(loosely based on a true story)

Straight Talk on Posture!
By Dr. Reuven Bruner, Ph.D.

I have spoken about migraines in the past, but I will answer a reader's questions on this subject. We used to think migraines were caused by spasm of blood vessels but we now know differently. Indeed they are caused by a complex release of hormones that act on the brain to cause that deep, boring headache.
