What disabling condition affects one in five Americans and is poorly treated with conventional medicine -- yet is nearly 100 percent preventable by addressing the underlying causes?

Migraines!

But these aren't just any headaches.

These severe, nearly disabling headaches can occur from once a year to three to four times a week. They can last from hours to days, creating suffering for millions of people. 

They are often associated with an aura, light sensitivity, nausea, vomiting, and severe throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head. They can even be associated with stroke-like symptoms or paralysis. 

And the cost to society is enormous.

Migraine headaches add $13 billion to $17 billion to our healthcare costs each year.

These costs include medications, emergency department visits, hospitalization, physician services (primary care and specialty), laboratory and diagnostic services, and managing the side effects of treatment.

Those are the direct costs from treatment. But migraines have indirect costs too.
