Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
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.
