Although the negative social stigma currently attached to persons suffering from Migraine disease is not as bad as it was in the 1950's, 60's, or 70's, it still has a long way to go. The good news is that thanks to groups like ACHE (American Council on Headache Education), the WHA (World Headache Alliance), and MAGNUM (The National Migraine Association), and thanks to new anti-migraine drugs and aggressive research conducted on Migraine in the 90's, the world is finally beginning to overcome the myths and misconceptions that surround this debilitating disease.

For further information on Migraines or the efforts to protect Migraineurs and those with head-pain, visit MAGNUM's Web site www.migraines.org or call MAGNUM's Washington, DC office at (703) 739-9384 .

Of course, no report about "The King" is complete without discussing "Elvis Sightings" and the people who believe he is still alive. As a side note, I offer you a Kansas City area psychiatrist who says that Elvis is alive and that he is treating him for Migraines.

Dr. Donald Hinton said, "Elvis lives and still sings, but he no longer shakes his hips because he is old now and has arthritis . . . I hear from him on a regular basis . . . On Sunday, it was by Phone . . . I'm treating Elvis Aaron Presley, the entertainer, (whom) everybody believes died in 1977."2

Dr. Hinton, who says he has co-written a book called "The Truth About Elvis Aaron Presley," also says he has DNA evidence that his patient is Elvis. He told a reporter that Elvis plans to reveal himself to his fans in 2002, and that he "faked his death so he could get away and get healthy."

Dr. Hinton is a board-certified practicing physician, licensed in 1993, with no record of disciplinary action.

When I asked MAGNUM's Mr. Coleman about Dr. Hinton's claim, he replied that he had personally spoken with both the coroner who conducted Elvis's autopsy and Dr. George Nichopoulos, Elvis Presley's personal physician, both of whom were quite satisfied that it was indeed Elvis Aaron Presley who died in 1977.
