I'm not here trying to convert anyone or start a spiritual nonsense discussion. I'm just sharing how I got rid of years of pain due to cluster headache.

Six years ago I switched to a lacto-vegetarian diet 'cause of some philosophical beliefs. The thing is, after something like one month, I stopped having my CH crisis. Never had it again.
Sometimes (like once a years) I still experience the initial symptoms but they vanish over a few minutes and the headache itself never comes.
I'm not saying that stopping eating meat has cured me, but me stopping eating meat and stooping having CH are two things that happened at the same time.
I never took any medication and used to undergo the sessions of CH by just being alone in the dark (the light was soo painful).
Anyway, I just thing it is worth a try, isn't it?

Six years pain free. That's awesome.

I hope it continues for you.

Light sensitivity, huh? 

I eat nothing but Angus beef, some times a spud, and lots of salt.  I'm 3000 days pain free.  Try it,  beats veggies hands down.

No need to eat vegetables, cuz what you eat eats the vegetables.  ;)

I turned into a cluster-head at the same general time in my life I became a vegetarian...twenty years back.

Guess I ought to go for dinner at Potter's. 

I haven't ate meat in almost two years and I still get clusters.  The only thing that changed my ch after going meat free is clusterbusters.

Good to hear you are pf

Thank you guys :).
As I said, I've got no scientific background or whatsoever, but that's my experience :).

Long remission possibly.

Glad to hear that you're pain free for so long! While a lot of people would snort at the notion that a lacto-vegetarian diet somehow affects dilated blood vessels and serotonin imbalances as making no scientific sense, I wouldn't dismiss it outright.

The human body is very complex and nobody knows with 100% certainty how small changes to one part of can affect other parts.

Living in Asia, I get exposed to a lot of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners. It's all about balancing chi and other such stuff and one of the key strategies is to modify the diet to change the balance. Even though I think the theory behind it is a load of baloney, one thing that I can't ignore is that TCM actually works... I hope that one day Western researchers will decide to conduct a thorough scientific study of TCM and in the process unearth a goldmine of new ways to treat many conditions.

So basically, if your change in diet is working for you, then it's just as good as any other method, whether or not it has been "scientifically proven". :)
