Hey Ashley,
Joe has given you the best available information on oxygen therapy and the anti-inflammatory regimen with 10,000 IU/day vitamin D3.
This regimen is proving to be an effective CH preventative. Your father likely suffers from a vitamin D3 deficiency. The best way to find out is to have his PCP or neurologist schedule a lab test for 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, a.k.a. 25(OH)D, the serum level metabolite of vitamin D3.
The normal reference range for 25(OH)D is 30-100 ng/mL, (75-250 nmol/L). However, we've see several test results come back from CH'ers with active CH with 25(OH)D concentrations as high as 42 ng/mL.
What is even more important is that 70 out of 100 CH'ers who tried this regimen responded with a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of their CH in less than ten days, some in as little as 12 hours. Most of them were pain free by the end of the third week taking this regimen.
Lab tests for 25(OH)D from CH'ers who had a favorable response to this regimen have all come back greater than 60 ng/mL, (150 nmol/L).
If you shop at Costco, the photos below show all that's needed for this regimen. A 5 month supply costs $35 or 20 cents a day. You can find similar brands and formulations at most supermarkets and drugstores.

That's it... This is a very safe and healthy regimen even if you didn't have CH. My wife takes it daily and loves it... Only she bumped the vitamin D3 dose up to 15,000 IU/day. She hasn't had a migraine headache since she started the anti-inflammatory regimen over a year ago and they used to come like clockwork every month.
She feels great, looks great and has more energy than when I met her over 20 years ago when she was pitching for a White House League slow pitch team. I was always attracted to a chick in cleats who loves sports...
At her last annual checkup, her doctor told her to "Keep doing whatever you're doing... Your labs look like they came from a woman half your age." That put a big smile on my wife's face... She just kicked the heck out of 74 at Christmas...
We had a big Fir tree blow down across the driveway a couple weeks ago and she wanted to go get her hair done... I was a little slow responding and the next thing I knew, she had the chainsaw and axe loaded in our pickup...

Go figure... When your father's lab test for 25(OH)D comes back less than 30 ng/mL, and he starts vitamin D3 therapy... you might want to join him and start taking it as well.
Take care,
