Joe4truth,
I completely understand you wanting all the statistical stat's. All the scientific info I cannot provide as I am not a scientist. Like you, I just didn't jump in and did a ton of research and walked away more confused than when I started. I'm basing my knowledge on continuous use for a tad over a 1 1/2 yrs. My purpose was much more different than yours...my health problems was 4 heart attacks (angioplasty the first, quad by-pass on the second, missed blockage on the third 12 yrs latter and a stint the last.) lower aneurysm, severe food poisoning & high blood pressure, and lastly a accelerated heart rate of 290 for over an hour. Then 2 yrs ago we took care of our Nana 99yrs old for 9 mnths until she passed and both the Wife and I almost died from lack of sleep as we where so beat down physical and mentally. So out of desperation and helping a long time friend who has Parkinson do research I stumbled upon 'Run From the Cure'. While doing so the Wife just got over surgery and was taking Oxycontin for pain and after 2 days could not stand the side effects. We decided to get a recommendation for Cannabis for MEDICAL purposes. While at a dispensary we where looking for India to help us sleep and something for her pain. She ended up trying a tincture that touted 1 1/2 % CBD. She got to sample it and took 1/2 the recommended dose. On the way home I asked (20 min. later) hows the pain...she touched the area where the pain was and said OMG its gone!. Got my wheels turning even faster. I didn't know how to make the Cannabis Oil so I did some more research and found 'Pure Gold' Cannabis Oil touted between 74-84% and even though it didn't look like the color of Simpsons Cannabis Oil I was going to give it a shot...anything is better than I felt. Also I've smoked MJ for 50 yrs (my evening choice of relaxing) and felt it was safe. Opened the end of the container (like a vitamin E gel cap and took about the size of s straight pen head on my finger and rubbed on the lower gums and sat down in my recliner, laid back and waited to see what happened next. I've smoked cigarettes as long as I smoked MJ and the 1st thing I felt was like a cleansing of my lungs and immediately could breath easier. When explaining these feelings to my Wife...she started laughing saying SURE SURE you do. I felt great with no Euphoric at all and notice in about an hour most of my pain subdued. I used 'Pure Gold' for a couple of months until I felt comfortable making my own Cannabis Oil. I did this because @ the time Pure Gold didn't have an Indica strain of Concentrated Oil and we wanted something for sleep @ night. Speaking of which (Pure Gold might have a pure Indica strain now its decent enough, cost 40.00 for a half grm and 80.00 for a gram. I'm trying to give you some insight on my journey because if I waited for all the Medical proof and scientific evidence, don't think I'd be making this post. Info I give is based off my 1 1/2 experience of everyday use. What was so valuable to me was I could separate the BS from fact. Truth is, most everything I discovered was opposite of a lot of test done in the past...not the present. Keep in mind...old testing methods of the Cannabinoids was done using heat methods and the new way of using gases...so now there saying CBD kills cancer instead of THC and learning more in leaps and bounds. Dr. Guzman of Spain & the Gentleman from Israel have the most scientific data and would suggest getting info from their blogs. The best scientific info I have seen to date is

Besides my friend with Parkinson the Wife and I used Cannabis Oil for a year before we would discuss it with other friends. We wanted to learn all the possible side effects, what it helped with, the amount of dosage, to little, to much. How to make blends for daytime use, night time use, etc. In the time we have used the oil I had 4 days where it did not work. One was a simple fix...not hydrating or eating proper (all we had @ the start was Sativa) so this really curbs your appetite...next day hydrated and ate properly, all fixed. The second time just recently because I was doing a test on how low of a dose I could take (making it last longer), big mistake. I could of drove to NY and back) and threw my system out of whack. It took 3 days of no daytime only Indica to get back to norm. I remember reading a blog somewhere that said...low amount of CBDs is a up and a lot of CBDs induces sleep...that one is true btw. We are doing this so when our friends have questions we have answers. Also the Wife and I would never EVER want to give our friends or anyone bad info that would endanger their lives. Sir, I don't know about you but where I live my Doctors don't want to discuss Medical marijuana at all. They do tell me if I stop taking my meds I'll die (which btw I stopped a month after taking Cannabis Oil) due to blood pressure meds was too much because the Cannabis Oil regulated my blood pressure...I stopped Plavix because of server side effects and left spots on my lower legs (blood vessels popping near the skin) and after reading the side effects including death if stopped taking after 6 months. No more sleeping pills, no more aspirin, no more blood thinners. At one time I was taking 3 blood thinners! In fact in over 1 1/2 yrs I felt like I was getting a headache but never materialized.
Now to the testimonials...I have none at this time as far as completing the cure. He is why...when friends wanted to try the Cannabis Oil including my friend with Parkinsons they got scared away because they took the Concentrated Cannabis Oil wrong. The Wife and I couldn't understand this. At first we got the feeling of coming on to the euphoric side but never did. How come it worked on us and not them? My friend with Parkinsons said a side effect is a lot of saliva...but what about the other peeps? It became frustrating. BTW the dose we where using is about the size of a grain of rice. One day out of frustration wanting my friends to see how much Cannabis Oil helped us the next dose I took I just held my finger hard against my gum like I was trying to force it to stick for about 6-8 seconds...it tacked to my gum !!! which it never had done before. Then why did it work for the wife and I? When we used it we got enough on our gum to go directly to the blood stream and control the euphoric effect...NO KIDDING !!! Next question we had how could someone consume @ least a gram a day (cancer treatment) with out being in sleep coma for a couple of days? We stumbled on the correct way to dose without becoming euphoria and the feeling of great natural health shinned through. We researched the correct application that we could find..all the facts Mr. Simpson puts out there does not tell you the correct way to apply the oil...since the time we started til about a month ago. THE CORRECT WAY TO APPLY THE CANNABIS ESSENTIAL OIL IS NOT TO JUST RUB IT ON YOUR GUMS (if you get lucky it works) ITS TO TAKE ABOUT A GRAIN OF RICE DOSE PLACE ON YOUR BOTTOM GUM...HOLD FOR ABOUT 6-8 SECONDS FIRMLY (THIS REMOVES THE MOISTURE BETWEEN YOUR GUM AND OIL AND ADHERES). This will control the euphoric effect and allows you to take bigger doses to kill the mutating cancer cells as in your case. Once held in place as mentioned then you can rub the rest on your gums, scrape it on the back of your teeth, rub it on your tongue...the rest drains down to the stomach. This is how it works...what you get on your gum goes right to the blood stream (brain being first) this controls the larger amount you digest which goes to your receptors in your lower area (central nervous system) as I understand it CB1 (brain CB2 lower central nervous system). It took this long to accidentally find out how it works correctly every time. I read some post that we put the dose on whatever and eat it...I've digested my concentrate like that with just a couple grains of rice and after going to the bathroom fell...even though I caught myself I still head slammed on stone flooring and could of seriously hurt myself. I don't see how this is possible without being euphoric. Now I know.
So now I have my friends taking it correctly. My friend with skin cancer (what he told me) wasn't just skin cancer it the kind that starts from the inside and goes to the skin surface. When he first applied it topically in 2 weeks it went from the size of a silver dollar to the size of a pea. Also it ate through his ear...he plugged it with the Cannabis oil and it healed. His problem is he stops when taking his chemo pill (btw the pill is new and cost 800.00 per pill !!! he gets it free as an experiment). Then his side effects become so unbearable he stops that, then tries the Concentrate again on the surface. Now, he will try taking the Oil as the above mentioned application and stop his topical application. He reports he feels so much better. I suggested try taking the oil with the chemo pill (it will help immensely for side effects...from his mouth). He does not have any consistency in his applications and until he does no matter what he does, nothing is going to help him...natural, man made or combined. I've been told the C word by my Dr.s and until this has happened to you you never really understand how devastating it can be. For me, what I know now...and just my opinion, no chemo for me. I have friends that are Dr.s and Nurses and they even say they wish there was something better. So until he comes to a decisive decision whatever route he takes his intel is not a help to no one, including himself. My Friend with Parkinson has vastly improved especially his attitude since he can dose now without becoming euphoric. A vet uses it on horses who have skin cancer...apparently grey horses have about 80% chance of getting skin cancer...same type...starts from the inside and goes to the outside. In one month on the skin the have greatly improved. Now with the proper application he is giving it on the gums (he started this only a few days ago...so I haven't gotten any feed back as of yet). A friend with chronic back pain and neck pain completely gone (he is a nurse and even though he knows now he won't get euphoric and it takes care of his chronic pain he is not on a regular regiment, he won't say why...but I think he wants the Medical field to give its blessings, and I totally respect that, after all he has nothing life threatening). Another friend with HIV is starting to use it on a daily dose of a grain of rice and is waiting for his monthly test PPM in his blood to see if its coming down. Then when he gets his stats he can see if its working and will up his dose and see what the next test shows. A Dr. friend who has severe asthma and psoriasis of the liver (use a glass of scotch to go to sleep for years) and in one month looks like he was removed from death row and not only breaths much better but big nasty looking purple spots on his arms are going away...and he has NO desire to drink and has stopped. He says feeling healthier is his new addiction. My son with PTSD even though addicted for 10 yrs on Morphine and Oxycodone has got him off couch lock and being more productive and feeling much healthier and lost the 10,000 yrd look and doesn't slur. My wife doesn't get Migraines every week, no allergies, no pain, no menopause effects, regulated blood pressure, looks and feels better than ever @ 50. Myself...best check up in over 20 yrs...best circulation in years, no pain, much more energy, gingivitis is gone, no more irregular heart beats (heart disease hereditary as the gingivitis). Blood pressure is great, no pain (64) and I feel better than I ever can remember.
I can only testify from what I've seen with my self and my friends. As far as the clinical research goes that you request I can tell you my cardiologist and my regular Dr. won't participate. What country do you live in Sir?
I am going to continue spreading the word to those who might not have time to get all their answers they want. But know this...I don't lie, and only give FACTS I have experienced or the feed back I get from my friends. If we had every thing we needed from the medical field I think we will be long gone.
As far as the strains of MJ go I've done my homework on medical strain reviews. Harlequin hasn't been out that long so much more is being learned about its magic in high CBDs. Best pain med ever though ! In the last 1 1//2 I've researched Cannabis Oil, growing my oil strains (medically...full term) doing numerous test to see how it works with medication, no medications, dose amount, learning about my friends illnesses...and pretty much have devoted all my time to this.
Also a worthy mention...I'm not here to sell my wares (I have none except what we need) nor to hook up with people as a caretaker, no links for contact, no pms..only on the 420 Forums that EVERYONE can read. My only intention is to pass the word along for healthy living. Like so many others to get the TRUTH out. I'm so pressed for time as I got a Grandson wedding in 2 days. I know I missed some valuable questions for you and I'm sorry I cannot get to them right now.
Its for real...I'm for real. I would like to mention though...wading through all the BS out there can be overwhelming to say the least. But for me...it was a 'leap of faith' and finding people that helped give me great intel on how to grow, what to grow (all though their was grown for euphoric and not medical, that was a small adjustment). Now with the right way for application things are moving rapidly for my friends. For you Sir, whatever you do...if you wait for all the evidence you need...go the traditional medical route...if not take the leap of faith and heal yourself 1st...then put your testimony out there. Also if you watched 'Run From the Cure' Mr. Simpson usually only got people that the Dr.s sent home to die or by word of mouth. Personally if I was you and watched 'Miracle Cure 2 I would try contacting the Dr. who treated the lady with Cancer, she used the Cannabis Oil & he used the Chemo together. People have to understand when the Dr. says the C word it truly scares the CRAP out of you and your options are really made up for you. G/B
Be back Thursday.
ps Joe...I read your post thoroughly and missed the part that you asked this to Mr. Simpson. Have you received a response? The part he never seems to let out is the correct way to apply...unless I'm missing something...the method he says worked on me and my wife...but got others off to mars, even though they came back safely...not the safe way to do it.
