The Billionaire's Book of Headaches by Raeburn Forbes

What should you do about headaches if money was no problem?

The Billionaire's Book of Headaches is what leading neurologist Dr. Raeburn Forbes would say to someone for whom money was no object.

You need to benefit from the results of research. Try to understand headaches, and headache treatment, better. Research tells us what happens over a lifetime to people with frequent headaches, so you need to sort out your thinking and expectations first.

Then find out why looking for causes is a waste of time - it's not about curing headaches, but reducing risk.

Next you must avoid common mistakes with medicines. If you don't use them properly you get the side-effects but no benefits. Have a plan of action and stick to it.

You have to look at drug-free options. Apart from eye tests, most people overlook these. Drug-free options are safer - but as powerful - as any of the medicines on offer.

Last of all, discover the truth about migraine triggers. Dr Forbes talks about 'The Law of Migraine Triggers'. Is it time you broke this law?

At the end of the book there is even a section on what to do when it seems like nothing has worked.

This is a new approach to headaches that puts you back in control. You'll be lucky to get 15 minutes with your doctor to discuss headaches. If you know that you do not have a dangerous reason for headaches, this book could be a game-changer. So what are you waiting for?
