Hi,
I do not suffer from cluster headaches but it sounds like a horrible thing and I'm amazed people have the strong to live with it. While looking around the web I saw claims that Psilcybin and lsd have worked wonders in treating some people, because (as some claims suggest) there are very chemically similar to Serotonin.
I want to share a piece of information with you all. Lsa (Lysergic Acid Amides) is very chemically similar to both lsd and psilcybin but far less hallucinoginic. Also that plants containing lsa can be legally obtained, The Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds have a high content of Lsa (around .3%), can be bought from several online shops that deal in legal "highs" (Lsa is a schedule III drug, so it is technically illegal to eat the seeds after removing the fuzzy coating that can cause stomach discomfort).
As a side not I would like to correct a myth that Hoffman ectracted LSD from ergot, in reality he first extracted LSA, but then chemically changed it to increase its hallucinoginic properties.
I hope that I can be a happy to some of you
