After reading and re-reading this thread, I'm gonna take the jump and make some RSO. Some of it I want to use in my e-cig. But I was wondering about taking a maintenance dose daily ad infinitum.

I had breast cancer 2-1/2 years ago and went through the whole surgery, chemo and radiation thing. Had to do chemo for 1 year and 3 mos. It was hell and I never want to do it again. I'm not sure I have recovered from it yet or ever will. I had stage 3 cancer and it got into my lymph nodes, so there is always the worry it will come back to haunt me in some other organ/system. Do you think a maintenance dose daily would help in preventing this? I know it couldn't hurt, but is a maintenance dose (1 rice grain sized or more at night) enough to make a difference? I am also curious what other help it may provide me with my other medical problems. Just smoking has helped a lot with my back pain, depression, neuralgia, anxiety and IBS. I've been able to stop taking 2 narcotic pain relievers, my sleep aid and my anxiety medication (all of which were making me an addicted zombie) and my head is so much clearer. Just wanted to know a little more about maintenance dosing since I haven't seen it discussed much. Thanks always for your wisdom and help!
Taking a maintenance dose might work; One year of chemo though...must have been an extremely aggressive cancer, Stage 3 or you are somewhat aging? Regardless, with all the poison of chemo etc...I'd lean more toward trying to 're-set' your body to something closer to normal by taking a curative dose to start with~~if you can manage to get enough buds and make that much oil? *edit*; my thinking is chemo isn't a 'sure' cure and hopefully the oil will target the cells that are 'infected' with the 'potential' threat.

Certainly a maintenance dose is better than nothing.

Dosing: 1cc = 1gram?? is that the formula everyone is using?
:thumbsup:
@kwilal; thank you for the descriptive post of your regime... I'll engage some help with my bills and responsibilities while on the extreme dose. And making the full amount of oil prior to starting its use.

@Weezard: Which size gelatin capsules are those in the post pictures last July?

If you store your rso in syringes and have no "cap" for it, what are you using instead? :rasta:

I easily found a coffee warmer at the local thrift store for $2.00 and see the craft stores have the same thing for candle warmers. Anyone using a candle warmer?:jointsmile: pr
