Since time immemorial, humans have suffered in its grip. Medieval Persia was a hotbed of intense debate over how to avoid and subsequently cure headache, and castor oil seemed to be prevalent as a remedy. Thankfully we have moved on. Darwin became a recluse because of his headaches, but on the bright side, this gave him more time to stay at home and think about the origin of the species. I doubt any modern human sees their headache as being a blessing, but it <i>is </i>trying to tell you something. How do we find out what that is? What is the point of pain?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"From ice cream headaches to migraine, this fascinating and entertaining account of a common curse draws together modern science, ancient views and personal experience." --<i>Professor Roy Taylor, author of Life Without Diabetes</i> <p/>"Most of us have experienced a headache at some point in our lives.
