Today’s episode of chronic pain rewired is one for the books! I had a great conversation with Bob Wold, the founder of an organization called Clusterbusters, an advocacy group for people suffering from cluster headaches. If you’ve never heard of cluster headaches before, stay tuned because it’s the first thing we talk about, and you’re going to want to hear about this bafflingly devastating condition commonly referred to as “suicide headaches.”
Bob is 70 years old and he was diagnosed with Cluster Headaches approximately 45 years ago, which eventually led to his founding Clusterbusters in 2002. Clusterbusters was founded upon the principles of the need for psychedelic research proving its benefits as a safe and effective treatment for cluster headaches, one of the most devastatingly painful conditions known to mankind.

Disclaimer
I need to be clear that this podcast is intended for educational purposes only though I do hope you find it entertaining, or at least interesting as well! Nothing about my story or the information contained in any and all episodes hereafter should be misconstrued as individual medical advice. Your health, any choices you make surrounding it, along with any potential consequences arising from those choices always have been and always will be your individual responsibility. I’ll even go one step further and say that if you really need to hear that disclaimer, it just might be for the best that you stop listening right now!
But if you are wanting to explore with an open mind a topic that might seem ridiculous on the surface, I invite you to join me as we go down the proverbial rabbit hole and explore what I strongly believe will be the next revolutionary paradigm shift in the treatment of chronic pain disorders: combining psychedelics with existing proven modalities to increase overall efficacy.
