first let me say I am sorry for your loss, wether he was a close friend or just a patient, no one should have to go through what he went through. second have any of you heard of juicing? i saw you started to feed him kale drinks which is amazing but there is so much more to it. cannabis oil and raw food diets are nearly one in the same when it comes to 'magical' healing properties. Fat Sick and Nearly Dead | a Joe Cross Film is a great video (free on netflix i believe). also, i was going to suggest a physic medicine called Effexor. I am no doctor or even a nurse, but let me tell you, i went from having panic attacks from one puff to smoking up to 3 grams of chronic a day, and if i had the chance i would have gone higher. now the question is 'would effexor have been safe in this man's particular situation?' i have no idea...but we won't ever know effexor is an antidepressant medication, which did wonders but like all big pharm meds, it had it's down falls. withdrawals are TERRIBLE, i had no appetite (which is one reason i turned to cannabis), and it seemed to make me feel more depressed. I am off effexor now and my tolerance dropped, despite my transition to RSO (i learned how to make it myself in attempt to treat myself and possibly help others). my jaw is clenching my stomach is a mess, cannabis is making my body very anxious again, a minor side effect but one that i think might be to some use. what if your patient was able to safely go on effexor, and up his cannabis dose at the same time? here's the kicker, my girlfriend, a registered physc nurse, tells me that effexor RAISES YOUR TOLERENCE TO CANNABIS. am i not proof of this? I hope this helps someone... and again I am sorry for everyone who i am not able to help in time...with great power comes great responsibility :/ i wish i could help everyone... positive thoughts my friend
