AIDS Patient - Rick Simpson Testimonial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2JyhO79po8

[c-ray]

I am curious about using coconut oil instead of the naptha as rick recommends and I did some rough math so...

1 ounce of dry bud @ 20% thc dissolved into 1 lb of coconut oil should last roughly 12 days @ ricks recommended dosage of 0.4g of thc per day

that is 32 grams of coconut butter per day or about 2 tablespoons

for a 3 month run at ricks recommended rates of consuming thc to combat cancer or other ills it would take about 8 ounces of high quality 20% thc cannabis, 12 ounces @ 15% thc or 1 lb @ 10% thc cannabis bammm!

[guest]

baaaaaaam!

[Springs]

The many other compounds should not be forgoten either. I think its safe to say nabilone and dronabinol are not curing cancer.

I think I'd prefer coconut oil over naptha, good thinking!

[guest]

And would we not loose some of the beneficial compounds of cannabis if the oil is prepared strictly from hashish instead of the raw fresh
plant material?

[c-ray]

If by hashish you mean the ice/water extraction, what oil are you refering to? The ice/water extraction is the essential oils. I agree with using vegetable oils and if one can afford it hemp seed oil.

actually some of the terpenoids separate from the resin when making ice hash
take a look at the surface of the water the next time you make ice hash, there will be essential oils on the surface of the water
also when making ice hash there are plenty of aromas are in the air
if I can smell it in the air that is a clear indicator that some essential oils have separated from the resin and are floating about in the air

also I am still curious about your aversion to using coconut oil?
I was told once that the coconut is the #1 food of all time for humans so I can't see how it could be so problematic, especially if one is using a very high quality extruded or centrifuged coconut oil like tropical traditions brand for instance
maybe there are a few who could exhibit some symptoms, but perhaps it is a case of detoxification since coconut oil is rather detoxifying and the skin is a detoxifying organ...let's say I am skeptical
I am talking about when consuming coconut oil
coconut oil by itself is probably not the best for topical application but mixed with oils like virgin palm oil, jojoba and sea buckthorn it would be good

the problem as I see it with plant oils like hemp especially is that they are high in polyunsaturated fats so they need to be refrigerated and they are highly vulnerable to rancidity
some ways to overcome this scenario is to make the oil in small batches, to make frozen treats like hemp based gelato or make the oil into treats and pasteurize then vacuum seal and store them in the fridge or perhaps package the oil in smaller vials or needles like rick is using and keep them cool
it still has a short shelf life even with refrigeration, maybe 6 months tops

I am thinking sea buckthorn oil might be a good one for internal consumption too...there are 2 oils from seabuckthorn actually, there's a seed oil and a fruit oil which comes from the pulp of the fruit
there is one seed at the center of a sea buckthron berry
anyways I am reading the pulp oil is high in saturated fats so it might have a decent shelf life
it is a real medicinal oil too, very high in antioxidants and vitamin C and carotenoids but it is an acquired taste (slightly sour like vitamin C tablets) maybe too much for some folks

red palm oil like this might be good too -> http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/red_palm_oil.htm
it has a unique taste too slightly carroty maybe or like sweet potatoes

and lastly sesame oil might be another good choice for internal use as it has a long shelf life at room temps

[c-ray]

ok sorry about all that but it is useful info still I do believe

especially if one is cooking the oil to decarboxylate the thca
that is my assumption that we need to decarboxylate but.....
....
....
....but I am also curious if anyone noticed if Rick Simpson is decarboxylating his oil?
(ie heating to x degrees for x amount of time to convert the thca to delta9-thc)
it seems to me he isn't

[guest]

If by hashish you mean the ice/water extraction, what oil are you refering to? The ice/water extraction is the essential oils. I agree with using vegetable oils and if one can afford it hemp seed oil.

Yes Microbeman, i mean the ice extraction.
I am refering to the oil you make when passing your ice extraction through a solvent......
Ice extraction is not solely the essential oils...
And 94% food grade alcool is so much better than naphta if you are going to make oil.

C-Ray,
Don't the cannabis tissues themselves contain beneficial substances that should be extracted for a complete, well rounded medecinal effect?
One.

[c-ray]

C-Ray,
Don't the cannabis tissues themselves contain beneficial substances that should be extracted for a complete, well rounded medecinal effect?
One.

yes sure but also the pollen, seed and leaf
eat a bud yes it's pretty zingy like oregano so there is something there but also lots of minerals and vitamins which might help with the healing process
will it come to a point where we will stop extracting and simply grind everything into a fine powder or blend into a paste
maybe it is worth trying to extract some buds into oil, then after sufficent time immersed in oil blending the whole thing rather than straining

[c-ray]

As far as I know, he is just heating to evaporation levels.

In a way I think he has reached a discouraged standing point in his movement, having been turned down by so many. I know what that is like. He also was always confronted by the mythical street drug stigma. I have spoken to him a few times on the phone. He asked me for a step by step ice/water extraction process because he wanted to stop using naptha. I sent this to him in the simplist format possible and when I checked with him he had not tried it. His web administrator then asked me to resend it and I've heard nothing nor have I seen any changes on his site. Anyway, he has made some great contributions and sacrifices and it's time for others to help carry the ball.


maybe someone needs to send him some bubble bags hint hint

[Green Supreme]

I think he's anti Bubblebags. Peace GS

[guest]

yes, the isopropyl is denaturated, normally with methanol i beleive?

You can purchase the 94% in a good liquor store, Global makes a good one.
I simply let it sit in the freezer a couple of hours and give my trichomes a quick wash in a mason jar before straining it through a coffee filter, or appropriately sized screening mesh.
When we want the best of the best, we put well washed food grade activated charcoal in the coffee filter before pooring our cannabinoid rich solvent through.
hmmmmm!
Peace.

[Green Supreme]

Was just kidding about the anti Bubblebags thing. Ahh Microbeman, back to beating the recreational user huh. LOL.. Need to build an extractor that uses the Brita Filters, just pop it in to use and replace it when it done. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Microbeman is cannabis really such an insidious plant that you believe recreational use should be prohibited? Ya you're smarter than me, hopin it makes you feel better. Teehee. Peace GS

[Loki]

Isopropanol (or rubbing alcohol) is not "denatured". It is toxic itself. Ethanol (the good stuff, that we drink), can be denatured (rendered poisonous) by the addition of methanol, which is highly toxic.

[westmoreland]

1 ounce of dry bud @ 20% thc dissolved into 1 lb of coconut oil should last roughly 12 days @ ricks recommended dosage of 0.4g of thc per day


do you actually think thc actually represents one fifth the weight of your bud !!! Those kinds of levels are not measured as ratios of thc to whole plant for damn sure !!!! Surprised you smart alecs haven't picked up on this from the get go.

[Green Supreme]

I wanna be like Microbe man when I throw up. Peace GS

[Lungus]

I've got a ball of scissor hash and I'm not afraid to use it,hahahaha.

[guest]

true

[Springs]

No, I have nothing against recreational use of cannabis and it is only another plant. Nothing insidious about it at all. I do, however take exception to potheads who place themselves into the ongoing development and battle to legalize for medical use (if not for all use) by pretending to have one malady or another, thereby lessening the chances for progress in medical use being taken seriously. I'm also appalled at the apparent large number of potheads who look down on opiate drugs such as heroin as being hard drugs and supposedly more harmful, when the fact is that smoking cannabis is much more harmful than opiate drug use outside of the 'dirty' needle issue and legal and economic pressure. I believe I have clarified this for you previously in similarly plane language, yet you wish to continue pulling on my sleeve for some reason. As I expressed previously, I have been involved in important research groups which disseminated information internationally for the advancement and understanding for the legalization of cannabis and other drugs. This was under the guidance of Barry Beyerstein, one of my mentors, whose quote you find in my signature. If you don't know of his work just google.

Hate to nit pick or pull on your sleave, I dont think cannabis, "is only another plant," its is in fact the most medicinal plant. I also take exception to your taking exception to others "supposed" medical malady's or problems, if someone disregards the potential, value and seriousness of anything, let alone a medicine, because of a few people's supposed dishonesty, well I take exception to the person who cant see past such a minor/trival issue.

Also to comment on the opiate appalment. I think that the issue is that many people that have pain have used opiates and perhaps have issues of dependancy, tolerance or addiction. Perhaps there is a disdain from "potheads" towards opiates becuase of the prejudice towards cannabis from the medical establishment who say, "you cannot use cannabis, Ill let you use opiates."

When you say smoking cannabis is "much more harmfull" I disagree.
The potential harm from abuse of opium is worse than cannabis imo, needle or none, but lets not debate our definitions of harm.

We're all on the same side here, moving towards the same goal.

[c-ray]

Those kinds of levels are not measured as ratios of thc to whole plant for damn sure !!!! Surprised you smart alecs haven't picked up on this from the get go.

who said anything about using the whole plant?
I am talking about using well manicured bud
if you have some valuable information to add by all means let us know
tell the people

[Springs]

I guess we disagree on this point. I would surmise that smoking anything over a lifetime is more harmful than using opiates like raw opium, heroin or morphine over a lifetime. Of course one will be addicted to opiates and have a decelerated [sic] digestive system but will not have the higher risk of breathing passage disorders. I believe I can produce some studies which substantiate my view, however this is really off track and as you have elucidated we are moving towards the same goal, assuming you mean the legalization of not just cannabis but poppies and other plants and fungi as well.

One interesting note. When I was involved in the rat park trials an SFU professer conducted a study comparing effects of all day longterm tobacco smoking to all day longterm cannabis smoking. For her cannabis subjects she needed to go to Jamaica. Her conclusions were that the negative effects of tobacco were much more profound.

If we were to do a comparison I think cannabis smoking vs opium smoking and cannabis ingestion vs opium ingestion would be interesting.

Perhaps the medicinal components of cannabis have a beneficial or neutralize factor of the traditional harm caused by smoking a substance.

Even "recreational users" are recieving the medicinal benefits, better to use it as a preventative measure, even unknowingly, than to wait untill one has problems. As the side effects and long term effects are negligible compaired to its benefits.



The radio interview was a good listen, I found the Jack Herer info was pretty amazing, I wonder if he's continued the "pheonix tears" regime and if he's continued to improve. I think that would be pretty substancial news.

[guest]

My man!
Peace.

[Parabola]

I would like to see some data other than anecdotal related to the anti-cancer effect of cannaniboids. Even if someone could collect peoples' healing experiences and compile them with as much of their medical reports as possible, would be very nice. For instance with Jim's story on Rick's site, it would be good to post his medical reports. These are available to patients.


how're these?

Marijuana Cuts Lung Cancer Tumor Growth In Half, Study Shows

ScienceDaily (Apr. 17, 2007) — The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread, say researchers at Harvard University who tested the chemical in both lab and mouse studies.

They say this is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, Delta-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), inhibits EGF-induced growth and migration in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expressing non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. Lung cancers that over-express EGFR are usually highly aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy.

THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body and activate these receptors. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.

"The beauty of this study is that we are showing that a substance of abuse, if used prudently, may offer a new road to therapy against lung cancer," said Anju Preet, Ph.D., a researcher in the Division of Experimental Medicine.

Acting through cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, endocannabinoids (as well as THC) are thought to play a role in variety of biological functions, including pain and anxiety control, and inflammation. Although a medical derivative of THC, known as Marinol, has been approved for use as an appetite stimulant for cancer patients, and a small number of U.S. states allow use of medical marijuana to treat the same side effect, few studies have shown that THC might have anti-tumor activity, Preet says. The only clinical trial testing THC as a treatment against cancer growth was a recently completed British pilot study in human glioblastoma.

In the present study, the researchers first demonstrated that two different lung cancer cell lines as well as patient lung tumor samples express CB1 and CB2, and that non-toxic doses of THC inhibited growth and spread in the cell lines. "When the cells are pretreated with THC, they have less EGFR stimulated invasion as measured by various in-vitro assays," Preet said.

Then, for three weeks, researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells, and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent in treated animals compared to a control group. There was also about a 60 percent reduction in cancer lesions on the lungs in these mice as well as a significant reduction in protein markers associated with cancer progression, Preet says.

Although the researchers do not know why THC inhibits tumor growth, they say the substance could be activating molecules that arrest the cell cycle. They speculate that THC may also interfere with angiogenesis and vascularization, which promotes cancer growth.

Preet says much work is needed to clarify the pathway by which THC functions, and cautions that some animal studies have shown that THC can stimulate some cancers. "THC offers some promise, but we have a long way to go before we know what its potential is," she said.

Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection

By Marc Kaufman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 26, 2006; Page A03

The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer.

The new findings "were against our expectations," said Donald Tashkin of the University of California at Los Angeles, a pulmonologist who has studied marijuana for 30 years.



"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."

Federal health and drug enforcement officials have widely used Tashkin's previous work on marijuana to make the case that the drug is dangerous. Tashkin said that while he still believes marijuana is potentially harmful, its cancer-causing effects appear to be of less concern than previously thought.

Earlier work established that marijuana does contain cancer-causing chemicals as potentially harmful as those in tobacco, he said. However, marijuana also contains the chemical THC, which he said may kill aging cells and keep them from becoming cancerous.

Tashkin's study, funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Drug Abuse, involved 1,200 people in Los Angeles who had lung, neck or head cancer and an additional 1,040 people without cancer matched by age, sex and neighborhood.

They were all asked about their lifetime use of marijuana, tobacco and alcohol. The heaviest marijuana smokers had lighted up more than 22,000 times, while moderately heavy usage was defined as smoking 11,000 to 22,000 marijuana cigarettes. Tashkin found that even the very heavy marijuana smokers showed no increased incidence of the three cancers studied.

"This is the largest case-control study ever done, and everyone had to fill out a very extensive questionnaire about marijuana use," he said. "Bias can creep into any research, but we controlled for as many confounding factors as we could, and so I believe these results have real meaning."

Tashkin's group at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA had hypothesized that marijuana would raise the risk of cancer on the basis of earlier small human studies, lab studies of animals, and the fact that marijuana users inhale more deeply and generally hold smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers -- exposing them to the dangerous chemicals for a longer time. In addition, Tashkin said, previous studies found that marijuana tar has 50 percent higher concentrations of chemicals linked to cancer than tobacco cigarette tar.

While no association between marijuana smoking and cancer was found, the study findings, presented to the American Thoracic Society International Conference this week, did find a 20-fold increase in lung cancer among people who smoked two or more packs of cigarettes a day.

The study was limited to people younger than 60 because those older than that were generally not exposed to marijuana in their youth, when it is most often tried.

[Green Supreme]

Titration is everything. Peace GS

[Green Supreme]

Glad you think so. Peace GS

[Springs]

Unfortunately this includes a very large portion of the population including most lawmakers and doctors. You may take exception to them all you like but that won't change anything.

Perhaps not, I consider such negligence criminal, perhaps a jury of my peers may aswell.


Well if someone wishes to do a study, I'll sign up for having a longterm ingestion of opiates (range of 190 to 500 mg daily). I did use cannabis orally in the form of hash at 1 gram daily until it began having negative effects on me neurologically (loss of balance, increased pain, effected speech pattern, coordination). That was over 25 years ago. I can tell you that now, I could take 500 mg of morphine and function working all day, even public speaking etc. Were I to take a gram of hash, I would not make it off the couch.

This is not meant as a derogative. I understand that many folks are not thus effected. I am strictly stating things from my point. Presently if it were not for opiates, I would be practically bed ridden but because of them I am able to do constructive things. I do realize that I am addicted but I have not increased my dosage range in 7 years so the pain control mitigates the addiction issue. Curiously, I have not had any flu or cold for any longer than 2 days in the period which I have been using opiates regularly.

I would like to see some data other than anecdotal related to the anti-cancer effect of cannaniboids. Even if someone could collect peoples' healing experiences and compile them with as much of their medical reports as possible, would be very nice. For instance with Jim's story on Rick's site, it would be good to post his medical reports. These are available to patients.



I think its great opiates help you and your quality of life, but you're not going to get much sympathy from me with the concern of a few peoples regard to opiates as a hard drug or other negative connotations. Your drug of choice is widely accepted and availible for those who find benefit. Lets drop the opiates from the discussion.

I would like to see some data other than anecdotal related to the anti-cancer effect of cannaniboids.

Who would'nt?! Perhaps if there was not for the written and unwritten rules against "established" people in regards to cannabis, we would be able to research it properly, and fully.

[Green Supreme]

Sorry I guess I gave you credit for being smarter than you really are. You think I picked the word out of a hat don't you LOL. Peace GS

[Springs]

Now there's a fantasy.

Fantasy that its criminaly negligent, or that a jury would ever agree?

You would do well to study up on the medicinal attributes of the poppy plant, the benefits of using it in a more natural form compared to the processed one. (kinda like marinol) (I would rather be drinking poppy tea than taking the pills). You might also take note that growing this plant for medicine draws a much heavier legal penalty than does growing cannabis. Globally the poppy plant is much more persecuted and many more families put through tremendous hardship over this persecution. In terms of it being readily available in pill form, I can tell you it is extremely difficult to find a doctor willing to prescribe opiates for long term use. They prefer very harmful anti-inflammatories which destroy organs. It is easier to find a doctor willing to sign off on prescribing cannabis (through club or gov't).

Come now, lets not do the plant debate/compairison, both are unique and are in the unfortunate position of prohibition/prejudice, it comes down to personal opinion with which has caused more hardships, and is more persecuted. Like Rick said its one has a better chance of winning the lotto than to get a doc to sign a presciption for cannabis, 3000 lucky people out of 30000000, which cannot be issued for long term use, like you said it could even be harder for opiates, which is also not just as criminal, imo.


There is a lot of research going on regarding the medicinal benefits of cannabis. As our friend pointed out for us, also at USA institutions in addition to the very important research ongoing in Italy and Spain. Israel, I believe as well.


Not sure about "a lot" there is a few, with great restrictions and limitations.


As a point of clarity concerning the data besides that coming from these studies; e.g. A compilation as I mentioned would include testimony from folks who have had healing from cannabis along with as much medical evidence as possible (like CT scan reports, treatment schedules, summaries, etc. etc.). I do know an individual who has copies of all this on file following a bout with cancer which was healed via another natural method. These sorts of compilations are often quite accepted by the medical/science community but would be helpful to the general population. Perhaps, such a compilation exists but it seems that the Pheonix Tears website would be a good place for this. Perhaps someone on this forum has the time and inclination to start work on this. Perhaps you Spring. You seem reasonably intelligent and resourceful.

Folks who can give testimonials and summize there treatment with alternative medicines usually do not keep it to themselves, there are many such accounts on many cannabis and non cannabis websites, http://www.phoenixtears.ca/jcj.html is the place where rick posts the testimonials he receives, forums have medicinal section, non ganjcentric sites like curezone have people talking about cannabis for medicinal purposes.



I think it important to look at things [w]holistically (sp?), including the broad sectrum of natural remedies given to us by Earth not getting too entangled in the tunnel vision of a movement or societal sector.


The only constant is change, the movement of freedom is moving to a higher or holistic perseption, our ability to untangle our entaglements and heal ourselves and environment is the movement out of the tunnel.


You know, I was not arguing in my last post, nor being sarcastic and I wonder if you were using an aggressive tone with; "Who would'nt?!"


Not agressive, more frustrated, but seriously, who would not? Its the same thing my doctor say's when discussing med cannabis, "like to see more scientific evidence, and less anecdotal" Rick covered this somewhat in Run From the Cure, cancer,and disease and medicine are an industry, they are not in the prevention or cure business.

Active Ingredient in Marijuana Kills Brain Cancer Cells
03.31.09, 08:00 PM EDT
Experts say finding worth further study, but patients shouldn't light up just yet

WEDNESDAY, April 1 (HealthDay News) -- New research out of Spain suggests that THC -- the active ingredient in marijuana -- appears to prompt the death of brain cancer cells.

The finding is based on work with mice designed to carry human cancer tumors, as well as from an analysis of THC's impact on tumor cells extracted from two patients coping with a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.

Explaining that the introduction of THC into the brain triggers a cellular self-digestion process known as "autophagy," study co-author Guillermo Velasco said his team has isolated the specific pathway by which this process unfolds, and noted that it appears "to kill cancer cells, while it does not affect normal cells."

Velasco is with the department of biochemistry and molecular biology in the School of Biology at Complutense University in Madrid. The findings were published in the April issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

The Spanish researchers focused on two patients suffering from "recurrent glioblastoma multiforme," a fast-moving form of brain cancer. Both patients had been enrolled in a clinical trial designed to test THC's potential as a cancer therapy.

Using electron microscopes to analyze brain tissue taken both before and after a 26- to 30-day THC treatment regimen, the researchers found that THC eliminated cancer cells while it left healthy cells intact.

The team also was able, in what it described as a "novel" discovery, to track the signaling route by which this process was activated.

These findings were replicated in work with mice, which had been "engineered" to carry three different types of human cancer tumor grafts.

"These results may help to design new cancer therapies based on the use of medicines containing the active principle of marijuana and/or in the activation of autophagy," Velasco said.

Outside experts suggested that more research is needed before advocating marijuana as a medicinal intervention for brain cancer.

Dr. John S. Yu, co-director of the Comprehensive Brain Tumor Program in the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said the findings were "not surprising."

"There have been previous reports to this effect as well," he said. "So this is yet another indication that THC has an anti-cancer effect, which means it's certainly worth further study. But it does not suggest that one should jump at marijuana for a potential cure for cancer, and one should not urge anyone to start smoking pot right away as a means of curing their own cancer."

But that's exactly what many brain cancer patients have been doing, said Dr. Paul Graham Fisher, the Beirne Family director of Neuro-Oncology at Stanford University.

"In fact, 40 percent of brain tumor patients in the U.S. are already using alternative treatments, ranging from herbals to vitamins to marijuana," he said. "But that actually points out a cautionary tale here, which is that many brain cancer patients are already rolling a joint to treat themselves, but we're not really seeing brain tumors suddenly going away as a result, which we clearly would've noticed if it had that effect. So we need to be open-minded. But this suggests that the promise of THC might be a little over-hoped, and certainly requires further investigation before telling people to go out and roll a joint."

I would say most terminally ill patients have little risk in trying a radical regimen such as phoenix tears, given the historical safety of cannabis extracts, while they will have much more risk by going the conventional route or even worse waiting for big pharma to test, patent and prosecute those who distribute such medicines and those are giving out such foolhardy information

ok here we go., when you are treating for general health puposes chloraphyl fine, but when you soak leaf for 24 hours{like most folks do, mine was 3mins} you have more cloraphyl then cannabanoids.,, so know you are going to try and treat pain, well from experience you need the most potent form of the medicine to titrate with, , i dont want to ingest heaps of cloraphyl, so i can kill pain you understand.,.,cloraphyl is good if you dont get another source of proteins, may give some magneseum, but you get those from any plant matter, point being if you are eating healthy, cloraphyl is not super benificial, so i would like my meds as potent as possible cause pain is hard to treat.so over a life time of ingesting oil i would rather ingest a pile rather then a mountain,., peace this is how she looks.,.,

[c-ray]

cool thanks for the explanation

I remember reading a patent that used ethanol to extract then did ph swings to separate the waxes, chlorophyll etc from the resins and essential oils

[Green Supreme]

Sparkly, good luck man. Hope it works well for you. Peace GS

[spaceman]

and yea it taste bad! I want the patient to be able to eat as well as smoke the meds if they need a quick reaction.,.,

[spaceman]

in the tube ready to use..,.,

[c-ray]

how many grams do you figure are in that tube? I look forward to hearing the results...!

[spaceman]

28.8

[Fungus Nat]

Nice going! What is going to be your daily titration?

[Lundin]

nice!! tell us how it works for you

From a Cannabis Culture article by David Malmo-Levine. Peace GS

One of my most recent memories of Michelle involves sitting next to her on a plane heading for the “Treating Yourself Medical Marijuana and Hemp Expo” in Toronto this past July. On the plane she showed me her anti-cancer medicine. In addition to using the “Rick Simpson oil” – 4 oz in 60 days - she began using Afghani Bull Rider powdered hashish in a capsule. She was using twelve capsules per day – according to Michelle just one capsule was enough to put any normal chronic marijuana junky on the couch for hours. She was also using synthetic THC pills – up to 8 per day. Perhaps the tumors were attracting all the medicine away from altering her perceptions. Perhaps her tolerance was simply at “heroic dose” levels.

On the last occasion she and her partner Jef came to visit with me, for the purpose of showing me all the little black tumors that were being pushed out of her body – apparently a result of her treatment with the oil and hash capsules. She insisted on me touching them – they were hard and round and black. There were a few dozen of them around her neck and she told me they were being pushed out everywhere. I figure she made sure I saw them because she knew I was completely and totally unable to sit on an important truth when it needed to be said. She knew I would do my best to let everyone know that there WAS an anti-cancer effect that the hash-capsules was having. She also mentioned an MRI she just had done – her liver was ravaged but her kidneys, lungs and spleen were clean! Michelle smoked non-stop so this alone was news-worthy. Had the cannabis cured SOME of Michelle’s cancer?

I wish I could interview her doctor and get an official response to counter-act the spin regarding Michelle on CTV on Oct. 23rd

[GoKart Motzart]

I was wondering if she was using the pheonix tears. Damn interesting about the black stuff coming out of her skin i wonder if she had it analyzed.

Have you tried it out yet vapor?

[spaceman]

yes works well for sleep for me i eat it at night and smoke{buds} through the day
my patient is using about half a gram a day and will move up to 3/4 very soon..,.

[GoKart Motzart]

Cool sounds good!

this is from the batch of timewarp that went the longest outside, its being made in to short breads for an old fellar that has trouble with sleep, and normals meds are not an option.,.,thanks god for cannabis.,.,

Boy, two, with brain cancer is 'cured' after secretly being fed medical marijuana by his father
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
4th May 2011

A desperate father whose son was suffering from a life-threatening brain tumour has revealed he gave him cannabis oil to ease his pain. And he has now apparently made a full recovery.

Cash Hyde, known as Cashy, was a perfectly healthy baby when he was born in June 2008 but became sick shortly before his second birthday.

At first he was misdiagnosed with glandular fever before his parents Mike and Kalli, from Missoula in Montana, were given the devastating news he had a serious brain tumour.

The little boy had to have arduous chemotherapy treatment to reduce the growth, which had drastic side effects including seizures and a blood infection.

His distraught parents were repeatedly told he was likely to succumb to the illness because the condition was so bad.

After one bout of high-dose chemotherapy, Cash was so weak he could not lift his head and was too sick to eat any solid food for 40 days.

It was at this point that Mr Hyde decided to take action and go down the route of medical marijuana to try to help his young son.

Cash's doctors refused to even discuss the option but his father went and sought authorisation elsewhere and then secretly administered it through his son's feeding tube.

He also told doctors to stop giving Cash the cocktail of anti-nausea drugs he had been taking - although he never told them what he was doing.

Mr Hyde told KXLY News that his son started looking better right away.

Mr Hyde said: 'He hadn't eaten a thing in 40 days - and, it was really incredible to watch him take a bite of a piece of cheese. It shows that he wants to live'.

He credits the cannabis oil with helping his son get through the chemo, and say Cash has now been declared cancer free by doctors.

The boy is now back and home and living the life of a typical young boy, playing with his elder brother Colty.

Medical marijuana is legal in some states, including Montana, but its use for children is poorly understood and quite rate.

The US federal government does not recognise the legality of using the drug for medical reasons and frequently clashes with states over the issue.

Mr Hyde told KXLY: 'It's very controversial, it's very scary. But, there's nothing more scary than losing your child.'

[Green Supreme]

I put it here too. Peace GS

(NaturalNews) Raw marijuana is illegal in the United States and is not approved by the FDA for medical uses though many states have broken away from the Union preferring to help rather than hurt people, as the federal government seems to prefer. The federal government is ignoring the science that has repeatedly demonstrated that marijuana is not dangerously addictive, is less harmful than alcohol, and in no way causes the social ramifications that got it banned for in the first place. Charlotte Smith said appropriately, "Heaven would smile if we would drop the use of the word 'marijuana' which was given as part of their propaganda against The Holy Herb of Cannabis."

THC has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration because medical science confirms its use in a broad variety of clinical situations. Specifically a THC-containing drug called Marinol is FDA approved though it does not come close to effectiveness of natural cannabinoids. Synthetic copies of natural substances rarely if ever maintain the same pharmacological effects as the original and we know this to be especially true in the case of marijuana and the chemicals the pharmaceutical companies manufacture to simulate natural cannabinoids.

Marijuana is a very special natural medicine that increases our chances of beating cancer, though contemporary oncologists are mostly interested in it for its ability to mitigate the nasty side effects of chemo and radiation therapy. They would never think of it as an important part of the actual treatment of cancer.

Marijuana, whose botanical name is cannabis, has been used by humans for thousands of years. It was classified as an illegal drug by many countries in the 20th century. But over the past two decades, there has been a growing movement to legalize it, primarily for medical purposes. Medical marijuana use has surged in the 15 states, including the District of Columbia, that allow its use.

The endocannabinoid system is a set of nerve receptors and related body chemicals that deal with appetite, pain-sensation, mood and memory. The interesting thing about the nerve receptors is that they respond to cannabinoids, one of the components of marijuana. There are many pain-relieving medications available today. Without doubt pain medications are a blessing for the temporary relief of pain as well as for the people who are dying and suffering. The safest pain relievers though are the cannabinoids, which can be used for longer periods of time with fewer side effects and dangers.

I have written several books on cancer and have been championing medical marijuana in my protocols for over five years. I am now writing a book on cannabinoid medicine and even I am surprised with the depth of research that resurrects the popular marijuana medicine from the 1800s and early 1900s.

Medical marijuana is now a cutting-edge medicine -- one that has been around the block in the world of medicine and was especially popular in pharmacies until it was made illegal starting in 1913 just after the Federal Reserve Act was passed. The same interests that took control of the money supply took control of the pharmaceutical industry. These fast growing companies needed to make inexpensive drugs and pain medications illegal so they could legally get away with murder from the use of more dangerous synthetic drugs.

All research leads us to the undeniable conclusion that marijuana is the premier cancer medicine mankind has been looking for and finally has found. The problem is that there are special interests whose main interest is that real cures for cancer are never discovered. Actually it's a mistake to think in terms of cure; it's better to think in terms of effective treatment, for cancer is a very complicated phenomena with multiple and often concurrent causes. Treatments need to touch down on many if not all the causes to affect a permanent cure.

Everyone who knows of my work knows that I have never recommended single-shot cancer cures. In have always recommended magnesium to be taken with the baking soda. In Medical Marijuana I will strongly recommend that marijuana be taken with heavy administration of magnesium transdermally, orally, and by IV. Together cannabinoid and magnesium therapies will break the back of contemporary oncology's predilection to try to cure people by poisoning them with intensely toxic chemicals and radiation.

Oncologists also use sodium bicarbonate when they administer chemotherapy to buffer the poisonous nature of the chemo agents as they are administered.

Until this writing, magnesium chloride remained as the number-one priority in my cancer protocol with bicarbonate coming in second, even though bicarbonate offers more immediate benefit in terms of anti-tumor effects. Medical marijuana has been included with my core recommendations but I am now thrusting it to the forefront.

Despite the legal problems, it is time for the field of medicine to wake up to the true value of marijuana in the treatment of disease. Marijuana has moved into a first-place tie with magnesium chloride in my cancer protocol and I am now recommending that it be used universally. Its effect is just too good and its price too low. Some see goodness and affordability as unimportant but anyone with a humane heart must surely recognize the importance of accepting marijuana as a beneficial therapy. Doctors beware; in an age of financial and economic collapse we will be desperate for inexpensive medicines that are safe and universally available.

Modern oncology comes from pharmaceutical companies with a sordid past. Everything about chemotherapy shouts out medical madness. For instance:

"In the past decade and a half, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the following for first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer: navelbine, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, and docetaxel. In addition, docetaxel was also approved for second-line treatment. In 2006, the FDA also approved a labeling extension for bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech, Inc.). We are repeatedly told that these drugs lead to a statistically significant improvement in survival, usually as demonstrated through one or two randomized controlled trials. What we are less often told is that the overall survival benefit of these drugs is in the realm of six to eight weeks! They hardly do anything in terms of real-life situations. Crudely put, the patient trades some serious toxicity for one to two months of increased survival," writes Dr. Ralph Moss.

"Doctors who truly care about their patients would do better to take a serious look at what is available in the field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and advocate forcefully for clinical trials to further test the potential of the most promising less-toxic treatments," concludes Moss.

My Medical Marijuana book will be revolutionary for the medical field not only because it champions the use of marijuana but also because it combines cannabinoid medicine with magnesium and pH medicine. Add iodine into the mix and we have four super-hero medicines that when used together combine to form a protocol that works on the deepest levels of physiology to effect healing and health. Add a few more items like high-dose vitamin C, natural chelators, and superfoods and we already have a powerful anticancer protocol. (In one of my next newsletters probably titled "Natural Allopathic Medicine and Marijuana," I will lay out in more detail my full protocol.)

Marijuana is obviously useful for many more disorders than most doctors and the government realize. Not only is it a front-line medicinal for radiation exposure and cancer but also for diabetes and a host of neurological conditions. It is also the best and safest pain medication. Marijuana is effective in easing the inflammation of inflammatory bowel disease, and is very beneficial in easing the spasticity of multiple sclerosis.


Emerging Clinical Applications For Cannabis & Cannabinoids
A Review of the Recent Scientific Literature, 2000-2011

http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/clip_image0062.jpg

Different governments and states are arguing whether cannabinoids are appropriate to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with the medical evidence weighing heavily in marijuana's favor. In this regard we will in depth marijuana's positive use and contribution to helping with the human world of stress and emotional upset that occur with PTSD and many other disorders including cancer.

Contemporary medicine recognizes how stress is one of the basic causes of disease but it does not recognize how marijuana addresses stress in a way that other drugs cannot.

Modern civilization has made some incredibly deadly mistakes whose consequences are coming down hard on us right now. The biggest mistakes though have to do with how human leadership has been organized these past few thousand years. The elite families that have run down the centuries until their blood turned blue have made a religion of making mistakes. Their dark spirits have cast a great shadow over humanity and have touched down in an especially cruel and inhumane way by rejecting the natural good found in the exceptionally useful hemp plant that not only provides cloth for the shirts on our backs but also an exceptionally safe and effective medicine.

Interesting MRSA is in the picture. Emery has contracted this in jail. It has been speculated that if he had cannabis in jail he may have had tolerance to this disorder. ood for thought. Peace GSF

[spaceman]

so this batch i made with sativa trim it turns out that i usually i put it in a 30ml tube and it is 30 grams most indica hybrids turn out this way, the sativa is two and bit times as dense it kinda freaked me out till i figured out what was going on....so weigh everytime when you are done dont get comfy thinking all oil turns out this way, cause this stuff looks like much less but the patient says it helps much more then the hybrids and such...

[spaceman]

this run i took and ran through activate carbon, wanted to see what it was all about, i have read some folks say dont do it, and other say it is great, so i will let you know what i think in a couple daze when we are through to the end process...

[spaceman]

so i ran some wash through carbon, well i read stuff online o dont do it it takes out all the resin bla bla bla, so the oil came out real nice and i kept the carbon after and have been soaking it seeing what a grabbed mostly dust/particulate that i would not like in my final pruduct, so i wouldnt bother unless you have some uber dry powder leaf around and there is lots of small bits, carbon seems to work fine for cleaning that jazz out. peace

[spaceman]

the last week i have been eating the sativa oil i made and i can honestly say it helps alot, i took 6 grams of sativa oil and mixed it with 22 mls of butter{heated the butter to melt and mixed in oil and shake up syringe with oil butter mixture}, i like about a ml or so on a piece of bread or a cracker and about a hour later it is full on. good addition to smoking i deffinatly smoke less and wacko bako feeling two thumbs up.

[spaceman]

another batch this is sativa oil. I like it, i have been eating every day twice aday, i take 6 grams and put it into coconut butter in a 30 ml tube{heat up 22 ml of coconut butter in a pot, turn the heat off after it has melted,then add the oil as per your liking stir it up and poor it into the 30 ml tube while it is still hot with a funnel} i use about 1ml per dose and it rocks me, would not suggest that dosage unless you are a heavy user, not for first timers lol.
So about a 3 weeks or so know i have been eating it steady, and i am feeling it build up in my body my pain levels are lower my sensitivity is much lower on my skin, i think this stuff is doing somthing.....I think cause i like smoking so much that eating it never realy appealed to me, well now i am in this position, and i am noticing the obvious medical benefits.strange the way our minds work sometimes.......SATIVA
