Solar Temple Suicides Solar Temple Suicides’ debut album mixes hard-edged jam-rock with more psychedelic, spacey music. The Baltimore trio lock in nicely together, creating a strong interplay between drums, bass and guitar. These robust tracks–most go over seven minutes–allow the band time for exploration, something that’s pretty much essential to both psychedelic and jam-oriented music. Fortunately the band members also have enough of a sense of melody to keep songs from flying off of the rails into tedious meandering. Sentinels of the Heliosphere is a pretty decent start for a new instrumental rock band. https://www.popmatters.com/135060-solar-temple-suicides-sentinels-of-the-heliosphere-2496096658.html

Hello, I am sorry that you are here under these circumstances. I will just ask some questions because my approaches deviate from the accepted. Again, I am sorry that you are here. There is a ton of hope. Don't let people fool you. Have you had a PCP, preferably a neurologist confirm that you have Cluster Headaches? If so, an ICD diagnosis. Next, have you been prescribed any medications? If so, what are you taking? Or, what bullcrap have you tried? Pardon the cynism. I never followed thru on it, but yes there appears a casual association between smoking and Cluster Headaches, but to blame that as your source of Cluster Headaches would be speculative. Smoking is a vasoconstrictor and most likely why your attack goes away, the cigarette has nothing to do with it. If that approach works, drink a Starbucks Double Shot, or better a Red Bull. All that Caffeine and Taurine will cause vasoconstriction, among things not worth bringing neuroanatomy into. As far as triggers, that is tough because mine has a mind of its own and comes when it wants. I focus on prophylaxis and aborting when God forbid I get one. There are some things, MSG and processed food. Far too much sugar and caffeine as well. I'm sure others can dial you in. They will help you with doctors, treatment, all of that. I shy away from all of that.

Here, watch this. It was a suggestion guys. That is all. Just use Oxygen or whatever is approved by Cluster Busters and nothing else.

@jon019Once again, interesting. Usually, the research doesn't suggest Naproxen as the frontline option. Again, that is why it is great to get feedback. I thought I mentioned going easy on all NSAID use.

@spinyI prefer these two options, and it depends on the severity of inflammation. If mild, I use the first. If wild, I bump it up to 2,800mg. The second one. So I don't present bias, I will present other solid options. I love Vitacost but to each its own. The Nordic Naturals Liquid 1270mg Option https://www.vitacost.com/nordic-naturals-complete-omega-liquid-lemon-8-fl-oz-1 The Nordic Naturals Liquid 2,840mg Option https://www.vitacost.com/nordic-naturals-ultimate-omega-lemon-4-fl-oz-4 The Carlson Mega Omega 2800mg Liquid Option (Unflavored) https://www.vitacost.com/carlson-norwegian-medomega-fish-oil-concentrate Carlson Very Finest (flavored) 1600mg Option https://www.vitacost.com/carlson-the-very-finest-fish-oil-orange-6-7-fl-oz-1 Liquid (pet hypothesis) appears to have superior absorption properties. Sure, it has an unpleasant taste. Pick your poison, hoarse pills that stick in your throat and don’t absorb, or a simple spoonful? Remember that “a teaspoon of sugar.” https://www.vitacost.com/carlson-the-very-finest-fish-oil-orange-6-7-fl-oz-1

And @spinyshared the real secret to cooking greens, but I don't eat bacon much because I have Scrapple. And not that nasty Rappa from Bridgeville, Hughes Delaware Made. That comes from lower slower Delaware, a different world than the president is from. Anyway, eat Scrapple it will make you happy. You fry the outer and leave it mushy on the inner. Cook it with some yardbird, and I better stop I'm getting hungry.

I will be called the voodoo doctor and cooking up witchcraft for this one, but I refuse to use any OTC pain reliever, and Asprin is nasty, BUT, white willow bark extract (the precursor to Aspirin) is safe and has strong, superior analgesic properties. Here is something from the International Journal of Pharmacology https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Pranay-Wal/publication/353070873_A_Comprehensive_Review_on_the_Medicinal_Plants_for_the_Treatment_of_Headache/links/60e698451c28af34585134ca/A-Comprehensive-Review-on-the-Medicinal-Plants-for-the-Treatment-of-Headache.pdf Here is the product https://www.vitacost.com/now-willow-bark-extract Butterbur regulates the Calcium Channel strikingly similar to drugs such as Toprimate (Topamax), without all the pernicious side effects. You need two 50mg doses a day. The link I provided will give you 75mg per day. It contains Feverfew, which in RTCs is more Bipolar than I am. In seriousness, the data is conflicting and impossible to discern. I would take one a day and not push it. As stated, the Butterbur works better than toprimate, it just doesn't have a pharmaceutical industry touting it. I hope that this helps. https://www.vitacost.com/now-foods-butterbur-60-veg-capsules

I hope that you feel better. Most will argue otherwise, but I will blast several journals, 500mg of APAP and 800mg of ibuprofen can be as potent as hydromorphone. Most opioid analgesics-surprise, surprise-are placebo power. Don't use Naproxen. It must be ibuprofen. The downside of this approach is that prolonged use destroys microbiomes, gut walls, the gut, and hepatic. Go easy. If that works, though I am strongly against it, bacoflin, tizanidine, and Mobiq all seem to help in the people that respond to the aforementioned. I am stating a fact and don't have answers just witnessing in more than a handful of people. It doesn't work often, BUT, when it does, lights out. Tizanidine will make you high off your ass, and knock you out. And baclofen doesn't fare much better. Voltaren targets both inflammatory markers, but it appears an expensive pharmaceutical gimmick. Meloxicam is best. Stay away from the Cox 2 Celebrex, the black box for strokes is there for a reason. Danger ranger, and it doesn't do a damn thing. I hope that you feel better. Sometimes rest is best. My new doctors agree that knocking yourself out is the best option when in pain (FYI).

Increase what? As for the immune system, echinacea is proven to be pseudoscience. Stay heavy on Vitamin D, and go up to 800mg in divided doses with the magnesium. I would push it higher if necessary. I don't know the exact amount that can be absorbed in one dose, but I would not push more than 400mg at a time. With ascorbic acid, your body can't process it or much, because it is synthetic and derived from GMO corn. Try eating fruits loaded with C or a plant-based C.

If you want to keep buying that $10 bottle, that is your choice. I hope this helps. In this case, it is, “you get what you pay for.” Edit: I am trying to find a reliable source on vitamin and mineral supplement quality that isn’t easy though. Much I know has the propensities to produce extremely expensive urine. At this point, I am experimenting with quality control, it is costing a fortune, and most of what is purported to be of great quality is garbage, downright dangerous. I will look into the vitamins and minerals as well.

As I suspected, a few years back there was a reason for the push to use only pharmaceutical grade omega-3, most of the market stuff is garbage. From the venerable Science, which I trust considerably more than Consumer Labs (I won’t disclose), Nordic Naturals and Carlson are the best. I swear by Nordic Naturals, especially the Nemechek protocol approved 2,840mg one (jackpot). Carlson is always sold out on iHerb, Vitacost, and Amazon. It will set you back $40 a month, but you get what you pay for, BIG TIME. The Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega, Liquid, 2840mg is so potent that mainstream psychiatrists use it as frontline treatment in Borderline Personality Disorder. I know, after 25 years of polypharmacy and most likely a million or two billed to insurance, that in 3 months I am a brand new person that know one recognizes. That is the Nemechek protocol approved choice, even Dr. Amen approves, he produces his own FYI. If you read this far https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S0889157519305137?token=C58EF8063CA3EE0CDCA9A292D5659882F55A2A8D63A7E4ED57F984890342B97D12E41EF47D1C64E9ED17EEE9782C36E5&originRegion=us-east-1&originCreation=20211210000327

@BoscoPiko This seemed to be all too common in my life (long story)

Here is another Baltimore band and no I wasn't watching Fast Times.

If you can have it covered, consult a neuro specializing in sleep studies. I find it useless unless you snore the roof off. Avoid the hypnotic Ambien and for Christ's sake Halicon. For that matter, all benzos and barbiturates. I remember coming close to driving while asleep on Ambien, we had to lock the keys at night. And, Halicon is considerably worse, it is illegal about everywhere but the U.S. and so I don't incriminate myself I won't go there.

Hydroxyzine coma does it for me. The circadian rhythms are hijacked in CH, hypothalamic issues which were already discussed. Because Hydroxyzine isn't addicting I haven't meant a prescriber that hasn't laughed or agreed that hydroxyzine coma isn't fitting or a perfect idea. It doesn't help if you use it every day. The Elavil that you are prescribed has a strong antihistamine profile. It is a tricyclic from the 1950s.

Update, and I can't find the damn sources, Dr. Amen the double board-certified psychiatrist stated that prolonged use of marijuana leads to a 400% increase in psychosis, and schizophrenia. As I already knew, it can cause profound depression and suicidality thought to be nonexistent in clinical practice since modern pharmacotherapy. On the other hand, when one has a predisposition it is well known in academic circles it can flip one Bipolar and not in the soft spectrums, or the mild Bipolar II. Often, classic Bipolar I. I should say to anyone that is mixed bipolar (extreme and living hell), then Bipolar I is a cakewalk, and Bipolar I observes Bipolar II as mild. You get the idea, nothing personal. Throw in Borderline Personality Disorder (Borderpolar) oh boy. It is nothing short of pill-popping manic depressive crackpot, batshit shitshow, Borderpolar’s R Us crazy train. While the verdict is up in the air on the NMDA drugs, I don't need to wait. Put a Ketamine infusion in the wrong person and the results are disturbing, worse than Marijuana. In my case end-stage, catatonic depression leading to 60 Bi-Lateral Bi Frontal, High Frequency, Electro Convulsive Treatments (Shock Therapy). This type of depression is never seen, and only a few hundred in the world are seen with this. Only 60,000 people receive shock treatment, of which only a select few receive bilateral. It is becoming more common as marijuana and drugs like Ketamine become widely and readily used. It's an epidemic in the making. The suicide rate is up I believe over 10,000% since 1989, don't quote me. So I don't get banned, I won't get into the evidence of what happens with the other psychoactive(s) in a mentally disturbed test subject. It's devastating. Simply put, even in what society deems normal this stuff can be a ticket to the funny farm, and I met people in private posh funny farms that will never return from that trip.

I understand and have crap days, but I refuse anything new and without substantial backing. And on that note, I refuse all abortive medications. I'm trying to avoid taking any medication unless it is to prevent me from going mental. My parents are in their 70s and have impeccable health because they refuse medications unless essential, and then only on the shortest duration as possible. That is the philosophy I am taking, and the results are impressive. I use nutraceutical approaches (not herbal medicine and snake oil) to treat my issues as much as possible, to each its own. Good luck in finding relief. Sometimes it is a process and sometimes it is a vicious circle.

To be fair, folate deficiency does run in women, as does iron. That could be the possible link. Otherwise, it is kind of funny. I did read a lot of batches stuff years ago, say 2013 (or was it 2014?) thru 2015 and I would have to review it again. It’s been some time. I used to be all on board the megadose wagon until I started seeing far to much conflicting evidence, and that evidence did not come from competing interests. As I was taught everything in moderation. If it is that bad, IV looks like the best recourse (if that option exists). My issue with that option is purely cost. The Nemechek Protocol is $1,000 for the first visit and that doesn't include the travel and lodge. By law, this doc can't do telehealth for the first visit, and neither can Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, who charges $2,000 for an initial visit. A local functional trained under his protocol charges $650. It is not cheap. Naturopaths are nothing short of voodoo Doctors like chiropractors. Strike that option dead. Both have gone under scrutiny. I don't know where to find the money, but I will have to. Western Medicine has nothing short of a terrible track record. And ask anyone with a history like mine, they are in the business of keeping you barely functioning by proxy of pharmaceuticals. I got 50% better by avoiding doctors and quitting meds by secretly tapering (I knew what I was doing). I used to get meds and throw them in the wastebasket. I finally told the docs and quit. Problem partially solved.

I find this interesting, appreciate the insight, and this has popped up on my radar before. Regarding the oxidative stress that it purports to reduce, my approach would be to target the offenders first: sugar, simple carbs, low concentrations of EPA/DHA/Omega 3, Vitamin D, and of course the key trace minerals and micronutrients. Without a hair analysis, which I can't afford, I am pissing in the wind. It creates expensive urine when you take a bunch of supplements to treat nutrient deficiencies that may not exist. And I create the paradox because I hate all the nutrient-dense vegetables. Go figure. Regarding the MSM, I am still interested in short-term prophylaxis. It appears to be a reasonably priced option to reduce inflammation. As with nutrients, it would be futile if you don't repair the leaky gut, as well as eradicate sugar and eliminate processed foods and bad carbs. I found it interesting that MSM can reduce parasites (benefit), and improve intestinal health (benefit). Regarding it being a free radical scavenger and its role in nitric oxide, my knee-jerk reaction was proper Vitamin C saturation. And not Vitamin C from ascorbic acid, rose hips, and so forth. Some supplements provide the true form of Vitamin C and your last name needs to be Rothschild to afford it. All the evidence looks great; however, there is only a paucity of data, small sample sizes, and most research stopped by 2003. There are scattered studies, but zero clinical trials since 2003. What is more, I did what I can recall from meta-analysis and none of the studies or clinical trials did a lab draw on homocysteine levels. If it works then why eliminate a simple lab test? That is its purported benefit and after combing through over 50 publications, not one had a homocysteine level, and the paucity of data was concerning. To be fair, there isn't money in curing someone. The fact that research stopped tells me the opposite of what an untrained eye would surmise. Most likely, it works damn well and they (you know who) attempted a brilliant cover-up. There is one way to find out, do a baseline homocysteine draw and follow up every three months while taking a starter dose of 1 gram. If the results aren't promising, double down. Most studies included Glucosamine and Chondroitin, which I don't even know a naturopath pushing nutraceuticals to their brother would recommend. That gives the age of the publication. They proved that Glucosamine and Chondroitin are all placebo. I would suggest a trial run of 1gram of MSM, with Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega (2800mg of EPA/DHA Omega 3 Nemechek protocol approved), Garden of Life Raw Code Vitamin D3 (5,000 IU), Garden of Life Chewable Digestive Enzymes, Garden of Life Raw Organic Perfect Food Green SuperFood, Garden of Life Perfect Food Super Green Formula Berry (5 servings of fruits and vegetables), Garden of Life My Kind (Women if a Woman and age range), or Garden of Life My Kind Men's Multi (Age and Man if a Man), the multi is $60 but is all plant-based the only on the market, it is two months thus $30 a month (a steal), Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw C, Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Probiotics Mood+ Acidophilus (buy the refrigerated), Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Whole Food Magnesium raspberry or orange powder (this is pure 350mg of plant based you will absorb all and not poop it all out), Life Extensions Only Trace Minerals. Cost per month $116.20 + my grocery bill of under $200= $300 to $315 for a sane and balanced nutrient dense diet. It is working. And I eat all organic. Note on Fe (Iron): incontrovertibly women have this issue and I have no clue on what supplement to recommend. I use a regional egg brand called Eggland’s Best which is loaded with all natural Vitamin E, Over 500mg of Omega 3, and about 65% of my RDA in iron. I also consume 4 large of said brands eggs each day, with a serving or two of cheese. I do avoid margarine and trans fats. Butter I will use occasionally. My total cholesterol is 170, screw the 90s myth that eggs and butter are terrible. Eggs are a perfect food and organic butter is fine. That nasty shit they call Country Crock will kill you fast. For lunch, it is a can of low-sodium organic beans, which is loaded with fiber. I am far less concerned about taste than protein count. Some beans exceed 30 grams (you can’t process that much in one setting). I strive for under 15 grams of protein. I eat a few servings of veggies, and nothing fancy. I don’t count calories or carbs. That isn’t necessary if you avoid sugar, starch, simple carbs, and bad fats. If my tummy growls, nothing scientific I eat something that isn’t simple carb loaded. Even I realize that you need carbs. Don’t ask, but even I strive for the RDA with complex carbs. KISS (keep it simple stupid). I eat one organic yard bird (chicken breast) with Olive Oil and fresh herbs every night, nothing fancy. If I do feel tired and instead of calorie counting I add cheese, and find whole foods to add. And with each meal I consume a 7 gram all natural fiber that I forgot to add in. I struggle but manage to consume about 2 servings of veggies with dinner, frozen, to hell with chopping and to hell with carb counting, are you nuts? If hungry in between I eat pistachios. But only one serving. My lab draws are the best that they have been in decades, but I am still a train wreck waiting to happen. The damage that I did to my body may be beyond repair. Jen Sais Pas. Time will do. I do know that my migraine days are down to once, at most twice per month, and I was intractable. Concerning Cluster Headaches, I was intractable and I think it has been two months since my last bad bout. And usually it is one and done. Im euthymic after a 7 year, and several should have been fatal run with mental health and borderline addiction. I have a long way in that department but I don’t recall being this stable since childhood, pre-puberty. There is still a shitload of CBT work to learn how to be around people, make these things called friends, and things like that. My C reactive is down substantially, most inflammatory markers are drastically reduced, and I am now at the point that I need to see a functional NP and have a hair analysis to figure out the exhaustion. If I could figure that out, I could return to university and get on with my life. Ultimately come off disability. You have to take quality supplements, I mean whole plant based and few exist. Also, you must eliminate everything that you would buy in the supermarket. If you pay attention, all the healthy stuff is way in the back or in the most inconvenient places. And with COVID, I don’t have issues with groceries because everyone purchases chips, pop, bread, ie, grains, cereals, starches, sugars, etc. If it is empty at Harris Teeter, Wegmans, Target Greatlands, you should not be eating it. I would suggest that you skip the theatrical performances and shop at Trader Joe’s compared to its sister company it is much cheaper and the quality of people is much better. Respectfully, shopping at Aldi is even worse than dealing with people at Wal Mart. Much of the novelty treatments don’t seem necessary if you address the underlying cause.

It was a valid and honest question and there is nothing to be ashamed about. What I need to review in the Vitamin D protocol is if Vitamin K is included. You can't have D synthesis without K. Well, proper. And for that matter, I need to continue research on where the hell these doctors are purchasing their Vitamin D from, as their 25 Hydroxy Levels are at 100 nano consuming just 3,000 IU per day. And I guess that they consume Vitamin K as well. It would be the same disaster as taking zinc w/o copper. If you take zinc alone, you deplete your copper levels and a dead ringer is that it will be 90 degrees and you will have a pea coat on.

Perhaps someone will find this of interest. Red Meat consumption, pork consumption, and some dairy contains Neu5Gc, which enters the body as a threat to the immune system, and as expected antibodies are produced. Chronic consumption leads to severe inflammation, which is something that I can attest to. My C reactive dropped substantially by eradicating all of the aforementioned organ meats. Furthermore, all of the aforementioned increase your risk for certain cancers by as much as 30%. The idea of ketosis is quite contentious. After 30grams of protein per day, your gut sheds anyway and recycles all of that protein. Excessive protein consumption can, and often make you fat. If you study Dr. Atkins, he started with a high-quality fat diet and low protein and was skinny. He converted to high protein and died obese and gravely ill. Cut out the added sugars. The rest is bullshit. Well, eliminate bread, cereal, donuts, waffles, that type of shit food that you know you should not be eating. And quit the Mickey D’s and processed food. Simple carbs will kill you. If you follow, that should stop most inflammation. It is expurgated, but insulin resistance causes fibromyalgia and a good chunk of the inflammatory markers. This Neu5Gc research was published in Nature, Science, and the top venerable journals. I didn't bother with those journals because my access is restricted. Instead, I posted two laymen articles that cite those journals and one journal about said discussion. Certainly, nutrient deficiencies are problematic, but it begins with diet-garbage in and garbages out. You can take the proper supplements and not accomplish anything if you still eat that fries and shake every day. These are quite old for journals, but the evidence stands. I didn't feel like digging up recently published. All of the above destroys microbiomes and causes a leaky gut. If you need toilet paper then your gut is in dire straits. You read that correctly, you shouldn't require any toilet paper. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/10/161019160201.htm https://medicalxpress.com/news/2008-10-red-meat-disease-causing-bacteria.amp https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/112/2/542.full.pdf Well, this is a recent link to cancer https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/s12916-020-01721-8.pdf

Edit: you were inquiring about a website and not what worked for each of us? At least I think that is how I was supposed to take it. I closed the site, as I refuse to be forced into becoming a member to read about efficacious treatments. I hope that you find the proper treatment(s). Sometimes it is an experiment, and when you think you have it, it is back to square one. Good luck.

I will follow up soon and always do if I feel that it is important to reply. That foreigner song double vision is more like I am blinder than if Stevie Wonder and Ronnie Millsap could consummate and procreate a blind child. It's been getting real and it is that time of year. I can't escape this time of year, even if drugs such as headache blocker 10000, depression blocker 10000, and fucitol existed.

Insurance keeps a lid on its formulary, accounting, and assessment approaches. I had the opportunity to take an advanced accounting course in accounting for CMS expenditures and should have taken it. To say that is esoteric would be an abuse of language. They have methods and reasons for everything. Good luck with your success. You must be on private sector insurance? Well, if you can call it that. Regardless, that is great to hear and why I tell people to try it if it is covered or affordable.

I'm not going that far, but if it happens, and while I'm all for a good conversation admit I am diverting (for obvious reasons). I have a background that I can't discuss and I just want a return to the center. That has not existed in my lifetime. Regarding happiness, you need to be free, provided it respects others' property and rights. I would go as far as private law, but again, diverting. I'm getting nailed lately. This isn't surprising, depression and headaches, oh, and pain all go hand-in-hand. Then, the fibromyalgia flairs up, it is turning into that yearly disaster. Next comes the ticket to the looney bin. I may be gone or could be around. If you have been around the block a few times, taking pain meds, abortives only exacerbates the problems. If it gets too bad I will get a script for a hypnotic and knock my ass out. I'm already at the point that I'm blowing up my few medical provides phones begging for Phenergan knowing damn well at best I will get useless ondansetron. Like that antiemetic will abort or stop nausea. Anyway, it is that time of year, and it gets real. So I will try to stay in the loop. I should be back to normal soon. If not, I will figure out how to pay for IV Magnesium and C infusions.
