Ok I write it again... "In the way I do, walking in the extreme heat at 12 am until 3 pm at noon. Are you sure, you have done it?" . It is very important that all factors should be involved to achieve the best result for your healing. I will wait for somebody's testimony, tomorrow, next week, or even next year. Thank you

I was just thinking the same thing. 3 p.m. has NEVER happened at noon around here, either. Besides, if I walked 15 hours straight starting at 12:00 a.m. every day, I'd have to go to bed immediately just to get up and start walking again at midnight! Grin

I'd probably lose my job pretty quick.

Just curious. How exactly did you test the parameters of your "cure?" so that you know the "exact" measurements, which when deviated from, become less effective?

And dude, heat and exertion brings on clusters for me...and for some others. It wouldn't matter if I was in a boat, on a float, with a goat...I'd still be flustered as my eye became clustered. I do not like green eggs and ham...or heat. lance

PLENTY of military folks on the board. Feel it's safe to say they've marched for 3 hours, probably many mid day without:

"the signal of healing will appear, such a slow movement of fluid will go down from your head (forehead) and goes to your nasal cavity and lasted in your mouth cavity."

Sorry dude, but I distrust anyone who wants me to pay them to teach me how to walk.

Good luck to you, and all snippiness aside, if you do have CH and HAVE found something that works for you, we all celebrate your success.

And my god Potter, that is the best looking burger I've ever seen!

Then there's the little matter of extremely white boys like me needing to be anywhere but in direct sunlight for three hours at a crack.

I'm sure the basal cell carcinomas would accelerate exponentially.

I'm a big fan of people getting more sunlight. While the risk from a few types of skin cancer increases with 'sun exposure', the risk of many types of other cancer would decrease (along with reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases).

Skin cancer is the easiest type to spot and treat. The biggest danger is a sunburn with blistering (which could happen to very white people with 3 hours peak exposure at some latitutdes, for sure). Overexposure is clearly unhealthy and is strongly linked to increased risk of skin cancers. Getting moderate exposure to sunlight actually seems to be protective for melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer.

But I don't think that sunlight or vitamin D is a magic bullet against cluster headaches. I am episodic with a strong tendency to get hit in summer. For me, heat and sunlight are not the answer in any way shape or form - being tan hasn't stopped the beast. In the short term, my experience is that exposure to heat and UV seem to be a trigger. When I am in cycle, I need to adjust my gardening and lawnmowing so it is done in the early morning or late afternoon, and I need to take frequent breaks to cool off and rehydrate. My bias is towards the 'water, water, water' approach to prevent cluster pain.

A lot has to do with skin type as well. Those of us whose northern European ancestors passed along the pinkest of pink skin with freckles are most at risk. I'm 49 and just had my third basal cell carcinoma removed.

When you think about it, we come from a generation whose parents were more concerned about keeping us out of the pool for an hour after we ate than they were about protecting our skin from the damaging effects of overexposure. Not that I'm blaming them - nobody really gave it a second thought. I'm just thankful it's never been a melanoma - so far.

Sorry guys, maybe all of your reasons are right. I may not sacrifice your skin health just to heal your CH (I don't know that your white skin so easily affected by the exposing to the sunshine that can cause a skin cancer) and maybe some of you do not suitable for this treatment that uses heat from sunshine and even got worse by exposing to the sunshine. One thing I am stressing at the beginning, don't just cure one organ of your body by letting other organs be the victim. Maybe you should use water 3x if it is suitable for you.

I think you should choose your treatment that best suitable for you, but at the same time don't give many side effect to you. Wish you luck.
