I'm one of those lucky newbies that straight away got all the reassuring help and advice about psychedellics from CHfather and Bejeeber. Awesome job guys! I wasn't sure about them before I spoke to you both but you convinced me. I'm passing on that info to others.

I came here looking for advice on busting. I knew what clusterbusters was about. I got that advice and also tips on other methods to try while waiting to start psychedelics. I tried them and fantastically they worked! I'm so grateful for someone helping me. It doesn't mean I forgot why I came to clusterbusters in the first place. I'm still reading my way through all the message boards and still have the same intentions I came here with for the next cycle. In fact I'm so convinced by everything I'm reading that I've written to goverment advisors and my MP to ask for this treatment to be legalised. Don't worry, people aren't going to miss the big picture. The impression I have come away with is that psychedelics are the most effective but that other treatments mentioned here are extremely valuable in combination with them. I also think that whenever we find something else that works it offers clues as to what goes on with CH - the brain receptors and chemical processes involved etc. and this is the holy grail. What better for pioneers like clusterbusters than to get the full picture and develop a therapy - most likely based on psychedelics - that is fully understood and offers a guaranteed long term fix?

I'm fairly certain D3 and licorice tinct are responsible for breaking my cycle. I was on the downward half of my cycle but still getting 3 attacks per night and no indication of it improving. Then after 2 days on this treatment I suddenly slept through the night with no pain. I still wake up with a very mild feeling (rather than pain) in my eye, which goes on it's own after an hour or two. Here is the routine I tried: I had detoxed from all other meds. Only using O2. D3 liquid from http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=3545&prodid=4014&cid=163&sid=0 DHA from http://www.detoxyourworld.com/acatalog/omega_zen.html Licorice tincture from http://shop.napiers.net/liquorice-root-tincture-100ml-p-472.html?zenid=7a1b25fa75d77d564a5fbb9f5503ac42 Day 1: 2000 IU of D3 and 600 mg DHA taken with evening meal That night was the same as usual, 3 attacks, perhaps pain even a little bit worse Day 2: cup of black coffee with slice of lemon and sugar in the morning, 2 x 2000 IU of D3 with meals, 1800 mg of DHA spread over the day, 3 x 3ml licorice tincture That night slept through, pain free, woke with slight shadow. Day 3: upped D3 to a total daily dose of 6000 IU, the other components were same as yesterday That night slept through, pain free, woke with shadow but even milder than previous day. Also seems that rainy weather doesn't make me feel as yucky as it used to while taking these. I know the beast could have been due to leave on it's own but would not have expected it to suddenly go from 3 attacks down to zero! The licorice tincture is 40% ABV but in 3ml doses it doesn't trigger anything. It tastes pretty good too! :-) Not sure if the DHA helps but don't want to stop it yet just in case. The DHA I take is from a vegan source and so the components of DHA in it per mg are much higher than if you were taking fish oil (not diluted with other fats). So if you are using fish oil you might need more of it.
