Editorial Review: Imagine curing migraines by merely altering a simple lifestyle habit. Even more, imagine this same lifestyle habit, something we take for granted as normal, can also cause Alzheimer's disease, impotence, stroke, glaucoma, sleep apnea, and more. There would finally be hope, real hope, for the countless millions who suffer from these conditions, and for their families and loved ones who suffer with them. It would be a dream come true. Well, the dream has come true! Get It Up! solves the mystery that has eluded scientists for over a century. We now know what migraines are, what causes them, why some people have them, and how they can stop having them. Get It Up! describes how to truly prevent and cure migraines by stopping the cause, as proven by results from the Migraine Relief Project. And the health implications go far beyond migraines.
Get It Up! explains in clear language how the brain works, what it needs to work well, and how it can become diseased by a simple lifest...

"Waste of Money", 2008-06-28
I have severe sleep apnea, which is why I purchased this book and it was totally ridiculous. Save your money because this book offers no alternative treatments for sleep apnea that work or are even worth considering.

lower your eye pressures, 2007-06-23
I have had high eye pressures for my whole life. Having high eye pressure can contibute to glacoma.My eye doctor has suggested laser eye surgery more than once.(not the fun kind either!)I had searched the internet for anything that could help me out and this was the only reference that came up.
I bought the book 6 months ago and worked the simple "solution" to my eye issues.My pressures were close to 30(29.5) after 4 months the left is down to 20 and the right 26.I am extremly happy to avoid and surgery or medication. Its also helped me with another problem listed in the book.
BUY THIS BOOK if you have any of these medical problems issues. Its a cheap easy solution.

amazing difference, 2006-03-10
i had a migraine for a month. i bought the book. by using a 14 inch wedge under my pillow and sleeping with my head raised--the headaches have almost completely stopped, immediately. the book explains the whys behind it, cranial pressure etc. it certainly worked quickly for me and i was at the point of desperation and prescription painkillers were not working. (i am not a kid but i like my privacy)

Yes, it works, 2003-06-19
My initial skepticism about this theory did not survive after reading the first few chapters. Disguised as a ridiculously simple lifestyle change, this is a major medical breakthrough.
Like an overwatered houseplant, the brain can suffocate if it's constantly bathed in too much blood and lymph. The connection to Alzheimer's disease and strokes is powerfully suggestive (but will take many years to prove conclusively.)
I'm not going to wait and see. I've been sleeping with my head elevated for a few weeks now and I'm delighted with the results. No more headaches in the morning! I used to get them often and they would last all day.
And when I take a nap now, the transition back to wakefulness is smooth and serene - unlike the sudden shock it used to be. Friends I've suggested this to have had similar results.
Finally, I'd like to commend the authors for their honesty in confronting the medical establishment. Many doctors have known for a long time about the benefits of head elevation to reduce brain edema, but there's no profit in teaching patients how to heal themselves. Simple remedies like this one could put many unscrupulous physicians out of business.
This discovery, combined with the one the authors have made linking bras to breast cancer, make them (at least in my mind) worthy of the Nobel Prize.

Funny Title - Serious Book, 2002-01-03
I read this book in connection with my sleep apnea, but also had in mind as I read a friend with migranes. The basic premise is that migranes may be caused by increased pressure in the head that is due to sleeping position (level or single pillow) and that it may be remediable by sleeping with an 8" - 12" wedge under the head-side of the bed. Sounds simple and perhaps too simple but the authors do a good job of explaining their position and showing their rationale, and they also cite a small study they have done that showed very positive results. For persons suffering from migranes that are not well-treated by conventional means, I would certainly recommend this book. The treatment approach is simple and inexpensive, and will not cause any harm if ineffective; if I had migranes I would certainly try it, and I will mention the book to my friend.
