2 The Big Problem
ОглавлениеIn every country in the world, there are millions of people suffering from migraine (severe and throbbing headache that affects, generally, on one side or a part of it and often accompanied by photophobia and vomiting) and different types of headaches. In my country, Spain, about 5 million people are affected by the headache. In the United States there are more than 30 million affected. And Mexico is the Latin country with the highest incidence of the continent, there are some 20 million affected. They are following him on the continent: Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia ...
Can you imagine how much suffering is suffered every day in the world because of this?
In general, it is estimated that between 18-12% of women and 8-6% of men suffer (varies according to statistics), and also an undetermined number of children. It is the most frequent pain, the one that takes longer to diagnose and also the most disabling. It supposes a multimillionaire cost for the public health and a lost profit in the economy impossible to calculate. Almost half are undiagnosed, and self-medication is the norm. In short, a scenario of endless suffering that affects millions of people every day around the world and has various causes.
In this book I will talk about my solution although I know that it is very particular and that, since there are several causes of this disease, each one must identify theirs. Even so, my antimigraine strategy can be very useful to everyone. If the experience of success that I have experienced can serve some millions of people, my life will have made full sense. I am moved by the pain in others because I know what it entails at first hand.
If this is not your problem, keep reading because the Big Problem is much bigger (it goes beyond migraine) and affects everyone to a greater or lesser degree (or sooner or later). If your head does not hurt, great, but surely you want to preserve your health and prolong your youth.
That's precisely what this book is about.
And I will surprise you.
