Just finished a great new read by Michael Pollan the author of "Omnivores Dilemma". It's titled "How to Change Your Mind". It goes into great depth of the use, history and revolution taking place of the use of psychedelics to treat many disorders. It goes into great depth in the research and testing done in the past and the great advances in research today. It also attempts to explain the how and why it works as well as it does for many disorders. For myself it helped explain the how and why it helps so many of us with the cluster headaches. Nothing is mentioned about clusters, but the in-depth explanations of the effects on the complex brain at least's help me make some assumptions on why it works so well for Clusters. Worth the read just for the in-depth research and understanding one learns from the hard work that went into explaining the complex subject of psychedelics.

*blushes* No need Moxie....another delightful post....and thanks to 15 yrs ch for the shout out... We do what we can. Besides, what's the point of going through all this pain if one can't help someone else avoid a little of it. Ummm...like WOW...what's the point indeed?! There's a whole lot more of WE(s) than Me(s)... Likewise though, I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for this forum and the people here. For "me" it started with National Migraine Foundation (now National Headache Foundation)...who almost always did a section on CH in their newsletters (which info was publically unavailable anywhere else)...and introduced me to O2 in 1985! They really don't get the acknowledgement they deserve. Then a guy named DJ started clusterheadaches.com....which I KNOW has saved lives and sanity!!! (To quote him: "Adversity does not create character...it REVEALS it".) Then, of course, there is this little party bus right here....and ya don't need a ticket to ride! I remain a blessed, lucky....and grateful man. "Seek and ye shall find" Best Jon MG

Thank you! I'm honored just to be included in the company of the great people you name, and very glad that we and so many other folks here have been able to be helpful to you. This B1 thing seems promising to me -- https://clusterbusters.org/forums/topic/5417-b1-oral-high-dose-thiamine/ -- and of course there's a lot of hope that this new med could be a giant breakthrough: https://clusterbusters.org/forums/topic/5489-lilly-cgrp/
