Purisaki is a wellness brand that focuses on providing innovative, convenient products designed to support metabolism, weight management, and overall health through plant-based ingredients and modern delivery methods. One of the most well-known products offered by the brand is the Purisaki Berberine Patch, a transdermal patch that is applied directly to the skin to deliver beneficial ingredients gradually throughout the day. Unlike traditional dietary supplements that require swallowing pills or capsules, Purisaki patches are designed to provide a steady release of active compounds through the skin, making them a convenient option for people who prefer a simpler wellness routine. These patches are typically placed on clean, dry skin, often around the abdomen or near the navel area, and worn for several hours, commonly around eight hours, allowing the ingredients to be absorbed slowly over time. The formula used in Purisaki products generally includes a combination of plant-derived extracts and essential nutrients that are associated with metabolic support and overall wellness. One of the key ingredients is berberine extract, a natural compound found in several plants that has been studied for its potential role in supporting metabolic health and balanced blood sugar levels. In addition to berberine, Purisaki patches may also contain ingredients such as green tea extract, which is rich in antioxidants and compounds that may help support energy levels and metabolic activity. Another ingredient sometimes included in the formulation is African mango extract, which has been associated with appetite management and weight-support benefits in some wellness products. The formula may also include fucoxanthin, a naturally occurring compound found in brown seaweed that has been studied for its potential role in supporting fat metabolism. Other supportive components can include pomegranate oil and vitamins such as Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, and Vitamin B3, which help contribute to overall nutritional balance and support the body’s natural energy processes. The brand markets these ingredients as part of a comprehensive approach to daily wellness and weight management support. Purisaki products are often sold through online platforms and marketplaces, where they are promoted as easy-to-use wellness tools that can complement a healthy lifestyle. Many users are attracted to the patches because they are simple to apply, discreet, and do not require mixing powders or taking multiple capsules each day. However, like any wellness product, Purisaki patches are generally recommended to be used alongside healthy habits such as balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, proper hydration, and sufficient sleep. While the ingredients included in the patches have been individually studied for certain health properties, it is important for consumers to understand that supplements and wellness products are not magic solutions and results can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience mild digestive side effects from ingredients like berberine if absorbed in higher amounts, so consulting a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement routine is often recommended, especially for those with medical conditions or who take medications. Overall, Purisaki represents a modern approach to wellness products by combining plant-based ingredients with transdermal patch technology, offering individuals a convenient option for supporting metabolism, energy balance, and general health as part of a broader lifestyle focused on long-term well-being. https://thepurisaki.com/

Keto Fast ACV is a popular weight loss supplement designed to support individuals who want to manage their weight more effectively while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This supplement typically combines the well-known benefits of apple cider vinegar with ingredients that may help the body support fat metabolism and energy production. Apple cider vinegar has long been associated with weight management because it may help support digestion, promote a feeling of fullness, and assist the body in maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. When included in a weight loss routine, Keto Fast ACV may help reduce frequent hunger cravings and encourage portion control, which can be beneficial for people trying to reduce calorie intake. Many users choose Keto Fast ACV as part of a ketogenic or low-carbohydrate diet plan because the supplement is often marketed as supporting the body’s natural ability to burn stored fat for energy. By encouraging the body to utilize fat as a fuel source, Keto Fast ACV may help support gradual and consistent weight reduction when combined with proper nutrition and regular physical activity. Another potential benefit of Keto Fast ACV is its ability to support metabolism, which plays an important role in how efficiently the body converts food into energy. A healthy metabolism can contribute to improved energy levels throughout the day, making it easier to stay active and maintain exercise routines that are important for long-term weight management. Additionally, the natural properties of apple cider vinegar may help support digestive health by promoting the balance of beneficial gut bacteria and aiding in nutrient absorption. Good digestive health is closely connected to overall wellness and may also influence weight control. Keto Fast ACV supplements are often available in convenient forms such as capsules or gummies, which makes them easier to include in daily routines compared to traditional liquid apple cider vinegar. This convenience allows individuals to enjoy the potential benefits of apple cider vinegar without the strong taste that some people find unpleasant. While Keto Fast ACV may offer supportive benefits for weight management, it is important to remember that no supplement alone can replace healthy habits. Effective and sustainable weight loss typically requires a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate hydration, and proper sleep. When used responsibly as part of a comprehensive wellness plan, Keto Fast ACV may provide additional support for people seeking to improve their weight management efforts. As with any dietary supplement, individuals should consider consulting a healthcare professional before beginning regular use, especially if they have underlying health conditions or are taking medications. Overall, Keto Fast ACV is commonly promoted as a supportive tool that may help individuals pursue their weight loss goals by assisting with appetite control, metabolism support, and overall wellness when paired with a healthy lifestyle. https://ketofastacv.com/

Hello I am an Illinois resident and a CH sufferer. I want to connect with a community of cluster busters to feel supported on this difficult journey.

Thank you, fingers and toes crossed for you, and please do update.

I’ve just started taking this 2 days ago. I know it’s anecdotal at this point but I’ve been in a cycle for nearly 10 months now. Nothing is helping d3 , mushrooms everything. my doctor here in Canada gave me a 30 day trial and so far it’s really helping. I’ll update soon

Diagnosed c-ptsd, bipolar, bpd, take the book flip through the pages and point at something and i'm sure a doctors tried putting that label on my files. I was raised around hard drug use, extreme dv,psychological abuse, malnutrition, outright neglect, had a crippling liquor cns depressants addiction namely opiates and multiple cns depressants together i.e. handle of vodka with a bunch of opiates and barbiturates. Did 15+ years trauma therapy. I recovered from most of it but I still don't trust people as a rule of thumb. I've seen too much to blindly hand people trust. I've also had atleast 6 concussions and multiple critical heat/dehydration events. Atleast 3 of each of the above including loss of identity and consensus reality as well as having to relearn how to spell. My clusters started about 3-4 years ago. I was going through some massive betrayals and I was exceptionally pissed off. I mean like.. do some crazy crap pissed off. I was driving and my blood was boiling when out of no where I had my first attack. It was like the rage itself had manifested the clusters. I got past the stuff that had me so angry, made ammends but the clusters have haunted me since. I consider it gods gift. A persistent reminder that no one is allowed to piss me off like that unless I allow them too. I've survived much worse so why am I going to allow something to convince me that life isn't worth it when I've seen quite the contrary. I'm scared of death much more than i'm scared of misery. This cycle I've decided to weaponize my clusters to my benefit. Everytime it pisses me off its time to train. Everytime it gets me feeling hopeless i'm going to do intense workouts. If I so much as even think about death its running until I can't catch my breath. I've survived too much to let a headache to let me think life isn't worth it. On the contrary, I welcome the pain. Make me stronger. Make me harder to weaken. Its misery, theres days I dont want to be here about it, but thats my pain leaving the body. Thats my psychy cracking under load. It makes more sense for me to fortify than it does to lessen the load. That's not to say that I won't try to bust but if a car cracks a block of driveway you dont stop parking there you make the pad thicker. I will train my brain to treat these headaches as a personal attack that must be met with extreme prejudice. Harden the defenses. The diagnosis' are nothing more than labels trying to explain a history that is unexplainable. Those doctors did nothing but slap bandaids on the issues and teach me to be okay with the things that happened. I wish they would have made me angry towards the issues, taught me to harvest that pain and suffering for growth. None of what I endured is okay. It never was. None of those medications benefited me, all they did was allow me to stay weaker longer. Si vis pacem parabellum.

Yes, this is also a pet theory of mine. My husband has ECH and had a litany of trauma growing up from alcoholism and drug addiction in his parents, physical abuse, homelessness after leaving his home early, death of friends and close family as a young man. I just finished The Mindbody Prescription book, which is primarily about repressed rage and grief, and how it will present as pain in the body as a way of distracting the mind from its subconscious feelings. But what's more, it is absolutely possible for the limbic system to form neural pathways to the hypothalamus and cause autonomic dysregulation.

That’s actually something I’ve been curious about too. Even if herbal cigarettes are tobacco-free, the act of inhaling smoke itself can still be irritating and potentially trigger attacks for some people. Cluster headaches are often sensitive to strong smells, smoke, and changes in oxygen levels, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they could exacerbate symptoms. From what I’ve read and heard in similar discussions, many people with cluster headaches tend to avoid any type of smoke altogether, just to be on the safe side.

Thank you

I must of missed them, I've had 20-25% results with busting, I'm on the D3 regime all the time, I thinks its just good health to be anti-inflammatory, I also intermittent fast to keep inflammation and insulin spikes down. I tried a 96 hour fast at the beginning of this cycle, and so far I think its reduced overall attacks. I'll try anything during a cycle. But once its gone, I rarely even think about it.

One thing that many people have noticed is that when the tank gets below a certain level (half-full for some, one-third full for others), O2 loses effectiveness. With a regulator that goes above your usual level, you can increase the lpm to compensate for this. You didn't answer about D3 and busting (perfectly fine), but I'll just repeat that they make a big difference.

Jetpack Compose + Material13, Language Kotlin. I build in Antigravity.

I'll check that app out in the next few days. What framework is it? Also the iPhone thing I can relate to. That is why I usually stick to a web app so both android and apple are available without needing to build two apps but thats just my preference.

I hadn't loaded all the the data into the app yet, I only had a few actual live runs with it where O2 was logged, and then I was back loading attacks so that I could see a complete cycle. When doing so I realized that the past logged events didn't include O2 usage so it through the stats off. I fixed that, in the latest update. The new Stat averages 19.61 min per attack or 922 Minutes over 47. I had also corrected the calendar issues, added edit ability to past attacks (sometimes I forget to hit end) I'm just so happy its over. We already had the JSON export, but I added and tested an import in case you switch phones later, you can export out of current phone, load app in new and re import. No data loss. I ended up hosting it on Github as then when I push releases or add on's people can just update. There is also good notes on what app is all about along with ability to audit the code if your inclined. For $25.00 I get get it listed on the Play Store, something I might consider to get it to a larger community after I get feedback and see if this is an app people will want to use, then updates will be automatic. I did look into optimizing for Iphone, I figure it would take me an entire weekend (personally I am not a fan of Iphone) but I may consider it if like I said there is enough interest. Good news is that I will not allow advertising or charge a fee as I consider this my contribution to the community. https://github.com/MyDigitalFreedom/ClusterTracker/releases As far as optimizing O2, I can't say that I have been overly successful, What works one day, doesn't the next, as many know this beast just changing. My old manual records were harder to see any patterns. I'm hoping with the graphs I will get more insight.

Herbal cigarettes may be tobacco-free and nicotine-free, but they still produce smoke when burned, and that smoke can irritate the airways and potentially trigger coughing, wheezing, or asthma-like symptoms in sensitive individuals. “Herbal” does not automatically mean safe for the lungs. If you’re curious about the types available in the market, you can explore this list of herbal cigarette brands. However, even these product can still cause repiratory irritation, beacuse the main issue is the smoke itself, not the tobacco.

@Trent, I remember from some years back that you gave a lot of thought to optimizing your O2 usage, and you were dealing with some Canadian restrictions on equipment. An average attack duration of 44 minutes seems too long, and a total O2 usage of 45 minutes over 16 attacks seems quite low, so I'm curious about what's going on, and of course I am also curious about whether you are doing the D3 regimen or busting, both of which typically reduce attack durations. Since this isn't really the subject of these posts and you aren't asking for any advice, you don't have any obligation at all to answer . . . It just makes me curious about whether there's something that could reduce those longer attacks.

Here is some screen shots, also of note not available on i-phone. You can see where I thought it was going away, so I stopped O2, then quickly regretted that.

The above app is 100% hosted and stored on your own phone/tablet. No data is transmitted to anywhere else. I specifically built without Google play services for privacy reasons. Now to be honest I would not install a random app on my device without knowing where it came from. So my recommendation is to load it on a old phone you got kicking around and try it there first. It won't need a sim card or even to be up to date, and can be installed over wifi.

Its got some minor glitches I am still working out but here is what I built for myself. I use it to track cycles, attacks within the Cycle and the attack it self. If there is interest I will provide updates. The glitches I found where adding past attacks, the calendar was off by one day, so I choose one day ahead for yesterday's log date. I also want to add the ability to edit past attacks and notes. But otherwise working great. Provides good analytics for Cycles, and Attacks. Logs Pain, and O2 Usage and tie to local weather for increased data collection. Files can be exported into JSAN or CSV for medical or historical record keeping. The Notes can be for anything you wan to record, busting attempts, diet, D3 Regime tracking ect. Hope you all like it. https://github.com/MyDigitalFreedom/ClusterTracker/releases

@Craigo Brother I mean what I say and probably literally with how I type lol. It hurt. And I enjoy reading your interactions and guidance in these forums. You obviously didnt mean to cut me like that because it's clear to me you really care for everyone here. I won't ever hold one reply or one response against anyone here. I appreciate what you say and I appreciate what you have said in the past on here. Your past forum chats are really good and caring. One of my favorites here so far lol. Probably why it stung but anytime you want to talk I'm also a phone call away or zoom call. CH is too important and shared between all of us here.

@dhuddly and to all reading. After a sleep I feel I overstepped with my comments above so I wanted to offer an apology and make clear that's my stuff, not his and I should have chosen my words better. Sorry Dhuddly, hope you may be able to accept my apology.

We should also specifically look at adding video features. Because as I have learned recently, all of us talk and type differently. We are from all walks of life. If there's been misinterpreting due to text lengths and formats then video is an option to help us differentiate things like crazy or delicate. Because when anyone lands here, it means that they are finally vulnerable enough to be here. For example, in video you guys would see me talk fast. It's my nature. But in text forums like this, I write very long replies. Not because I am long and slow or delicate. Lol for me it's literally an ADHD thing that's never slowed me down. If storage is an issue for video features then there are plenty of avenues we can use or explore. It also would allow for a healthier community experience because anytime you have a face and voice to connect to the text it paints the whole picture. Just some food for thought.

I can work with truck driver vocabulary and your grammar isn't that bad. Books and written to be read and videos to be watched, I'd love to check them out, please feel free to drop links here or send me a DM so I can go check them out. I just read The Headache, Tom Zeller Jr, episodic cluster sufferer and it was an absolutely amazing read. Welcome again to the community @dhuddly, if that's what you were after then certainly you are in the right place, there are some phenomenally good people in the cluster headache community, of that I can say for sure - and the reason I reckon I will be back in Chicago come October for this years conference!

Craig no offense taken. And sorry if this comes across as defensive, I am aware of what you describe, I am also aware that I don't talk how I type and I don't type how I talk. I can understand why you are saying this to me but I would suggest maybe checking out some videos I made during covid. They have nothing to do with cluster headaches and only connect in a way that let's me know that the ch didnt take all of me and I survived. Beyond that the research I've compiled was a direct result of me fighting me way back so through the most traumatic and painful time in my life. I am described as a blunt person long before this. Through years of some of the same things you listed and can appreciate why you'd feel led to make sure I'm not out of my mind. I have no expectations from this forum. I am here because I needed to find community. People don't get through this level of trauma alone and sounds like you understand that. You can see those videos on TikTok. They've been there for years. I talk alot in them. The way you read my text in these forums will I guess allow you to understand that long responses, run-on sentences is kind of my thing. Even since MySpace I was aware that some people misunderstand how I type sentences in text. Just like this reply is too long. Its just something I've accepted decades ago. In person, I am the type that is comfortable delivering hard messages to people and that translates to caring. And that is definitely something we share Craig. Oddly enough, the first thing I did as far as treat myself to normalcy after ch was to write two books that I began back in the videos im talking about. Years of me being me brother. I have the grammar of a 10 year old and vocabulary of a truck driver. But that doesn't mean I'm out of my mind brother.
