I’m sure every crazy person on earth has given you their Migraine cure, but I just saw a guy at Kripalu who teaches Positional Therapy and he specifically cured his own horrible migraines which is what got him into learning about it.
His website/book:
And that’s why I use stumpwater in a cemetery at midnight, you bring the cat!
Thanks! When i get see my osteopath I’m usually pain free for weeks after wards, but he’s too good at his job and books 6 months in advance, stretches and massage help, but my trigger seem to be barometric pressure… hence why drilling a hole in my head is so appealing! The pressure is intense! 
- tho the movie Pi may have disuaded me for ever…
Ha ha! I am very sensitive to pressure, too. Fortunately, I don’t get headaches, but, for example, if there is a hurricane or a bad storm on the way I get soooo sleepy. Also when I get tired my hearing gets really sensitive and people tell me my voice is too quiet, but to me it sounds super loud.
I share your reservations about this…technique…but would note, for the sake of fairness, that solder burns can actually be quite painless: I had a glob of the stuff get ‘flung’ by a bent wire straitening up with some molten solder on it and it landed on one of my fingers. The metal hardened more or less instantly, courtesy of me-the-heatsink, but the burn went deep enough to kill the local nerves so I never even felt it.
Now, dealing with a tiny 3rd degree burn on a finger joint while it healed, that I don’t recommend.
As a kid I had a wart burned off by a doctor. It came back. Then I used acid (Compound W). It came back.
Home-made black powder explosives finally did the trick.
In a chemical reaction or a kinetic one?
I’ll go with chemical, since no projectiles were involved.
I don’t recall where I saw (though I’m sure it was fiction) someone pour gunpowder into a wound, then light it to explode/cauterize the wound. Your comment made me think of that, and I winced.
That was Rambo III, “fixing” a gunshot wound in Afghanistan.
It did not cauterize the wound in my case.
A bit of fat wire heated under a flame has worked for me in the past.
If you love this post, not sure how I know this, but there is a whole YouTube genre of pimple and boil popping videos.
There is also Two Mules For Sister Sara where they use lit gunpowder on the arrow stuck in his shoulder when driving it through to the other side.
#A-HA!
I knew the ridiculous “photography at night” thing was a cover for something!!!
And it’s good for more than just warts!
As a kid, I was fascinated by wart cures. Every old remedy book had a thousand ways to cure warts: rub a frog on them, knots in string, bury a key under a horse’s turd, I dunno. Now that I’m a grownup with actual warts, I can’t get the damn things to go away, and turd keys don’t work, I can tell you. Neither does freezing, nor the paint-on stuff.
I was living in a big city once, and had to go to a dermatologist. Even in a city, the wait was six months.
Unrelated to that particular instance, I’ve removed warts one or twice on my own, but I didn’t use a soldering iron. What I found to work well is an upside-down can of keyboard duster. You make a little mask out of cardboard or some-such to protect your finger (i.e., make a cutout the size of the wart) and freeze the bastard off by spurting the duster on it.
I would recommend this to anyone before they try that soldering iron thing! There was really no associated pain, and the wart fall off within a week, never to return (in my lucky experience).
I have literally lost friends over foot bath “detoxes” - like they stopped talking to me because THIS IS NOT A THING OMG STOP!
