Trying something new...

[Amore55]

I read an article about how hemp oil can help prevent demyelination of nerves, so I ordered some. I know, I'm probably a sucker, but I will try it. I got gel caps, oil, and coconut sticks. I'll be curious to see what happens. It is also good for your skin and has other benefits, so it can't be bad. Curious if anyone else has tried this. It is not marijuana! Totally different things. Thanks. Kelly

I have a friend whose wife uses it on her arthritic hands. I'm considering get some kind of cream to massage into my feet and see if it helps.. Will post when that happens

[Amore55 in reply to CalfeeChick]

Lynn, I will do some homework for you and see if there is some cream where I got the oil, okay? Be in touch soon. Kelly

Lynn, so I went back on amazon and typed in arthritis hemp lotion and got some good info. There are quite a few. There is one called Vita Scents Soothing Lavender for pain relief,one is Iris Hemp Pain Balm, and there were more. I know that I am supposed to ingest the oil I got, but I rubbed just a small bit a the small of my back, always hurts, and it helped! So I will be ordering one of the lotions on amazon. Hope that helped. Kelly

That's new to me. I have to do some research on that.

I guess that's why Marijuana is so beneficial.

I have recently started a mainly plant based diet. I have found that there are lots of food products with hemp. Please keep us posted about how you feel it is working.

Hello Kelly, I have tried hemp oil, I bought a 24 OZ bottle on Amazon. It says on the bottle 7.0g Omega-6LA, 2.5g Omega-3ALA, 2.0g Omega-9, 500mg Omega-6GLA, 250mg Omega-3SDA per Table spoon. It says on the bottle that it is a super food and it should not be cooked with. I make salad dressing with it. The oil has a very fine feel and is organic and cold pressed and has a different almost a green nut taste to it. So far no one in my family has complained about the taste. I read a similar article that it is suppose to help with MS symptoms. I to might be a sucker, as they say there is one born every minute. I have used it for awhile and have not noticed any difference but it took me 30 years to notice I had MS, so I may not be the best judge. Good Luck, I do hope it help you. Norman

Norman, I was going to try a salad dressing too. I noticed the nutty taste. We can be suckers together, but it is worth a try! Great to hear from you. How long have you been diagnosed? What kind of meds do you take? Kelly

Blue-Bird Botanicals has the highest potency/strictest control standards. The stuff on Amazon may contain a very low percentage of CBD (the active ingredient in Hemp Oil.) For ingesting use empty capsules. I have put CBD oil on a mole and covered it with a bandaid once a day and the mole dried up and fell off. I felt a tingling where the oil was (only on the suspicious mole just a dot of refrigerated oil). It fell off within a few days. I didn't have to have it biopsied and it is still gone 2 years later. Of course your results may vary!!

If you are in a state with medical you want Rick Simpson Oil. Take at bedtime for the best sleep you've had in years.

We need to end the stigma associated with taking oil, and demand research to determine the best kind for MS.

[Amore55 in reply to TracyBelle]

Tracy, that is amazing about the mole! My husband has some skin tags, I wonder if it would work on those? I'm so glad to hear from you. I live in Utah and every year there is a bill to legalize marijuana,but it never passes, even though the majority of people want it. I agree that we need more research. Stay in touch. Kelly

[TracyBelle]

Like I said this was using legal CBD oil, available online and legal in every state (since it has no THC) And of course your experience might vary.

[REDLIPS44]

this does not have the THC so you won't get High from it. Good for pain and anxiety so is the CBD oil.
