   -how do you grind them?

are you getting sleep and what type of sleep aids do you use that don't interfere with this treatment?

how long have you used seeds?

hello all. im gonna try the rc seeds. it seems like the best starting point and is pseudo legal. id prefer the shrooms but just dont have the time or patience now for starting a grow house in my garage.

i do have a question for those of u who use the rc seeds. i see u use 20-60. the dosing instructions from clusterbusters are as follows:

"In this case as stated above, 4 to 8 Rivea seeds should be the range people treating cluster headaches should remain at least for the first dose. If future doses are needed, this number can be modified to suit each individual. You may need to slowly increase the dose size. Begin with a low dose for safety and build higher only if a larger dose is needed for increased efficacy. Use a headache chart to track your progress and this will make it much easier to determine future dosing schedules and dose sizes."

20-60 seems like a huge dose compared to what clusterbustes is indicating. am i missing something?

A larger dose is needed for increased efficacy.

And BTW, ingestion of RC seeds is not pseudo legal. It's very illegal.

Those large intake numbers for me are because I really don't know how much LSA is present in each batch of seeds.  Some can be old, some can be duds, some are perfect.  I'm sure you get my point here.

are you chronic or episodic? 

I BELIVE I AM CHRONIC



have your cycle and remission times changed since using this treatment? 

I STARTED TAKING THE SEEDS FEBRUARY 4TH.  I STILL AM IN CYCLE.


what type of seeds do you use?

RC


how many do you dose with?

I HAVE TRIED 50, THEN 60 AND THEN 70


how do you prepare them? 

I CRUSH THEM UP WITH A HOME-MADE MORTAR AND PESTOL.  LET THEM SOAK OVER NIGHT IN WATER.

 
how often do you dose?

I HAVE DONE IT EVERY 4 DAYS SINCE THE FIRST TIME...  FEB. 4TH


are you getting sleep and what type of sleep aids do you use that don't interfere with this treatment?

I TAKE MELATONIN...  AND YEAH SOMETIMES I GET SLEEP...  BUT ITS 4 IN THE MOURNING RIGHT NOW..  SO ITS UN-PREDICTABLE.


how long have you used seeds?


FEBRUARY 4TH 2010


have you used mushrooms or LSD and how do they compare to seeds? 

I HAVE NOT...  BUT WOULD LIKE TO


WHEN I FIRST STARTED TAKING THEM..  I WAS HAVING 2-4 ATTACKS A DAY FOR WEEKS AT A TIME.  I HAVE NOTICED A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF HITS...  TONIGHT I WAS NOT SO LUCKY..  BUT IT HAD BEEN SINCE LAST THURSDAY SINCE MY LAST HEAD-ACHE.  I AM NOT SURE IF ITS THE SEEDS OR MY CYCLE JUST WEARING ITSELF OUT... BUT THE COINCIDENCE HAS MADE ME THINK TO ORDER MORE.  I HOPE THIS HELPS....

Dax,

you might want to read up on the use of the seeds.  The longer the period between taking them, the better.  Like 7 days if possible.  This is just what i'm reading on the Clusterbusters forum.  Also, Melatonin might be interfering with the seeds.  That one hurts too because I think Melatonin is very good as a sleep aid.
