Black Currant Seed oil is good for migraines... it is a vessel dialator...(spelling again) (we need spell check)

good grief Craig, I haven't heard of anything you just listed. How did you come about this regiment of medicine? And I bet it's pretty expensive! Do you have to use all of that or just the ones you are on now? You'll have to cut and paste that and list it about once a quarter. By the way where do you buy this stuff. I don't think I have ever seen any of it in health food stores. But, I'm glad it worked for you. I've been hearing a lot lately about DHEA. Have you tried that? They say it really helps. Thanks for the info, Kathy
