Growing Against Alzheimers - A Purely Organic Experience

*:):):)

You'll want to decide if EVOO or Coconut oil will serve you better for caps. You can start researching which oil will serve your needs better. I haven't tried coconut oil but it's on my list, but Toasty has. You'll also want to try Lecithin which is a natural binder for your liquid in caps. You can get all your supplies on am*zon too, easy. So it's all good, I'm here if you need me.

*Not sure if you can do Coconut caps btw, I know the Evoo can sweat and sometimes leak but you aren't supposed to put too much in the caps anyways. I can do more research for you in the meantime GGG?
I haven't had either as caps but had both as oil. Leaking was constantly an issue with both. I preferred the more neutral taste of the EVOO as the carrier over the distinct coconut taste, especially if you have to take it in any amount.

Van Stank, I think you could take a rough stab at calculating potency - the weight of whatever you're putting in multiplied by some guessed (or tested) potency of THC or CBD will allow you to roughly calculate the mg of THC or CBD in your batch of oil. Divide the mg of THC by the volume of your oil and you'll get some mg per ml number. You can then use that to dose.

The standard dose in the legal states seems to be 10mg. That's low for a regular user, but it depends on what you're trying to address. I might dose 15 mg of indica oil if I want to give myself a good chance at a good sleep and no stomach issues to start the day, but if I'm home and suffering, I would dose a lot more.
 
I'm mighty impressed and bursting with pride. Girl....it's like watching you come out of a fog. :hugs:

The review of the first episode was delightfully informative. I was unaware of the insulin resistence with ALZ. I missed the broadcasts because of other things going on, so I'm pleased as punch that you took copious notes.

Looking over the clones, I'm going with the one in the bottom right of the photo. :battingeyelashes:

Loving the looks of the CBD Dream.

I live with seasonal affective disorder. That's one of the reasons I have my veg shelf in my living room with the back open so it backlights the wall and the closet is wide open when I have autos in there. The light in this room keeps me sane. You can build a light box with cool florescents that can be set near where you sit that can offset much of the discomfort in the darkest months.

I also have an extra iPad that runs a virtual fireplace all evening. (I don't own a TV anymore, or the fireplace would be running there.) This simple change created the most pleasant ambiance, banishing the blues that often try to descend during the seasons with the decreased daylight.

I celebrate the advent of springtime more vibrantly than others. I have a greater appreciation for the sunshine. :battingeyelashes:

I saved all of them to my computer bc I knew there was no way I was going to be able to watch them all in a limited time frame. There could be copyright issues with posting them somewhere but if someone knows how to legally share them I'm game.

Good to know. Now I'll be tempted to use the Hammer 'O Rep. :battingeyelashes:
 
Welcome back!

Thanks for the video review notes.

Don't stay inside all day going blind in front of the TV and computer screens. Go for a walk, get the mail, go to the store for canna supplies. Just get about, it is good for you.

Peace. :peace:
 
My great grandmother had Alzheimer's too! I wish I could go back in time and help her.....at least we know about medical marijuana now and patients have a fighting chance against this terrible disease!

*I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the sacrifice of others. I will dose a dropper to your lovely grandmother. DONE! :Namaste:

I love that video, im confident new therapies using cannabis will be designed in our very near future.

*Yah I love it too. Suntana shared it on his journal and it just made complete logical sense that I don't think I could articulate.

*very interesting to read DW. ;)

*I wanted to make sure everyone could read my notes and understand without having to see the video. But there is so much more. Now I know why they charge for transcripts.

*I think you are also correct, my guess is the plant on the right too. She seems to be more balanced overall. ;)

*Now you know how useful your "class notes" have been to me. This is the best way for me to learn and to try and listen to what is being said. Even though it took me hours to do these notes, I don't see ALZ in my words like I used to. This is a huuuge task for me, but I absolutely love it and it's sooo informative.

*Also, when I was watching this episode it was like they were talking about me directly.

*After watching all the videos, I got so much validation from these videos because they repeatedly say that the doctors don't even know about these therapies because NOONE put money into bringing them onto the market because they wouldn't make money like the pills do. Again, another conspiracy to keep life-saving natural supplements away from humans in order to charge up epic pharma fee's. Make me sick. I have to get my story and mission out into the world. Thank you for helping me so much.:thumb:

Your grow is looking great G2HM. Kushy cannot be stopped!

*Can't wait for your smoke report. BTW, the strain is described as clear-headed. Would you agree with that description? Just curious.

I saved all of them to my computer bc I knew there was no way I was going to be able to watch them all in a limited time frame. There could be copyright issues with posting them somewhere but if someone knows how to legally share them I'm game.

*THANK YOU SO MUCH...that shows how much you care...making these super important videos available if need be...I have my own copies, but I appreciate you offering from the bottom of my heart, to the tip of my oil bottle...hahahaha. :thanks:

Good to know. Now I'll be tempted to use the Hammer 'O Rep. :battingeyelashes:

*May I ask what the Hammer O rep means? I am not getting it. ;)

---------------------------------

*Thank you to everyone who reads my rambling journal posts.
It warms my heart right from the start. :thanks::Namaste:
 
Hahaha! Sorry Baby.... The guys call my rep power The Hammer 'O Rep. :laughtwo: At the moment my settings page reads

*You're very welcome...
I don't watch TV it poisons the mind, unless a good movie is on Netfix...lol. But I do study over 8 hours a day. I know it's a lot but it feels good. I hate going out FP, maybe if you guys come over and pick me up we could go out. But that's not gonna happen because of distance so now I have no reason to go out...lol.

No seriously I understand where you're coming from, I'm back to being agoraphobic again, not gonna lie. It's so hard to leave when that world can be so mean. But that's not gonna keep me home permanently, I'm sure. Plus, I go to see the horses 3 times a week, in fact I saw them tonight to give my special guy some carrots and kisses. My husband is forcing me to go out by enticing me with animal visits. It works every time.

But still, it remains so difficult to face the world because I feel overwhelmed and misunderstood...good thing I have this forum. :Namaste:

*Awwww, thanks, now I get it. I love reps, it's like a virtual pat on the back. My brain thinks it's a fantastic way to share gratitude. :circle-of-love:
 
I only managed to watch the 1st couple of videos so thank you so much for taking notes and sharing them GTHM ..
The link to diabetes and cognitive functioning described in the videos was spot on.

I tried to tell the docs when I was in hospital last that I could feel symptoms neurologically when my blood sugars were rising and falling.
Their response was that it wouldn't be linked .

Education education education, thank you again soul sista for helping that process ...

And now thanks to this forum and in particular this journal, that won't ever happen to you again, will it? That's a critical connection to make. I believe THCa is the component we want to court for diabetic control. A morning canna juice concoction would be a great start to the day.

One of these days I'll find the reference, but I believe it's 50 mg of THCa every four hours to control diabetes. Hmmm.... time to track this down.

Edit: I think I may be incorrect. The evidence is on THCV being able to reduce insulin resistence as well as increase cellular sensitivity to insulin, so they can take up more. I'll keep looking.

*I thought about you throughout this video GN30 and wanted to make sure you understood that you're right on the mark brother. You were right about yourself from the very beginning. This is why I'm so gungho on getting your first harvest in my friend. You must feel validated then, finally getting some answers for you. How can we help you?

Good day SweetSue, how sweet it is. Thanks for dropping by.

Do you have a list of dose recommendation for major diseases?

Thanks once again GTHM, Sue and everyone here on 420 mag for creating such a platform for us knowledge thirsty self healers.

You are all saving my life in more ways than I can describe ..

I think I remember seeing that Durban Poison is a good strain to use with THCV in its profile.

Your so right Sue, I've learned the hard way that there is very little help available through our current medical system.
It's down to us as patients to help to steer the system back to working with nature as a primary treatment instead of ignorance tying up precious progress.

We are at such an exciting point in the understanding of cannabis.

I do love lifelong learning ...

We are at the right time at the right place to help ourselves and save many lives. No doctor can ever tell me my CBD therapy doesn't work. So we just go about learning until we can't learn anymore.

Durban Poison is a sativa though, wouldn't that impact your cognition?

Do you have any CBD blends?

Did you end up buying a tent or still using that massive garden box?
 
Good day SweetSue, how sweet it is. Thanks for dropping by.

Do you have a list of dose recommendation for major diseases?

Dosing cannabis is the same with every disease. You start sub-therapeutically and slowly increase the dose volumes while listening carefully to your body's responses.

When you reach a level where you're not comfortable, drop back one level and stay there until you have a very good reason to change it.

The reference I'm looking for was for a 50 mg dose every 8 hours of whichever cannabinoid it is that I'm searching for, and after finding the research I strongly suspect it's THCV.

Dosing guidelines for cannabis are very general, because every single individual will have a completely unique Endocannabinoid response to the use of cannabis. I have a thread that covers what we now know works for many. The link is in my signature line.

I encourage anyone to add to the base of knowledge we're accumulating there.
 
Thanks for that knowledge SweetSue.:thanks:

During the course of my study and research, there are some recommendations out there for some major diseases. I am making a list of what I find because it's quite a significant amount. For example, I read that someone with Parkinson's would be on 75mg daily.

Now I'm on 20mg, and compared the symptoms. I couldn't imagine myself taking that much. And this is why I ask you in case you've seen the same thing.

While I understand and pro-actively recommend exactly what you've written, I'm accumulating results from other research to try and understand the basis for various dosages.

I have the unique perspective of understanding dosage based on neuro degenerative disease progress I've been experiencing. I have so many questions when I'm reading studies from the outside the canna world.

Did you know that many studies done on patients with neuro degenerative diseases they primarily used a Sativa or Sativa/CBD to conduct their tests? I have yet to read (although I'm sure they are out there) studies on patients like me with CBD Indica. It seems that the Scientists think that Sativa is the way to go to target neuro dificiencies. But in some cases they're triggering patients with it, and this is why they say it Cannabis doesn't help.

Can you believe that? Somehow, the doctors say ALL CANNABIS is physcedelic, because they didn't to avoid the triggers in order to heal the deep pain and inflammation. How can they not know, don't trigger the brain? Seems obvious to me.

Yes Sativa has helped to repair global pain, in fact having 20% max would not be the end of the world for a neuro patient. However, when I read CBD studies, they record the progress in healing of cells and how many remained healthy and growing. But the missing link here is that I am still searching for brain studies using Indica which is what I recommend for my brain healing.

Anyways, sorry to ramble. This is why I was asking, because I'm just comparing studies upon studies upon studies.
I'm just making up for lost cells..lol
