  1. This is an Oxygen tube with pisper. I find it much more effective to inhale O2 through a mouthpiece, than using a mask. My O2 set-up combines the mouthpiece, with an oversized re-breather bag.
  2. I don't pack them tight and like .25 gr caps for dose incrementations. I love the taste of shrooms (nice and earthy) and have been known to eat powdered shrooms by the teaspoon and wash them down with whatever beverage I may have handy (water, OJ, mango juice, etc.) The capsules make measuring doses quick and easy, as whipping out a scale and weighing when a headache is coming on is not as fast. Plus, capsules are easier to carry around. I have been using small doses to abort headaches for years... not just large doses as a preventative measure.
  3. Ecuador is a good strain for dosing. Sturdy, easy to grow, not wildly intense and has consistently been effective in knocking out my headaches. I dry them cracker dry, then blend them in a coffee grinder to ensure uniform doses (as stems and caps have different potencies -- as do mushroom to mushroom.) I then fill 00 gel caps (with a capsule machine) and store then in a brown (to keep out UV, as UV and heat degrade the potency) vitamin bottle and keep the bottle in a cool, dark place... with a silica pack to absorb any residual moisture. Each 00 capsule contains about .25 gr. (give or take .01 gr.) which I find to be an ideal weight for incremetally increasing my doses from batch to batch, dependant on strenghth and efficacy in eliminating my headaches.
  4. I had a friend tell me that a food supplement (sold by the pyramid scheme his wife was involved in) would cure my headaches and there were even testimonials on their website! (Of course there were... curing everything from vaginitis to clusterheadaches... similar diseases, aren't they?) Same testimonials for Nikken Water Filters, which a friend sent to me (also a pyramid scheme thing) that allegedly cures everything under the sun. This may come as a shock to you, but the filters did nothing for my headaches or anything else. While these people may think they are well intentioned, there is a certain meanness associated with such gullibility as to cause them to offer false-hope to a suffering friend.

    Rant

    Look in the Yellow Pages under "Welding Supplies." Also, eBay carries tanks, regulators, masks, tubing, etc., often with free shipping. When buying a regulator, make sure it fits your tank and goes up to at least 15 LPM. Most CHer's find 11 - 12 LPM is a good flow rate. A rebreather mask is essential when getting a mask. Rebreather masks have a plastic bag hanging from the mask that fills with Oxygen. Many people like to use bubble humidifier (O2 runs through sterile water before entering the mask) to filter and humidify the O2. They attach in-line, typically at the regulator.
