In recent years, I believe Doctors and Dentists have become more accepting of the fact that some people genuinely DO feel pain at higher levels than others.  Not so in the past!  I recall only too clearly the impatience of various health professionals who were not willing to consider the fact that I needed almost 3 times the usual level of anesthetic to be rendered  painless. Even so, I was partly conscious during one operation - not a pleasant sensation, i can assure you!

So for me it is doubly interesting to come across this recent research from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, which shows definite changes in the brain of people who have migraines - as I did for many years - changes which result in a greater sensistivity to pain, and to noise (count me in on that one, too) .

What new mighty drug is this? What strange chemical rising on our horizon?  What magnificent new discovery?

Ta dah!  Resveratrol.  But not as we know it, no - a PATENTABLE form of the extra-condensed synthetic molecule, which as we know is where the money is.  And also, all too often, the side effects ... the developers point out that it would take 1,000 glasses of red wine to equal the resveratrol found in just one pill. ...  let's wait and see what the hangover is like.

Develop wisdom, health and age together:  drink red wine or take Resveratrol, the plant.
