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(Do not quote me on this ,it's just my understanding of what I've read and tried.)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.

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

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

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,

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.
