1. Hot diggity! Botulism toxin now used for more than cheap facelifts!

2. Never heard of that.

But a friend of mine saw a Chinese herbalist about migraines. He prescribed some herbs from her that took care of her migraines completely.

10. I don't know.

I'll have to ask her about it. This was about 4 years ago, I guess.

3. Good idea.

Some migranies are triggered by tension headaches that begin in the neck area. Mine certainly are.

4. Yep. I just wrote an article about it. Been around about 4 years.

It is for those that can't get relief with anything else.

I can send you the article. It's going to be published this month.
