American Academy of Family Physician Article on CH

Another article that all US GP should be aware of.

It doesnt have a lot of information but it has 3 good things :

1- The need for abortive and preventive.

2- That oral meds are too slow as abortive.

3- Oxygen as first line of treatment.

But then it has many bad things such as CH is caused by smoking ? I dont think that has been proven  yet !

What do you think ?
