Thank you all for the information. I feel blessed with having so many angels helping me. Its made me feel as if for a moment the whole world stopped to embrace my situation. thank you so so much.
Like most of all here I'm trying to help a loved one. My mothers tumor measured 4cm(July) and has grown to 6cm(October). She has been in so much pain specially when she walks. I'm assuming because the weight of the tumor and gravity pulling down is causing her the pain.
I feel I'm pressed for time because this coming Tuesday (10/31) she has an appoint to see her oncologist and opp for chemo. I just made a new batch of suppositories to add CBD but I don't know how fast we can see results. I'm trying really hard to avoid her taking Chemo.
5 g RSO oil 74.6% THC: 0.18%CBD
1 g CBD oil 67.7%CBD :0.14%THC
cocoa butter
this makes 12 supositories
not sure how to figure our the math or if it needs more CBD. Also I made the batch before reading all the suggestions. Will look into BioBoms now.
About the suppositories the reason we are using cocoa butter is because when we used coconut oil it gave her diarrhea. At the start of her suppository adventure we were using capsules but every time she would use them she noticed the capsules would not dissolve and would pop out when using the restroom. I found the Back Door method of Paula-Noël Macfie and that is the reason my mother is now using ordinary suppositories. She was having a hard time ingesting all the oil orally and she was having lots of hallucinations. She uses three suppositories a day.
Hope this helps paint a clearer picture and pray we get information as to what to do next. I have lots of homework to do and catch up with all the threads suggested. I'm having an info overload, but it's worth the stress!!!
Thank you all!!
Edited for clarity..
The BioBomb formulation can work in 1 ml syringes for individual doses. This is an option that's been a godsend for a few members. The olive oil used as a carrier oil is a cancer fighter too.
I see your concern. You have the added complication of an oncologist not up to speed with cannabinoid therapies. I recommend you contact Mara Gordon's team at Aunt Zelda's and see if they can supply you with any current information on the success they've been having with their oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy.
It's a common misperception that the only use for cannabis in chemotherapy is to offset nasty side effects like nausea. What we now know is that the cannabinoids will potentiate certain chemo drugs, allowing for a reduced dose of the poisons. They will also protect the neurons, and help the patient weather the treatments much better, with a higher rate of success.
I'm not a fan of chemo either, and the more I learn.... but I'm not a fan of closing the door on any reasonable attempt to stop the progression of the cancer, so if this is your mother's decision, be consoled in the knowledge that you have a medication that will dramatically increase her chances of being a chemo success story.
If she chooses chemo I'd like to have a conversation on protecting the gut. Mara once stated that she'd never had a single chemo patient that didn't have an inflamed gut from the lips to the anus. There are steps that can get one through with minimal distress.
Guys, you know my challenges with math. Someone please step forward and help work out a formulation for the oil.
CCSC, you have 12 suppositories made. Use them. Cannabinoids help the body spontaneously heal, and it doesn't much matter how you get them in there. We work for efficiency and improved bioavailability, but you start where you are and make the improvements you can.
How often are you dosing? Whatever it is now, improvements can be made as you progress.
Your mother has this marvelous endocannabinoid system, who's function it is to balance the central nervous system and her immune system. Chemo attacks the immune system, but her cannabinoid therapy offers a shield to the trauma that might otherwise occur. The cannabinoid therapy you both decided to pursue will work in concert with the healing force that simply needs a helping hand. You have this. I'm impressed that you have it so well in hand already. Trust. Cellular healing can be slow at times, but it's a natural force you're shoring up with the regimen, one of the most powerful forces available, and under happier times capable of doing all of this on its own, with little conscious help from us.
Things always work out.
