Wow, just wow. I can't begin to put into words what a life-changing difference you have made in my life, between both the oxygen and vitamin D regimen breakthroughs when treating CH. You've given me so much relief and hope when I had none. I started the vitamin D regimen and had to also do the full monty since my episodic CH is notoriously stubborn. After a week or so, I started noticing a decline in severity, frequency, and eventually, after 2-3 weeks I was down at least 50% in the number of attacks, and the attacks I was getting were treatable with oxygen + caffeine + benedryl, pretty much making it so I didn't have to take Imitrex. During that time on the vitamin D regimen, no headache made it past a pain scale of 4-6 (assuming I was later than I wanted to get to my oxygen or it was a more stubborn headache). I've felt out of control with CH for 20 years (since they started when I was 14 years old, but of course with misdiagnosed with hormonal migraines). That feeling of hopelessness and no control was dark and painful. You have saved my life and I tell everyone about this regimen. From the absolute bottom of my freaking heart and soul, YOU ARE MY HERO. THANK YOU!!!!

It was around April 2015 when I came across the D3 regimen on the Clusterbusters website. By this time I had already been suffering, untreated, from chronic cluster headaches for 18 months. I didn't think twice about starting the protocol. And boy, was I glad that I did. It didn't take long to see a reduction in attack frequency and severity. I was blown away! And I know it was the D3 regimen that was helping me, because it was the ONLY treatment I was using at that time. I'm still getting those same benefits today. And after adding 2 more layers of prevention, on top of the D3 regimen, my chronic cluster headaches are really well managed these days. This has given me the time and energy to help other clusterheads around the globe. And I tell all of them to get on the regimen too. That's the beauty of our community, Pete! You helped us. We're helping others. And now they're paying it forward too. Your legacy is a gift to the cluster headache community that just keeps on giving.
I will be forever grateful to you... for the difference you made in my life. Thanks a million, Pete! I hope you are enjoying your retirement.

Hi Pete,

I wanted to let you know how much the Vitamin D3 regimen and Full Monty has helped me keep my cluster headaches under control.

Before starting it, I was dealing with the uncertainty and disruption that cluster headaches can bring. Since implementing the regimen and staying consistent with it, I've seen a significant improvement in both the frequency and severity of my attacks. While it's not something I consider a cure, it has become one of the most valuable tools in my management plan and has given me a level of stability that I didn't have before.

I know how much work, dedication, and personal commitment you've put into researching, refining, and sharing this information with the cluster headache community over the years. Because of that effort, countless people like me have been able to find meaningful relief and regain parts of their lives that cluster headaches had taken away.

Thank you for everything you've done for this community and how open you have been with emails. Your work has made a real difference in my life and I also appreciate Craig for working with you and continuing the work to keep these protocols current and successful for so many clusterheads.

With great appreciation,

Gary Gibson

Firstly Craig. Good work. As a Kiwi you should be proud as! Mr. Batcheller. My wife and my rock is the warrior and has enjoyed 5 almost 6 years free of CH which we attribute to your regimen. When Craig asked me to leave a comment I couldn't have pressed the buttons to get here any faster. As a retired veterinarian I am taken back by your work.

Kudos and respect to you SIR from Rotorua in New Zealand.

Pete, dude, brother. I can't thank-you enough. Honestly, not just for the regimen but for everything you did for me. You opened my eyes again to knowledge and a topic that has provided fascination and learning for over a decade. You've helped me, my family and countless others. I want to thank-you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly in your debt, as is the world for your contributions. May God bless you, your beautiful wife and your family. I am privileged that I can say to the world that you are one of my closest friends and I am proud to call you my mentor. For the many cycles and attacks I've skipped - thank-you. I will do my best as long as I am on this Earth to make sure this information is available to all and where I can help another warrior, God willing, I will do so. Thank-you. Craig Stewart.
