Psiloscribe Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The National Geographic special that included Cluster headaches and BOL was one of the top 5 NatGeo programs ever watched. Based upon [our] the show's popularity, they have decided to do another special on the medicinal benefits of LSD and BOL. They have contracted the production company that won an Oscar for documentaries, to produce this new documentary. I have been in contact with the producers and Clusterbusters will be working with them on this project. They are now looking for people with clusters to participate and are looking for the following volunteers to be interviewed and filmed. Someone that is willing to be filmed during an attack. Someone that is willing to be shown using LSD to treat an active cluster cycle. Someone willing to discuss how clusters have affected their lives. Someone that is willing to discuss their use of LSD to treat their clusters and how it has affected their lives. They may be willing to interview people that have used other related psychedelics for their clusters. This project is currently underway and filming will take place over the next 4-6 weeks. Of course, they understand how people may require complete anonymity and will take all necessary steps to keep you anonymous. You too can be a blurred face and have a voice like a sleep deprived Boris Karloff. If anyone is interested in being interviewed, please send me a PM or email and I will give you more details or answer any questions I can. Thanks everyone, Bob (See you on the Red Carpet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi Bob, Michael would be more than happy to be any of those "someone(s)." He's far to handsome - and vain - to do the blurred face thing though. I'll PM you for more details. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipshot Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The show is about the medicinal benefits of LSD and BOL but you never mention BOL again. It would be nice to be able to try it for their program. Sign me up I will be the sacrificial lamb Glad to read the post Bob. If this program is half as good and informative to the general public as the first one; it's sure to be anther giant step forward. Thanks again from all of us for being our fearless leader.

Hipshot Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You go Bonkers! I would love to volunteer but I am camera shy. 8-) It would be cool if the show included "people I knew" Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Cool. And not to be punching a fabulous gift horse in the mouth or anything , but too bad IMO they're so focused on LSD, since there would be a MUCH larger talent pool to draw from if they were giving equal time to mushrooms.....

Psiloscribe Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Cool. there would be a MUCH larger talent pool to draw from if they were giving equal time to mushrooms..... There are many reasons that the show centers on LSD. Although history suggests that mushrooms have been used for thousands of years to treat headaches, LSD was discovered while researchers looked for headache treatments. LSD is also currently being looked at as a treatment for other ailments. The fact that it IS harder to find but most likely more effective for clusters is another interesting point to be made. Once this one airs, if the natGeo mailboxes overflow with mushroom stories we may be able to spark some interest in a new documentary.

Psiloscribe Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks to those that have already come forward to participate. I spke witht he producer today and they are very much interested in taking an in depth look at how clusters affect people lives. Please consider getting on the list. They will come to you!! If you'd be willing to be interviewed but aren't sure you have to offer what they are looking for, let them decide. We aren't filming an episode of Glee so you don't have to sing, nor an episode of Dancing With The Stars, so no dancing experience needed. Just be yourself.

Hipshot Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 This may not be appropriate, but I nominate Agent Orange. We all know what he has been through. Talk about affecting someone's life :-/Â I sent a PM to him in hopes that he will volunteer to put himself out there for us. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'd sing.... But I do dance like the white boy that I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psiloscribe Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Just so everyone understands, this is an international project. Actually, they like the fact that this is a worldwide story, so.....if you consider people in the USA as foreigners, you are invited to participate Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 If it's international they may even come to Montany. I would love to do anything that would promote our cause, put my hat in. I have 6 years to fill them in on. Shrooms and seeds though. I do think there are many better candidates though. all the best the bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipshot Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nothing like a little peer pressure. I have always succumbed to it. Ok, if the bb is good with it, I am too. Put my name in too Bob. There are undoubtedly better representatives but I will do anything that I can to help. No LSD yet for me either but that is apt to change any day now :o Lee Ann nominates Kaboom : Dan PS Texas is like a whole nuther country ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Dan you'd make a SWELL candidate IMO! A little surprised that the no LSD thing may change for ya, since it would be a significantly longer lasting tripping experience than mushrooms. :o Of course if the mushrooms are losing effectiveness, it's completely understood why one would step up to the biggest of the busting big guns, damn any temporary side effects. I think I'm starting to realize a possible advantage for us of the Nat Geo focus on LSD: The case for BOL is pretty compelling when you see people having great success with LSD, then the question is asked: "why can't these people be prescribed BOL - a NON hallucinogenic form of LSD??!!"

Hipshot Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks Jeeber. A deal is a deal... I told agent orange if he'd volunteer, I would. I didn't really expect Brian would take me up on my offer but he actually thanked me for nominating him If they interview me my bet is it ends up on the editing floor and that will be just fine with me. My Texas twang will be entertaining ...at my expense. The more volunteers, the better. Like Bob said: Let the producers decide. How about it Kaboom?

Kleinsopp Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Cool! If I had LSD I'd sign up Looking forward to seeing the program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaboom Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Admittedly, I have reservations due to the need to protect my girls and my employment. But, I know that it's only because of these treatments that I'm able to be a good mom and hold down a job to support my family. I'll be signing up. If selected, one thing I couldn't do is promise to give a dignified representation of our group should they choose to film me while dosing. I honestly cannot foresee that happening...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hey vacuum cleaner induced turkey neck and cheek fat pulling reenactments are the stuff compelling TV is made of! ;D And how could they NOT feature that in their promo?! 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaboom Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 What interviewer wouldn't like to have a nice vaccuum cleaner comb-over? Hipshot, where's that wonderful wife of yours? I've been missing her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a normal sized dose to treat clusters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_Ann Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for asking about me Kaboom, im still here and reading. Just dont post much since we got the iPad. Easy to get on and read but a liittle harder to type a message. Im too lazy to go in the other room and get on the computer. Lee Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHurtsMyHead Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Feel free to put my name in the documentary hat. While I haven't taken LSD, I'd be happy to share my experiences with having CH. Loosing jobs. Staying awake mostly for days at a time because I was too scared to sleep, or got hits anytime I did try to sleep. Numerous trips to the emergency room only to have them do nothing. Years of misdiagnosis. yea, I've got a few other attack experiences I could share. Might scare the hell out of them though. I'd share only to help others understanding.

kaboom Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi Lee Ann! Im too lazy to go in the other room That's not lazy, it's conserving energy. I'm sure you need all you can get just to keep Hipshot in line. I'm sure you would be just as charming as this young lady  Mom? Is that you?!? And to think she told me she never used drugs before...or drank...or had sex.  :-? Seriously, is that lady in the video sweet or what? Can you imagine how in awe she would have felt if she had the experience outside surrounded by nature?
