Title: Anyone else tried mushroom blends?
Post by CarolL on Oct 6th, 2012 at 9:09pm
My husband found a product called Host Defense, a blend of 17 mushrooms that helped a little with my last CH 5 years ago, hard to start in the middle of cycle.  They've repackaged it and now called Host Defense, My Community, so took me a bit to find again once shadowing and mild ch hit.  Started taking 4 capsules 3 times a day and the first night back on it, Headaches hit 10+ but did'nt last long, like 45 minutes instead of  hours.  Down to 2 capsules, twice a day and my eye is clearing up and reading does not hurt, biggie for me, and other than some mild shadowing when I ate hot dogs and chips, I'm feeling pretty good.  Don't know what to make of it, but gonna track for next couple months.  Cycle started early this year so see if still working come December.

that'sa a new one to me. Have you visited our sister board, clusterbusters.com? They explore a lot more of the "alternative" therapies.

Yeah, that was gonna be my last resort if the CH's ever came back...but last time I'd checked, it was taboo to discuss...so Clusterbusters was a pleasant surprise.  Loaded up on my D3 today, had quit taking it awhile back...did'nt recall it being used for this years ago.  You all have come up with some much better ways to exist!  Nasty shadowing today, so limiting reading time, gotta be able to drive and work tomorrow.

It's a little hard to argue with the success rate over at clusterbusters. We still keep the boards separate out of consideration for those whose careers would not be well served by exposure to our "alternatives!" ;)

Go the the posting "123 pain free days and I think I know why" for full details on the D-3 regimen.
