I introduced my son Michael in a much longer narrative on the 14th page of "Re: Time for the 75-80% to stand up and be counted." I am reintroducing him here because r.c. seeds are our current experimental medication while LSD, while quite effective for Michael, is very hard to come by - it's also illegal.

Michael began his episodic cluster career at age 12 and graduated - with the help of an especially severe car accident - to his current chronic phase about 4 years ago. The guys at the hospital couldn't abort his pain, so with the consent of his Neurologist they chemically induced a coma. The only meds that have provided any consistent relief over time have been narcotics. He currently takes 120 mg. of methadone per day.

We heard about r.c. seeds only a couple of days ago. I immediately ordered 100. They arrived today. I crushed 30 of them up, soaked them in a small glass of distilled H2O for 2 hours and Michael drank the mixture down about 45 min. ago. It's not possible for Mike to detox from the methadone but he only took 40 mg. today and that was about 4:00 this morning. He also took the seeds on an empty stomach.

I'll report back with the results.

I've been taking rc seeds for almost four years with phenomenal success.  The seeds are perfectly legal to purchase, but illegal to ingest, hence, my supplier, Iamshaman.com, very clearly says that they are not for ingestion.  As Chuck said, this is CYA.

Storage of your seeds:  Do not leave them in the little ziplock bags they come in.  I was told, can't remember who, to put the seeds in a clean small jelly jar with screw on lid, and keep them in the fridge.  I've been doing this and they don't seem to lose much potency.  However, I think I might just plant some! 

My dosage (may not work for all).  Began with seeds while out of cycle with monthly maintenance dose of about 12 seeds, crushed in a pepper grinder, then soaked for two hours in a shot glass of warm water (and I do drink not only the tea, but also the sludge - sludge is my friend).

When cycle began, immediately dosed with 35 seeds using same method.  Used O2 only to abort hits.  Waited 5 days and dosed with another 35 seeds.  Cycle completely stopped the day after the second dose.

Since then, My cycle once again tried to start, did the same routing with the 35 seeds and the same fantastic results.

Not once have I ever felt a "high".  All I've ever felt was calm and comfortable, and I slept like a baby.  I've never done any type of recreational drug in my life, so this decision was a hard one for me and my husband.  We have no regrets!

Outside of four breakthrough hits, low on the Kip scale and easily aborted with O2, (BTW I use welder's O2) I have been absolutely pain free for over three years!

The seeds have given me my life back.

An temporary increase in hits is fairly common when using seeds - not always, but often enough to note.

The right mask is very important for O2 therapy, along with enough flow to allow him to breathe deep and breathe fairly quickly without waiting for the bag to fill.

Good luck in your quest.

Sandy, this is fantastic news.  Also, I have been storing them in the bag they came in.  I'll transfer them to a jar like you said.  I do keep them in the fridge so I had that part right. 

I strained my seeds that last time and I had this green looking water that tasted like the seeds.  Before that I would take the "sludge" down too.
I will admit after dosing in cycle, you get the best nights sleep immediately, however with using Trex to abort, I think I might have been interfering with the "magic".  I'll have O2 for next cycle.  This past year was my first using seeds in a maintenance form.
My cycle that ended 2 weeks ago was exactly 14 days worth of CH with 1-2 CH/day.  That was the weakest cycle I have EVER had.  Maybe I owe thanks to the seeds.

I don't believe the detox is merely about getting rid of chemicals. It's about allowing the indole ring molecules to make their way into the cell "sockets" in the brain. It takes a good five days on average to open those sockets.

Thank you, all of you, for your concern and advise. Until this last couple of weeks I felt alone with my son in this Hell; a Hell that I, as his father, felt responsible to find a way out of since anymore there's very little that he can do except suffer. My not knowing what to try next or seeing anything hopeful in the immediate future and afraid that he would see that I didn't know what to try next, my anxiety was building and transferring to my son. But now, thanks to all of you, I'm hopeful that we'll find a way out of this nightmare and I feel that my son, through me, is also beginning to feel a bit of that hope.

Bonkers....Keep us posted ..I am soo anxious to hear good news from you.
   Just wondered,,, are their others in your family tree with CH?              lorac

Lorac,

Thank you for your concern. My mother and I both had migraine headaches when we were young. We both "outgrew" them in our early 30's.
