...what do you think is the link between a "sinful" lifestyle and CH? Even if we established that 100% of us are or have been smokers/drinkers, it's still a statistical oddity until the chemical cause-effect is worked out. Even then...inevitable questions arise: Why does drinking not trigger attacks when I'm not in a cycle? Why do people who abstain completely--like Drummer--get hit every day? I'm not defending the vices, mind you; I think there likely is a link, but it's also likely to be a very complicated series of chemical actions and reactions that effect the relationship. Profiles, like stereotypes, can be very misleading, obviously, and people sometimes over-react defensively. Obviously. :-)
