G'mornin Roger! I don't use headache diaries myself, but I have provided a link to this thread in a post to a Facebook group that I'm a member of. Thank you for your time and effort! DD

When you speak to your doctor ask him or her to look it up on "UP-To_Date" which is an online reference many physicians use. O2 therapy is well documented and a first line standard of care treatment option. Any properly done literature search or google search for that matter will support this. If they are unwilling to be enlightened I suggest your pursue another caregiver.

Some will remember a guy who showed up here a few years ago asking for $ for legal fees after his arrest, claiming to be a buster. Turned out he was a serious dealer. The thing about a lawsuit (which is very unlikely for someone who's not dealing, but of course not impossible) is that while it might bring publicity, it couldn't set a legal precedent making it okay to grow and/or use banned substances to treat CH. The jury could "nullify" the law and find the defendant not guilty, but the law would still be the law, and if there was a next person, s/he would have to again to hope to win over the jury. There were lots of jury nullification cases for medical marijuana, for example (with people freely admitting that they grew and smoked mj to treat medical conditions and the jury returning not guilty verdicts), but each one was a crapshoot for the defendant until the laws were changed.I woul I would hope, as Denny says, that the busting community would come to the aid of anyone who was arrested and wanted to fight it. That's a lot of $, though.

Better to put funding in to research demonstrating efficacy than fueling pockets of a litigious action. The government has way too deep of pockets to fight and a Court type situation. There are a few things stronger than reproducible data to substantiate a claim. That said, there'll always be unreasonable, close minded, zealot-type buttheads who will reflexively diminish an idea that challenges their unsubstantiated bias. Best to keep a low profile and communicate success than get all up in the governments face. (opinion only)

I agree with J here....and I'm not aware of anyone that's ever been busted and prosecuted for "busting....all that bein said, I think our worldwide community has become so robust in the past several years that in the event that someone did get busted, that the community would rally to finance whatever the best defense was.
