Some critters contain neurotoxins that would be beneficial to study for a possible treatment for our condition. Some have been mentioned ie. frogs.
All laughter aside does anyone have more information regarding this?
really not kidding

Botulism? I only remember it helping one person with CH, but it's supposed to be pretty good for migraines.
Now, if only I could remember whether the one person was an actual study, or just a report....

Even though we were jesting, you should read the links in the other thread.
I foresee this gaining popularity in a few decades when everything organic is legal and synthetic will be illegal.

The good news: you won't have to hurt the toads! 
The bad news: toad ash tastes about like you'd guess it would.

All kidding aside, take a look at the similarities in chemical structure between Sumatriptan and Psilocybin--
Sumatriptan:
Psilocybin:
(borrowed from Biker Bob's post in the "Psilocybin Theory" thread--hope you don't mind, Bob)
and Bufotenin, from toads and a variety of plant sources--
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bufotenin.png
Interesting. Whether or not this could be of therapeutic interest in managing CH is another question, and I can't address that, since I simply do not know.
Best regards,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Bees. Honey bees. Lots of `em. Well placed on the affected side. They've been doing this for MS for years. Beta testers needed.
YOU go first.

No kidding.
