THE CURE:
(PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LETTER)
After suffering for ehh? 8+ years with these cluster bombs. I think and am 90% sure I have come up with the cure, or at least a way to break the cycle. I started in on the fall session around October first. Above the right eye this time. I donıt even bother going to the doctorıs anymore. They are a bunch of knife happy bastards. I had, for the past two years, been trying with no success herbal remedies such as Ginseng, Ginkgo, Feverfew and all that stuff. Being a chemist, I approached the headaches scientifically, from what the doctors know, which is very little, and from analyzing the effects of other treatments that help lessen the pain and occurrence such as oxygen. It hit me. If circulation and lack of oxygen are a main problem, I wonder how this study aid pill I used to take for the all nighters in college would work. (Ephedrine HCl). It is like an aerobic work out in the form of a pill. It increases the heart rate and dilates blood vessels and over all increases the amount of oxygen in the blood stream. It is completely safe for most people. It really wakes you up and is a chemical neighbor of sudefed. So I tried them, larger doses than recommended by the manufacturer, But it worked.
I took:
3 tablets in the morning and then 3 at 5:00 when I got out of work.
Tablets are( 25mg Ephedrine HCl + 100mg Guaifensen<-Spelling?) They are about 1/4 inch in diameter and thin. They have a cross on one side and (M18) on the other. They can be found at a gas station near you by the name of Two-Way bronchulator and are commonly used as asthma aids (or a quick waker-upper for truck drivers). I am not sure if the Guaifensen does any good. They used to sell 25mg Ephedrine HCl alone but since it can be used to synthesize meth-amphetamine (Which your government has deemed way too fun and addicting for public use) they donıt anymore. You can also order Ephedrine HCl at your favorite pharmacy. It is an over the counter drug and doesnıt require a subscription. Ephedrine is non-addicting and non-habit forming.
NOW FOR THE GREAT NEWS: The day I started this treatment, only two weeks into the headaches when they normally last 3 months, They went away. I stopped the treatment after three days and had another headache. I started back on them and stayed on them for a week, They were gone and I havenıt had another since. I recently had an acquaintance stop by that had just started getting the clusters for his first time. He was a month into the cycle. He asked me what I do for them, So I told him that I had great success recently with this treatment. I gave him a few of the pills and told him the dosages. I just talked to him on (11/18/98) a week later, And it worked again. He hasnıt had a headache since he started the Ephedrine.
DISCLAIMER: Before trying this treatment, Read all precautions on the container thoroughly. Some people might suffer slight side-effects. Loads of information and interactions can be found on the internet, check them too. You are trying this treatment at your own risk.
