ClusterSwarm

The thing that got me thinking was how many people had positive results from Benadryl. Why would a histamine blocker stop a headache?

If it helped us get rid of clusters I’m sure many people in here would eat mixed feces. I see your point but that doesn’t mean that the way we eat now opposed to then is better for us. We have become unnatural.

Thanks for responding. I can tell you one of the things I read that woke me up was that people and domesticated animals ie dogs cats ect are the most likely to develop these crazy illnesses. Animals living in there own natural habitat aren’t waking up and drinking the boiled off juice of some plant you can’t eat raw. They drink water. I think if you stick with food that primates are meant to eat and try your best to stay away from refined “ man made” food your overall health will improve and you might shake the torture of clusters. Start with the coffee and tea. For a bonus dump the sugar. Side note. Be prepared to feel like absolute crap for about five days of no caffeine. It will pass but it’s baaaaad in the beginning.

First off I want to say that I want to thank you all. For years I’ve been trolling your forum and I have used so many of your tips and methods. Thank you I think it would be best to start out with how we got here so stick with my. Btw I’m no writer so please don’t be to hard on me. Im 40 years old and I have suffered with clusters since I was 14-15 years old. My family sent me to the best doctors money could buy. All the medical industry could offer me was drugs. I’m sure all of you know the story with primary care physicians . Truth be told I’ve tried everything. When I say that I mean it. I’ve eaten or injected so much meds and drugs that about ten years ago it started to ware on my health. Then I found forums and found oxygen. The oxygen saved my life literally. I get emotional just thinking about it . After years of trial and error with food and vitamins I saw on one of your forums some people were using Benadryl. You guys No the drill as soon as you see another would be cure of course the first thing you do is stop at the store pick it up and take it that night as soon as the monster comes. This was about two years ago. One thing I want to say is that I am no doctor I’m a mechanic. Once I read that people were using Benadryl and getting some relief I started to really dig deep into histamines and the more I read about it the more I realize that some foods and some drinks are toxic. Not toxic in a way that you eat it or drink it and you immediately get sick but toxic in a way that overtime you could have an adverse effect on your health. So I did a search and I studied for weeks what foods contain histamines that are bad for humans and any of you can do a simple search and find the same and one of the main things that I used to use to help with the pain from my cluster especially the day after was coffee or tea. As soon as I cut out Coffee And tea ie caffeine With a full list of histamine rich foods like sausage sandwich meat and things of that nature I noticed an immediate difference I was beginning a cluster cycle and normally my cycles are from 1 1/2 to 3 months I was into my first week and after about 5 to 7 days my cluster is faded away. Please don’t get me wrong I’m in no way saying that this will work for everyone all I can tell you is I haven’t had a break since I was about 15 years old and now I’ve gone for almost 2 1/2 years with no problem . When you try what I did don’t be tempted after a couple days to give up and go straight back because your headaches don’t go away right away things that are toxic in your bloodstream take some time to get out so give it a week or two what if you got to lose. I really hope this helps somebody because cluster headaches are no joke I can’t tell you how many times I thought about ending my life. Thanks for listening
