Preachin' to the choir, dude. I've acknowledged that.

I've several pharmaceuticals that work - it's a constant guessing game as to what will work today and what won't tomorrow, but they work the vast majority of the time.

If I lost my job, you're absolutely correct - legality would be much less of an issue.

Brew, I understand your position and respect it.  I also feel sorry for anyone who avoids this treatment for fear of the law.  That is a sin, and governments should be ashamed.  I might add that I'm a firefighter subject to random drug tests, but don't let that stop me.  Psilocybin screening is not routinely included in drug tests.  As has been mentioned, it's a matter of cost.  Also, psilocybin is water soluble and therefore out of your system relatively quickly, unlike cannabis.  Three days would be a maximum, and you may be clean in one.

Anyway, I came here to add emphasis to my "count me"
Here's an update:

Well that was a good month.

Here's the breakdown:
     Eight total hits for the month
           Three induced by beer
           Only needed to resort to O2 for the first three of the month
           None worse than a 2
     Three .75 gm. doses

That's it, all of it, period.  Not bad after eight months of pretty steady hits.  Although May wasn't too bad, as I was starting to get my dosing right.  Last dose was June 25, and I plan on a maintenance dose in another one or two weeks.  Unless I get any activity, in which case I will strike immediately.

I am back on this thread, I have been over this thread many times, I am also grateful to
a prominent member of CB (I will not mention the name, I simply failed to ask for promotion)
for the vast information and of f board interesting and educating discussions, tks so much,
how much one can learn and absorb information if one is open and interested in learning and
educating one self, if not for the purpose of use, then purely out of curiosity………

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow.' (learne, learne)”
(The Talmud)

What is even more important and so much delighting is the fact that there is hardly any
“foul” answers or posts, and with such an “explosive” material, and contravention to keep
the discussion clan of “mud wrestling” is a proof that it can be done and it is done.

I am very happy for all the ones that posted about their success,
what can be better then a treatment that works! and apparently so good…..
Like a pain therapist said: “ even one day of pain free is the world” so much more if it
works for a long time, that is the universe…..  it is a blessing, I was searching for words
to express my joy, and I cant say I can find the words……..

I am also very happy to learn that O2 is a very important part of this alternative, as a big advocate
of the O2 therapy….. I can only say, a very good choice! I believe O2 is a saviour (for me) and a non
lethal therapy alternative.

I feel (in a way) I am being denied a good alternative for treating CH, by the authorities, but the law
is the law, and based on the law I can not take any marked illegal substances, I like my job!
and I try very hard to obey the law, I believe in federal democracy, I voted for it, I try to support it,
and therefore obey the laws put up by the system, and cannot knowingly and deliberately brake the law,
even so I know I am the looser at the end of the day, I just cant do it…….

Point taken 

Hold the cheese!

I'd like to throw my name into the hat. I started with shrooms, had good success at aborting the cycle and also preventative dosing. I personally found shrooms hard to come by and to be honest didn't like having to get a little buzzed on a semi-regular basis with the shrooms.

SO... I looked for an alternative, RC Seed worked very well for me, I am episodic typically 2 times year lasting about 6 weeks per episode. RC seeds have allowed me to often skip the episode completely, i.e last episode was August 07, typically  I should have had an full blow episode Xmas time-ish but sailed on through. Last night i did feel a bit of that familiar tinge and will be dosing with 20 RC seed tonight (unless somebody recommends a different dosage) which will hopefully stop this cycle before it begins.

One added note, last Aug when i had my last episode, the seeds were unable to break it completely, but knocked it down to about 3 weeks with 1 maybe 2 CHs/ day, normally i would have been 5-7 easily, high on the KIP. ( i was also only dosing at about 9-10 seeds, which i think was too low)

I am a HUGE supporter of the work that is being done here, eternal gratitude to PinkFloyd, I really cannot express enough my thanks to those who have worked so hard to look for answers.

I would encourage EVERYONE to try the seeds. I know there are legality issues with some of the psychedelics, but in Canada anyway the RC seeds are available at a retail store, so it is not an issue and for me more effective than the mushrooms.

Good luck to all.

I thought the idea here was to kick the beast's a$$, not the other way around. And I thought you had a leg up on it, if I recall correctly.

Atta boy, coach!

LOL... I love you guys...

i really don't understand what is so offensive about clusterbusting nor do i understand why it is such a taboo subject. you guys go through all these trial and tribulations with there meds and their doctors. clusterbusting is a one time treatment and it works.

this is a site to help people deal with cluster headaches. thats why bob makes his posts hear. he is a clusterhead like all the rest of us.

also lets not forget that all these trusted drug companies (how much does imitrex cost?)are the ones that lobby to keep it illegal. they need to make sure that you keep buying their drugs and keep that money rolling in. NOBODY makes any money from clusterbusting.

as far as drug testing goes i am a truckdriver. i get drug tested quit often. the only way you can detect lsd is through a spinal tap. mushrooms and other methods are out of your system in days.   i too need my job but it's not like i can slide out from my desk and  go hide somewhere. i have to find a place to park my truck and try to put my head back together before i run somebody over. last cycle i didn't have insurance. because  of this and because i refused to drive due to safety reasons i clusterbusted. a few weeks later i was pf and back on the road supporting my family.

clusterbusting does have a place on this site and i don't understand why  it's so hush hush. if you gave me a choice between breaking the law and getting stabbed in the face repeatedly i'll break the law everytime!

as far as morality goes, what moral about charging you $150 for imitrex when it's just an immediate and non lasting remedy.

whats so immoral about using lsd or mushrooms to take care of an ailment? seriously can anybody answer that question?
with all due respect don't knock it until you've tried it!                  

amen brother!

i try not not push clusterbusting on anybody, but i with rise to its defense!
