Sorry to hear ya got The Weird Flu (still) but glad that we made contact during the AustinCon. Did ya ever get those stretchy socks? ( NOT FOR CRANIAL USE--KEEP HANDS INSIDE THE CAR...etc )

So sad to hear this valuable man has passed. Condolences to his family (which includes all of US) and I'm sure you're correct, Bob, about the availability of the product he helped so many to use to such great effect. He will be missed and remembered. Fly free, Pink--hope we see ya on the beach... ------------------ Edit to add part of an email I got from Pink back in '02: The only reason I came to this board was to try to find something that would STOP THESE HEADACHES. I was NOT looking for sympathy, or jokes, or inspirational messages. I was NOT looking for a place to vent my frustrations at incompetent doctors, or to tell others how this hideous disease has hurt me financially, physically and emotionally, or what it has done to my relationships. I'm not good at that touchy-feely stuff, I never have been. There are many others who post here who are much better at that kind of thing than I ever will be, and I know that their posts are valuable to hundreds or even thousands of readers. So, what can pinksharkmark do to give back something of value? I figure the best thanks I can give to DJ and his site is to spread the word about the magic bullet. I have left behind me a trail of posts addressing the legal issues, a likely theory of how it works, tips on identification, dosage, storage and cultivation, links to sites that provide spores, links to sites that detail the chemical similarities between psilocybin and serotonin, links to posts regarding a clinical research project in the planning stages, and even a post or two on my own cultivating experiences over twenty years ago. I think that I have done enough. I think that Flash has done enough. I thank Q and Graham and Stavi for sticking around and giving us progress reports. As Flash pointed out, many others didn't. They took their mushrooms, their headaches stopped, and they vanished from the board. Do I blame them? Not at all. They came here looking for relief, they found it, they reported their success, and then got on with their lives. It's time for me to do the same. on 7/4/02

Here's a link to a Vimeo artist that I originally found on gizmodo.com. [ http://gizmodo.com/5973455/this-trippy-animation-was-made-from-nothing-but-coffee-white+out-and-ink ] That lead me to this: http://vimeo.com/28815014 The last 10 seconds will probably be controversial, but hits home...

Yes, it's possible "they" would be so cold--the truth is obscene--how much Big Pharm *fox* over the American Public. Ya 'spose their lobbyists have anything to do with medical insurance reform? Ya have ANY idea how many congressmen/persons are in their pocket? Brew has it right: get off that crap as soon as possible--it's worse than heroin for dependance--and as bad as alcohol for triggering CH. Longest bout of my life was when I was using 'trex. And that slimy, greasy rush (that makes it stop hurting [smiley=undecided.gif] ) makes my skin crawl as I write this...

Hi Michael, While I'm not familiar with the book, here's a review by Erowid: http://www.erowid.org/library/review/review.php?p=264 and a better price: (for US buyers)Â Â :-/ http://www.abc-clio.com/product.aspx?id=57108 Maybe you can get a US friend to help you out... I see that it was published in 2007--the research is moving quickly forward so it may be a bit dated. Good luck, Steve

and I have no comment....yet. http://gizmodo.com/5807416/the-underground-website-where-you-can-buy-any-drug-imaginable edit to say: I think I have my evening's entertainment cut out for me... 8-)

No[highlight],[/highlight](add comma) firemen [highlight]DO SO[/highlight] have o2. ...fixed it for ya 8-) modify to add: Oxygen is not an accelerant to fire, like gasoline, but is one corner of the fire triangle, i.e. oxygen-fuel-heat. That said, firemen don't take pure o2 into a fire. They do have o2 available as part of the EMT gear.

What a curiously closed-minded thing to say, especially from someone who professes to be educated...

First liar don't have a chance-- :Â but this was my first: my buddy, Jack gave me a small orange pill and Yes, we dancedÂ

Hey Josh- I took the time to check your posts on ch.com and I can see that you're on the right track to getting a handle on the MOFO. We all have been down the same trail, in one way or another, and I'm sure that you ARE getting sympathy from your new 'family'. First thing is: do NOT panic. This affliction will not kill you, although it seems like it. There are things that will help you and others that won't. Oxygen, properly used, is one of the best; has the least side effects, is cheaper, and ..well, just educate yourself with the tools available here and elsewhere. You have, since February when it seems the MOFO entered your life, taken many of the (mostly ineffective) drugs available. Be careful, because a lot of that stuff will empty your pocket and not really fix the problem. I'm pretty sure that what you will learn here will help you more than anything else. YOU have to take control. We are not victims, but it's hard to believe that when it hurts so bad. Again, welcome to the bus, sorry you are here, but I'm sure the way off is not many stops ahead. best, Steve(n4h)

I can appreciate your wanting to go to PM for "further" talk, but first, tell us some more about you and your CH. All we know so far is your age and music preference. Welcome to the bus, sorry you are here... Steve

His "wares" probably saved me from developing CH a lot earlier than it did. I named my dog Owsley for him back in the day. They'll probably meet up for a frisbee... [smiley=engel017.gif]

Thank you, tommyD, for an important contribution to this work. This is the kind of information that we should all point to when trying to spread the word. I know how much work it took to put this together and you should be proud. best regards, N4H (Steve Lichens)

please take this to PM...

I tried all kinds of "stop snoring" products which didn't help and was researching when I came upon sleep apnea. It seemed to fit my condition: night sweats, waking up with a "start", snoring, etc. The CPAP machine I have (Resmed S9 Elite) has an "AUTOSET" and a data card which can be downloaded and read by a respiratory therapist. The machine can then be fine tuned for your particular condition. XMED charges me $90/month with all the headgear, nose mask, humidifier, etc. included. I'm gonna save up and buy my own--cheaper in the long run--like O2 tanks/regulators. YMMV My wife helped me with elbow digs to the ribs and exile to the spare bedroom. She even taped my snoring which was a humbling experience.

Fer what it's worth, I SELF-diagnosed (this can be risky, I know) for sleep apnea. I got my doctor to give me a prescription for a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine which I rent from XMED here in Texas. I cannot tell you how much of an improvement in my life this has made! My wife lets me sleep with her (I snored like a train...), I sleep through the night without waking in a sweat, and I feel much better rested. I can't say it has made a difference in my CH since 'busting has kept me pain free since 2002. (with exception of one short bout when I ran out of pharm product...) YMMV (yer mileage may vary)Â 8-)

uh, I guess just on the link. I mean I've followed the thread without anything popping up, but my Avira anti-virus flashed me a notice when i clicked the marlin page. damfino? notfer

...just a heads up--My anti-virus went off when I clicked on this link. Be careful out there!

uh, what happened to thebbz? sez he's a EX-member? already? ..seriously..wtf? (i'm guessing he fatfingered his profile...)

Dr.J--That would be great! I saw the program last night, caught it on DVR, and watched it twice. Thanks to everybody involved and I hope y'all can get the bromo out to the general population. (but sheesh, those poor over-dosed rats...)Â

Right back at ya! And thanks to Bob, DJ, and all of us who search for a cure. Remember, this thief called clusters will not kill you.
