Introduction
What is a Cluster Headache?
Cluster headaches are not merely headaches; they are intense, excruciating episodes of pain that can be likened to a searing, relentless assault on the head. Imagine a pain so severe that it feels like a hot poker is being driven through your eye, accompanied by a sensation of pressure that’s almost unbearable. This is the reality for those who suffer from cluster headaches. Unlike migraines, which often come with warning signs, cluster headaches strike suddenly and with brutal force. These attacks usually occur at, or around, the same time everyday and often wake the sufferers up 60-90 minutes after they’ve fallen asleep. The pain of cluster headaches is so severe that they are also referred to as “suicide headaches”. Many sufferers experience suicidal ideation during individual attacks and are 20 times more likely to take their own lives than the average person.
During a cluster headache attack, individuals may experience symptoms such as intense pain localized around one eye or temple, facial sweating, nasal congestion, tearing of the eye and extreme restlessness. The duration of these episodes can vary from as short as 15 minutes to agonizing hours, sometimes repeating multiple times a day for weeks or months, hence the term “cluster.” For those that do not suffer from cluster headache, a good analogy is eating an ice-cream too quickly and the excruciating brain freeze the ensues, imagine sitting with this level of pain for hours on end, multiple times per day and night for months at a time.
What makes cluster headaches particularly distressing is not only the intensity of the pain but also their unpredictable nature and the disruption they bring to everyday life. They can render sufferers incapacitated, making it challenging to work, socialize, or even perform simple tasks. The relentlessness of cluster headaches often leads to feelings of despair, isolation, and frustration among those affected.
Despite being one of the most painful conditions known to medical science, cluster headaches remain poorly understood, and treatment options are limited. However there are options! As a cluster headache sufferer, I have used the Vitamin D Anti Inflammatory Regimen since 2015 with resounding success. I have had perhaps 2 or 3 attacks since I started the regimen in all those years and I have made it my mission to get this information and outreach to the patient community through a range of advocacy efforts.
I make clear to the reader now, I want nothing from you and my only desired outcome from hosting this website is to see you achieve the same pain free results that I did following this regimen. There are no courses to sign up for, no subscription fees to pay in order to access this information and I don’t make a single penny from any of the brand recommendations made here on this website, there are no affiliate links or anything of that sort. I would be remiss to try and make a single dollar from my advocacy efforts. Any money that I may make through hosting my Vitamin D3 podcasts on YouTube is funnelled straight back into paying the hosting fees for this website and from time to time, if I come across a fellow New Zealander that cannot afford to start the regimen, then I will buy the supplements for him/her. The information is 100% free and always will be. I strongly urge you to put aside any preconceptions you may have around “vitamins are a waste of money” (like I did prior to starting) and approach the information you find here with an open heart and open mind. If you have questions or wish to share your success, please send me a message using the form at the bottom of this page.
A safe and highly effective patient lead treatment protocol
The Vitamin D3 Anti Inflammatory Regimen
If you’re here, chances are you’re familiar with the unyielding pain and disruption that cluster headaches bring to your life. Enter the Vitamin D3 Anti-Inflammatory Regimen, a one of a kind treatment protocol designed by a fellow chronic cluster headache sufferer, retired Navy Fighter Pilot Pete Batcheller, affectionately known by many by his callsign “Batch”. This regimen has offered either complete remission or significantly reduced the frequency and intensity of attacks to many in the cluster headache community.
This regimen isn’t just another pill in the medicine cabinet; it’s a comprehensive approach aimed at addressing the underlying inflammation believed to contribute to cluster headache attacks. At its core lies the power of Vitamin D3, a vital nutrient known for its anti-inflammatory properties. By elevating blood levels of 25(OH)D vitamin D to a targeted range of 80-100ng/ml (200-250nmol/L), individuals, myself included, have reported remarkable reductions in the frequency and intensity of their cluster headache episodes. As earlier stated I have been pain free by and large since starting the regimen in 2015.
This treatment protocol involves a strategic combination of Vitamin D3 supplementation along with essential cofactors such as magnesium, fish oil, vitamin K, boron, zinc, retinol, and calcium. The protocol starts with a loading dose that is intended to swiftly elevate Vitamin D levels. The loading dose is then followed by a maintenance regimen tailored to the individual’s needs. The aim of this protocol is to keep inflammation at bay, and headaches in check.
When followed as per the free informative guides that Pete Batcheller has produced, available for download below, this treatment protocol is safe, effective and offers the sufferer a plethora of additional health benefits that come with maintaining a healthy Vitamin D3 level.
For many, the results speak volumes. Imagine finding relief within 12 days (my attacks stopped 8 days after starting), reclaiming moments of peace and normalcy that once seemed like a pipe dream. The journey to remission may not be without its challenges, but armed with knowledge, support, and determination, the Vitamin D3 Anti-Inflammatory Regimen has been an absolute game changer for myself and many others.
