Gogglewig - I think you will up your tolerance again- I was very sleepy at first - even on maitenance, but you get used to it fairly quickly
It's quite possible, as the guy I was getting it from grew both indica and sativa. He's on vacation at the moment so I'll have to ask him when he returns. On a happier note, it's been 2 weeks now since I stopped the RSO and any anxiety or panic attacks I was experiencing have pretty much disappeared. No more violent outburst. My head is coming around to what I use to consider normal and everyday seems to get better. I went to Michigan for a New Years Eve party and had the time of my life. This was only the 3rd time in 1 1/2 years that I was pain-free for an entire day, and everyday since then has been pretty good too. I was also experiencing severe gas and kidney pain for the past couple of months and finally figured out I was poisoning myself with too much potassium I was taking in the way of 10 drops of Lugol's Iodine daily. I quit taking that about the same time I quit the RSO and gas & kidney pain has been reduced about 90%. I've got another scan coming up in a week or so and hope the healing trend continues. I'll post results here when I get them but for now I'm just drying out so I can pass a physical/drug test and hope to get back to work before the end of February so I don't lose my job. Maintenance doses will still be taken and from what I've read here it's just one gram a month. If any of that has changed I hope someone will chime in. Thanks again to all here who have helped me make it this far.Quote:

Is any particular size of syringe a bit 'easier' to push the plunger in? Sort of worried I may not be able to push oil out, it is thicker than Penicillin and that stuff (the VD bomb) can be a big challenge to push out (with a big needle-though)..with healthy hands. [/QUOTE]
Painretreat, I found that putting the syringe under hot water in the kitchen sink for a few minutes made the RSO flow like warm butter. After getting the dose I needed I'd retract the plunger a bit and draw some air into the syringe, this kept pressure off the contents and that way the next time it went under the hot water I didn't have to worry about it flowing out of the syringe once it warmed up. Hope it works for you.

:thumbsup:@Ken: thank you!
:thumbsup:@giggles...do you know if your ca was hormone(estrogen) induced? I presume not or I think they would have 'insisted' you take the 'blocking' drugs??
The length of time you were given chemo is the clue to age and/or aggressiveness of the cancer. You are a bit young to have your dose's spread out over that much time. With age, they will lower each dose and spread the 'total' dose of chemo out over a longer period of time. Or with an aggressive cancer the dose is increased and only so much can be given each time, therefore extending the length of treatment. Assuming U have no other health issues?Quote:

The hormone blocking medications are extremely annoying and many stop them due to the side-effects, anyway (I would refuse them as well). Glad you aren't on any.
Hope to read of your healthy progress for decades to come! :rasta: pr
Estrogen-Induced Cancer
Painretreat - My cancer was triple positive, meaning estrogen was one of the things feeding it. The doctor WAS very insistent that I take the hormone blockers, and I debated and went round and round for a LONG time. But a voice inside me said not to take it, that it would further weaken my already bad spine and leave me sexless for the remainder of my life (and who the hell wants that??). One of the reasons I had chemo so long was to treat for the other positives that fed it. But I'm going for quality of life, not quantity. Who wants to be ill for 20 years at the end of their life if they have a choice? I'm done with doctors dictating to me that I have to take pharmaceuticals. (and I could go off on a rant about my experiences, but I won't) ;)
Anyway... the RSO will surely help abate my fears. I feel I will be doing something positive to help me rather than waiting for that dratted shoe. I'll have to try it out to find the right dosage for me, and if I can grow enough to support the dosage I think I need. Plus having some to vape for those trying times when I'd ordinarily reach for my anxiety meds.
Thanks for everyone's help and caring. Maybe some day I'll be able to move to a legal state and help others like the GrowGoddess does.
Hi Vacko,
My sister is taking high cdb cannabis oil, has stage IV breast cancer. Shes not quite up to a gram a day yet, even though it is low THC, it is really hard on her. It leaves her unable to drive, to really leave the house much, just low low energy. She-s been taking the oil for about 6 weeks more or less. Her latest CA 27 29 tumor marker test came back really elevated, it jumped from the mid 700s to just over 1000 in one month. Her markers had been stable at around 700 for several months, so we are worried. We are wondering, and hoping that the elevated markers are from cancer cell die off, and that it is working.
I was reading your post from 2012 about your wifes markers also going up. I searched further in the forum and didn't find any further updates on her treatment. In the subsequent months did her markers continue to rise, did they begin to go down as she continued with the oil? Im really interested in hearing any further updates, if you dont mind sharing. There is very little out here online that Ive found about stage 4 breast cancer patients taking the oil, what they experience, how their cancer reacts. We are really worried and looking for shared experiences.
thank you
Victoria

You might try a google search for that user name on other boards.
Or not, just did, came up dry. :(
It might be Croatian, but I found no direct translation to English.
Sorry,
Weeze
Hi Boogies, I really feel your fear, try reading this lady's story.

I have mentioned on this thread about vaporizing RSO by converting it to an e-cannabis oil by simply infusing the RSO with PG USP. I have been very focused on that for about 7 months now. Unfortunately when it comes to vaporizing the cleaner the oil, the better. It can be far more expensive, very easy to consume large amounts. It is not like eating the oil. It is more like vaporizing buds but 100 times better. Not necessarily stronger, but better, healthier and in my opinion more tasty as long as the oil is very clean. I finally found the exact vaporizer rig that fully meets my needs. I am fully satisfied. By no means would I suggest for someone to use the vaporizer instead of eating the oil. I do believe it is a more medicinal way to use cannabis vs. smoking. I am not a fan of vaping buds, I don't care for it. All I use now is concentrates.
Anyway, the absolute best vaporizing rig in my opinion is the silver SVD with the new iClear 30b clearomizer attachment. The iClear 30b is bottom fed. As long as you hold the unit sideways and store it sideways, you can tip it up occasionally and all, but keeping it sideways will help prevent leakage to the battery. Now that I have been using mine sideways, I have had zero leakage to the battery. The heating coils are replaceable for around $3 each and they last at least twice as long as the average top fed coils.
Here are a couple of picture of it.
Attachment 297951Attachment 297950
It is filled with RSO that I extracted with 99% isopropyl. After the oil was done, I diluted it with 190 Everclear, winterized it, then after it was done I infused the oil with PG USP. I tried it out in the iClear 30b and I believe it is the whoop! I truly consider the SVD with an iClear 30b with premium quality oil to be hospital quality. You can purchase all of this with a case for as low as $97. Also, you can use BHO or QWISO, non-decarbed oils work just as well. Kind of like comparing sativa to indica on the effects.
Just thought I'd share.
