Dear friends, I've just joined the forum but have been intensively reading it for weeks. My head is spinning from the amount of information out there and from fear for my father's health. He was diagnosed with liver cancer 3 months ago and has gone through one session of chemo -- that actually consisted of 3 applications over the past 2 months. He was very optimistic but the results were crushing -- the cancer doubled in size and metastases (small) found on lungs and brain. He just retired last year, just got grandchildren, we'd do anything to get him some more quality life time. The chemo was my dad's choice, he was raised to trust the system, but now he fully agrees with the rest of the family in not giving any more chances to the medical establishment to kill him and is on board with the oil approach. We all know now that it's the only way to go, we're just afraid to make a mistake in the form of application and a mistake in choice when purchasing the oil (we need to buy it, can't make it in our place and given time constraints).
Five days ago we started with oil that is high in CBD (200 mg/g) and apparently very low in THC and it's administered rectally but not exactly as a suppository, it's injected from a syringe where we put 0.75 mL this CBD oil and 0.75 mL coconut oil each morning at 7am and each evening at 7pm. The effects for the past 5 days have been that he is very sleepy, barely able to wake up to eat and drink, plus he's nauseated at times and can't eat more than a few spoonfuls. This approach is based on recommendations from someone who is knowledgeable and very active in MMJ causes, but I am seeing many different views here and am primarily concerned that we're using the wrong oil. In one of 420 Motoco's posts I read that the oil we need is 60%THC, 4%CBD, 1%CBN, and in this thread I see that the dosing should all be in the form of tacking against the gums (no ingestion at all). Is that accurate? And if so, could suppository or rectal application from syringe replace the tacking on the gums method? My dad is in a very bad state of mind and he wouldn't go a good job putting the oil in the right place.
Please help. I am exhausted from researching and scared to not take the absolute optimum approach in treating my dad's cancer. His state is very advanced and the cancer rapid, we only have one shot. Thank you all so much.
