In reply to the discussion: Marijuana Compounds Can Kill Some Cancer Cells: Study [View all]DeSwiss
(27,137 posts)38. Primarily the pain and degenerative effects of peripheral neuropathy, sciatica and arthritis.
I make Cannaoil using grape seed oil as the base. I've also made an Cannabis Tincture (from grain alcohol) but I'm not as skilled with that process. I've only been at it since June but the effects and benefits are beyond question. I've slowed the process but I live in a backwards state with no medicinal cannabis law. Ti get the best and fullest effects from cannabis, you have to consume it like any other food. Here's more info I recently sent to someone else asking about the process:
- First you need to know some cannabis science. I found most of that years ago in foreign medical journals and databases because politics in this country suppressed open research for so long. Since the mid-1970s. They knew.
As for medicinal cannabis, CBDs are what kills cancer and helps restore immune/nervous system health. For this compound as well as the CBDa's you don't need the high THC-content cannabis. There are now strains with hardly any THC-psychoactive ingredients, but are high CBD percentage in the ''sugar'' leaves and the tender stems. Even the roots can be ingested. It is juiced. It's chopped up into salads. It's cooked with food like any other herb would be.
THCs in cannabis on the other hand is what is mostly available in those states that have no medical-cannabis laws. Street stuff in other words. Which can be a problem if you're making your own oil when you can't vouch that the cannabis doesn't come laden with pesticides or growth hormones which are often used in the illegal recreation-cannabis trade. Only if you grow it yourself, or know the grower can you be certain of high quality cannabis that would meet medical standards.
The THCs in cannabis also have medicinal value. It is what helps with pain, anxiety, nausea and eating disorders. It's now being touted by even the feds as particularly useful in dealing with hard to treat pain. Like the kind I have from peripheral neuropathy. There are very few effective conventional medical treatments, and many with this disease end up on opiates. Some also have poor circulation problem as their muscles atrophy and may lose feet or legs from ulcers caused by the disease. But I use something else to help with that, so my feet and legs are very healthy.

ALSO:
I also use DMSO as a penetrant to direct the cannabis oil more specifically. It's not for everybody, but it is used by some for arthritis pain. DMSO is a naturally occurring compound and like cannabis is not patentable. Which explains the disinterest in it, in-part. DMSO, like cannabis, is a direct threat to Big Pharma. DMSO allows for the penetration of medicinals without the use of needles and can be directed at specific areas under treatment, thereby significantly reducing the amounts of medicines needed. It is currently approved by the FDA for use in the preservation of organs for transplant, and the treatment of interstitial cystitis.
It is interesting to note that both Cannabis and DMSO (among just a few natural substances) are used in hospitals all over world, but not in America. Where the FDA prostitutes only approve what their pimp daddies at the pharmaceutical companies tell them they can approve.
The discoverer of DMSO's health benefits is Dr. Stanley Jacob whose website (http://www.dmso.org/) has a great deal more info. It was his lab in the early 1960s that discovered that DMSO was the perfect substance to preserve organs so that transplants could take place almost anywhere. Prior to this discovery, all transplants required that the donor and recipient be in the same place at the same time. DMSO changed all that. Below is a news report from Mike Wallace at 60 Minutes done in 1968 concerning DMSO:
Good luck!
