A couple of times during attacks I used olive oil and it worked within minutes. The last time I tried it, it did not work. My mainstay now, even though I am pretty adamantly against heavy drugs is, get in a very hot tub, and take a demerol. I feel like I will never make the long term and keep my gb if I am in constant pain. I have done nine cleanses and am still having attacks when I eat bad foods. azdmarie
