for use with migraines.
Frustrated, Glickenhaus went to his
ear, nose and throat specialist one
more time and the doctor referred him
to a neurologist. After listing his
symptoms, the neurologist told him
he had classic migraine symptoms,
gave him a prescription and a list of
foods to avoid.
Glickenhaus filled the prescription,
but he also fired up his computer.
Once logged onto the Internet, he did
a search of everything available on the
newly relevant feverfew.
"I went into Yahoo and a couple of
other search engines and typed in
feverfew for migraine headaches,"
-Glickenhaus says. "I looked under
herbal medicine, checked out Dr.
Weil's site and several other places."
What he found was consistent, pos-
itive information that convinced him
it was worth trying. Then he did a
search of companies that sold the
herb. He found some who sold the
right potency and type and ordered a
couple of bottles by mail. It's been two
months and he hasn't had a severe
headache since. The few flare-ups he
has had have been mild and easily
overcome with some stronger prescrip-
tion medication.
With that success, Glickenhaus has
continued to research options online
for other medical problems. He's been
delighted with the results.
As we were speaking, Glickenhaus
was typing up a letter to his neurolo-
gist, sending him information on
feverfew and encouraging him to look
into it for his other patients. What
started out as an intimidating technol-
ogy proved to be a remarkable tool,
helping Glickenhaus be more proac-
tive in solving his medical problems.
And companies now on the Web
understand that there are thousands of
people like Glickenhaus who are inter-
ested in learning more about their ill-
nesses — and the options they have in
overcoming them. Where to start is
usually what people new to the
Internet find overwhelming. But there
is a variety of useful search engines
and other jumping-off points that can
lead to a simple and successful search.
Start with the big-time search
engines: Lycos and Excite. Excite
(wwvv.excite.com ) has what they call
their Health Channel. With Lycos
(vvww.lycos.com), click on Health and
you'll get a page with options like
Health News, Eating & Exercise and
Health Care. The options are endless. ❑
