Dr. Allan Purdy’s review of my new book

June 2, 2021

A publication of the American Headache Society, Headache, The Journal of Head and Face Pain, has just published Dr. Allan Purdy’s most generous review of my new book, The End of Migraines: 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain.

I am very grateful to Dr. Purdy and to my many colleagues who wrote endorsements for this book.

Self-publishing allows me to set a low price of $3.95 for the ebook version. It also makes it easy for me to regularly update it. Self-publishing, however, means that, unlike my previous three books, this one does not have the promotional help of a big publisher. If you read the book, please write a review on Amazon and spread the word to other migraine sufferers.
