effects. This is for the serious migraine sufferer who is ready to take a holistic and dietary approach to ending their pain. ( )

A wealth of useful information from how to understand your headaches, to how to adjust your lifestyle and eating habits to avoid them. As a migraine sufferer myself, I found the information valuable and enlightening. Well worth the read even if you think you only get sinus headaches now and then. A great addition to anyones collection. ( )
