Definition of Insanity...

Reprint from Dr. Ben Lerner, New York Times bestselling author of Body By God and One Minute Wellness.

The director of the pediatric headache clinic at the University of Maryland Hospital for Children in Baltimore says that at least half the young patients who come to see him suffer from chronic daily headaches. "These patients remain complex and perplexing," says Dr. Jack Gladstein, who founded the Maryland clinic in 1989. Often, it is a matter of trying various migraine medications. Among the most common are prescription drugs called "triptans," which are marketed under such names as Maxalt, Amerge, Imitrex, and Zomig. They're taken at the onset of a headache. Because chronic headaches often run in families, some doctors give their young patients drugs that have worked on relatives. Others also have found that antidepressants sometimes help, since depression can be an underlying factor. And some accompany the use of prescription drugs with acupuncture or botox injections to relax stiffened head and neck muscles. Doctors say it's also important that their young patients stay on a regular sleep schedule and avoid stress and skipping meals. Gohmann has tried all of it -- and says a new triptan medication seems to be helping. Still living at home because of the headaches, she's still hoping she'll be able to go away to college. In the meantime, she's discovered that several of her classmates -- and even some of her professors -- have trouble with severe headaches too. "We swap horror stories," Gohmann says. "It helps when people understand."

I once read a study on headache treatments that stated there are over 100 ways to treat headaches. One of those ways is with drugs.

As most people know, the definition of insanity is "Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result." So despite trying drug after drug and failing to get these poor sick children well from headaches, the ultimate solution to this article is that there are some "NEW" drugs that may help...try the same thing and expect a different result.

Of those 100+ ways of treating headaches, many are Chiropractic techniques. This poor person in the story is most likely only a few adjustments away from being able to go to college. Chiropractic is a safe, different, and therefore, sane solution to getting well and/or staying well.
