Cluster Headaches

2018-04-12 at 10:44 AM UTCThe best way to avoid them, is to avoid sugar alcohols. That is avoid zero calorie sweeteners. They are everywhere, and you must read the labels of everything you put in your body. Ill give you a hint, most toothpaste has them, some vitamins also, for some reason, have them.
I will spare all the details. I will also leave it up to you to research every single thing in the ingredients list (active and inactive, as well as food ingredients). The list is exhaustive.
Stevia, although natural, is still suspect.
Again, I will leave out all the detailed research that I have gathered on this subject because fuck you.
Strong coffee is a widely available abortive treatment. It will take some time of avoiding the above mentioned substances before headaches stop. Certain activities, or a lack thereof, are also triggers. Up to you to keep a journal.

I want to say that I wouldn't wish them upon my enemies, but I do. They must be stupid to be my enemies, so they'll be too stupid to figure out that an unhealthy, synthetic western diet is whats causing it.
DID YOU KNOW that alcohol groups (talking chemistry here) are perceived by the body as sweet? Anyone else notice the slight sweetness of good vodka? Why is this? What do our brain cells use for energy? Look at glucose chemical structure. Makes sense that we would perceive it as sweet, we all like sweet.
Now look at Sucralose chemical structure. Looks as if some OH groups are replaced with Cl. Is there a similarity in size/ electronegativity between OH and Cl? Are we fooling our brains into perceiving them as sweet?
What bond is between the two rings? a or b? Why cant some people digest lactose? Why cant humans digest cellulose?
Its all in the chemistry.
There is something to be said about how the body handles these synthetic sweeteners.
Unfortunately, I have seen research suggesting that these toxins can cause cancer-like changes in a very important part of the brain that takes part in a LOT of human activity. Hence why some activities/lack thereof can trigger cluster headaches. The good news, is that if sugar alcohols are avoided, then these activities will stop triggering the pain. The brain can take a while to "heal", though.
PS I was watching an Israeli news segment called "news of the tribe". They said that research shows how artificial sweeteners coming from the west to "reduce risk of diabetes and obesity" can actually cause quite the opposite. How ironic. Figures that the jedis would make these things known in their own country. -
2018-04-12 at 11:39 AM UTCI once posted a detailed thread on another forum about this. It was an American forum. Everybody gave generic responses such as "thank you for sharing". The forum is full of idiots trying to "cure" (actually treat) their headaches by pumping their bodies with even more chemicals, some of them illegal even.
Some time later, maybe a year even, some guy from Europe chimed in. Said he made an account just to post in my thread, and pretty much confirmed all I said, albeit in broken English. Nobody seemed to notice.
The forum is still full of retards who are trying absolutely everything unnatural to stop the pain .
Anyway I hope this info helps someone. -
2018-04-12 at 12:51 PM UTCPeople assume that if these things weren't tested and safe they wouldn't be allowed into our food.
Meanwhile something like 75% of disease is due to lifestyle.
I think the younger generation will have to get a little more woke. -
