Cluster Cat... Me-OWWW

This gets me always... http://www.myspace.com/music/player?sid=76025766&ac=now just begun...

Right-on Gregg! It seems many are slow coming here because of the legal issues, drug policies at work, social stigma etc. When I first heard of busting my first instinct was to call BS... However, I would challenge anyone to attend a conference and walk away with anything other than excitement over the treatment and where it is leading us.

Venison jerky? Now why wouldn't we like that? I love bambi... yum.

ahhh music, the oxygen of my soul.

Thanks for the nice pics mom, now if I could only remember every one's names :-? Well maybe by the third or fourth conference I will get it.

I heard over 100 clusterheads... according to Bob, largest gathering of our kind anywhere to date... but I think Chicago is going to be a lot bigger. BB = blueballs

There should never be any shame in disappearing when in remission... but you will miss the gratification from being a part of things here as well. 8-) Its all good.

Ya the documentary should be awesome... can't wait. Love you all... had a blast. Wondering if Cindy will be posting pics... she was the only one I saw taking lots of pics. See you all in Chicago 2013.

I think you would be talking about e-harmony with the rejections... they rejected me too. I guess I was "not believable" in my answers to their questionnaire... but in actuality if your answers don't put you solidly into one of their dating categories, they pass on you... they just don't know what to do with you if you don't fit one of their profiles. I don't know of another site that does that. The online thing can be great at weeding out potential mates, but I also found a lot of over anal/rigid women who had their checklists out and did not believe so much in chemistry... and I am a chemistry man. But I think age group had a lot to do with that, you are quite a bit younger than I. It sure does help up the number of women you will meet... and the more you meet, the better the odds.

I just got back from the conference, and WOW! If you have never been to a conference I would put it right up there with oxygen on the priority list. What an amazing healing experience. To meet other clusterheads, share our stories, and realize... others struggle with the same things I do, CH related or not. We are of the same breed, and not only am I not alone, but I am also very much ok the way I am. I am talking real people, real good people, just like me... a little crazy... but crazy strong. Just the raw years of experience in one place was overwhelming. The speakers... what can I say. You see just how hard we are working in advocacy, trying to raise awareness for research, education for doctors and service workers, the struggles entheogen is going through to get us the medicine we deserve... and you begin to really see the home that clusterheads have built for themselves. People say it is important to not let CH rule your life... ok I agree. But, my take on that is you can either suffer through the attacks and get completely free of anything CH for the PF times, or you can accept it for what it is, an integral part of your life, and treat it as such. Take it seriously, and spend time in remission learning more about it, learning how to help yourself better, learning what needs to be done for us all, and getting to work in some way because NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO DO IT FOR US! Ya, you will be trading some PF time for the cause (Your cause), and you will still suffer when things get bad. But now you will know that you are prepared, have done all you could to help yourself, and have a whole family who cares, accepts you for the person you are, and will do most anything to help you through it. Things really happened there. People got love, lots of love, help with the medications they need, questions answered... some got to try oxygen for the first time, and get demonstrations on how to get set up and use the equipment. Farmers were giving lessons, and the atmosphere was rich with the exchange of knowledge. OK... so was it fun? I don't know... we are a bunch of clusterheads... Hell yes it was fun! I don't know if I would have ever imagined laughing my ass off over stories of headbanging and turning into the incredible snot flinging hulk in front of someone at a business meeting... but when talking with other clusterheads where everyone knows the drill, it is damn hilarious. Best money I've spent in quite a while. See you all in Chicago 2013! 8-)

Need a backer to the tune of 10 million to get through phase II trials.

shroomery.org I think.

Also not clear, are you waiting the 5 days between doses? I only ask because it is unusual to go directly from 20 to 100. If not waiting 5 days, that can negate effects.

The best response I have is not all indole's lock in the same way. While we want to avoid locking anything that may inhibit busting, once busted the next step is anybody's guess. I find my best results from a bust are on day 3 and 4 after... can't say if it would be that way if I was trex'n. Not willing to find out at this point. Food for thought.

Let's see... imitrex every what... 3-12 times a day... Did we find the cure yet? Edit: OK, smart ass aside, if you are needing relief for the in between's, I understand... and please tell, I will always give all my knowledge to help end suffering.

Worth a try if you can't get melatonin. I have tried 5-HTP for insomnia... also L-Tryptophan. They can give your body more of what it needs to produce melatonin, but that doesn't mean your body will. Can't say it had any effect on the CH for me.

Very simply, I don't think that guy knew what he was talking about. CGA E-4 as far as I know refers to the standards by which regulators are built, not the valve size/type. CGA 540 is the "connection type" and is the only one I know used for all welding and all larger medical O2 tanks. There may be others, but since this is the standard, purchasing equipment with something else will only set you up for compatibility problems in the future. I would bet $100 right now that the 125 cf tank he was talking about has a CGA 540 valve on it.

Thank you... always nice to know of another good one.

Rent a tank... while you contemplate what you will buy... and shop around. Harbor Freight is good, good prices. As for the mask... I posted a link on the other thread. Worth every penny. Note: Welding regulators have no lpm setting, just turn it up till you can completely fill the bag while exhaling. And, you need a "barb fitting" to fit the hose for the mask to the regulator if it doesn't come with one (the regulator in the above link shows a barb fitting already installed on it).

Go rent one for now... I can usually get a tank Today with around $30 for the O2 and a small rental fee (around $10 a month). Also, if spending money on your own tank... you can get a nice aluminum one that you can actually lift and carry yourself for that price (didn't notice if that one was aluminum, but didn't look like it).

And... that thread you just posted that scared you from welder's O2... did you read the reply? I have researched this extensively. You are right that the evacuation step is what is NOT required... but that just means you might get 1 or 2 liters of normal air in your tank along with the pure O2... in a tank that holds hundreds of liters, it is not an issue. As for introducing contaminants into the O2... believe me, when you are filling O2 and handling large quantities, if you are careless about this part, you are already dead. If you are still worried about this, simply go straight to the wholesale filler/supplier and ask them what the difference is. I have found most evacuate ALL O2 tanks to keep them in tip top shape. Note: Welding gasses (i.e. MIG welding), and pure O2 for welding (cutting torch) are two different things. Pure O2 is pure O2.

Believe it or not, O2 is the cheapest abortive out there. I have not had insurance for 8 years... and if it were not for oxygen, I would have found that bridge a long time ago. Do the welder's O2, you can have it set up immediately no questions asked, no fighting, for cheap. Mask - O2ptimask $30, cheap non-rebreather on Amazon $2 Regulator - in the $30-$50 range depending on what you buy. Tank - get a big one! 125 cu. ft. or better. Most welding supply places will rent, or just give you one as long as you pay for the O2, around $20-$30. To buy a tank is more, around $300-$350 but you don't have to buy one yet. Just get it and see how well it works.

Get the oxygen right! This is the quickest and most effective thing you can do for him. DON'T LEAVE HIM HANGING WITH NOTHING!!!!! That is how they get the name "suicide headaches". This needs to happen NOW! As for the alternative treatment... I understand being careful, especially where a child is concerned, BUT come on... at the doses we are recommending? I would say that with a 1/3 dose... 10-20 RC seeds, or 0.5g shrooms (or equivalent in truffles), he would still be getting more side effects from his thyroid meds. I would say stabilize him on oxygen, then let him learn about the alternative and decide for himself. 15 is not THAT young.

Do get the oxygen... read up this works!
