And FYI....
Alkalosis is NOT acidic blood.
Alkalosis means the pH of blood is greater than 7.45. "Acidic blood" is when the pH is less than 7.35 and is referred to as ACIDOSIS.
That's all the biochemistry I will pick apart...for now

Trolls like to take up as much space as possible on message boards and see how much turmoil they can cause.
The more he gets flamed, the more he enjoys it. He should be pretty happy with a 3 page thread.
Next time he changes his name and posts the same crap, we should all just completely ignore the bastard. THIS would piss him off more than flaming him.

Damn Jonny you always have a different twist to things, good point ...............entertainment is always needed when you have this affliction.
ok so we have entertainment value, aggreveration value, mental excersise value, and typing lesson. all rolled into one.
we just might really need persons of this pervasion to keep us up on our game .
maybe we should say we are sorry and get him back so we can keep in top form???
any ideas...........................

After repopulation I could withstand a fairly normal diet, so I then began working on my alkalosis and soon my clusters diminished as well. |

Congratulations on ridding yourself of the candida and then having your recent episode run it's course. All the rest of the words was just something else you need to deal with too.

I understand your efforts to gain some sort of confidence here with this telling of your ailments, but can you tell me how, after going chronic, what it is to have gotten continually "worse" than chronic, and then with every therapy, "worse than ever"?
Let's see, got chronic, then continually worse than chronic, then worse than ever. Ok, now we have a new kind of cluster. There is episodic, then chronic, then worse than chronic, then worse than ever. Wow, we need to revise the Kip scale up to about 25 I guess.

Its guys like this that put complete clarity on why the medical community has to have some type of definitive standard for "Chronic" to work from.

Got the plywood cut and installed over all my windows yesterday - most of my muscles are sore, and I don't think we'll get much as far as the hurricane goes. But thats good, I guess. Next storm will be easy - with Tapcon mounts, it only takes a few minutes to put up a storm panel or take one down.
I'll reserve comment on this thread until I've heard read more.

Jeeez, I should have read all the posts before I wrote what I originally wrote here. Guys, I confess, this guy had me reading and writing notes to go check on...the whole bloody smash. Has he been here before?
The response posts, by the way, had me laughing out loud.
I agree with the notion that letting a poster like that go on is entertainment. Bandwidth is worth it if you get a laugh out of it.

A few points.
Right now, there is a thread on "colds and clusters". Several regulars here think the flu or a cold make clusters worse. This fits with what is known about immune activation and clusters - in fighting certain infections, the body increases inflammatory chemicals like nitric oxide, interleukins, cgrp, etc. Could a yeast infection do the same? Possibly. There is a big debate on how many people have 'silent' Candida infections, and what they can cause/aggravate. I'm not sure on this.
Bioflavinoids and polyphenols - the guy who started this thread thinks they are bad for clusters. I think they may reduce clusters, although different people respond differently. Green tea may reduce IL-1, TNF, nitric oxide and other chemicals. Other bioflavinoids protect against glutamate toxicity (another problem in CH).
Leukotrienes? Probably a part of the puzzle. Check out interleukins - they are also involved, maybe more so.
Lizzie is right about the acidosis/alkalosis issue. There may be something off with blood pH, but I think it is more likely a low buffer reserve. If your alkalis are high, your blood is not acidic. One type of nerve activity that is associated with CH (cgrp/nitric oxide/nmda/vanilloid1 overactivtiy) is sensitive to heat and acidity, probably more so in our condition.
Phosphates in meat? Could be, although I personally think nitrites and sodium might be more of a problem than phosphate.
Mosquitos bothering you? Strange, but the same has happened to me in the past two years, when I have been headache free. Been in the same house for 7 years, and while I used to be invisible to mosquitos, I am now a prime target. Maybe my skin chemistry changed, or maybe its those damned Tiger Mosquitos that hitch-hiked in from Southeast Asia. Dunno.
Proanthocyanidins? You may be on to something there. Some of them block CGRP, which is a main focus for many pharmaceutical companies now. See the Sangre de Grado abstract in the continuation of this post - there are probably similar compounds in some foods and other herbs. Black cherry juice comes to mind.
Diet and clusters has not been studied in any systematic way. Discussing diet here provokes more controversy than advocating genocide. There are bunch of loose cannons here senor Evil Chopper, or whatever your current handle is. Lots of egos colliding. Lots of mistrust, especially of people we don't know. If you want to be effective, pick a name and stick with it. Build some credibility by dealing with everyday issues as well as the grand vision.

Did I cheese you off? That's funny, I thought I have been more sympathetic and open minded than most. Maybe my memory needs refreshing. Yeah, I whine, they whine, and YOU whine. But I'm not here to defend the group-think. I want to solve a puzzle that causes so much pain. If you are in the same boat, then maybe you do too. But you need to grow a thicker skin, and read Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people."
