wow, thanks for pointing out this study. this could be huge for us Biological Mechanisms Implicated The study points to several pathways: Oxidative Stress Impaired antioxidant defenses (5-oxoproline) May damage brain cells Mitochondrial Dysfunction Energy production problems (orotate, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarate) Brain can't generate enough energy Neurotransmitter Imbalance Dopamine and glutamate pathway disruptions Lipid Metabolism & Inflammation Membrane signaling problems Inflammatory responses Methylation Pathways Betaine involvement suggests epigenetic mechanis Clinical Implications Potential Future Applications: Biomarker Development Could identify people at risk (though CSF collection is impractical) Need to find blood-based correlates New Treatment Targets Antioxidant therapies Mitochondrial support supplements Methylation pathway modulators Mechanistic Understanding Helps explain why cluster headaches occur Could lead to more targeted therapies

"Completely CH free" isn't what everyone on the D3 regimen achieves, but glad you've arrived there!
