Hi,
Obviously your new here at CH.com. We have some people attempt to sell products to us that are not effective and are just trying to make a fast buck at the expense of those suffering.
1. I realize you are suggesting herbal treatments that anyone would realize are available over-the-counter and can be bought at any pahrmacy/health food store/etc.
2. I appreciate the advice on certain herbal treatments. I myself have tried Kava Kava, Feverfew, Super B-12, and others. This may help for some , and the advice may actually help someone else.
3. I did not sense that your post was a sales pitch, but rather some friendly advice on other alternative treatments to try. If it helps one person , it was worth the posting. Thanks.
Sometimes people post advice on things and it is welcomed, othertimes people tend to be defensive and rude. I suspect that when a cure is found and it becomes public knowledge on CH.Com, the person will probably be attacked as well, again I apologize, most folks are friendly - only some are witch hunters.
My only other question is : do you or anyone you know suffer from Cluster Headaches? If so, and you find a treatment that helps you or them, don't be afraid to post it, ok? It may help some and provide a little relief.
BTW, anyone can study up on herbs and thier different healing potentials on the web, just go to your local ___________ and write down some of the different vitamins, herbs, and other things you find interesting and look them up. Who knows, you may invent a non-toxic cluster cocktail that works. How do you think docs get the stuff they prescribe? Experimentation. So little is known about CH's and if you have suffered for a period of time and done the research, as Drummer said "you are the cluster specialist".
Peace, Love and Falling Leaves...........FREEK
