Hi out there in Migraineur's Cyberland,

does anybody know anything about the med that is known a "Head On" that you rub on your forehead?

Thx, Bob

Teri looked into it once, and there were trace elements in it that are known to be toxic and can be absorbed through the skin. I don't recall what it was. Cadmium or something. I'd certainly never try the stuff for that reason alone.

I've been wondering about the claims in the advertisments. When nothing came up on the site search, I began to wonder why nobody had used it or reported.

I've tried it. Couple of years ago it didn't seem to do anything. I ran into it the other day and it seemed to help for the last few days, but with light HAs cycling up and down, it is very hard to tell the difference between results and cycles.

Thx, Droolie Thumbs Up

Hello all,
I hadn't heard that there was toxic stuff in Head On. I do use it often, with every migraine I get, along with an oral medication as well, of course! I would never not take an oral medication for a migraine. It helps to take the edge off the pain. Sometimes the pills I take don't work completely and I'm still hurting several hours later, but with Head On, it helps and makes my head feel good during the worst of the migraine because it's cool, but kind of warm at the same time (I know, confusing, but it's hard to explain). Anyway, I would think if there was toxic stuff in it, they wouldn't be selling it to the public. Plus, I'm still here... Hope my input helps!
