Thanks for sharing your experiences.  :)  Psilocybin (the active "ingredient" in "magic mushrooms") and LSA (the active "ingredient" in several types of seeds) act directly on serotonin receptors (as do many of the traditionally prescribed drugs to treat CH), and it has been pretty well documented that both tend to stop CH in its tracks - especially for the chronics.  It is being seriously researched now, and initial reports were actually published in the peer-review magazine Neurology back in 2006:  START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE

Glad that it's also working for you!!!!

Wishing you many PFDAN!
