Hi to everyone here im new to this site but i have suffered from chronic cluster headaches for the past 6 years.There has not been 1 day in the last 6 years where i have had a single day without having any where between 3 to 8 severe attacks per day.Ive had everything that medical science has had to offer,sumatriptan ,verapamill,botox injections imgality,nerve blockers,you name it and nothing work as most of those treatments were only proven to help people that had episonic clusters but not affective for chronic cluster headaches. It got to a point where i was that depressed that thinking about suicide was my only option to end my suffering and even went as far as paying $14000 dollars to buy a funeral plan before ending my life.Then after watching several videos of people claiming that taking magic mushrooms or lsd gave far better results in very small micro dosages of 0.4 grams every 3 to 4 days had far better results than any medications with no nasty side affects what so ever i started taking shrooms and to my suprise i was getting alot less attacks per day and not as severe.Then i started looking into something that no one really ever talks about and that is ECS short for Endocannabinoid system wich is something that we are all born with our bodies naturally produce endocannabinods however as we are all different so some of us dont produce enough of this compound in our body and funnilly enough i found that people that suffer from chronic migraine and cluster headaches were the ones that were lacking this enzyme.The reason we have cluster attacks as far as i know is due to vessels in our brain become inflammed and cause the vessels in our head to swell up and put pressure on the trigeminal nerve just above our ear and intern sends severe pain signals to the nerves behind your eye your nose your cheek bone and your jaw line and in my case even my neck.So i thought well if this theory is correct then how can i increase endcannabanoids in my system that my body could not do naturally.And thats where my life changed completely.I got onto a company who was liscenced to sell very pure high grade CBD oil which had no thc in it but had the cannabanoids CBD,CBG and CBN also particularly CBG which has a very powerfull inflammitory property bound to it but also helps greatly with dealing with chronic pain, so i thought well if its such a powerfull inflammitory then if it reduces the swelling in blood vessels in my head then it will not put pressure on the trigeminal nerve.Low and behold from the first day i took a very small dosage of 0.2mlg under my tongue twice a day it was instant.For the first time in 6 years i went a full day without a cluster attack it was almost to good to be true ,but 4 weeks have past since ive been taking this particular CBD oil and my clusters have dissapeared completely.Doctors say they just dont have a cure or know why people get cluster headaches well all i can say is they need to start looking into the endo cannabanoid .I urge any one here suffering from this debilitating illness to try it i mean what have you got to loose buy giving it a try .After having chronic clusters for 6 years without have not 1 day without at least 3 to 8 attacks per day to just stop completely from taking this CBD oil cannot be just a coincidence.I feel your pain and only want to give you another possible option that is drug free with absolutely no side affects that comes with traditional medication,and if you would like to talk to me personally about how to go about it im happy to leave a number if you would like to talk to me personally.

My husband started getting episodic cluster headaches in 2002. They affected his life so terribly he lost jobs, and missed tests at college. He worried about ever being able to hold down a job, or be a functional person in society- if he was taken out for 6 weeks, 2-4 times a year. Imitrex nose spray helped but only delayed the headaches- they always came back, and the rebound was worse than riding them out to begin with as they were often longer headaches than the 60 minute ones he had. I loved this man, to see him in agony was torture in its own right. I resolved that if the cure to cluster headaches was ground up Mona Lisa, then I was off to France with a ski mask in my luggage. My research began, to see what others had discovered, since doctors were damn near no help. In 2008 I found Clusterheadaches.com and it helped. Oxygen brought relief in 20 minutes. I learned how to crack a tank and properly attach hardware and valves and it scared me to do but what of it. But that wasn't enough. He was tied to the tank on the wall or small portable tanks. The search continued. I found clusterbusters.com in 2009. I had never done any drugs but I bought spores in cash, grew two fishtanks worth, dried them, and micro-dosed him. He only had to do it 6 times or so before the cluster headaches were gone forever. He'd feel the shadows come on, microdose, do it again a bit later, and poof- no cycle. They eventually left and just never came back. He spent over 13 years cluster headache free (we had 25 amazing years together) before he passed away in his sleep at 49 years old from complications from sleep apnea. This man, who worried what would become of him, got a double bachelors with honors in History and Cultural Anthropology and then got a Masters with Honors in Secondary Education. He became a History Teacher. He was nominated by his students to be an educator hero in his first year of teaching. We had 3 beautiful daughters. He taught them to fish and camp and cook and laugh. We traveled extensively. He kayaked the Pecos River. We had a glorious life. And I am so thankful that he got out from the shadow of this disease. And he was able to stand in the sun and live unhaunted by it for 13 amazing years. I will always be grateful to Cluster Busters for what it gave to my husband. So, so thankful. From the bottom of my heart- thank you, from me (Lauren) and from him (Lucas) You gave the world back a good man, and we are all better for it.

All interesting !! I've just started my 7th episodic CH cycle. I get every 2 years like clockwork. 6 weeks to 20 weeks. I have tried many things. I completely quit drinking, and managed to skip a cycle. Well .. here I am with another failed hope. At least I'm 4 years sober, and off all the narcotics I was doing on my downward CH depression spiral. Here is what works for me: O2 is always my best cure!!! Once I feel it coming on. (Eyeball pain, then temple, then jaw, then left side of neck) Starts mild, but I normally have about 20 minutes before I'm in full blown can't bare it pain attack. I rub Vicks vapor rub on the temple, jaw, and neck. Then 15 ppm oxygen. Boom!! Within 5 or 10 minutes. It stops. Most times before I am in the unbearable part. I don't know why, but the Vicks works great!! Even by itself sometimes. Very hot, warm wet towel over the affected side works also over the Vicks. Sometimes O2 isn't available, so I have learned these neat other busts. Especially from these forums. Sumatriptan shot works great, but really shouldn't use more than 3 times a week, and have extended my cycles if I do use it alot. Varapamil 3 times a day for a few weeks has still won for my shortest cycle period. I hope this helps someone. I really didn't understand why the Vapor rub works, but after reading this discussion bout the histamine stuff, maybe there is something to it. Who knows. I have never been down so many rabbit holes about anything in my life like I have with the CH. The how, what, and why's. I appreciate you all, and sympathize with you all. It's a brutal disease. We all gotta live with it, and there are ways to cope. Ya just gotta find what works for you I think. It can be managed, ya just gotta believe it!! Life is good!!!

I very much appreciate this report, and as you say, it probably couldn't hurt for people to give it a try. It's wonderful that you have experienced this relief! I will say that you are far from the first person who has reported here on trying CBD, and some have indeed reported good results -- though not a "cure," which is not a word we use here lightly, and surely not until at least a couple of years have gone by. If you (or anyone else reading here) want to see past reports related to CBD, just put CBD in the search bar located at the top of each page (here's an example: https://clusterbusters.org/forums/topic/5581-cbd-i-know-i-know-but-bear-with-me/#comment-56361). Of course, it is possible that through your research you might have hit on just the right oil and/or just the right dosage and/or who-knows-what other "just right" thing that gets it all aligned. If you don't mind, I have a few questions/requests: Two questions here: (1) Did you continue dosing with shrooms? (2) Would you point me to one of those videos you mention, making that specific recommendation ("small micro dosages of 0.4 grams every 3 to 4 days")? As the first site specifically created to encourage/help people to use psychedelic substances to treat CH, we try to keep track of what people are saying out there about how to do it, and I have not seen videos making this recommendation (which is different from what we have learned here about the best way of treating CH with psychedelics). As people here know, I like to dig into the research, so I have the same request: Would you be kind enough to point me to one of the studies you found showing this deficiency in people with CH? I have tried googling, and I have found research about hormones lacked by people with CH (one study, for example, says "CH often show accompanying neuro-endocrinological changes such as a blunted circadian rhythmicity of hypothalamically regulated hormones including testosterone, cortisol, growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, prolactin, melatonin, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone..."), but I haven't located anything about endocannabinoids and CH.

I am soooo excited to announce that Clusterbusters is going camping July 23-25, 2021 in the Shenandoah Valley! We hope that you will join us. More information and registration can be found here: https://cureforclustercamping2021.planningpod.com Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I'll try to check in here, but also feel free to email me at eileen@clusterbusters.org.

Hi all, Due to the pandemic, we have once again needed to postpone our Cure for Cluster Cocktail party in NYC. We'll be sharing more info about the new date soon. Also, we are having some challenges with arranging our camping trip due to the pandemic, so for now that is on hold. We hope to pick up the planning for that soon and it is still a goal for 2021. Our conference is still planned for September and as soon as we have details ready, we'll open registration for that. It's been a difficult time with event planning, but we look forward to getting together soon. We miss you all.

I have had chronic cluster headaches since 2018. I tried multiple things to help with my headaches. I had sinus surgury, I tried all the common medications available (Prednisone, Gabmapenton, you name it) I tried Mushrooms and LSD. NOTHING WORKED AT ALL. I found a video on YouTube after a really bad headache at 3:00 in the morning. It was a lady who was cured by Dr. Shevel in South Africa. I called him the next day. I went there for 3 months. He CURED my headaches! He understands what causes them and how to cure these headaches. Please ask me more. I am happy to share this and many many stories of a CURE!!!! here is the video I saw.....

What if someone really found the cause of and a cure for cluster headaches? What would happen? How would they get the word out? Might they be suppressed? So often the answer to these questions just comes down to the money involved in treating, rather than CURING many debilitating "diseases". I have no idea how much money has gone into CH research, but I do know the COST of treatment. About 18 years ago, I began suffering from intense headaches around my left eye, which were first diagnosed as sinus headaches and treated with typical antibiotics, to no avail. Then it was diagnosed as something like "sphenopalatine neuralgia". The first treatment they gave me for that was an epilepsy drug called Neurontin. But they didn't tell me that this drug might permanently wipe out much of my long term memory and also most of my short term memory. After 7 days on this drug I began having great difficulty putting a sentence together. I would start to speak what I was thinking and after several words, the next word just would not come into my mind so I could speak it. It was almost as if I had had a stroke, and had lost my memory of many of the words I knew all of my life. It was almost a full year before I was able to "re-learn" many of the words I had been using my whole life, to a point that I could again carry on an intelligent conversation. Much of my long term memory is now gone forever. I used to know all of the words to hundreds of songs that I grew up with in the 60's, and now no matter how many times I hear them again, I can't sing along with them without having the lyrics displayed on YouTube. This is part of the "cost" of treatment that I referred to earlier. I immediately trashed the rest of the very expensive bottle of about 300 pills they had put me on.. So now, without further boring my audience, I will get to the reason why I chose the name DragonKiller. I have gone through so many large (H) bottles of oxygen that I can't count them. I own my own O2 bottles for welding, and I also went through 2 Oxygen regulators for those bottles over the years. I can now offer a large Oxygen bottle for sale along with the regulator to anybody in need of it. I think that to purchase the bottle today from a welding gas supply company would cost around $400. By the way, these are the very same ALL GREEN large Oxygen bottles that I have seen being delivered to the "basement" of hospitals, by the very same company that I had refill my bottle whenever it ran empty. They hook them up to manifolds in the basement of the hospital, where they then pipe Oxygen to all the places in the hospital where they might need it. So if anybody is interested, it is for sale very reasonably. It costs around $30 to fill it, and it is currently full, but I no longer need it. For over 16 years I have had what started as episodic headaches, and within 4 years became chronic headaches. For the last ten years I had as many as 4 separate headaches per night, each lasting for 45 minutes to one hour. I survived each one by breathing nothing but pure oxygen for the duration of the headache. As soon as I felt a CH coming on, before the pain got really bad, I would go to my "treatment area" and "hook up" to my O2. This did not STOP the headache, but it kept the pain to a level no greater than it was at the time I started the oxygen. As of today, I have not had a single headache for 1 year, 8 months and about 20 days. Through a very interesting series of events, my headaches were completely cured in one night. Something strange happened that one night, and when I woke up that next morning I absolutely KNEW that I had finally Killed the Dragon. My headaches were CURED, and I now knew that my long time theory about the cause was correct, at least for me. So what now? How would I be able to get this theory proven by "medically accepted" testing and trials. I am not a doctor, so what do I do? When I told my Neurologist who had been treating me for the last 4 years what had happened, and what I thought might be the cause, he just said; "Oh that's impossible." "We know exactly what causes them. It is some kind of irritation of the nerve that comes out of the back of the head and runs to the face, and there are all kinds of treatments for it, but there is no cure." That was nearly one and a half years ago, and he has now retired, taking the knowledge of a possible cure with him into his retirement, without ever having offered any of his other CH patients the opportunity to try what I had given him. So what to do? Can anybody out there help me? What happens if there IS a cure? All the research money goes away. Many thousands of people might be able to lead normal lives again, but many doctors and researchers and drug companies, and maybe even this website would no longer be making money off of this horrible malady called CLUSTER HEADACHE, and also appropriately known as THE BEAST. I called it "The Dragon". And I finally drove the spear through its heart and killed it.

Can you get her user name? I think that 'most' things that help should be applied here perhaps. I had a mysterious 10 year full remission two decades ago too, but those suckers happen on their own from what I can gather. I was chronic and they just stopped one night. But, I was not cured and when they returned they were all nocturnal and that was a first. So, yes, remission is possible, but don't count on a cure. You and Dr. Shevel have the same hairline, jawline and smile! Remarkable....... I am delighted for you being pain free currently! Enjoy it and may you never experience another cluster! And I definitely share your delight with your results. The word 'cure' is hard to swallow here and for good reason. ATB

@Douglas Wardwhat gets me with your posts , is you jump in with i have the cure , then you say you still get attacks, so when people question you , you say its just my experience, so it's NOT a cure!!!!!! It's just your experience!!!!!!!!!. Then you attack the group , if you are cured from CH buddy I would just leave this group , NO need for you to be here ,

Hi guys, I would like to share with you my findings about the cause and the cure for my extremly painful cluster headaches. Im having this nightmare pain from when i was 18y old, they started to appear every fall and lasted exactly one month, once a day in the same time every day while sleaping and sometimes during the day after a drink etc etc.. Then they were gone, when i started hitting the jim hard, 5 years have passed after my last episodes and than BAM! Three weeks ago the beast have returned, the first few days advil have helped, at least i think it helped, after that only warm bottle with cover filled with boiling watter eased the pain but still i needed to take Zolmitriptan 2.5mg to abort the attack within 40minutes, this time i was having 6 attacks per day and feared of the side effects that triptans do, after 10days i started to have chest pains along the clusters (side effect od zolmitriptan i think). I was calling everywere in my country to find and buy Medical Oxygen with no avail, they said that are not selling for house use because is 15L per minute and 40L canister (8h breathing oxygen). So i started to do my thorough research, i started questoning why after hard jim workouts i had five years pain free period. I started to learn the musscle structures of our body (the back expecialy) and bam! I found interesting study that the "Upper Trapezius" can bring the pain in our head that we are experiencing, that is happening because our stiff muscles and we need to ease that pain with the fastest "Myofascial trigger rellease points" therapy! All you need is one tennis ball or in my case i used hard apple. In one day my pain was gone, f..king gone, the next day i experienced tension headache but advil has dealt with it.. 13 f..king years with the beast pain that f...ed up my daily life. This links bellow will help you begin to understand the Myofascial release therapy and after that google is your friend. The Upper Trapezius caused my pain, i hope it will help you too... (Admin, Links removed that are selling a supposed cure device) Happy New and pain free Year to you all!!!

Hello everyone!! Have you registered on the Clusterbusters “Patient Registry” yet? Over the years, Clusterbusters has built the largest worldwide patient database in the world. Become a member of the database and possibly a participant in a research project that will lead to better treatments and eventually a part of the cure. By completing this form, you are not registering for a specific study that is underway or that will start in the future. You are not agreeing to become a participant in anything. You are only agreeing to the possibility of being contacted in the future to ask for your participation. Research studies sometimes only require your participation from home. It may only require completing surveys or questionnaires. Some of you may have recently done this for the work underway at Yale University. Some clinical studies require your participation in other ways. Some may include travel. Each study has different requirements. Choice of participation is yours and that of the study investigators and does not involve Clusterbusters in any part of the process. This registry is open for everyone. There are no requirements of past, present or future choice of treatments or any particular cluster headache or human traits. People from all walks of life, all ages and every description, suffer from cluster headaches. We are presently involved in several ongoing research projects as well as several others that are in the long process of approval. As we are involved in research on an international basis, this survey is open to everyone worldwide. We encourage anyone with cluster headaches to respond and help inform others of its existence. As many studies focus on certain segments of the cluster population, episodics vs. chronics as an example, you may not be contacted for every study that is underway. Be a part of a better future for cluster headache patients and participate in our registry. As you will see again on the forms themselves, all of this information is and will remain completely private. The survey, all data and any and all future distribution is administered by the Clusterbuster’s Administrative panel and members of its medical advisory board. Information and people will move the research forward. Please be a part of this. Just the completion of the questions on this short survey, by the thousands that are included, helps gather important information. Please share this with others you may know that suffer from clusters. If you know of anyone that does not have access to a computer, contact us at info@clusterbusters.org and we will mail a written copy for completion and inclusion. To participate, please go to this link: http://tinyurl.com/n9ou73a Some of the questions may give you an idea of some of the projects we are currently working on and there will also be more information available at this years conference. Even if you can't make the conference, we'd love to have everyone here on the registry. Thank you Bob Wold Clusterbusters

It’s real interesting what comes up if you search “cure” Click here 26 pages! I only got through the first few but it’s real interesting.

Chose this board because it has the most posts. Apologies if it needs to be removed. I do not apologize for using the term "cure". I love all of you guys, and I'm sharing this completely catch-free because I believe I found it. IMMEDIATELY MANAGING "SHADOWS": Over the 10 years or so of battling bi-annual attacks, I have come to find the best therapy during a shadow(or an attack for that matter) in thr absence of medication is massaging a small area at the base of the skull and even the trap muscle of the affected side. I picked up a Brookstone Brand Shiatzu Heated Neck massager at the airport about 6 months ago. It seriously works. Every. Single. Time. LONG TERM REMISSION MANAGEMENT: I have been busting via full(not micro-doses) of psilocybin and lsd, preferring the latter. Sometimes I have experienced rebound headaches after the bust, but I attribute this to the overuse of imitrex injections I use when the attacks start and I am scouring the drug-scene for the 2 psychedelics. About a year ago I returned from Syria after serving in the war. During that time, I had been popping antibiotics and deeply compromised my immune system. I began to research my symptoms and came across parasites. As I mentioned earlier: I have been dealing with CH for about 10 years with bi-annual cycles. Since taking Candida detox, Fluke detox, and other parasite-marketed homeopathic regimens, I have been cluster-free for 1 year. I wanted to make sure a certain milestone of time had been achieved, because honestly people I have interacted with on this subject have been extremely rude and derail the entire thread with flames and accusations that I am somehow a shill. Let me be clear: I am not affiliated with any company. I am a 27 year old sufferer of CH and I am motivated by seeking others who can validate my results and to relieve this nightmare from you all, an empathetic community. I have attached both the things I mentioned in this thread, and I hope they help you as much as they have helped me. ***Note: The initial detox i did was with something called Dr. Tobias CandidaFX, BlackWalnut/Wormwood Tincture from VitaminShop and non-GMO papaya seeds. I have linked the PipingRock products I am currently taking just to seal the deal. They are much less expensive and it is a much greater volume of products. I plan on either doubling all the doses after the 1st bottles, or running 3 back-to-back. ***APPARENTLY I CANT ATTACH IMAGES*** 1) Brookstone Heated Shiatzu Neck Massager http://www.brookstone.com/pd/shiatsu-neck-and-back-massager-with-heat-automated-programs/863806p.html 2) PipingRock Candida and Probiotics (I bought 3 of each) OR CandidaFX by Dr. Tobias Align Probiotics BlackWalnut/Woodwood by Nature's Answer NON-GMO Papaya Seeds (Walmart papayas have like 10 seeds inside. Mexican store papayas have like 400)

That is just her opinion based on her experience, I’m not trying to troll anybody I’m trying to share the experiences of people that have gained some benefit from this. I was specifically asked if the lady in the video Deborah Zale was still doing good. That is an old video and that is a very fair question, the answer is yes from specifically what Dr. Shevel did when she experienced that cure she was then attacked as she stated in her reply her impression was as follows that it seems like this organization is only dedicated to selling magic mushrooms and focusing on that, and anything outside, that narrative will be attacked as it is being now Instead of being at least explored or questions asked without being immediately dismissed immediately dismissed with great prejudice. It makes no sense it’s not a troll effort. It’s an effort to get the truth out there to help people with this as I have been helped and she has been helped. That is it

You must not have chronic cluster headaches, like I do mine never go away I don’t have periods of remission. The only relief I have got so far is with Dr. Shevel‘s help. I’m not a beginner with this I have battled this for years every day I am only trying to share my experiences and the experiences of others in order to help people find some relief. I don’t get all the pushback. Here’s a guy literally with experience and multiple other experiences That point towards an actual cure and all you guys can do is bash him because it doesn’t follow your narrative. Sounds like a cult not people that want to get better. If you want to get better ask me how I will share all my experience with you if it helps you great if it doesn’t that’s fine too , I’m just here to help people

I haven't got a problem with your experiences at all , but your post states CURE !!!!!!! , your not cured simple as that !!!!!, and yes I'm know in my 27th month pain free , Have you ever thought that your CH has just switched sides

Firstly, I am glad you found any relief at all. The number one accomplishment I can't take for granted for any CH sufferer is relief. However, it's still to early to use the word cure. I have had an uncle who is currently in a 15-year remission, and even he doesn't know what happened. I believe if more stories such as yours are empirically followed and can stand the rigorous scientific scrutiny, then we shall have all the solutions we ever need. But first, we have to document it and follow it up. The past threads about this doctors methods indicated that the results were mixed. Some people got relief, and others didn't get relief. You mentioned that he is now using a new technique, which is good to know. Currently, we have you his patients, we have him and we have time. Let's continue to keep the records and see where it leads. Just know that even though I, for one, appear skeptical, I am cheering for your relief and hope it sticks. Now that you are going back to South Africa, please ask the good doctor to put up his work for international peer review. That would be a nice step in the right direction. I know this disease is not statistically significant enough to warrant a lot of attention from the sceintific community but I believe the solutions are out there and we should keep looking.

I understand that , But the word cure shouldn't be used , it give false hope

Mate I'm not saying I don't believe you , I'm just saying from my experience their i s no cure , and yes I have CH have done for 44years , and yes I've had a rope around my neck on 3 occasions , my cycles last 6 months at a time 8 to 15 attacks every day and through the night , , I've banged my head on the floor the wall I've even had my partner knock me out with a frying pan , I also stab myself in the leg with a knife just to try to put the pain somewhere else , so yes I would say I have experienced CH ant it's worst !!!!!!!!!

I do not doubt your story one single bit because it is your story. I am hoping and praying you keep pain-free no matter what worked. However, I would like you to know there are remissions. I have an uncle who has been cluster headache-free for 15 years or more years! Even he doesn't remember what he did. He says my Dad had them worse too and that My grandfather had them until he passed in his 80s. I am increasingly finding people who find unexplained relief or remissions, but I will not be calling anything a cure for now. Please follow this post up with the great news of your relief every now and then. I am interested in your progress. In my first encounter with remission, I was as happy as myself. I would often think that I had discovered the winning formula only to go back to the drawing board during the next season.

Hi! That thread is from 2017/2018. This is my real world experience: I have had chronic cluster headaches since 2018. I saw the top 3 neurologists in Houston. I saw Dr. Pam Blake, and I am currently seeing for the past 3 years Dr. Mark Burish. Neither doctor was able to offer ANY RELIEF AT ALL. NONE. Just a bunch of drugs. I used Sumatriptan orally until it went past that (the rebound lesson with Sumatriptan if you take too much, is very harsh!) Dr. Burish has a standard list of medications including Gabapenton, steroids and a few others that had nothing but a bad effect on me. I tried Mushrooms on several occasions, and LSD as well. Nothing had ANY effect. The things that helped for awhile were Baclophen (muscle relaxer), Rizatriptan, and Naratriptan. Those offered a little relief for awhile. I was having at least 5-6 HARDCORE headaches a day. Even with Oxygen it was super bad. I was using at least 3 M sized tanks a week to try and fight the headaches. I saw the video I posted and called Dr. Shevel the next day. I got my money together and flew there with my wife 2 weeks later. Dr. Shevel is one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. He gives you his personal cell phone and insists you call him as you get treated. He charged me 9500.00 US for all treatments. I was there for 3 months. I could have done it in a month or so, but I wanted to be sure. I got 15 or so treatments, it is good to wait between treatments and switch sides to spread out the treatment area and let it heal. Cluster headaches are caused by nerves growing in tendons where the muscles attach to the back of the skull. He zaps the tendons and kills the nerve that has grown into the tendon. It is a purely "mechanical" solution that SAVED MY LIFE. The walls of the clinic have HUNDREDS of letters on them ALL of the letters say basically "Thank you for curing me, I have my life back now" (I have photos if you have doubts). I am a big Viking guy. I am 6-6, 240lbs, Norwegian decent. I have very thick, tough tendons that require several "zaps" to kill the nerves. The thing is this works. I have my life back. I am happy to share more of my story with anyone who will listen. I have had Cluster headaches as bad as they get. This was the ONLY thing that worked. Period. I was pain free for 10 months. I am going to go back for a "tune up" in a few weeks. I used to have 95% of my headaches on the Right side. I never get them on the right side now, I do get 1 a day on the Left side, depending on what I eat that day and how stressed I am. I need to get 2 spots zapped on the left side to kill the new nerves that grew back on the Left. There is NO CHARGE for follow up visits. Again Dr. Shevel only does his clinic and he genuinely cares about removing your pain. He speaks 17 languages and is the most compassionate, dedicated Doctor I have EVER met. I am happy to share more of my story if anyone wants real relief, or wants some tips and tricks for a chronic cluster headache survivor. There is a cure. I promise you it works. I am living proof. There are hundreds of people just like me.

I don't Know if am the pessimist or not but the remissions in Cluster Headaches make cure claims very very hard to believe.

Ah at last the cure..;)
