Well, if Boji stones, Emu Oil and the ever popular Peruvian Butterfly Farts are Cluster cures, then why not?

(I'm not being negative, just providing an open door for a learned dissertation on how and why it kills Cluster Headaches)

I don't know much about shrooms, but they are both fungi - could the effects be similar to that of a mushroom perhaps? that is brewed like a tea...

Just throwing ideas out there as a person who knows not a whole lot about one and little to nothing about the other haha.  :P
I read a few things but these seemed to be the most interesting links.        Val

Kombucha
It has been used for centuries to cure a wide variety of illnesses. The word kombucha literally means “tea made from kombu seaweed”. However, what is called Kombucha tea today has no seaweed in it. Furthermore, despite the name Manchurian mushroom, Kombucha is not a mushroom either. The gelatinous mass is a colony of numerous species of fungi and bacteria living together, and the same microorganisms permeate the tea.

Very little research on kombucha - one study showing that it has adaptogenic properties (protects against effects of stress, increases antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory, etc). Other than that, no idea if it would help or not ... nothing on its effects on calcium channels, serotonin, melatonin, etc.  I have never tried it.

Thanks all for the info.

I was looking on the web site START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE and seen it was under the headache link. I have been speaking with a clusterhead in Romania and this is used there widely. It is under the same theory as the mushrooms and seeds here. If used regularly(not sure what that means) it MAY skip the cluster cycle. I would like to see the properties of it, and learn about it. I'm just not ready to go make a batch of tea just yet. But it could be another weapon i carry in my cache.

Still looking, Let me know.
