I don't know much about this site, but found it today.  If it has been mentioned already, I apologise, but it seems interesting.
http://www.clusterheadachecure.com
Let me know what you think.  I haven't even read it all yet.

No apologies necassary, that's exactly what this forum is for, to discuss this kind of stuff. I have no experience with the book, but the first line,  
 
[ARE YOU MALE??
 
Raises a lot of red flags. It used to be thought only males got them and all you women CH'ers were just exaggerating your migrains. Needless to say we now know that is not the case.  
 
Has anyone read this book? The "CURE" part will set a lot of people off as to this point there is no such thing. It might be a compilation of good material..........I suspect you'll find the same information here though....

I thought some of the statistical info was interesting.  And the fact that many doctors do not understand the CHs.  It may be good reading.  Then again.........

What Guiseppi said.
 
The line he quoted in full:
Are you a male aged between 20 and 50 years?
Helen's son started at 3 (if I remember right) and I am 71 and still going strong (at least cluster wise).
 
Beside that, the rest of the page is much more accurate than what one otherwise reads.
 
But the "cure" is disqualified at the bottom of the page:
All material provided on this website is provided for informational or education purposes only.  No content is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
 
Do I have to buy the book for my doctor, so, after reading it,  he can "cure" me?  Roll Eyes

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Regarding: http://www.clusterheadachecure.com/ or The Cluster Cure™......
 
It appears Dr. Angela Butkevic has a few references to check into:
 
End Your Driving Anxiety Fast With The Driving Fear Program
"As a Clinical Psychologist, it's my duty to know the most effective treatments for people troubled by phobias such as driving anxiety. The Driving Fear Program is the BEST resource I've found,  I recommend it to all my patients." Dr. Angela Butkevic, PsyD.
 
She really likes recommending things. Let's get the bloodhounds on the trail.
 
Check this out:
 
http://www.asianpay.cn/mental-health/FEARCURE.htm
 
Check out the website design -- kind of familiar?
We got us a nasty scam on the radar.
 
Take a little look into the "Better Internet Bureau" -- some Canadian scammers trying to help other crooks look legit -- their website doesn't even work -- yet they are the "Better Internet Bureau".
 
Weir's a Chiropractor who claims that he cures 95% of the migraine patients that come into his practice. What a maroon.
 
This thing has a bunch of aromas about it and they all have a hint of poo.

Legally chiropractors, physiotherapists, dentists, psychologists etc are not doctors. However, most of them like to call themselves doctors, which is misleading to the public.

Yes, legally they are doctors, they just aren't MD's.  I don't see how they are misleading the public.  Most people woudlnt' go do a psychologist for surgery and on the flip-flop, people don't go to MDs' for psychological assessments.

My chiropractor would take umbrage with that. Her school (Palmer College of Chiropractic) issued her a diploma with the degree "Doctor of Chiropractic."
 
I don't go to her for CH treatment, or root canals, or gall bladder surgery, or heart bypass. I go to her when my back hurts or I've somehow injured my musculo-skeletal system. She works wonders for that.
 
I guarantee my GP couldn't do what she does. But they're both doctors.

Technically speaking all attorneys in the USA are doctors, their degree is a Juris Doctorate in law! (And I probably spelled that wrong too!)

But they're not the healing type. I play in a band with three PhD's, and they're not technically "healing" doctors, but they're closer than lawyers: two psychologists and a professor of anesthesiology.

Sounds like there are differences in the US system and the English system. In Australia, its illegal to proclaim oneself as a doctor unless one has a PhD or has been through medical school.  
 
In Australia, oral surgeons are not dentists, they are oro-maxillo-facial surgeons. General dentists here dont do surgery, only simple extractions.

Annette,  
Sorry, but you aren't making any sense to me, here.  If a person has a PhD, DVM, DDS, DO, DC, JD (and yes, you spelled it correctly, Guisseppi)  they are all entitled to call themselves *Dr.*.  However, you said in your first post, they are NOT doctors and are misleading to the public when they call themselves doctors.   So, dentists in your county don't call themselves *Dr*?
 
And, in the US, there is a really big difference between an oral surgeon and a maxiofacial surgeon (this I know, because we just happen to have one of each).

That 'e-book' looks like something that was developed for migraines and other headaches, and then re-written for clusters.  I'm not tempted to buy it.

Here, the scope of practice is the critical factor - the term doctor has little meaning itself.  If you hang up a shingle advertising yourself as a family physician, you need to have a degree and professional registration that lets you do so.  Dentists and other medical professionals are commonly addressed as doctor - so are the veterinarians.  
 
we have media celebs like "Dr. Phil" and "Dr. Laura" and "Dr. Ruth" who may or may not even have a Ph.D. - not a problem unless they try practicing medicine.

The book may be interesting or it may not.  I am sure this site can offer just as much, if not more info than the book, collectively.  After all, there is a lot of brain power on this site and we have all tried about everything possible to stop, abort or any other thing to get through the headaches.  We are the power. Huah!

Michael,
I'm not seeing where our systems are different, at all.  Perhaps Annette needs to rephrase what she said.  In my post, I indicated that the use of legitimate use of the term *Dr* requires a particular type of degree (used PhD and others as an example).
 
Now, I'm confused.

   well heres my  twocents. now keep in mind i have a cdl not a phd. i cured my ch solely by using this site. haven't been to a nuero, haven't taken any rx drugs. i've got all the info i need right here. i can get unbiased advice, support, and i've made some great friends here who understand. i'm not advising anyone not to see a nuero, however if you don't have insurance and can't afford several doctor visits, this site is very helpful. if you do buy the book, by all means, let us know what you think. seems like theres allot of good info on their page. the meditation method sounds pretty good.
 
 oh,  and you never have to apologize for bringing us info. information is golden. thanks for posting this.

Although I understand perfectly where you are coming from, and I respect that is your choice but I need to say that this is not good practice and there are risks involved with what you are doing, and in the general term, not recommended.
 
I am not having a dig at you, I am just wanting to stress that the best way is to get a proper diagnosis from a headache specialist, get a few tests done to rule out other nasties , then discuss and choose the treatments you are most comfortable with, with your doctors. This board is to provide information, not diagnosis nor treatment plan.
