(27,900 posts)something from the back of my mind that I'd read brief bits of (off and on through a few years); of to help mitigate chemo treatment side effects. (cancer survivors, and one living w cancer in my various circles - so yeah, I take peeks at this stuff)
Don't know if you can get it, how she, you feel about etc
But look up CBD- Cannabidiol: it's the non-psychoactive property of marijuana, and hemp plants.
They're basically the same species - Cannabis:
Marijuana has more than 0.3% of THC (psychoactive)
HEMP has less than 0.3% of THC.
What can it help with:
Reduce Pain (partly from inflammation, swelling reduction)
Reduce Nausea & Vomiting
Increase Appetite (reduce serious weight loss)
Help with Insomnia
A site suggest getting a product that gets it CBD
only or mostly from Hemp Seeds (low thc factor).
At least 3 delivery mechanisms:
Edibles, drops, and vapes.
I hope this might be of some help.
My thoughts will be with you and your wife.
Since aliitlelark went to shamanism I'll add this-
There seems to be a prayer group on DU perhaps to pray for people. You might be an atheist, or agnostic...
but prayer is a form of vibration... and the universe is full of vibration.
It certainly can't hurt at least imho.
Good advice from posters (both my parents had serious to severe illnesses at times my mom in particular early on Saturday n my life at 5+ yrs, she in her 30's, my dad later).
