Title: $ 30,000 a month
Post by unsolved1 on Sep 7^th, 2006, 5:17pm

I'm currently using about $30,000 a month for medical treatment and have been for the past couple of years it seems. Today, a bill collector called for $24 ::) After he looked into my account, he said "Don't worry about it". :P

Is that strictly for CH treatment? A lot of ER visits or do you have other issues? Glad they're not giving you a hassle about it.

Damn, that is some medical bill. All of our debit has been caused by medical too. We are fortunate and have had insurance most of the time.

All I know is I have to stay well until I am around 80 so I can retire:)

Unsolved thats more money than I made all of last month.

Someone just informed me of 20 years of hard CH and the RC seeds used for just 8 days made him pain free. 80% plus success rates according to what TommyD posted a few days ago. Thats only around 15 or 20 bucks.

That's a pretty good success rate. Where did he get those stats from? Is that scientific ? Glad to hear of his success. Maybe we should all be doing RC Seeds, huh ?!

Nope, unfortunately not scientific. For the LSA seeds, there are just anecdotal reports collected by the Clusterbusters. And it might be closer to 70 percent.

For the other tryptamine treatments, psilocybin and LSD, there is a case review study published in the journal Neurology in June of 56 cases with around 80 percent showing complete remission or partial improvement. Still not real proof, but clinical trials might be in the future.

Check out clusterbusters.com for more.

I wouldnt go that far but they are certainly worth a very close look. They are definately not for everyone.

However with a modified RC seed treatment I was able to stop pain and totally bust a hard cycle for the first time in 30 years. about 8 or 9 months later and occasional doses I am still pain free. Time will tell if the treatment continues to work for me.

I may be a bit biased toward the seeds.

Hope you get your break someday soon Unsolved.
