Magic Mushrooms for Cluster Headache Relief || Nicole Foerster

Summary of Nicole’s Experience with Psilocybin Mushrooms

Nicole shares their personal experience with cluster headaches, which began at age 16. After finding traditional pharmaceutical treatments only 30-40% effective, Nicole discovered online testimonies suggesting a 70% success rate with psilocybin.

Despite initial reluctance due to a conservative upbringing and anti-drug sentiments in her family, Nicole took a chance on psilocybin at age 18. This decision, supported by research from Cluster Busters, led to a significant improvement, with no headaches for three years!

What are Cluster Headaches?

Nicole:
Cluster headaches are often called suicide headaches because one in five people with them eventually try to commit suicide, and I’m part of that statistic. Three or four months out of the year, I was having them really severely.

After trying psilocybin for the first time, I didn’t have another headache for three years.

Why did you decide to try psilocybin?

I personally came to use these medicines because I was diagnosed with cluster headaches when I was 16 years old and found that there was a lot of information online about people healing themselves with psilocybin.

A lot of the research shows that the pharmaceutical options to treat cluster headaches are only about 30 to 40% effective.

And anecdotal evidence shows that psilocybin and other psychedelics have about a 70% success rate and completely putting the disorder into remission.

So it’s been personally transformative for me. I was looking online for really anything. Cluster headaches are often called suicide headaches because one in five people with them eventually try to commit suicide and I’m part of that statistic.

And I was really just looking online for anything I could find.

I was 16 years old and had never even smoked weed. I grew up in the South where alcohol abuse was really prevalent and had, or came from a family that was really anti drug. And so it was very like had a lot of stigma built up around anything illegal.

But found that this was really my only option for gaining control of my life back.

When I was 18, I tried psilocybin for the first time after reading a lot of people’s just personal testimonies online through an organization called Cluster Busters that had put together a lot of the first research on psilocybin.
