CH Conspiracy Theory
Jun 19th, 2017 at 6:47pm
 
Totally off the wall but thought I would throw this out there just for the laugh, the thought, the possibility...

Last night I watched The Bourne Legacy, which is the 4th of 5 Jason Bourne movies. If you like James Bond type action movies, do yourself a favor and sit down for a couple hours and enjoy!

Well here's my thought after watching all 4 movies so far and tonight will watch Jason Bourne, the 5th of 5 movies in this series...

Every single secret agent including Jason Bourne, in all of these movies underwent a mind altering drug program prior to them becoming top secret agents. They were given injections at first and then pills to take on a regular basis, and these pills altered behavioral modification.

In these Bourne movies, all of these agents experienced debilitating headaches as a side effect. It did not go into detail as to what type of headache or where the pain was in the head etc, etc...but it made me think of CH's...

Wondering if we were somehow exposed to some kind of medication or food or something in the air or somehow ingested into our bodies some foreign substance that causes CH's.

Now I realize this is completely far fetched and extremely unlikely, but it did make me think twice or three times after watching these movies.

So you now have read Gregg's conspiracy theory, all in good humor, and with strong recommendations for great movies to enjoy.

Pain Free Wishes to ClusterVille Wink

If it were that simple, then instead of CH being relatively uncommon, it'd be a lot more common and you'd see huge clusters of people with CH in a geographic area where the causative agent was found.

Interesting thought Gregg...who's to say what causes a "wonky" hypothalamus?

Myself...been dealing with cancer.....and....from 12-20 yrs of age I worked in the agriculture business...lotsa exposure to pesticides/herbicides...BESIDES the time a neighbor poisoned me with  a DDT fog (or WHATEVER)....8 yrs old...resulting in  a ch type "headache"....which I never told no one.

No one is ever going to convince me it wasn't cumulatively the cause of my Lymphoma! Unfortunately... now have a lot of experience with oncology Docs. They say a new patient has 2 questions; 1) how long I got...and 2) what CAUSED this?. They HATE both questions...the how long is based on statistics...you may be on the high...or low end of that...no one knows. Cause?...damn... NO ONE KNOWS that either...and really...what does it matter...not a damn thing you can do now!

Myself?....WELL... questions like these...more important than folks realize...there aint no answer until the question is asked.....

Best

I noticed quite early in this nightmare that it was always worse in election years.

Even more worser when Labor got in.

Strange but true. The Neuro that diagnosed me 29 yrs ago, asked me if I had any UFO or Alien encounters. I laughed. He was serious. Other Clusterheads had reported such things.

If it was a UFO, I hope they come back and fix me.

Dang Don...I'm jealous...7 or 8 neuros and never met one like that! Closest was the one who upon examining me asked permission to bring in a student intern because I was "such an odd case".
It was hilarious...and I readily agreed.......................

Gregg, i have often wondered over the past 25+ years "why me"....and have explored so many theories as to what makes my brain/body different/defective.  One thought i've had is related to heavy metal poisoning and specifically lead.  The reason i wonder about lead poisoning is because i power-sanded and painted numerous houses during high school in the late '70s, and I no-doubt inhaled lots of lead based paint dust in the process.  Could it be?...Just a thought

Thanks, LasVegas.  Now this thread is right up my alley.  I do love a good conspiracy theory (especially aliens)!  I've seen the Bourne movies like 100 times each.  Love them!

My thoughts are that we need to contact the show Ancient Aliens (the History Channel) and have them do an investigation.  Maybe we could even get Giorgio Tsoukalos to interview a couple of us CHers and give us his theory on who, what, where, when, how and why. 

Maybe the headaches are some sort of communication from an alien species that we just can't receive at the moment.  Once the aliens tweak their signal the CHers of the world will be able to come out of the "shadows" and speak for our new ET friends.  (hehehe, sorry, a little CH humor there  Grin)

I have a head full of other theories and suppositions, but I'll save them for later as more evidence presents itself.  Remember...the Truth is Out There! 

Oh My, you guys got me off on a wild tangent! (Lord, help me, I'm gonna get kicked outta CH.com for my crazy ideas and wacky sense of humor.) Thanks for the laughs today, folks!  Hope everyone is having wonderful and PF day!
