Just published – The End of Migraines: 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain

January 17, 2021

My new book, The End of Migraines: 150 Ways to Stop Your Pain, was just published by Amazon. It is also available on Google Play and Kobo.
I am very grateful to all my colleagues who took the time to read the book and to provide advance praise for it.
This is a self-published book. This allows me to update it regularly and to set a very affordable price – the e-book version is only $3.95 and the paperback is $14.95. The e-book version has the advantage of having many hyperlinks to original articles and other resources.
If you read it, please write a brief review on Amazon or Google and spread the word about it.
