National Headache Foundation Research Summit

Dr. Sewell's abstract entitled, The Effects Of Psilocybin And Lsd On Cluster Headache: A Series Of 53 Cases, was selected for an oral presentation at the National Headache Foundation's 3rd Annual Headache Research Summit being held on Wednesday, February 15 and Thursday, February 16 from noon until 4 PM running concurrently with the postgraduate course, The Practicing Physician's Approach to the Difficult Headache
Patient in Rancho Mirage, CA.
I will be attending the 4 day conference (the research summit is only 2 days of the 4 day conference) and will be joined by Dr. Douglas Wright of O.U.C.H. Canada (and ch.com fame)
Although the details are yet to be finalized, we will most likely be joining Dr. Sewell during the presentation and panel discussion.
Hundreds of headache specialists are about to be formally introduced and/or updated on the effects of psychedelics upon cluster headaches.
If your doctors don't know about it yet, they most likely will, come next week. 
For more details on the conference, see:

Cool deal. Tell Doug I said hi.
Would it be possible for Doc Sewell to share his paper with us?

I'll check with Dr. Sewell.
My guess is that he'll want to wait until the paper is published, which should be very soon.

Bob, we're sending Doug with strict instructions to take good notes and lots of pictures. Please remind him. Oh and don't let him lollygag by the pool too much, ok? He's very much looking forward to the balmy weather because he's pretty cold and waterlogged, coming from Nanaimo - they've had a helluva wet winter so far!
Seriously, Bob, Doug and Doc Sewell - thanks so much for helping to putting cluster on the map!

DJ, I'm certain, would not want to be called a saint, but would all of this have ever happened the way it has, without him starting ch.com? I think not.

All unauthorized lollygagging will captured on film. 
One of the points I hope we can stress upon them is, with all the research being done by so many of the cluster patients themselves, it should be obvious that not enough research is being done by the medical community as a whole.

Thanks to everyone that has helped us get this far. We've only just begun.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Thanks Jonny, I do appreciate it.
I think the strides we've made are a testiment to the closeness of the entire cluster community, and everyone has had a hand in this.

It would be my luck to break a leg and be in a room with 350 "headache" doctors.

Good luck to you, Dr. Doug Wright and Dr. Sewell, here's praying each stride you make will take you further than you ever dreamed!
