  2. Have you had a difficult or challenging experience with psilocybin mushrooms? If so,- Roland Griffiths / The Psilocybin Research Team at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine would greatly appreciate your help conducting an anonymous, web-based study to characterize difficult or challenging experiences that people sometimes have after taking psilocybin mushrooms. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/bt5 shocked

  5. Tony, Your first post on this thread described placing pressurized tubes where they are not meant to go. You then go on to suggest that “the majority” of us do this/need to do this. These comments are dangerous and misleading. shocked
  6. I have researched the mechanisms of action. You see, I’m the person responsible for bringing mouthpiece set-ups for use in oxygen therapy to treat CH, (Clustermasx) along with cushion facemasks, t-piece valves, larger reservoir bags, extended hoses and demand valve. Introducing a new giving set and new technique which was different from longstanding protocols was difficult enough, convincing CH’ers to change from what they “believed works for them” to what works for everyone, was much, much more. Oxygen in the nasal pathway has no therapeutic value. shocked
  7. Tony, Before I read through a few thousand readers letters going back to 1998 looking for your information. Please can ask that I am getting this straight. You say that you are unable to achieve efficacy from the standard model of Oxygen Therapy that is, breathing O2 into ones lungs. That you can only abort your CH by somehow “sniffing”O2 into the nose/sinus cavity of the affected side. You also seem to be suggesting this phenomena is so prevalent/common amongst Finnish CH’ers that you infer the majority of CH’ers here and beyond also “need” to follow this technique. shocked
  8. Please indicate the source for your information. shocked
  9. In order to discuss in detail the equipment that we use it is important to use the correct terminology. What we use is known as a “giving set” We use it for Oxygen Therapy; and so becomes an “oxygen giving set”. To cope with our requirement to breathe only oxygen a “reservoir bag” with a non return valve fitted. So it is a “non-rebreather oxygen giving set with reservoir bag”. Only the facemask part of the set is in fact a “mask” When using a mouthpiece, the term “mask” becomes redundant. For prescription and insurance purposes, “mask” or “facemask” does not apply the term is “giving set”. Shocked
  10. thank you Bob mate my apologies. love you
  11. Thanks for letting us know, it can’t have been easy, well done Phil mate. Whether you were shaking hands or bumping heads, you knew about it when you met Carl. A big man with a big laugh and an even bigger heart. He went about things in his own “big” way, full on and without any fear, which always left an impression. He had a way about him that brought people close, and a sincerity and warmth that reached out far and wide to many people. I’ll miss his big hearty laugh and bear like hugs. The space he leaves behind is a big one. It’s going to take quite some time to fill. Sleep peacefully Carl mate. ben

  22. Just to clarify Seeds are available “over-the-counter” here in the UK. Unfortunately not “down at the local corner mart” but at most head/smart shops. They are sold in their natural form and pre-prepared (ground/in capsules) Mushroom spores are also available “over-the-counter” Though, there’s a strange law that prohibits the sale of spores along with the growing medium/grow kits. To get around this sales are separated – 2 bags and 2 receipts.  Indeed one might save receipts as medications are VAT (tax)exempt. shocked
  23. Headaches: Through the Centuries By Mervyn J. Eadie Emeritus Professor of Clinical Neurology and Neuropharmacology Honorary Research Consultant University of Queensland Brisbane, Australia Headache: Through the Centuries illuminates the history of headaches with a particular interest in how the disorder has been understood and treated since the earliest recorded accounts, dating from around 4000 BC. Different types of headache were being recognized as early as the 2nd century AD. Over the years, though, the classification of types of headache has changed so that headache patterns described in the past are often difficult to relate to present-day types of headache. Since that time, a great deal of material on the topic has become available, the full gamut of manifestations of the disorder has been described, and considerable insight into its mechanisms has been obtained, though no completely satisfactory explanation of the disorder has yet become available. Providing an extensive history and the development of our understanding of headache over the course of six millennia, Headache: Through the Centuries is thought-provoking and relevant reading for neurologists, medical historians, and anyone interested in headaches. Reviews – "Nobody is better suited to provide a history of headache than Mervyn Eadie, a distinguished neurologist, historian and established author. Here he provides a beautifully written, lucid account of headaches from the time of ancient Greece and Egypt to 2000 AD. He describes classification, ancient and medieval descriptions and the primitive ideas of the causes of headache. Later notions of the clinical phenomena, pathogenesis and treatment are systematically considered in detail, with a good selection of references. Eadie's text, covers the important primary headaches. It is thorough, informative, and in places, suitably contemplative. It is destined to be a classic." -- JMS Pearce, MD., FRCP, Emeritus Consultant Neurologist, Hull Royal Infirmary, Yorkshire, England "This book, written by a lifetime student of headache, Professor Emeritus Mervyn J. Eadie fills a big gap in the headache literature. With admirable control of the old literature, Professor Eadie describes past developments in headache classification, clinical description, pathophysiology and treatment of the most important primary headaches and cranial neuralgias. It is exciting to discover how far intellectual reasoning could take headache science in past times where possibilities for experimental verification were very small. Reading this book is not only entertaining but also provides a wealth of thoughts and new ideas for those who are today studying headache or treating headache patients. I strongly recommend this volume." -- Jes Olesen, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurology, Danish Headache Center, Department of Neurology, Glostrup Hospital, University of Copenhagen, Denmark and Editor-in-Chief, Frontiers in Headache Research Series "Headache rarely destroys life but can destroy many of the joys and pleasures of life for its victims and even attract the scorn of those who are blessed with immunity from headache and lack understanding. There is an intriguing story to be told of one of mankind's greatest scourges throughout the ages and the attempts to elucidate its mysteries. Who better to tell the story than Mervyn Eadie who brings many skills to this task as a clinical neurologist, pharmacologist, teacher, historian and editor? EL. All those active in the field, whether headache sufferers or the doctors that care for them, will find items of interest and maybe sources of inspiration in this rich collection of thoughts from the past." -- Prof James W Lance, AO, CBE, MD, DSc (Hon), FRCP (Lond), FRACP FAA, Prof Emeritus of Neurology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia and Past-President of the International Headache Society "Headache: Through the Centuries is a magisterial analysis of contemporary ideas on headache set in the context of their long and complex histories. Writing both from the perspective of distinguished neurologist with a lifetime of clinical experience and accomplished medical historian, Mervyn Eadie sits his readers firmly in the headache clinic of the 21st century and then escorts us across an historical landscape where [he] celebrates contributions of the many luminaries who signposted the road to modernity but also uses his eclectic and encyclopaedic reading to bring several less well-known figures to our attention." -- Alastair Compston, Professor of Neurology, University of Cambridge, UK and Editor of Brain "Of many books and essays devoted to the history of migraine, this in my opinion yields the best and most assiduous compilation and criticism, quoting many investigators of headache whose work has been unrecognized or neglected. It is a delight to browse and learn from this elegant, well-written text... This work is destined to be a classic." -- J.M.S Pearce, Brain: A Journal of Neurology Extracts at Google Books are a great read - http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=FcXVw8quhUgC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false shocked

  25. I recommend watching the second video/part 2 of Andrew’s presentation at the Mind Altering Science conference (posted above). Future studies proposed by Andrew and Yale are very exiting. Alterative link – http://www.stichtingopen.nl/en/psychedelics/videotheque/open-videos/mind-altering-science-andrew-sewell About Andrew Sewell After graduating with a BA in Physics from Cornell University, Dr. Sewell decided to pursue his interest in entheogens by obtaining an MD from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in 1998 then completing a combined residency in Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine in 2004, where he served as Chief Resident in Neuropsychiatry. Following this, he attended a substance abuse research fellowship at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School, where he served as Managing Editor of the McLean Annals of Behavioral Neurology. He also published the first paper ever on the response of cluster headache to psilocybin and LSD, presenting the data both at the American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting and the International LSD Symposium in Basel in 2006. He followed this with a discussion of the effect of LSA-containing seeds on cluster headache at the 2008 World Psychedelic Forum. For the last three years he has worked at Yale University in the Schizophrenia Research Group under Dr. Cyril D'Souza, studying the effects of psychotropic agents such as THC, amphetamine, iomazenil, and salvinorin A in human subjects. His research interests include the pathophysiology and treatment of cluster headache, mechanisms and characterization of psychosis (both induced and in schizophrenia), and therapeutic applications of entheogens. Dr. Sewell is board-certified in both neurology and psychiatry, serves on the Erowid Expert Network and the Scientific Program Committee of the American Neuropsychiatric Association. He has published widely on cluster headache and the relationship between cannabis and psychosis.
