Title: New NatGeo Special....
Post by Dallas Denny 62 on Feb 14th, 2011 at 12:04pm
Hey ya'll,

For those that don't frequent the clusterbusters site, Bob W put up an exciting new thread this weekend!! 

It seems the special on LSD treatments was one of their top 5 viewed documentarys so they've decided to do another on the medicinal use of LSD and BOL!!

The project is underway with filming to take place over the next several weeks!! 

Fingers crossed here that it somehow equates to some major BOL research dollars!!!

WOW!  I hope so too!  All of us, please keep watch for when this will air on Nat Geo.

I, for one, will be glued to the TV.

Any cluster sufferers out there that might consider being interviewed and filmed, let me know asap.
This project is underway.
Our segment revolves around people with clusters that are treating their attacks with psychedelics but they also need people willing to be filmed during an attack.
They want to focus on the effects of clusters on the family.

So....

Bob
P.S it will be as anonymous as need be.

Will be waiting to see this one.   :)

I bought the first one.  The progress of this therapy has been very encouraging--it seems to hold promise for the first profoundly effective treatment ever developed for our condition.  My sincere thanks to those who have had the courage and persistence to pursue this avenue.

All the best,

George

I've been working with the producers trying to put together a show we can all be proud of and show the cluster story;

The next request offers a way for more people to participate and includes people that are not using the "busting" methods as well as those that are.

What they would like to do is produce a montage of short clips of people going through a cluster attack on film. Sort of something to show the face(s) of clusters. My guess is that in the end, it wouldn't be more than a few seconds of "face" time for each person. Of course you will be anonymous.

The points they hope to illuminate are the wide range of people that suffer from the disease as well as showing that there are many people suffering and not just a few people using psychedelics to treat a rare disease.

If you'd like to participate, here is what you would need to do.
Film yourself (or have someone do it) on anything you have handy, your cell phone, a video recorder etc. It doesn't have to be long or contain anything you don't want to show.

Let me know you have a clip either in a PM here or my email (psiloscribe at yahoo dot com) and we'll work out the details on getting it to NatGeo. if we can transfer it online we will do that or natGeo will pay for shipping a thumb drive ...or....? Whatever works.

Feel free to spread the word

Thanks
Bob

Shoot. I haven't been hit in over 9 months. And I wanted to start practicing my lines:

"All right Mr. De Mille, I'm ready for my close-up."

"I am big, it's the pictures that got small!"

Remission still going on in this house...would make for pretty boring footage.

Alternatives....it's a good thing!!!  Thanks, Pink. [smiley=bow.gif]

I can't help you there but if they need any "eye candy" have them give me a call.

I, for one, think this is GREEAAT!

We've come a LONG way -- in '98 not very many people even knew what Clusters were and now .... Thanks Bob and everyone...
