There is a ton of good info there. You might want to check out the section called "Sufferer's experiences" to get an idea of how effective it has been for so many of us.
Most who have tried it have gone with the mushrooms, but for some people it seems LSD works better.
The more info we receive, the more apparent it becomes that there are certain things you can do to make it more effective:
1) Be completely free of other meds and traces of other meds before dosing
2) Take enough that the effects are noticeable. It is not necessary to do a Grateful Dead fan type dose, but it is a mistake to do too little.
3) Have a similar size or slightly larger dose available as backup in case the first dose does not eliminate the pain. DO NOT take this backup dose sooner than five days from the first one.
4) Remain completely med-free for the period between doses.
Some have managed to get 100% relief in a single small dose, others have been on other medications and still had great success, but the above conditions will give the greatest chance of success.
Go for it.
