All of us at MAGNUM are thrilled to be joining forces with The HealthCentral Network, specifically MyMigraineConnection and Teri Robert, to speak to the issues that are so vital to all Migraineurs. We look forward to a long partnership in bringing you the best information possible about Migraine disease, living with it, and advocacy efforts to increase public awarness of Migraine as the genetic neurological disease that it is.


About MAGNUM

M.A.G.N.U.M.: Migraine Awareness Group: A National Understanding for Migraineurs, was created to bring public awareness utilizing the electronic, print and artistic mediums, to the fact that Migraine is a true biologic neurological disease, to assist Migraine sufferers, their families, and coworkers, and to help improve the quality of life of Migraine sufferers worldwide. The objectives of MAGNUM, also known as The National Migraine Association, include educating Migraineurs about trigger mechanisms and the latest medical treatments, challenging misinformation that Migraines are a psychological, stress based condition, directing Migraineurs to quality medical facilities, and addressing the public health impact of the disease. MAGNUM was formed to fight tremendous public ignorance and prejudice about Migraines due to years of misinformation about the disease.

 

Recently MAGNUM learned that our main website www.migraines.org had won three new awards. MAGNUM won the first "2007 Outstanding Website" award issued by the Disability Network, Inc. In addition About.com Health websites issued MAGNUM websites the "Best of the Net 2007" award.

 

MAGNUM was also selected as the internet's top Migraine & headache website by Dorland Healthcare Information. They are a major health publisher & leader in healthcare business information for the past 50 years. According to an article about the DHI award, it was the result of an experienced staff of physicians, medical editors and website analysts, who reviewed thousands of health websites for the top 60 diseases & conditions. A series of books was then published detailing the top health websites to help patients, physicians, and others about those selected illnesses. "The series contains the most reliable information from a trusted and independent third party source," noted a recent article.
