My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Cheers back atcha,
It is my understanding that the THC concentration is less important than the CBD concentration.
That's why Indica strains are recommended.
Been reading a bit and have made some oil from Jack Herer, Gainesville Green and from several Sativa dominate mixes.
The high THC seems to be the limiter on dosage for most people.
They get too high for comfort.
High CBD strains temper the "up-ness" of the THC, and are medically more active for Cancer control.
(Do not quote me on this ,it's just my understanding of what I've read and tried.)
My personal experience is really quite limited.
But, have just germinated some "Herijuana" and some "K.O. Kush" for their thc:cbd:cbn ratios.
Also plan to try some "Anesthesia" and "Jackberry Kush".
Give me a few months and I'll have better information for you.
As for easy to grow indoors?
I found White Widow to be very easy to grow indoors and the end product is quite impressive.
Is the oil medically effective?
I'm currently watching an experiment with an MS patient, and waiting on some test results from a prostate cancer patient.
The remission in the MS patient is stunning!
And I should have some numbers on the cancer patient by the middle of April, but initial results are encouraging.
Please keep us posted on your progress.
Aloha brah,

Hi,
Thanks a lot for advices. I know that Rick Simpson is suggesting to make oil form Indica strain with 20% or more THC. Following this I have found Violator Kush (MalanaXHindu Kush) which has 22% THC and 1.5% CBD on GTA Seedbank - Barney's farm.
Maybe it's better to follow Rick's instructions.
Some people suggested Cannantonic from Resin seeds which has ratio of THC:CBD 1:1.
My wife has mets on her bones. She has started with the oil one month ago. I made the oil myself but don't know which strain.
She's very sleepy after she takes the oil. I hope she will start soon with 1g per day.
She did radiotherapy 2 times last year, no chemo. On Phoenixtears I read that she should take 120-180 g in 6 months.
I will keep you posted on her progress.
Cheers

Absolutely!
And it is my understanding that high CBD strains are most effective against cancer.
I looked up the Cannatonic.
It looks like a good bet.
Keep us posted on it please.
I'm trying 3 monster strains for the THC, CBD, CBN.
"Anesthesia", "Herijuana", and K.O. Kush.
Just planted, so it will be a while.
We have found, however, that high THC strains are very effective for MS.
Reduces symptoms while still allowing mobility.
With MS, mobility is often the goal.
So Gainesville Green and Jack Herer we're crossed both ways.
The JH X GG had very large, but mild colas.
But, when I tried GG X JH I was happily surprised by a superb pheno that is now a momma.
Low CBD, very high THC and a miracle with advanced MS.
And that agrees with the federal patents on THC regarding nerve repair.
(Might want to look that up)

You have a good grip on this, Vacko
Been doing your homework, yah?
One month in is a little early for objective proof.
So, subjectively, what's your feeling on progress?
The subjective on the PC patient?
Because of the location of the positive margins upon biopsy, and the perineural invasion.
He should be impotent and be having "elimination problems" by now.
Happily, he appears to be, symptom free. :)
We hope to have some objective, numbers in a little over a month.
And I'm sure you've read Rick's views on chemo and radiation.
Don't let that worry you.
With bone mets, radiation is usually tightly focused on individual mets and is palliative in nature.
Don't cure squat, but it shrinks the tumors, and that lessens the pain.
As long as they weren't killing off the bone marrow it should not weaken her as much as chemo does.
Makes her a good candidate for oil.
A word of warning though.
If the numbers come back good and the doctors ask how.
Be cautious!
Whether you trust the doctor that you are talking to, or not.
He will write it down.
Someone you might not have trusted face to face, will read it.
What we are doing here is illegal.
And some doctors are simply not be be trusted!
The MS doctor was told; "We attribute it to a higher power, and modern science."
My friend came up with that. Brilliant!
(She considers herself a modern scientist, so no lies were told. :)
This story is about to break everywhere, all at once.
Let him read it in the paper. :)
My best to your wife.
And to you, my care-taking friend, I know what you are going through.
Aloha nui, There is hope.

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Great News!!
The cancer patient I spoke of at the beginning of this thread has recently gone through a CAT scan. There are no tumors present!!! There was a tumor on his chest that was about the size of a baseball. It and the other tumors are completely gone! The only thing remaining is some scar tissue. He and I alike praise God for this wonderful medicine. Cannabis, and awesome plant, a gift given to us all from God. We should all thank Rick Simpson and the sacrifices he made to make the people aware of what God's plant can do. The patient has gained back the 40 pounds he lost. He looks healthier and better than I have ever seen. I am 100% confident and a true believer that the Rick Simpson Oil, when made and used correctly, can cure cancer. Now after 12 years of battling this disease, this patient is cancer free. We can only give our glory to God for this.
;) :thumbsup: :dance: :clap:

Hi to everybody,
This are really good news. I still don't have any update on my wife. She will have medical check in July/August. For now she feels great, no pain, taking oil 3 times per day, biggest piece before going to bed, she sleeps a lot and she's more relaxed.
Also she's on Budwig diet. It will be one year now.
Only news is that she has hot flashes lately, more during the night.
I will give you update in few months or before. Hope somebody will leave some new posts with more good news.
Cheers

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Isopropanol works well, and is probably the safest choice. I cannot comment on carcinogens in pharmaceutical grade isopropanol, but it would seem that it should be minimal. Acetone (pure, not diluted) also works well, and evaporates much faster. USP grade acetone is available and should be reasonably safe (from a health perspective). However acetone has a much lower flash point than isopropanol, so you have to be doubly careful about fires. Don't put acetone in a rice cooker (they're too hot). A double boiler on very low heat would work well (acetone boils at 56C; isopropanol boils at 83C). Also, acetone fumes are far more overwhelming (at least to me) than isopropanol, so be sure to have adequate ventilation. 30-60 pet ether (petroleum ether, 30-60 degree 'cut') or hexane will also work well. I don't know if USP grades of these solvents are available. It's similar to "white gas", but I would not use "white gas" due to impurities. These solvents also evaporate rapidly (like acetone), and have the advantage of extracting much less chlorophyll than acetone or isopropanol. Ethanol (USP or everclear - NOT denatured) is great for tinctures. Actually, you can use any distilled alcohol with an alcohol content over 50% to make a tincture (cask strength scotch or bourbon works well, and tastes mighty good; 151 rum also works well). Extract the plant material a couple of times. Tinctures made from alcohol will contain significant amounts of chlorophyll, but no more than you'd eat in a good helping of spinach. Unless you are especially sensitive to leafy greens, you are not likely to get chlorophyll poisoning. It takes a LOT of chlorophyll to make a person sick.
Have any of you ever had your oil tested?

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Hi L&G,
I was waiting some time to write this post. My wifes story goes like this: 2004 dg breast cancer hormone positive, HER neg.(full medical treatment chemo,etc...), March 2011 metastatic breast cancer (tripple negative) on her bones. My wife did CT scan today and the results came clear. All organs and bones are clear from new mets. She did 3 radiotherapy treatments on her bones in last year. All organs clear all the time.
Only thing is that her tumor markers came higher than usual. Her CEA 15 3 was usually around 25 (30 is the limit) and today it was 53 and her CEA marker came higher 1.4 and usually it was around 0.3 (0.5 is the limit).
We are worried since her markers were always bellow limit. This is the first time that her markers went sky high.
Her oncologist suggests two options:
1.) Wait 6 weeks and make another blood tests to see if the markers are going up or down
2.) PET CT next week
My question is if anybody have experienced this that RSO showed false results on tumor markers or this is just that the dead cancer cells are leaving the body and they are still in the system or something else.
She had around 50 g of oil in 3 months period + Budwig diet from April 2011.
Any suggestion will be helpfull

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
I'm no doctor.
But, as a human, I'd opt for the PET now, while the markers are high and, of course, the blood tests also in six weeks.
I know how much damage worrying can do.
It is better to know something, good or bad, than to imagine the worst.
The scans are clean and yes, it is possible that the "tumor markers" are misleading.
My "marker" is a specific antigen that is only produced by prostate cells.
After 6 weeks of RSO, my doubling rate increased!
Still symptom free though and will have a scan in September as a base to judge the next course of oil against.
She has what is most important.
Your obvious love.
So, I won't wish her luck, I'll wish her health.
I wish you both aloha,

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Thanks a lot for reply.
I have just double checked her blood tests and CEA levels are raised from 1 to 1.4 but they are still in range, 5 is the limit, not 0.5. That's my bad.
I agree that tumor marker test can be misleading but the markers showed increase. Her CRP levels were little higher also, showing some inflammation. Maybe this is the reason the CEA 15 3 markers are higher than normal.
We will decide in next days what to do next.

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Some new updates from my wife,
We have done blood test in September, most of the test were in normal range. One liver test GGT was little above the limit, 40 vas the value and 35 is the limit. No inflammation, CRP is in range.
Now the tumor markers: CEA 1.5 on last test was 1.4 still bellow limit 5.
CA-15 3 dropped from 53 to 39 still above the limit 30.
Now we have new thing going on, her lymph nodes on her neck are little bit enlarged and one on her groin also.
She has started with new type of oil which quality is very good. Basically her lymph nodes are enlarged since she started taking this oil. This could be just coincidence.
CT is scheduled for next week.
My question is if anybody had the same symptoms with enlarged lymph nodes while taking the oil?
Cheers

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Hi vacko.:thumbsup:.sounds like your love is doing some major league healing here.
Lymph nodes, think of like a washing machine..in a way. They are busy at work, right now.
I've been on rso for about 45 days and my glands were swollen, prior to taking it.
Since taking RSO, I've had some amazing unanticipated results. My glands, seem smaller and firmer, yet remain enlarged in the neck. Interesting you are watching something, I have been. I do not have cancer, that I know of. However, we all have cancer cells in our blood.
What I have noticed is: Muscles that were hard and numb, for well over a decade, are sensitive and useable..just in the past few days. I never thought, I would ever regain the use of those muscles, much less, still have any function in them. In my thighs, I am re-learning, how to walk. Re-visiting things that were numb and useless, is painful.
I am just reading your earlier post. The hot flashes are a normal side effect of stopping hormones. Most likely, your wife is taking a medication to prevent hormone production, since she is 'positive' for that. I am certain she was advised not to take any hormones? Or stop, if she was taking any? Sometimes, our M.D.s for get to tell us, to stop those hormones.
There are studies that show that cannabis cleanses' the liver. Hope this helps.
Are you growing yet?
A PET scan would be preferable. Keep up the oil. I believe in RSO and its effects. Keep us informed, please? :rasta: pr

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
I have no lymph swelling, nor does my patient.
If the neutrophils are not elevated and there's no fever, it's a red flag.
You'd best look into that.
I'd want a biopsy if my lymph nodes were enlarged in your situation.
Again, I'm not a doctor, so run this by the oncologist.
Here's a mainstream article that is long overdue.
Seems the cat is out of the bag.

My cancer patient who had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, is still cancer free. I am not sure if he has any enlarged lymph nodes since the RSO therapy, I would guess no being that his cancer was residing in them. RSO is not the only help, hemp can be just as good. When you combine them all together, you can truly make a dramatic difference in your life. I do not trust doctors. Our governments have taken away hemp-marijuana, not for one reason, for all reasons. Hemp and cannabis together makes it to where we do not need government or businesses. We can survive just fine with hemp and cannabis, that is why they made it illegal, it forces us to become dependent upon the government and their pet projects big businesses. For example: Nutiva organic hemp oil cold pressed unrefined, that is one of the healthiest substances that I can find. It has all of the beneficial omega fatty acids that a body needs, nothing else compares. I recommend everyone to take one tablespoon per day of the hemp oil. Also, organic hemp protein (powder) there is 15 grams of protein in three tablespoons and it is very high in fiber too. I just cannot find anything through internet search that even compares to the health benefits. I think the Nutiva hemp oil, which is pressed hemp seed oil, I think that is a necessity for everyone. If you do not have omega 3, omega 6, or omega 9 fatty acids in your body it can cause depression, hair loss, dry skin, and many other malfunctions within the body. No other natural substance even comes close to the health benefits of the hemp seed oil. Also, hemp fibers can be used to replace plastic, metal, cotton, and so much more. There is an old film of Henry ford, who had made panels for an automobile with a hemp resin, he was hitting the panels with a bat or a sledgehammer and he could not even put a dent in it. It was shortly thereafter that hemp was completely banned in the US and Canada. I am pretty confident that hemp and Rick Simpson Oil is a cure all for almost everything ranging from textiles, industry, health, etc. Denim made from hemp fibers will last 20 times longer than cotton denim. Hemp and RSO is our government and big businesses worse enemy. Do the research, see for yourself. We have been played and sold out.
Get the book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" a lot of great information regarding hemp and its many uses.

I gotta echo the the silent ones post and best wishes for health and happiness.
I've tried butane extraction twice. The first time the oil was more golden, I believe because I flushed the plant the last 2 weeks before harvest. I flushed the plant used for the 2nd. batch as well, but only for about a week (impatience) and that batch came out kinda brownish greenish, more plant residue I believe. Anyway, the more golden the more mellow and less harsh I've discovered, but potency seemed about the same for both batches. Personally, I think it's way easier to make canna butter... and if you're gonna ingest it anyway (I realize the butter is fattening) why not ingest it in the tastiest way possible, by making brownies or something with it.
Just my :twocents: :thumbsup:

My only problem with brownies, right now is: I am strictly gluten, sugar and caffeine free. So the oil in a capsule, is most effective for me. I make my brownies very strong..so it only takes a bite or two. However, I use that as supplemental...with my regular dose of the oil.
That butane extraction, is not rso. However, it is all 'harvesting' the trichomes.
The main purpose of rso, is to heal. RUN FROM THE CURE - Full Version - YouTube :jointsmile:
Oh, and I was warned to leave the butane alone, it is too dangerous. pr

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Well, I guess this is a final update on the Hodgkin's Lymphoma patient.
He has proven to be fully cured. His cancer has not returned, he is 100% cancer free! He just recently got checked again and the tests came out clean!
Mentally, I notice a big difference. He is more together and clear headed, he seems more sharp. If I hadn't mentioned it before, he is also a minister. He has dedicated himself to helping cancer patients now, along with preaching the Word of God.
There is a night and day difference on his appearance. When I first met him, he was like a fragile toothpick. Now, you would never had known how sick he was. He has gained at least 50 pounds if not more. Healthy as a horse!
Back in 2010 he was told that he may not see another Christmas. Well, since then, he has seen two! Not only that, he has been able to spend those two Christmas's at home with his family and not in a hospital bed getting another round of chemotherapy!
I just wanted to fill everyone in that RSO or concentrated cannabis oil has proven to be fully successful in curing this patient of cancer.
Thanks be to God for this miracle plant we call cannabis!!
Glory to God in the highest glory!

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
On September 24, 2012 I published an offer to treat a cancer patient for free with RSO (concentrated cannabis oil). This offer was only available in compliance with the Michigan Medical Marihuana Program law. I will not accept any compensation whatsoever as I stated in the offer, not even a cup of coffee.
I nominated a three person committee to help in selecting the candidate to treat. Much to my surprise, we didn't have much luck with getting applicants. Deep down I knew that someone would qualify before my offer expired. I set an expiration date of Christmas Day 2012. I said, "It is in God's hands, the right person will come at the right time." and he did.
Just one week before the offer was to expire, I received an application. The candidate qualified to the conditions of the offer. The decision to treat this patient was made on Christmas eve. I met with the patient on this day, December 24, 2012, to fill out the required paperwork and get the treatment started. After taking care of the legal mumbo jumbo, the patient walked away with 30 grams of oil, half of the amount to be provided through my offer.
This patient has cancer in a lymph node in his neck in the throat area. The doctors were suggesting a very invasive surgery to remove the lump along with radical chemotherapy and radiation treatment, because of the type of cancer, and their inability to locate the source of the cancer. He has been diagnosed with Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma to lymph node. Squamous cell carcinoma is typically a skin cancer, it is rare, but not uncommon for it to develop in a lymph node. The patient has chosen my alternative treatment plan instead of taking the doctor's suggestion of surgery and the other stuff.
The oil for this patient was made on December 22, 2012 utilizing a new method of extraction. I am now doing a quick frozen extraction using 99% isopropyl alcohol. Pictured below, is the 30 grams that the patient received on Christmas Eve 2012.
Attachment 288729
I would like to share with you some of the information that the patient has provided regarding the beginning of his treatment, the beginning of his journey to becoming cancer free. I couldn't be more proud of the bravery of this patient to go against the advice of the doctors and take a chance with a natural alternative to modern medicine.
12/27/12
I finally have some time to write. What a wild ride since Christmas Eve! Trying to keep up with everything is a challenge. I have just taken my 10th dose and finished my first gram of oil. My dosage is now about 1/8 gram.
The first couple of days were spent waiting for some incredible buzz to hit any minute. It caused me to feel calm and mildly sedated, starting at a rice grain size and adding just a little at a time.
I had an appointment with the surgeon that removed part of a tonsil to biopsy one week prior yesterday, the 26th. Of course, I started to get a really nice buzz that morning. They expected the biopsy to be positive and the ??source? of the metastasized cancer cells found in my lymph node. If the results were positive, chemo and radiation was waiting for me, down the hall. I would need a way out. GiGi and a few others helped me to establish a game plan for any outcome. I have to buy time now. I am in treatment now, but not the one that they want and they can't know it.
The surgeon came into the room and said that ??This may sound like good news, but the tonsil biopsy was negative and we aren't sure where the cancer cells are coming from?. ??I'd like to..? I said ??Excuse me?. He said ??What?? I asked him if he had reviewed my family history. He said ??No?. I told him that my mother had passed away from melanoma 14 years ago and that had metastasized from a spot on her skin. I asked if an irregular shaped mole, without a smooth surface and scaling, near the neck mass, could be the source, even though it wasn't textbook. I haven't heard from the dermatologist yet.
The doctor then went back to where I interrupted. He said that he wanted to remove the lymph node. I told him that I recalled the radical procedure that he had described to do that. He said that h e wold like to do a ??less invasive? procedure ??that shouldn't? involve more than a small incision. He wanted to get as much of the node as he could for another biopsy. Since it is his job to know the size of the mass, I told him that I thought it was getting smaller and would he see what he thought. He agreed and said that it was ??strange?. I asked him if it would be easier to take out if it kept getting smaller. He said ??Yes.? and we agreed to meet in a couple of weeks, after the mole is addressed.
GiGi suggested to start treating the mole topically and hold off any biopsy on it until there are no more excuses. She's the boss!
The buzz is pleasant. I'll keep adding to my dose, but I'm getting to where taking the trash out is a project, instead of a chore. Actually doing it is easy. The preparation takes a while. Where is all the trash? What size bags will I need? Where do I keep those? How many? And, if the phone rings, you have to start all over, if you remember to. Multitasking is a thing of the past. Tasking is taxing. If I have to do business, or something is really important, I seem to be able to lose the buzz completely and have extremely clear, focused thinking and interaction. I would not feel safe to drive, but I could do it.
I have a long history of experimenting with most drugs. I have a tolerance to most. I always leaned toward the sedative side than the stimulant side. My experience with hallucinogens doesn't make me fear a little too much oil and I could never smoke too much good herb, or hash. I've done my share of drinking. I thought that I would tolerate the oil well and I expect to be on a full dose by next week, or the week after. I have not had an interest in smoking anything, or drinking alcohol, since I began taking RSO.
No matter what happens, this is what was meant to be. The doctors are lost now and I am getting treatment. I am getting better. If the mole is the source, maybe they will find a bunch of dead cancer cells in the biopsy. I wonder what they would say . . . if anything.
I have already started to gain a few pounds. My night sweats were gone the first night (I had been soaking one side of the bed and moving over, almost every night). I am sleeping much better, but not great. Still have some strange itching, but that is reduced significantly. I had been getting cold, with sweats. That has not happened since my first dose.
Thanks to everyone and I hope that I get more time to spend here. I just got the news on the 3rd of December and I have had a lot to do since then. A few more documents and some short trips should get the rest finished up. It's getting harder to absorb, the foggier things get!
To be continued....

I will send you an email. Would love to have you post this over there. If you can not, I will copy and paste. High Five! I bet you are feeling very good these days seeing these amazing results! I have also proven here that RSO stops MS in its tracks, and can easily clear up stubborn MRSA infections. I think we actually have a strange problem starting to develop here... RSO is so completely effective on such a wide range of ailments and maladies that it is going to be hard for the general public to believe it... to accept that one single plant and its extract, have such a profound effect, and one better than everything medical science can come up with. The world needs to undergo a big mind shift here... no easy matter.

The dose size the patient is taking at this point is outstanding! He is taking a higher dose then any patient that has used my oil at this point in the therapy. Whether it be due to tolerance or the patient's motivation, either way it is good news.
He has a concern that the source of the cancer in the lymph node may be from a mole on his face. So, I suggested that he put a dab of oil on that mole once a day and cover it with a band aid and see what happens. To do this for at least two weeks and see if it makes a difference. The doctors have not been able to track down the source of the cancer yet. They have tried and failed.
Here is a little update from the patient.
12/29/12
I feel confident enough to report a solid, significant piece of proof that my health has improved since beginning RSO treatment Just five days ago. I bought a new digital scale on the 23rd. It measures to the 10th of a pound. I tried it a few times when I got home, just to see that it would be consistent. It was. The morning of the 23rd I weighed 164.0 (naked for accuracy). I usually vary from 175 to 200, but had been losing weight quickly. I had not weighed less than 170 since before High School and I'm 54 (my birth date on this page is not accurate). Because my weight had been coming off so fast, I was eating cheesecake for breakfast, drinking 1,350 calorie protein shakes, eating huge steaks and potatoes smothered with butter, a big lunch, ice cream for dessert and the pounds kept falling.
I didn't give my weight readings much thought for the first couple of days, even though they were never below my benchmark. On the morning of the 27th I recorded a weight of 167.4. Yesterday and today my weight was exactly the same - 173.8. I did not think that I could put weight on so quickly. Simply amazing!
My sleep is still improving. No new symptoms. Old symptoms all gone, or reduced. Incredible for less than a week of treatment with any medication(s). I have faith in this, but realize that life offers no guarantees. I'm sure that my mental attitude has improved since I began my RSO treatments, but the physical changes are not all due to a better mood! There is more good news, but I want to wait until I have more solid evidence of progress.
I have a gram scale, so I decided to dose using that. I just increased from .25 grams to .30. Also shoveled a big driveway with an inch, or two, of snow. Felt good to get the fresh air and exercise. Didn't bring on any more buzz, or anxiety. Was actually calming.
Thanks to everyone joining me on this journey. I'll update the doctor fumbling soon. They are tripping over their own schedules and cancer is important enough to get after that they scheduled a dermatologist to look at my mole in a month from now! The radiation guy says that I won't see next Christmas without chemo and radiation, but what's a month?

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
These are wonderful times indeed.
They'll not get this cat back into the bag! :)
Just went for my PSA assay.
Should have some numbers in a week.
Not too worried because I stopped losing weight as soon as I started the oil.
Gained back my attitude, appetite, and 30 pounds in a month.
Have been homeostatic for the last 4 months. :D
Still have no symptoms attributable to PC.
And Glioma guy is doing very well indeed.
Another scan sometime in January will tell if he needs to go on maintenance dosage.
We do 435mg. capsules at bedtime and function quite well during the day.
I didn't think that was a high dosage and would double it had I the raw materials.
As it is, it takes all my harvest and I have to buy oil to supplement now and then.
(The Hawaiian law was written for smokers only)
Going back to coco coir and 10g. smartpots to up my yield per plant.
I have a suggestion for you.
Your posting here is great!
But for maximum impact, I suggest that you post it to Rick Simpson's Facebook page!

So, we feel fine ovah here.:cool:
Howzit with you all. :)

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Good advice Weeze, thank you.
I am already connected with Rick! LOL the patient has been posting on fb and I have been posting on a couple of forums and blogs that I have going.
my Hodgkin's Lymphoma patient may even get a page or two in Rick's next book too if we are lucky. They are interested in our story, he (Rick) and JB posted some of our correspondence on the Rick Simpson FB page. It was shocking at first actually. I had no idea they would do that. I was communicating with Rick before I even started treating the Hodgkin's Lymphoma patient.
I am so happy for your progress, it sounds to me like you will be cured real soon. You are on the right track for sure.
Good luck and God bless you on your journey to good health!

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
To respect the patient's privacy, and the people who are close to him, names are not being used. I thought I would share this tid bit with you all. A person who is very close to the patient recently made the following statement regarding the patient's condition.
Thank you all for this!!! I cannot believe the difference in ****'s attitude alone...I have known him 13 years and the weight loss was shocking. To have put back 10 lbs. in less than a week...I just know this treatment is going to work!!

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
I would like to mention that with my new cancer patient, this is the first patient who started the treatment with my quick frozen extract method oil.
There is a very big difference between the two. My first patient started off with oil made from material that was soaked in the solvent for days rather than minutes. The results will be quite different between the two oils. The frozen extract method (doesn't have to be frozen) is much easier to take and I believe it is much easier to build up a tolerance. At least at this point it appears that way. I don't know which method is more effective in fighting cancer. I have chosen to stick with the quick wash method because the patients are able to consume .5 gram dose much faster than with the long soak extraction method. I feel that this is important because the patient needs to get up to that size dose as soon as possible to be more effective in attacking the cancer cells. I am only guessing that the quick method is higher in THC and lower in CBD.
My new patient, in only one week has been able to get up to .5 gram dose three times per day. The two patients that started off with the long soak method oil, it took each of them six weeks before they could increase the dose size. I have high hopes that these changes that I have made in producing the oil will speed up the process of eliminating the cancer.
Also, the quick method, with high grade bud, tastes like ganja. Whether you are eating it or vaporizing it. I just tried vaping a sample of the same oil that was given to the new patient and it was very enjoyable.

I am a relatively new carer using RSO made with 99% isopropyl alcohol. I will make a more informative post later today. I look forward to sharing knowledge with you all.

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Sorry! I have been very busy! Infact I have never been busier..
Let me start by adding a little more to my initial post. I am about to start treating a couple of patients (do not ask where please!) with RSO. I will also be running a full dose on myself in the coming months and posting personal updates. I also hope to receive at some point, updates from individual patients regarding their improvements. The patients right now have a variety of ailments and will update more info on this later. Current batch is made from a white strain grown specifically for the oil by experienced growers. I do not have THC/CBD test results on the RSO yet but am hoping to have these within the week. I am new to the "home-style" lab test and need to practice a few times before being confident with my readings.
Recently, for the first time, I tried to make a topical oily cream by infusing RSO with organic normal hemp oil. About 1.5ml to 35ml. This is a test run with hope for later batches of fairly urgently required severe ulcer treatment.
Highly appreciate any help with the following: A few of my patients are urgently requesting medication withdrawal information, including some medicines which I am told are cannabinoid receptor blockers (such as the pharmaceutical Celebrex). Without being a "doctor" I assume this means that if taking RSO with Celebrex, the RSO will be rendered useless, but am urgently seeking guidance on this or contacts with answers to my questions? Some, if not the currently the majority, of my patients are currently taking in excess of 10 prescriptions, one or two are even on 15+.
This should give some good background information. I will try to upload a few pictures of current RSO soon and if anything ask. I am no expert but know a fair amount and when I have time I will try to look back through previous posts and add my $0.02.

I would venture a guess that most of us working with RSO are not medical doctors, so we would be the last people to ask about interaction and withdrawal information regarding traditional medications... may I suggest asking their medical doctors?
The two patients that I deal with were each able to discontinue their prescribed medications with no adverse effects. If someone came to me wanting to try RSO and was on something that was considered a cannabinoid blocker, I suspect my first reaction would be to tell them to stop taking it... but that might be harmful in your patient's cases. I doubt anyone here wants to take the risk of advising your patients to stop taking their meds, and you too have to watch your liabilities in this matter as you could get in a lot of trouble posting these sorts of things. I implore you to be cautious.

Thanks for your advice although my intention is simply to share the information I have with hope that this will aid others. Any use of my opinions is up to the reader.
Unfortunately in these cases asking the doctor is not a possibility but of course ideal. Questions have been asked to the right people who will know these specific answers and a response is pending. Update soon.

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
I do not have the details, like how much of each ingredient, but there is an oil that is made that tremendously helps as a topical oil. You infuse your own RSO into it. I have heard of many patients that have stated that it works wonders for arthritis, muscle pain, burns, minor lesions, etc. , even without being infused without RSO. The ingredients at one time were a secret. I found out what they are and would like to share them with you all.
Olive oil
Osha Root
Hemp seed oil
tincture of myrrh
oil of peppermint
oil of clary sage
oil of oregano
Also, I recently learned that a small dab of RSO in the nostril can help with sinus issues. I have a patient that has complained about his sinuses since I have known him and no OTC or home remedies ever helped. He tried a dab of RSO inside each nostril and within a few minutes, the nasal passages cleared and he was able to breath freely. I was dumbfounded. I know it doesn't seem like such a big deal, but to this patient it was.
My new cancer patient is still doing well. As soon as I get some more updates from him I will add the information to this thread.

Glad to hear your patient is going well. Please keep me updated. Nice job with the sinuses too.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I have been making the creams the way I know how, which are vaseline and organic hemp oil based and I then infuse the RSO. This has proved to be a great success and wont be changing it I doubt. It does sound worth experimenting with though IMO.
I will continue to add updates on information/patients when necessary and times allows. I will soon write up my personal experience with the RSO. I will be starting a 30-60g dose within a month and report my progress. I think this and similar threads should be stickied. This is highly valuable information to EVERYONE.

This offer was only available in compliance with the Michigan Medical Marihuana Program law. I will not accept any compensation whatsoever as I stated in the offer, not even a cup of coffee.
I nominated a three person committee to help in selecting the candidate to treat. Much to my surprise, we didn't have much luck with getting applicants. Deep down I knew that someone would qualify before my offer expired. I set an expiration date of Christmas Day 2012. I said, "It is in God's hands, the right person will come at the right time." and he did.
Just one week before the offer was to expire, I received an application. The candidate qualified to the conditions of the offer. The decision to treat this patient was made on Christmas eve. I met with the patient on this day, December 24, 2012, to fill out the required paperwork and get the treatment started. After taking care of the legal mumbo jumbo, the patient walked away with 30 grams of oil, half of the amount to be provided through my offer.
This patient has cancer in a lymph node in his neck in the throat area. The doctors were suggesting a very invasive surgery to remove the lump along with radical chemotherapy and radiation treatment, because of the type of cancer, and their inability to locate the source of the cancer. He has been diagnosed with Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma to lymph node. Squamous cell carcinoma is typically a skin cancer, it is rare, but not uncommon for it to develop in a lymph node. The patient has chosen my alternative treatment plan instead of taking the doctor's suggestion of surgery and the other stuff.
The oil for this patient was made on December 22, 2012 utilizing a new method of extraction. I am now doing a quick frozen extraction using 99% isopropyl alcohol. Pictured below, is the 30 grams that the patient received on Christmas Eve 2012.
Attachment 288729
I would like to share with you some of the information that the patient has provided regarding the beginning of his treatment, the beginning of his journey to becoming cancer free. I couldn't be more proud of the bravery of this patient to go against the advice of the doctors and take a chance with a natural alternative to modern medicine.
12/27/12
I finally have some time to write. What a wild ride since Christmas Eve! Trying to keep up with everything is a challenge. I have just taken my 10th dose and finished my first gram of oil. My dosage is now about 1/8 gram.
The first couple of days were spent waiting for some incredible buzz to hit any minute. It caused me to feel calm and mildly sedated, starting at a rice grain size and adding just a little at a time.
I had an appointment with the surgeon that removed part of a tonsil to biopsy one week prior yesterday, the 26th. Of course, I started to get a really nice buzz that morning. They expected the biopsy to be positive and the ??source? of the metastasized cancer cells found in my lymph node. If the results were positive, chemo and radiation was waiting for me, down the hall. I would need a way out. GiGi and a few others helped me to establish a game plan for any outcome. I have to buy time now. I am in treatment now, but not the one that they want and they can't know it.
The surgeon came into the room and said that ??This may sound like good news, but the tonsil biopsy was negative and we aren't sure where the cancer cells are coming from?. ??I'd like to..? I said ??Excuse me?. He said ??What?? I asked him if he had reviewed my family history. He said ??No?. I told him that my mother had passed away from melanoma 14 years ago and that had metastasized from a spot on her skin. I asked if an irregular shaped mole, without a smooth surface and scaling, near the neck mass, could be the source, even though it wasn't textbook. I haven't heard from the dermatologist yet.
The doctor then went back to where I interrupted. He said that he wanted to remove the lymph node. I told him that I recalled the radical procedure that he had described to do that. He said that h e wold like to do a ??less invasive? procedure ??that shouldn't? involve more than a small incision. He wanted to get as much of the node as he could for another biopsy. Since it is his job to know the size of the mass, I told him that I thought it was getting smaller and would he see what he thought. He agreed and said that it was ??strange?. I asked him if it would be easier to take out if it kept getting smaller. He said ??Yes.? and we agreed to meet in a couple of weeks, after the mole is addressed.
GiGi suggested to start treating the mole topically and hold off any biopsy on it until there are no more excuses. She's the boss!
The buzz is pleasant. I'll keep adding to my dose, but I'm getting to where taking the trash out is a project, instead of a chore. Actually doing it is easy. The preparation takes a while. Where is all the trash? What size bags will I need? Where do I keep those? How many? And, if the phone rings, you have to start all over, if you remember to. Multitasking is a thing of the past. Tasking is taxing. If I have to do business, or something is really important, I seem to be able to lose the buzz completely and have extremely clear, focused thinking and interaction. I would not feel safe to drive, but I could do it.
I have a long history of experimenting with most drugs. I have a tolerance to most. I always leaned toward the sedative side than the stimulant side. My experience with hallucinogens doesn't make me fear a little too much oil and I could never smoke too much good herb, or hash. I've done my share of drinking. I thought that I would tolerate the oil well and I expect to be on a full dose by next week, or the week after. I have not had an interest in smoking anything, or drinking alcohol, since I began taking RSO.
No matter what happens, this is what was meant to be. The doctors are lost now and I am getting treatment. I am getting better. If the mole is the source, maybe they will find a bunch of dead cancer cells in the biopsy. I wonder what they would say . . . if anything.
I have already started to gain a few pounds. My night sweats were gone the first night (I had been soaking one side of the bed and moving over, almost every night). I am sleeping much better, but not great. Still have some strange itching, but that is reduced significantly. I had been getting cold, with sweats. That has not happened since my first dose.
Thanks to everyone and I hope that I get more time to spend here. I just got the news on the 3rd of December and I have had a lot to do since then. A few more documents and some short trips should get the rest finished up. It's getting harder to absorb, the foggier things get!
To be continued....
Hello,
I just wanted to ask a question because I am desperate. My wife was told last week by her oncologist that she has stage 4 cancer that started from the pancreas and has now spread to the liver. We have done a lot of research and came to the final conclusion that alternative treatment is the route to go. We live in Georgia, and will like to travel to some state may be yours that permits non residents to get treatment with Hemp Oil.
Could you please enlighten me on the route to proceed. We are desperate to start treatment as soon as possible. Hoping to hear from any member with valuable info soon.

I am sorry to hear about your wife and am sure inter-state travelling to medicate with RSO should be ok but GrowGoddess will know better/more than me. I wish you the best of luck and if indeed your wife does try the RSO, please report back and let us know how she is getting on.
I would like to know whether NON-US people/patients may travel to California, Colorado, Michigan etc and successfully obtain treatment? It would sure be a wasted journey unless treatment were virtually guaranteed? I have read stories of EU citizens travelling to California and receiving RSO treatment so it must be possible in some shape or form. Any USA insight would be greatly appreciated? What would one need to do to make this work? This would definitely be an option for a few of my patients if they could be treated legally in the USA.

I will do my best to help you.
I always stay within the law. Michigan can only help you if you live in that state and are registered in the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program.
The only other option that I can think of is Colorado. I do not know for sure, just what I have been told. As long as you are over 21 you can walk into a dispensary in Colorado and purchase what you need. I heard this when a person like you asked where to get oil and they did not live in Colorado. The operator of PhoenixTears of Colorado said that people can purchase marijuana products legally in Colorado. One item she specifically mentioned was Rick Simpson Oil (RSO).
One of the problems is finding quality oil. I have heard that the prices range from $50 to $100 per gram.
You would probably be best off contacting Janet Sweeny of PhoenixTears, she can be found on FaceBook.
Here is a little good news. I have heard of many people getting cured of pancreatic cancer, even in stage 4. The cancer spreading to the liver could be a good thing in regards to taking RSO (concentrated cannabis oil). RSO is processed through the body differently than smoking it. When the RSO is taken orally, it is processed through the liver, so the RSO would be getting right to the cancer in the liver. I have also heard of the RSO curing people with liver cancer.
Contact Janet Sweeny for more information about Colorado and your options there.
Good luck and God bless

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Great information GrowGoddess!
Little update on making the creams. Normally I heat the organic hemp oil or vaseline prior to adding the RSO as it tends to infuse better. I ran a test the last few days with around 30ml organic hemp oil and put in 1.5ml of RSO. I did NOT add any heat this time. I cannot be exactly certain but it took 2-4 days for the RSO to be totally infused into the oil. A highly medicinal topical oitment created that easily! One patient will soon be using a RSO cream to help relieve and aesthetically heal a large surgery scar plus am hoping to start treating the patient with severe ulcers with a cream asap.
My next target is to try to blend RSO with an E45 or similar simple dermatological cream. Anyone have experience?

A reliable source informs me that infusing RSO into E45 or similar is not practical.
Use white or yellow vaseline or organic hemp seed oil!
Ill try get some pictures of current RSO I have up later today although finding a camera maybe a little difficult.

My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil
Dear growgoddess, can you please help me! Yesterday my husband was diagnosed with a stage 4 prostate cancer and was given 5-6 months to live without the traditional method treatment. I saw how you make your experimented oil and was truly impressed with it. Can you help me find someone who can provide me with the best quality oil. We can travel or do whatever it takes as long as the oil is genuine. Please respond ASAP. Yesterday I also send you an email on your hotmail address. Thank you so much.
