Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Look into Kudzu root for cluster headache relief. Also have heard capsaicin and melatonin can be helpful.

I have tried almost everything. The only things I have not tried are psylocibin and capsacin. Capsacin is administered nasally for headaches, from what I understand, and works by overloading your pain receptors. I don't need that.

GPR10 works better for me on this than anything else, by leaps and bounds. Even prescription meds. And I aim to make it a heckuva lot more effective in the next versions.

Before I had GPR10, the only things that would produce pain relief for my cluster headaches were, occasionally the heavy duty nasal decongestant pills would help if I caught it early enough - but it was far from guaranteed that this would be effective; or, I could fall asleep. Sleep was the only sure way to kill the pain. NOTHING else touched it. So seeing GPR10 do what it's done in the past and currently is nothing short of miraculous.

Shannon a good friend of mine is a naturepath doctor she is very knowledgable about natural Health remedies. I also have a lot of knowledge relating to health as I have overcome a lot myself.

The headaches could be allot of things. Most likely an imbalance of minerals and or inflammation. I know you went through chemo. That is very toxic to the body. It could take years to get homeostasis back in the body. I cut out a lot of toxic foods. Wheat,sugar,meats. I only eat organic foods and grass fed meats from local farms.

I would recommend getting a hair mineral analsys done. It's not that expensive.It would show which minerals are out of balance and if you have any heavy metal poisoning . Which I found out from my report I had heavy metal poisioning in 3 metals and was anemic and have some severe mineral imbalances.

I was finished with chemotherapy in 1997. I started getting these headaches about 8 years ago. They last about 2 weeks a year, and each year they are at a different level of intensity. They always show up during the same time of year. The only "medication" that ever did anything (and only occasionally, and only if I took it asap) was the allergy sinus/nasal decongestant/headache pills you can get OTC. But the same pills without the decongestant don't do a thing.

Furthermore, GPR10 clears them very well, and it also clears sinus headaches well, but migraines less so.

I eat very little gluten already, but even experimenting with eating saitan (pure gluten "noodles") when Andrew was visiting me, did not produce headaches. It did make me spacey and out of it, and showed me that I have to eat gluten sparingly, if at all. But no headaches.

Finally, they almost never happen at night, or in the morning. It is almost always in the afternoon, which corresponds to when the sun has had time to warm the ground and air, causing more wind and rain.

All this has led me to conclude that they are most likely caused by:

1. An allergy to a specific type of pollen, for a plant that was not in the area until 8 years ago. Very possible, since we are constantly seeing new invasive species of plant, animal and insect show up.
   
2. Rapid changes in barometric pressure that happen as the rainy season starts.
   
3. Both of these.
