How
I Stopped My Cluster Headaches In Their Tracks With Psilocybe
Cubensis Muhrooms!!
 In
the Spring of 2003 my cluster headache cycle started back
up right on time. My last cycle in the spring of 2001
was a hellish ride that almost cost me my job, so this
one immediately induced feelings of desperation and dread.
I got online to see if any new research progress had occured
since last time. A lengthy search of the archives at Clusterheadaches.com
yeilded dozens of reports from people who had used mushrooms
to abort their headache cycles.
Having taken them before, (i grew up in mississippi where
they are a favorite 'free high' for teens and curious
people) I knew they were very safe and was comfortable
with the 'side effects'.
Interestingly
for theraputic purposes in treating vascular headaches
the dose is only about 1/3 of the favored recreational
'Trip' dosage.
So to test the waters I took a very very small dose. About
0.5 gm, ground up and allowed to sit under the tongue
for about 15 minutes, that night i had an out-of-place
headache ....
But then
I noticed an immediate difference the next day. My normal
daily 3 headaches of 90 minutes each were only about 20
minutes each, happened at a different time of day - and
were an almost tolerable pain level.
Dramatic response considering the small dose and the rigid
regularity of my daily headache cycles. So i decided there
was something to this and prepared for another dose. I
waited 5 days and took about 1.5gm - and had the exact
same effect except the dose was followed by 2 totally
pain free days, then the cycle started building again.
I waited about a week and took a final larger dose of
about 2.5gm. this time i had definite psychedelic effects
- I felt my body turn into Origami and fold out into the
space around me, quite enjoyable once i got used to it.
Went into the yard and took photos
of plants and listened to jazz.
That night - no headache. The next day ... no headache!
I Waited a week - still no headache.
Wait, that was TOO EASY!
Holy Cow - i have been suffering HELL all these years
and that's all it took??? I was in shock to feel totally
normal. The Whole Cycle had been Aborted. That was 10
months ago and i have been 10000% A-Ok ever since. My
clyster cycle is every 2 years, so when they come back
in 2005 I will be ready for it.
For the first time I am
approaching a Cluster Headache cycle with CONFIDENCE that
I will be in control - instead of being reduced to a whimpering
sack of pain! Thank
GOD for Magic Mushrooms and thank Clusterbusters for the
Info on how to use them for vascular headaches

UPDATE: Feb 2006
Despite careful preparations my 2005 cluster headaches
were still devastatingly bad.
This time i had prepared some mushrooms to try at the
first sign of the cycle starting. Normally as seen in
my charts fromt 2001 & 2003, it builds to unbearable
pain over 3 to 4 days. One treatment after the 1st attack
was sufficient to abate all pain for well over a week.
Zero pain or attacks.
Then another abrupt cold-to-hot weather change seemed
to bring the cycle back. Another treatment and another
week free of pain. This is unprecedented in my history
of headaches. Once they start they continue relentlessly.
Feeling
like I had conquered it, I took a trip up north and within
4 days I was back to daily headaches which continued for
another 4 weeks. I had to take a 28 hour bus-trip while
having headaches, which SUCKED. A real test of willpower.
With no more treatments available the cycle played out
normally until I obtained a small amount of Hawaiian Baby
Woodrose seeds containing the LSD cousin LSA. These gave
me a few more pain-free days near the end of the cycle.
So my results from 2005 were success in stopping all the
headaches for a few weeks with psychedelic treatment,
but this time i was unable to break the cycle completely.
The Baby Woodrose seeds are a good legal alternative for
peope who have reservations about trying the mushroom
treatment.

McKenna
notes that,
"The pro-psychedelic plant position is clearly an
anti-drug position. Drug dependencies are the result of
habitual, unexamined and obsessive behavior; these are
precisely the tendencies that the psychedelics mitigate."
Another fact worth considering is that reading medical
journals or even the DEA website will disclose that psychedelic
compounds and plants are all classified as Counter-Addictive,
(meaning that the effects of the drug itself discourage
repeated indiscriminate use.) There is a huge difference
between advocating responsible psychedelic plant use for
medical reasons, spiritual reasons or for inspiration,
and advocating uncontrolled drug abuse.
UPDATE
Feb 2006!
the
Mushroom treatment is so promising that
approval has been given to conduct
Clinical Trials at Harvard University School of Medicine(!!!)
with arrangements made by MAPS,
the Multi-disciplinary Institute For Psychedelic Studies.
