About

In early 2002, I began experiencing daily migraines. Since that time, I’ve learned a lot of surprising things:

  • I’ve actually been experiencing migraines since I was 16, which was, well, let’s just say a LOT of years ago.
  • The difference between a headache and a migraine.
  • The surprising ingredients that are found in fragrances.
  • There is NO regulation of the fragrance industry.

I started this blog because I wanted to raise awareness about the health risks of today’s moderns perfumes and fragrances. Along the way, I’ll be discussing other topics of import to me. I hope that you’ll enjoy what your read, and sometimes laugh (at the funny parts).

And now for some weasel words to keep the lawyers at bay:

I’m not a doctor, I don’t even play one on TV. I do have a background in Biology, and a lifelong devotion to learning. And I’m pretty good at figuring things out - cause and effect.
BUT, anything I’ve written here is to tell you about my experiences and what has worked for me. It isn’t advice. I’m not telling you to do any of these things. Do some research, talk to your doctor and reach your own conclusions.

The must be nation a wide problesm with fragances because I to am having these same problems at work. I have asthma but the fragances make it worst. The flower base in all colognes, gels, perfumes are very harmful to our health. I would like to get in touch with Susan McBride to know how and what she did to weather her storm with fragances. Most people are only for themselves and caring about others
