First of which, BOTOX has a long track record of safety and has been shown effective for many therapeutic purposes over the last 20 years. As for it being a poison, as the comment suggests it is but so also is Coumadin...and Coumadin has probably saved thousands of lives. Used correctly, BOTOX can be a very effective means for addressing headaches. While I appreciate this article, a few things need to be pointed out.

But are still consumed because such reactions are rare. To me it's heartening that an existing drug can potentially treat migraine. The only thing is, as Dan says that "caution should be utilized."
