By Sara Riley Mattson

With raw and tender honesty, Sara Riley Mattson shares her inspiring account of how she slowly pieced together what might have caused her illness. She also includes all the details of how she found her way back to health.Excerpt: "Three weeks after beginning this protocol and one week after what I consider my last real migraine, the average rainy Portland day quickly progressed to a rare thunderstorm. The cracks and flashes of the storm shook the house and reverberated threateningly, and, to my shock, I didn't feel a headache, much less a migraine, coming on. I waited for it to start, and it didn't. I stepped out onto our front porch, sat down on the stoop, and let the vibrations of the thunder pummel me. The fierce claps of the thunder, which would have torn through my brain just three weeks prior, seemed beautiful, powerful, and not at all painful. And I wept with joy. I walked out into the rain, sat down in my driveway, and let the rain drench me as my tears fell in relief that it was over."
