I'm an ex-nurse. I more than understand your point about a healthy lifestyle. But, under those guidelines, you are considering clusters (which, by the way, are NOT just "headaches") to be environmentally induced. We, as a society, accept depression and other illnesses. We accept them as being caused by a "chemical imbalance" Why can't clusters be a product of the same thing? Why are we constantly told we just have a "headache" and WE are the cause of them. God, even alcoholics and drug addicts are now recognized as having a "disease", but we are still responsible for inducing our own clusters.
I only have one reply to your comment. There was a woman who probably put us all to shame in the healthy living category. She was a long-time vegetarian and juicer. She had ALL the financial resources available to persue ANY alternative health care available. And...Linda McCartney died from breast cancer. Is she to blame for her demise? Or is cancer different from "just a headache"
