Find her blood type and have her type her foods into this search engine.

There are an amazing number of foods which are fine for some people, yet cause significant pain in others. Removing the avoid foods can significantly cut down on episodes where pain suddenly increases for a while.

Pain sucks, fight back hard!

Try Psilocybin

Thank you so much for the info.

Unfortunately I cannot obtain help from our old California clinic since it was an oncology specialty clinic (and we live abroad). But I will pass this info along and hopefully we can get the ball rolling!


Extremely grateful, seriously.

He is a true testament of the capabilities using natural cannabis rubs along with other family members who have successfully used the same rub for everything from surgery pain, sciatica, ms and arthritis. It's a home made rub my mom makes with all natural ingredients. It's fairly easy and safe to make (saves a lot of money buying from stores)

I could always forward the ingredients if interested.

I don't know the science behind it, but can say she's made batches from strains testing high in cbd that were not as effective as the strain she usually uses with little to no cbd? Not just by my dad's testimony but by others as well even without their knowledge of the higher cbd ingredient, they reported back that it was less effective. Seems a few strains she uses with no cbd work more effectively.
There are no psychoactive side effects whatsoever.

Thanks!

I think we will start by calling a clinic and ease her into it with "creams" or rubs... she may be less resistant to the idea if it is not edible.

Just as a heads up, I found that the creams offered in dispensaries were not strong enough to be effective. I got some homemade coconut oil for my dad to use as a rub and it worked great, but the amount of weed and extracts that went in was pretty staggering. There was a commercial product he used for a while but it was discontinued, it was priced about where the homemade stuff would have needed to be in order to be effective.

My most recent batch of salve used 2.5 oz of very potent popcorn for 16 oz of coconut oil. I also used about 2 oz of bees wax and some vitamin e oil.

Hi, not trying to take away from the OP but I saw that you mentioned you would be willing to forward the ingredients for the rub your mother makes. Would you be willing to forward them to me? We are trying to find something that will works for my wife chronic pain. I have ben thinking about trying to make some RSO for other problems but wondered if this might help her at night.
Thanks for your consideration.

Meant to ask about this but clearly forgot, what does the bees wax bring to the mix? I have seen it mentioned in a number of recipes but don't know why.

Planning on 3 or 4 ounces of buds and gallon bag of trim to 16 oz of coconut oil. Might add a bit of rosemary oil so my pops feet don't smell like weed. I have been trying to decide on the bees wax front.
