One of my favorite places to be in Europe is atop the Zugspitze—the highest point in Germany. Standing on this 9,700-foot peak, you can’t help but marvel at the thought that you’re the highest person in the entire country—number one out of 82 million.

The Wonders of Epsom Salt
I can recall vividly—and count on one hand—the migraine headaches I’ve had in my life, all of which were before age 10. Once I turned double digits, I outgrew them … until a couple of months ago. With no warning at all, there I was back to my 8-year-old self, flat on my back with…
