My Experience with Rick Simpson Oil

[emilya]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 â??sourceâ?� 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 â??This may sound like good news, but the tonsil biopsy was negative and we aren't sure where the cancer cells are coming fromâ?�. â??I'd like to..â?� I said â??Excuse meâ?�. He said â??What?â?� I asked him if he had reviewed my family history. He said â??Noâ?�. 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 â??less invasiveâ?� procedure â??that shouldn'tâ?� 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 â??strangeâ?�. I asked him if it would be easier to take out if it kept getting smaller. He said â??Yes.â?� 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!

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

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.

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.
