Hi Cult, here is a post I give to people that want to heal without the euphoric feeling that goes along with ingesting the oil.
Let's take the equation out of the flowers/strain you used, and focus on application. When first learning tacking I tried drying my gums and it didn't work for me either so don't be discouraged. I was doing it wrong and here is how so; I would dry my gums remove what I was drying my gums with, then apply my dose to my dosing finger and apply. Too late! The saliva returned and as you mentioned it wouldn't apply. Then a friend told me how he did it and it worked perfectly. Let's review how his method worked and ours didn't. First he stuck his drying material (close to a 1.5-2 inches rolled up a few times for absorption) on his lower gum between the gum and bottom lip centered in the middle. Now while the gum is drying out now you apply the dose to your dosing finger. When that is done-quickly-remove the drying material with the hand that is free of the dose and let go of it while still keeping your lip out so it doesn't touch your gum. Now with your dosing finger make a clean firm swipe one time across the dried out gum. You can do it much easier with the help of a friend while learning the procedure. You can have your dosing finger ready as she pulls out the drying material while she is also holding your lip away from your gums. This way you simply focus on keeping your dosing finger flat and down as low as you can go keeping it away from your teeth but paying attention you're not trying to wipe the oil off on the bottom of your lip but keep it as low on your-gum.
In short time you will be able to tell how easy it goes on before the saliva comes back. Here is the most important part,-absolutely-no swallowing for 15 minutes. Here is a big help; have a glass of ice water on the ready before you start to dose as well as a spit cup. After you do the dose as explained above simply take the glass of ice water and take a sip, no swishing, no swallowing. After the sip simply tilt your head down and let the cold water sit on your gums a couple of seconds and gently spit it out in your 'spit cup'. This does several things; first it helps to keep the oil on your gums longer, secondly look in your 'spit' glass, see any little brown things floating around? This is what you would of swallowed. Thirdly it helps take away some of the bitter taste. Once learned YOU will take charge of the oil instead of the oil taking charge of you. Always dose after a main meal and after you brushed your teeth so if anything shows up in the 'spit' cup it isn't a food particle. If a dose is in between meals snack something, could be a cracker, trail mix, half of a sandwich, you get the jest. Also hydrate before dosing so right afterwards you not thirsty and want a drink. After your morning coffee/tea/hot beverage that is it for hot drinks.
After a little practice you will be well versed in dosing. Here is a huge benefit with this protocol; it controls your system, keeping your vitals working properly, your blood pressure in check, your sugar levels in check, your heart rate in check and also gives you a positive attitude in helping control your stress and anxiety. What does all this mean ? It builds your immune system up. What does that mean? Cancer does not advance when the immune system builds up. In fact instead of focusing on all the different cancer test focus on seeing if your immune system is getting stronger through test. Which it isn't now. Let's turn this around. Practice this application, let your Wife help until you master it. It becomes very easy and if no swallowing for 15 minutes you will notice that gets really easy also. Darn brain can easily become a traitor just based on how you feel and think. Do it correctly and you will think, the oil isn't doing anything, I don't feel much. Keep going and watch the turn around. Just keep doing it and you will start feeling healthier and healthier. Put your thinking cap on; what is this powerful concentrate doing? I don't feel much, it must be not working? Its working its butt off! It is just controlling the high. Whats the big deal of feeling high? Not much right? Wrong! It is regulating your system, your CB1 receptors start working and now they communicate with your CB2 immune system (they are up to CB3/4 and maybe more?). It really is this easy, let go of the fear of the oil and take charge Brother. I know everyone in the world thinks you need at least a gram a day, perhaps so doing other protocols?
Locally it is not the case. Just our opinion; we have found out it is more important to take it correctly than quantity. Importance on NOT losing control of the oil is key. I know, it goes against what the Industry says but in all honesty we have been trashed on our protocol from the start. If your head is not in a happy place the body follows. Stay focused, stay committed. Its the whole package, just not the oil. Concentrated oil, hydration, nutrition, and sleep, repeat, repeat and repeat. Now to one of the most important things of all; STRESS!. This is the deal breaker. Nothing helps stress more on the oil than taking the oil via gum absorption/tacking. You got the proper strains, daytime, nighttime and this will help control stress/anxiety/depression better than anything but also goes about its business to build your immune system up. In our experience this protocol has worked every time. When it hasn't worked it is because the people using it did not follow protocol. They didn't think it was effective because they didn't feel that big of change at the start so they moved on to other protocols. Anxiety/Stress if not controlled is a death sentence. Its simple math; stress keeps you up at night, no sleep results in tearing down your immune system faster than anything else. How can one heal when their immune system is weak? This is where chemo/radiation is such a fail. Yes it can knock cancer down but in doing so it tears down the immune system. So even though it can get cancer in remission you're left with an immune system that is so run down most of late stage cancers just don't have the strength to survive. If people who are using chemo/radiation as their protocol and your cancer counts go down low is the perfect time to start using the concentrate and also a perfect time to stop chemo/radiation. Let the oil build your immune system up.
If you keep doing chemo/radiation/chemo pill while on the oil it tears down your immune system while the oil is trying to build it up. No way you can build your immune up with a form of mustard gas. Also if you haven't done so look into the series 'The Truth about Cancer'. Very informative! So please follow these dosing instructions, pay attention, the main thing is after the one swipe, whatever doesn't come off your finger simply scrape off with a cuticle pusher/butter knife and add to your next dose. Pay attention to colder weather; press your dose down a tad with a cuticle pusher, warm up the dose with a hair dryer on low speed but on hot. this doesn't allow the dose to come off so easily getting it to your gums. As soon as you master dosing which should be in a short amount of time we can get you on a good protocol. Try 'tacking' three times a day to start for your daytime dose. Once after breakfast, after lunch and the third dose about an hour before dinner. In between these doses hydrate and snack. Two hours before bed take your Indica dose for sleep. Don't over think things right now, just keep doing the regimen. We can touch bases as soon as you post your tacking properly. Remember, key is not to swallow for 15 minutes. Get this down and we can move on to a more productive dosing regimen.
