Marijuana cannabinoids slow brain degradation and aging, reverse dementia

67. Don't know if this would help, but it might be worth a try

Some personal background:

My mother lived with chronic pain from a back injury in the early 1960s, and then back in the late 1970s/early 1980s she dealt with a cancer of the external genitals that was treated partly with in-patient surgery and then for-practically-ever with follow-ups with laser surgery in the office. It hurt like bloody hell for (iirc) years.

I remember that on her own she got into a program that worked with pain management via meditation and visualization. There was the "ice glove", things like that. She made her own tape. It helped her a great deal at the time.

You might give the Sounds True online catalog a look, specifically for Shinzen Young's cds on pain relief. There's one called Break Through Pain, another just Pain Relief. These are not cures, and they are not touted as cures. But they can help. Young uses Vipassana meditation techniques.

I took a look at some of the customer reviews at Amazon.com, and while one person complained that the 2006 CD for Break Through Pain was a watered down version of her old cassettes from 1997, everyone else felt the CD and book together were very useful.

I wish you all the luck in the world.
