CBD Oil effective for pain

[GreatMamy]

I want to alert everyone to CBD oil which is very effective for pain management. CBD oil is legal in all 50 states! CBD is cannabidiol oil, one of many components of cannabis.

CBD oil is anti-inflammatory, all natural and has almost no THC, the hallucinogenic compound of marijuana. It has NO SIDE EFFECTS. Anecdotal reports show it is a pain suppressant, appetite stimulant, sleep enhancer and more.

I'm new here and wrote about medical marijuana a couple of days ago. I think it has a great future in cancer management and hope it can be made legal soon in my home state of Texas.

In the meantime--unless you live in California where marijuana cancer treatments are effective and legal--use CBD. It has been nearly miraculous for me! I have been living with breast cancer since 1994, have bone mets and am currently on Ibrance/Faslodex/Xgeva which are quickly losing their effectiveness.

What brand oil do you buy. Will a dr. Give a perscription for it?

[GreatMamy in reply to mariootsi]

You just buy it on the internet or in a shop. No Doctor prescription. i don't know the rules on this site regarding naming brands... I buy from cwhemp.com. It's up to you to decide which product strength or dosage. Through trial and error you get to the Goldilocks dose... I hope it helps you. Good luck!

I buy the CBD oil called

care by design. It has no additives it’s made from the CBD oil and a little coconut oil. Quite effective

Great information

[SeattleMom]

Thanks for great info! How long have you been MBC?

[GreatMamy in reply to SeattleMom]

Around 10 years.

[SeattleMom in reply to GreatMamy]

I was diagnosed with BC in 2000; diagnosed with MBC a year ago. My mets are in my spine. I had 10 rounds of radiation at outset, followed by Ibrance/Letrozole combo and monthly injection of Xgeva, which was changed to every 3 months following last injection. How long have you been taking the I/L combo and why do you think it has begun to be ineffective? Linda

Hi,

I have read about in-lab studies stating that one of those components of marijuana have killed breast cancer cells in mice. I asked my dr about it. Unfortunately due to it being marijuana it will be hard for studies to be approved on humans.

My doctor doesn’t believe that it does any good. I’ve tried it and I’m not sure if it work, I think it really depends on the brand. I’ll try the company you recommend. The only one that worked for me was an oil I bought at my accupuncture office and I stopped using it because it had a grapefruit warning which could interact with Ibrance.

Thanks for the info!

[U2Rocks in reply to lynzer]

That’s my concern, the grapefruit warning. I need to be careful and make sure what I buy is ok

Need to buy ONLY CBD with terpenes! The other stuff is junk and not effective. One tiny drop is enough if you have strongest dosage made

[GreatMamy in reply to blms]

I wish I only had to take a few drops but I agree the manufacturers constantly improve and concentrate their product. Right now, they're building their clientele, the profits must be huge...

[blms in reply to GreatMamy]

If you are taking CBD without terpenes, it is a waste of money. Check it out.

[GreatMamy in reply to blms]

I just checked. Charlotte's Web CBD oil products contain terpenes.

[Annieandme in reply to mjmom]

Are there terpenes in it? Someone mentioned if it doesn’t have terpenes in it then it’s a waste of money

If my memory serves me right, there is a great story about the family that created that WBsite. Sophia is the cutest little girl. I just cried watching the story on netflix.😀 i hope i am right.

I am discovering this wonder too: my research indicates that the readily available version from hemp is about 3.5% concentration though many find it effective. That from marijuana that is legal only in some states and requires obtaining certification for Med Mar. card, is a much higher 20% concentration. Said to help depression, anxiety and pain among other troubles.

[GreatMamy in reply to Kakoburr]

I suppose the CBD approved for medical use (i.e.: epilepsy) must be way more concentrated.

[blms in reply to GreatMamy]

I bought mine while on a trip to Vegas st a dispensary. I had no idea what to expect. They had several strengths available and I bought the strongest. Cost me a bit less than $100 a bottle. Before that I tried one from

My specialty naturopathic pharmacy with zero success. I want to see if I can have this mailed to me.

[Kakoburr]

Yes likely the 20%

[blms]

Yes, the issue is finding it!! It is not the CBD online or in your specialty pharmacy. But, you also you do not have to have a medical marijuana license. But, you may have to buy it at a full-service cannabis store. It is legal, even in this form, in every state.

[mariootsi]

What brand do you buy and where

[GreatMamy in reply to mariootsi]

cwhemp.com original formula although mine is only 43mg and this now shows 50mg per 1ml. They've recently changed their packaging and apparently, their formulation.

[mariootsi in reply to GreatMamy]

Thanks for the information. Good to know about a good brand. There are so many advertised you really don't know which one to buy except by word of mouth.

I am in Canada and my oncologist has referred me to a clinic so I can get the correct cbd oil, etc for the symptoms I have. He believes in using it for the symptoms but not as a cure. There are many different oils and they are all not equal.

[GreatMamy in reply to Hidden]

Sarcie,

You are in luck in Canada as you have access to healthline.com/health/rick-... which contains THC. In California, they even include it in their cancer treatment protocol. Yes, CBD oil only targets symptoms (there are no existing double-blind studies to support its classification as a drug) and is marketed for "comfort" as it is not FDA approved as a drug and should not replace cancer treatment if appropriate and available. Yes, oil concentration, production quality control and batch reliability are all questionable... That's why it's important to shop around and compare. And price should not be the main consideration. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I hope and pray that we are reaching a crossroad and will soon all have access to natural remedies not controlled by big pharma.

[TnQuilter]

These are also the 3 drugs I'm on in addition to Xarelto (blood thinner). So you've had no negative drug interactions with the CDB oil?

[GreatMamy in reply to TnQuilter]

None that I can point to. I'm two weeks in taking collagen every day with no report on that count.

Best luck to you.
