“The gadget, which manufacturers say may also help treat a severe type of headache called cluster headache, comes in the wake of anecdotal reports from some patients that eating ice cream reduces or even cures their headache”

Ha! Double whammy with the ice cream mushroom bars!  ;D Would that really be an enjoyable flavor though??!! 

As someone who has had success aborting non high cycle CH attacks by breathing freezing air through the nose (with nose up to a blasting car air conditioner vent, or just outdoors in winter freezing air), I can imagine the new medical contraption covered in that first link working for some CH'ers - if the attack is caught at onset.

Exploring the therapeutic uses of mushrooms

By Art Goodtimes October 2010

Some 250 fungophiles from all over the country flocked to TellurideÂ’s Galaxy Theater last week to hear speaker after speaker re-affirm the mounting evidence for the therapeutic value of psychedelic mushrooms and other entheogenic substances

Natasha Lewin of High Times magazine used her hands as wildly gesticulating birds as she told a riveting tale of a 30-something friend afflicted with cluster headaches who exhausted dozens of healing modalities in New York City only to be led to the use of Psilocybe mushrooms – which have healed her from the paralyzing pain and has allowed her to live a normal life, taking small doses of this entheogen whenever the cluster headaches start to appear.

Prejudice Against Psilocybe Mushrooms Is Waning

I met a young architectural historian in New York, Ralph Ghoche, who suffered from crippling cluster headaches for years. He went to numerous doctors who put him on analgesics and steroids, although they acknowledged there is no cure and no accepted treatment. Then Ghoche read, on Clusterbusters.com, a website devoted to the syndrome, a testimonial about the effectiveness of psilocybin. “So I got some mushrooms – I don’t know what kind they were – and took the small dose recommended on the website.”

Ghoche’s trip was barely on the radar: “It was boring,” he said. The next day, he felt the premonition of a headache coming on. “I thought, crappity smack, the mushrooms didn’t work, and then I felt something occurring in my brain and the headache was blocked. The same thing happened the next day, and then that was it. I’ve been three years without a headache.”

A panel discussion of hallucinogenic mushrooms as medicine emphasized the growing body of scientific knowledge proving their value, from relieving cluster headaches to providing life-changing experiences of balanced wholeness with the universe.
