This is usually the case for most of us.  Those 4 ppl you speak of possibly aren't even using this therapy correctly.

Can only speak for two of them6yrs and one 9yrs
(lost count of how many doses)3 kinds of seeds, shrooms
, LSD ((also various mixtures of both)) still
the same.But you may be right and the right dose and
dosing schedule just might do the trick.I still believe
in clusterbusters but it may be like any other med
nothing works for everyone.

I saw it and had to smile.
Busting or no busting, pain free for almost 6 years now.  Maybe I should have hung onto some of the doses I gave away at the Atlanta OUCH conference just in case.

Gee Bob, perhaps you did it correctly after all. You know I had one of the longest remissions ever after my first busting attempt. I don't recall keeping it a big secret.

The PF time is just because I am getting old.  Outgrowing them.  Doesn't mean I don't believe in busting.  Glad it works for so many.  My only problem was in the early days when some professed conjecture as fact.  Felt I had to call them out on that.

How is Flash BTW?

I had to think of something to get this thread back up near the top, so.... the 1-5-10 day dosing schedule that Michael tried was not only ineffective but set him back a bit. Two attempts subsequently also failed so Michael's had a pretty tough time of it for the last month.

Then, an Angel appeared in our lives with a blotter gift which was taken last evening. A very mild experience that we hope produces some PF time, but we'll just have to wait and see. We all hoped that the psychedelics would prove to be our magic bullet. It seems that almost everyone gets positive results with them but we're finding that there's little consistency in those results both from one person to another and from dose to dose for the same person. Gradually increasing the dosage until the CH is busted is typically only the first step. The HAs usually return. For some, once is all it takes. For most, a dosing schedule must be found whereby a specific amount (which usually varies with time) is taken at lengthening intervals until maintenance dosing from once to several times per year is adequate. Many have been able to find that unique combination for themselves but many more are still experimenting. Everyone's waiting anxiously for BOL. In the meantime, though, I still feel that psychedelics are by far the best and least damaging weapons we have.

I've spent the entire day reading this thread from beginning to end Smiley

I really appreciate the manner in which CH sufferers and supporters alike interact.  Issues come up, are discussed, ideas are thrown out there for the reader to try (or not), folks are genuine and sincere, funny and even pissy at times....but its all good, we're the best family I've ever adopted!

Hi all,

I haven't posted here for a couple of months so, both to provide an update on Michael for anyone interested and to bump this thread up where someone might find it, here goes:

Michael's had very little PF time since the 1st of the year. The transition from winter to spring is I think a big part of it as many others seem to be experiencing the same thing. He's busted regularly but rarely over the past few months has he gotten significant PF time. Occasionally a lightening up or maybe a few hours here and there but nothing much to speak of. He has a job in a brewery that he loves and even though a big part of the time he's had to work with a HA, he's missed very little work. His overall condition has improved so much since he started busting that even the bad days now are so much better than the good days before that he can almost live a normal life. Each bust seems to have weakened his CH a little and strengthened his response to it. It's frustrating that the process is so slow; at least that's been the case for him.

It's a little premature to shout success but, in view of our lack of progress the past couple of months, I've just got to think that this is significant: Night before last, Michael took a single tab of LSD along with 2.0g of mushrooms. Over the past year or so, he's had a lot of psychedelics but never a combo. His recent experiences have been that the day he takes one of the drugs is followed by 3 days of worsening HAs and then hopefully some PF time. This time both his CH and his constant background HA (that's what he calls it but it's probably chronic migraine) gradually receded until this morning all traces of both were gone. It hasn't been a very long time; less than 1/2 a day (although yesterday he said he had a little hangover but no HA, so maybe it's been more like a day and 1/2), but he's completely PF. That's awesome news! I'll report back in a couple of days.

Your posts are always making me smile and feel that little bit of joy from life inside Ron.

I am praying to God Michael will get PF asap, and work on Psychadelics will advance so much he will be taken into trial as his case is one of many around here, that need attention from medical and university professionals.

He's a tough nut to crack, Matty. That's for sure. He's far from okay but compared to where he was a couple of years ago, he's been cured. He's got a job that he loves where he's appreciated. Being chronic, his HA is always present but the average Kip level has dropped from probably 7 to 3. He's optimistic about his future. Planning to return to school within the next year. Got his driver's license back. Every bust makes it a little better.

So, Matty, how are you?

Just to share with any skeptics.  HBWR and RC have done nothing short of given me my life back over the last year.  I used HBWR to terminate a cycle last year.  Preventative doses have kept my CH away each time it started to return over the last year.  Recently my cycle stated again and  I waited too long on my dose to prevent it.  A few days ago I self treated and am nearly PF in less than 4 days.  (only 2 mild hits since last dose).

I'm no longer the angry, zombie, scared to sleep, on edge of loosing my job etc. etc. I was before I started hallucinogen treatment.  (and by the way they're really nothing like TV would have think they are).  I've NEVER hallucinated at all, at worst, just a little dizzy.  Actually significanly less impact to my mental ability to think straight than Imitrex!  I can't think straight for 3 days after an imitrex injection, and that only works for one hit!  Hallucinogen treatments have a high success rate of breaking the entire cycle.

I hope this helps, and gives hope to those researching options after their Dr treatments have failed.  (Nothing the Dr prescribed worked for me accept O2, and needless to say that does nothing for cycle termination)

PF wishes to all!
Jeff

Add me to the list. I am beyond astounded that this method worked, but it did. For the first time in 11 years I have circumvented the most awful part of my life using this approach ( after trying 95% of all the other prescription preventatives with zero success).

Thank God for clusterbsuters ( and CH.com for leading me there) is all I can say.
