Would the turn out for a ham license be that large? I can't  
imagine the hobby to be so popular among new people.

Perhaps those people would enjoy a How To BBS workshop.

I would take them in a heartbeat (sans atrial flutter).

Your body is finding an adjustment as you work to avoid the  
foods that trigger problems.  Keep that up.  Eventually, the  
headaches would go away if you honor the limits that your body  
can cope with right now.

At one point I was getting what someone else told me they call  
silent headaches. It's when you suddenly see double-vision or  
strange white specks in front of your eyes or can't see quite  
right out of one eye.

I was getting the double-vision version. The episodes would  
last a few seconds.  I started documenting their occurences and  
noticed that they were reoccurring sooner between episodes and  
lasting longer each time.  Unrelated to that, I simply started  
to eat low-carb, low cal, high fats, no processed foods of any  
kind, and no sugar, to reduce my nearly 200lbs of weight to  
something more suitable for my frame at 175lbs.  During the  
course of that eating plan, the silent headaches disappeared.   
I only had one reoccurence when I briefly got lazy and decided  
to eat smoked sausages and picnic meats for a while (the kind  
that are pre-cooked and can be eaten right after opening).  I  
didn't quite make the connection with those meats right away,  
but when the double-vision returned, I knew that was the only  
difference in my eating.  I learned my lesson.  I haven't had a  
silent headache episode for years now.  Bonus.. a few other  
ailments disappeared after I changed my eating plan for the  
better.
