Cajun left this on his cancer regimen thread last night. We need to tear it apart and make use of all this invaluable information.

I can't divulge everything about the Bio Bombs for good reasons I learned the hard way.

Anyway, for Chew: To get it to absorb I'd mix it with hemp seed oil and then mix some with some yogurt like you're budwigging it (look up budwig therapy if this makes no sense) and some with lecithin placed in an ultrasonic cleaner.

I'd also mix some with DMSO and apply it to the skin above any tumours. I'd also apply this DMSO mix.The amount I'd use each way would depend on the tumour sites.

Personally I'd also condider ingesting DMSO but it's not pleasant. Into the hemp seed oil I'd also add some astaxanthin to stop it oxidizing.

I'd add the apigenin to the lecithin mix to aid it's uptake and I'd also take ecgc green tea extract to demethylate blocked cannabinoid receptors. This is what I recently suggested to someone.

Lecithin had the benefit that it increases the number of lipoproteins that transport cannsbis around the body but the egg yolk contains the vit A that upregulates receptors which is useful if the person needs the pain relief.... and the budwig has it's own benefits but it's not a proper emulsion....

Then there are things like PEG and DMSO which like to collect in cancers so might be added to the mix. Egcg is worth adding to them as it unblocks receptors and if a receptor is blocked then all is for nothing.

I imagine any essential oils being ingested can benefit from being added to the hemp seed oil and added to these emulsions I'm nervous about suggesting their ingestion, but added to a carrier oil and emulsified will be as good a way of ingesting them as any.

If this doesn't shake things up in 2 weeks, let me know. We'll get another path in this method cranked up.

Have at it crew.

Ok, I couldn't get this openly excited in Cajun's kingdom, but this is my home turf so here goes



Thank you for beating me to it. *sigh* Now we can get people to think about it more in realistic terms. It'll be good to have a central place to discuss it.

You have great timing KR.

 

[SweetSue]

Yes indeed, I started a new thread. There doesn't appear to be an end to this energy. Lol!

Hey! You can talk about anything you want. There's no "kingdom" around here. Lol. Especially no Kings. We dethroned them many moons ago.

When I came into this little universe I disrupted things, and now I'm trying to keep the information a bit organized. I also try to keep my over-the-edge exuberance somewhat contained to certain threads, this being one of them. Lol! Not easy to keep me in line sometimes, and your thread has more of the official air, as it probably should mon ami. This room is my mental playground, and I allow myself to be wide open in here.

Yeah..... like I'm not wide-open everywhere I go.

Once a month I end up passing out before 11 PM, to find myself wide awake at 4. When Dale was alive I'd curl up around him and go back to sleep. That doesn't work well alone. Now it's 5 and the birds are starting to sing. Huh! And I just realized that I have the option to take a few hits and let that work its magic. I even keep a vape pen next to the bed, loaded with indica wax, just in case, and then forget it's there because I almost never need it. Ahhhh...... sometimes I make myself shake my head in wonder. Lol! Let me give that a try.

 

[SweetSue]

Thoughts on blending strains. Let me ramble for a few.

You'd first need to know what you're treating
- the disease or physical challenge
- the body's inflammatory response
- symptomology

You'd need an understanding of the cannabinoids and the ratios that have shown some success in treating what you're treating

You'd need at least a rudimentary understanding of the effects of terpenes

Ok.... then it becomes a matter of determining volume ratios, and this is where I get hung up. What process comes into play here? So much of strain A, B, C, D........

I have the anxiety issue with the daughter not only under control, but to the point now that she's beginning to display evidence of some actual healing going on, which is incredibly exciting, but I can't help but wonder if we couldn't kick it up a notch with some blending of her oils.

On a completely different line is the BIL. Bipolar disorder and diabetes. Now, he's been on a steady regimen of Carnival for smoking and CBD Critical Cure fresh harvest infused and the difference in his attitude is astounding. In 36 years, I can't remember a time when he was so calm and happy. Happy is not a description anyone in the family would have ever attributed to this troubled soul, so watching him become content with life and hopeful for the future has been almost a miraculous thing.

But again, I know I can take this to another level with the right blend. Before I can do that I need to pin down the strains to grow. I think I'm on the right track with the Ultra Dawg. That one lit him up in a way even Carnival didn't, so it's likely a good choice. I'm growing that one for him the same way I grow the DDA for me and the Candy Cane for the daughter.

I feel a shift coming on. This process has intrigued me, but I've been busy in other directions. It's been calling at me recently, and it's sprung up in some distant conversations. These are indicators that understanding is around the corner. There must be some guidelines that can be followed.

Any thoughts guys?

 

[CajunCelt]

Oh, I do the same stuff. I'll find a vape pen full of wax that I got like 2 months ago so I could sleep.
When I was moving, a full half lb. in a ziplock bag just popped out on the middle of the floor. Lol.

 

[CajunCelt]

Sue, if your daughter is that setup with those strains, don't change a thing.

Lol! I moved some nute bottles recently and found some DDA I'd stuck back there for a moment and then walked away from. Bag seeds are in little vials all over the place. Jars of this or that, a refrigerator full of oils and capsules, and now buds drying low and slow..... nothing in my life is what society thinks of as "normal" anymore.

That wax did nothing to get me back to sleep. This is why I never nap and I stay up 'till 3 AM. Apparently my body needs 5 hours max.

 

[SweetSue]

Good point. She's been supplementing with high THC brownies. Yesterday she had her first taste of one with Carnival since her initial bad experience. It was cute watching her enjoy the sativa bouncy high instead of the laid-back indica. She's not sure how she feels about it, but at least we know she can tolerate it enough to get her out of the house without anxiety. That additional THC as she leaves the house has eliminated the anxiety she normally gets when she has to be out there in the world.

She's absolutely fascinated that her mother can function this well on that energy, magnified way beyond what her dose brought. Lol!

 

[dmarek413]

Does that change into a downward direction not count as relevant dmarek? Would not this suggest an internal shift? Forgive my ignorance about the test results, but I'd be more distressed if the numbers had increased.

The choice to biopsy is a sound one dmarek. That's why he'll push for it. It's only a danger if you fear the results and believe that a diagnosis of cancer is something that you have no control over.

The reality is you're standing in a room populated by people who got that dreaded diagnosis and used cannabis to turn the tide back to health and balance, so we know this therapy can be successful. There are no guarantees, but then what guarantee do you have in this life other than you will die someday? Everything else is negotiable.

The choice of what to do if the biopsy brings undesirable news is completely up to you. But consider that having the test done, once and for all identifies what you're dealing with.

The alternative is to stay the course and ask the doctor to give it another term, whatever timeframe you're comfortable with. The choices are yours. Take a breath and consider the options. Find some way to find peace with the situation and remember that within you, as in all of us, lives a healing force with such potential that it would stun you if you could grasp the totality of it. You're already supporting it in ways others know nothing about. You're cutting edge.

Whatever choice you go with, keep cannabis in the protocol. Cannabinoids are evolved to promote healing. Give your body the best chance for success. We'll support you regardless of your choice, you do understand that?

Sue, i am relieved that the number didn't go up. I just expected it to go down more. Now i am just taking a maintenance dose of one gram a month in weaker daily capsules and that doesn't seem like its going to be enough. I thought i had it all figured out but now I am back to being confused on how to proceed. Do I start over at a gram a day? For how long ? The biggest concern is whether i used the right oil, and where to find oil with the right thc/cbd ratio. It suddenly seems like too big a task to achieve. As far as the biopsy... i think it's time to get it, It's just that I'm afraid of the pain of the procedure itself. Big baby huh !

 

[Cowbelle]

I posted over on a diabetes thread, and you answered, Sue, maybe I should be here though. I've had PMR, and been on prednisone too long, now dealing with side effects of that. It did handle the symptoms of PMR, but now I'm dealing with pre-diabetes, weight gain (30# in 6 months), shortness of breath, fatigue, overall pain. At 75, and alone, life doesn't offer much joy - I retired last Sept from the P.O. and don't have a social life, was looking forward to gardening and sewing, but now don't have the ability to do them. I can't tell you how it makes me feel to have you answer me! I have a young man who offered to grow for me - apparently has a full on grow system, and we're in CO, so no problems. I bought seeds of Cannatonic, which he has started, but that's months away, so I'm hoping he'll let use some of his material until my girls are producing. I did go to a dispensary here, but the topical creams etc, didn't do a thing for me. The tinctures etc are so expensive, I can't afford them. Thanks for including me!

There you are. I stumbled upon you and was hoping we hadn't lost you. I had a feeling though. Ok, Polymyalgia rheumatica, this should respond well to cannabinoid therapy. I'm going to suggest you make an infused oil. That fresh harvest infused that PsyCro worked out for us is an excellent candidate. You might be able to get your grower to pass on some popcorn buds and trimmings from a defoliation, if he's inclined to share. That'd give you a start on a regimen.

Vaping will bring you immediate relief, but youll need more cannabinoids than simple vaping can offer, and the level of THC that'll give the best relief will come with suppositories or micro dosing. Those increased loads will keep the ECS working at peak to bring about systemic healing. Nip that pre-diabetes thing at the bud. I recently learned that you can control diabetes with a regular dose of THC every 8 hours. I'll review that class today and verify the amount, but I believe it was 50mg. My thought was with a more complete entourage effect brought on by richer oils one could probably get the figure down a bit, but 200 mg of THC spread over the course of a day can be micro-dosed into something you can live a normal life with.

I'm supplying meds for my BIL, who has moderate diabetes. This is the disease that took my husband's life, and I'm bound and determined to do everything I can to spare him the terrors we endured, so you, my dear, are right up my alley.

Rick Simpson demonstrated years ago that a full run of his protocol would correct the expression of diabetes. I don't believe it'll take that much, but we know it'll give you the best chance going. Cannabinoid therapies work to correct the root problems as they relieve symptoms. Strive to balance the healing force within you and it can get back to its job of keeping you in balance.

Do you have anything available right now?

Obviously your endocannabinoid system is out of balance. There are some simple steps you can take to support it without cannabis, and I'd recommend you take a read through my thread on that. I just started a new thread on basic information last night. It's the link in my signature right under "SweetSue's Threads". You'll find the link to the thread on supporting the ECS there. It's also in my signature, but the new thread has links to the oil-making threads and our work on BioBombs as well.

Take a deep breath and accept that there's much to live for. I have this practice of waking up every morning and grinning like a small child while joyfully proclaiming right out loud to the universe that "l'm ready to play!" I call it deliberate waking. Instead of letting joy stumble into my bleery morning I deliberately embrace it and anticipate delights beyond measure.

Quite frankly, this new practice has transformed my life beyond my wildest expectations. I highly recommend you embrace this concept. Your endocannabinoid system responds dramatically to your emotional tone, and yours feels beaten down. This will begin to immediately shift the internal landscape and support the ECS in amazing ways no medicine can match.

I can't tell you how pleased I am that I heard you, and you heard me. What a delicious start to a new day.

Anytime they take a knife and cut into you it's painful and messes to with the integrity of the netting that holds all of you together beneath the skin and acts as the signalling mechanism for all of your body's cells, so I can appreciate the hesitation. It's painful and scary.

You've been through the gram a day protocol, so you know how to ramp it up again. If it were me dmarek, I'd repeat the protocol. I need to review your information and give it some thought.

It's intimidating, to be sure, but certainly not insurmountable. We can help you get through the information overload and I'm going to assume the universe will work out getting you and the oil together, or it wouldn't have brought you to us. I have great faith in intuition and inspiration, and I know the healing potential of your ECS and cannabis working together. I understand your frustration, but I see tremendous potential that this diagnosis could be a temporary blip on your life screen.

You're not alone, and that must count for something, eh? We can build on that.

Oh, I've read most all the threads, and it is a bit overwhelming. I do plan on asking him for some material to tide me over until my plants start producing - he was totally thrilled to get the seedlings so I think he'll share what he has. I do so hope I can feel better - at this point I have to hold onto furniture, door frames to just walk through the house. Getting out to the chickens and dogs is a challenge - not fun at all though I love them and feel they are a reason to get up and out. One knee has been replaced, one not - but they both hurt equally, which makes no sense. It has to be inflammation in ligaments etc. Primary Dr. has had me take all tests - EKG, Echocardiogram, lung X-ray, - but online research says the shortness of breath is another side effect of the prednisone. We're trying to wean me off it as quickly as possible - which can't be too quick! I'm down to 8.5 mg per day. Thank you so much for answering me!

On the knee issues, I was looking into stem cell therapy for my knee a few years ago. At that time the orthopedic surgeons were just talking about total knee replacement. But the stem cell people said with the knee problems I had and the swelling that came with it, that more than likely I also had back trouble. This was diagnosed over the phone with just the information I gave them, I didn't ever mention back trouble, they did. Not saying yours is back related but something to look into. The surgeons want knee surgery, the stem cell doctors wanted to treat me with nutrition and other means.

 

[Cowbelle]

I just recently have low back pain - but the knees have been a problem for years. The one replacement did it's job - that knee was locking so that I couldn't straighten it and that was solved. Now they just plain hurt all the time, worse when walking. I do pay close attention to nutrition - though it's difficult to follow all the various protocols - low protein for the low kidney numbers, high protein for the pre-diabetes diet. I'm hoping the cannabis can alleviate these discrepancies.

Bookmark that post for reference to what your life used to be. In a year you'll be amazed at the changes. They'll come faster than that, but you're going to want to read that again in a year.

I'd venture to say a good part of your pain is caused by tension caused by the pain. It creates a viscous cycle of inflammation and more pain. Cannabis will begin to relieve the tension almost immediately. This is the great value of euphoria. THC doesn't heal the pain, it stops or dulls the signaled response. CBD goes to work eliminating the causes of pain to reduce inflammatory response in the first place.

The ECS monitors all systems, including the endocrine system. I have faith in the ability of cannabis to begin a healing tone throughout all of your systems. It simply takes consistency in dosing with the proper ratios and terpenes involved in the song. I find cannabinoid therapies easier to work with. No nasty side effects, only continuous healing.

All those years we thought cannabis was only for smoking and getting high. This to me is the big hit we took with prohibition, we starved our endocannabinoid systems and teased them every now and again with a joint or two that offered so little therapeutic use to the body that it's sad. We were treating symptoms, looking for relief from stress when we could have been feeding the body enough to heal.

Well, we can catch up. You'll get relief. It's basic biology in my mind. Input the building blocks of cannabinoids, create the mindset that joyfully anticipates positive outcomes, and augment the system with a consistent supply of additional cannabinoids and some of their favorite playmates. Stand out of the way and let natural healing progress. Cannabis, faith and expectation. It's a triple whammy against disease I'll take any day.
