Some people believe suppositories may get cannabis oil into your bloodstream better than orally taking the oil. To make a batch of cannabis oil suppositories you would want to start with 100 grams of cocoa butter for every 1-2 grams of cannabis oil. (YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO GET COCOA BUTTER) First you will need to melt your cocoa butter. This can be easily done by putting the cocoa butter in a stainless container and use a gentle heating device like a candle warmer to melt it.  Next add your cannabis oil to the melted cocoa butter while on the heating device. Stir the melted cocoa butter/cannabis oil mixture together so that the oil is evenly mixed throughout. Next you pour the warm mixture into suppository molds that can be purchased online.  Let them cool at room temperature. You want to start with 1-2 grams of cannabis oil per 100 grams of cocoa butter. This is a good starting point so the suppositories are not too strong. You can then increase the cannabis oil according to how much the patient needs or can tolerate. You will work towards being able to take as much oil per suppository as you would take orally.  Cannabis oil suppositories can be used when the cancer is in the lower part of the body like the bowel, prostate or anus.  Getting the oil as close to the cancer as possible is a great idea.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10025-markdown","title":"Looking for the best CBD (non-psychoactive) oil I can buy, for medical issues.

Looking at the current literature for cluster HA treatment, I would say the tincture drops you are using can be used as soon as HA symptoms start.  As for dosage, I go by the old adage \"less is more.\";  try using tincture drops and adding them SL (sublingual--> under the tongue) or try adding them to non-caffeinated chamomile tea (it might taste better).  Titrate until effect;  that is slowly add more tincture drops until you have achieved a blood level where symptoms are managed but don't go over this amount.  This \"titration point\" will differ with every individual based on body weight , tolerance/ exposure to cannabinoids, and other factors.  I would advise using cann every single day as tolerance/ risk of psych dependency &/or abuse can also happen.  You might also want to talk to your MD about oxygen therapy for the home or trying a safe blood pressure medicine also used for cluster HA's called verapamil for prophylaxis.  I hope this helps!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10005-markdown","title":"I have chronic arthitis; the dispensary near me has only lotion; is it as effective as the oil?","slug":"i-have-chronic-arthitis-the-dispensary-near-me-has-only-lotion-is-it-as-effective-as-the-oil","content":"\n_____________________\nI assume you mean the topical oil and not the one you ingest?  Every patient is different so I encourage you to try the lotion and give it a decent trial (longer than just a week).  Another tip:  I've been telling patients to pre-heat the area for 10 minutes then apply the topical (be it lotion or oil).  I also tell pts to continue doing other modalties for arthritis treatment: keep the jt moving/ exercise,   try interdispersing cold packs for any jt inflammation, and try omega-3 supplements 2-3000mg/ day (based on papers I've read coming out of arthritis treatment in Europe).  The topical lotions have definitely helped many pts but I've also met pts where it hasn't been as helpful so that is why we give it a trial.

Are you really asking for a cannabis oil to treat breast cancer that has reoccurred? \nYou can treat the symptoms with cannabis oil but I do not encourage you to treat cancer with Cannabis because there's no proof other than anecdotal stories (and that is not proof, only someone else's story) that cannabis may work.\nI have 45 licensed years experience doing integrated medicine and I do think many people have been led down the wrong road to believe that cannabis will cure their cancer but unfortunately I have watched too many of those people go on to suffer bad consequences.\nPlease, find an oncologist you can trust and fight the cancer with known Western medical treatments while supporting yourself with Cannabis for the symptoms.  \nWith current medical treatments for breast cancer there is a high rate of recovery or at least long remissions buying you time for a potential cure. You can never let down your guard when you have breast cancer because it can return as much is 30 years later.\nIf you have fear over further surgical and chemotherapy treatments, you must face your fears and walk-through them, do the treatments and hold intentions to survive. \nI had a tremendous fear of chemotherapy and it made my treatment much worse, so I had to have a talk with myself to change my attitude and my chemotherapy from that point on was very easy and I feel I will live a long healthy life as long as I do regular follow-up visits and of course I'm doing my cannabis daily because I also believe in this medication and feel it helped save my life.\nConsider picking up your phone and finding that new oncologist today, your life may depend on it. You are allowed to decide who is not right to see you and keep moving on until you find the right person. I have fired several doctors because they didn't listen to me or they did not honor what I had to say about myself and my wishes in the time of turmoil. There are good and caring doctors out there that are waiting to see you.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nWhat can I use for menopause systems after Estrogen driven breast cancer?\n\nNot what to use to prevent cancer\n\nseadog1","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10001-markdown","title":"Should I stop using cannabis oil if it's making my pain worse?","slug":"should-i-stop-using-cannabis-oil-if-its-making-my-pain-worse","content":"\"I have breast cancer and have pain in my leg as a result.

Many people find that a balanced mix of THC:CBD is helpful for pain control, so you could talk over some options with your dispensary regarding what ratio of THC:CBD might work best for you.  You could also consider trying a topical cannabis product on your leg to see if it helps.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9989-markdown","title":"treating estrogen positive breast cancer with CBD","slug":"treating-estrogen-positive-breast-cancer-with-cbd","content":"\"I'm interested in using the purest form of CBD oil to treat estrogen positive breast cancer. I would like to know what the best way is to use CBD oil for this purpose; what dosage, how often and for how long? Also, how much should I begin with and what brands are the purest and most effective?\"\n_____________________\nI'm so sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with cancer-- I hope that your medical team has been able to help you work through the treatment options.  Cannabis can be used for cancer therapy in a couple different ways.  First, patients find cannabis can help with pain from the cancer itself, or from  side effects of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy such as nausea, pain, or sleeplessness.  Second, often patients also wonder if cannabis can help with treating the cancer itself, i.e. killing cancer cells, and your question seems to be more related to this aspect.  Preliminary animal and lab studies indicate that cannabinoids such as CBD can assist your body in inducing cancer cell death and limiting their ability to spread/grow.  Here is one article you could start with: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3579246/  The exact dose is difficult to translate to humans, but it is likely hundreds of milligrams a day.  Fortunately, oral doses of up to 700 mg a day are well-tolerated.  CBD is available in many forms, but for these higher doses most people find they would take it orally as opposed to inhalation for instance.  Some studies suggest that CBD and THC can work synergistically (meaning that treatment is more effective when used together than either one alone), so incorporating THC is likely to augment the CBD effects if that is something you want to consider.  As far as a specific brand, look for products that are lab-tested and make the testing results available to you so that you can verify the potency and safety.\n\ndrbultman\n_____________________\n My mother was diagnosed in May of 2013 with stage 4 Cancer.She was given 3 to 6 months to live,not because of spreading but because of the location of the tumor, it is abutting the aorta. she is 53 and also has MS.I succeeded in saving her life by getting Rick Simpson Oil from this guy in California.You can contact him if interested in getting some Oil:Email... tplug05 at gmail dot com  Or Phone.....+1(559)420-0769 . \n\nalison leton","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9981-markdown","title":"Oil for ovarian cyst","slug":"oil-for-ovarian-cyst","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9980-markdown","title":"Can cannabis oil be used to treat an ovarian cyst?","slug":"can-cannabis-oil-be-used-to-treat-an-ovarian-cyst","content":"**Can cannabis oil be used to treat an ovarian cyst?**\n\nPeggy J.\n_____________________\n\nWow, I have so many questions regarding your cyst because these can be very dangerous! Please consider using the high CBD vape oil and the topical CBD-dominant salve and you may even want to add an oral dose of CBD at bedtime. Most of the high CBD cannabis comes from one of three plants: AC/DC, [Harlequin](https://hellomd.com/strains/harlequin) & [Cannatonic](https://hellomd.com/strains/cannatonic), so if you look for one of these three, you should be safe in that you're getting a high CBD.\n\nCBD basically helps you be well and the THC makes you happy and high so the combination of the two is perfect. I think that's why I love AC/DC. It also helps to take a larger dose of CBD at bedtime and you will sleep well, waking refreshed.\n\nYou need to be well and you need to follow that ovarian cyst very closely because women do get ovarian cancer. One out of 75 women is diagnosed with ovarian cancer and it is a very deadly disease unless it is diagnosed early, before the cyst has broken open or spread.\n\nThere is a new study out that shows the CBDs do delay the growth of cancers and they tend to keep the cancer confined.\n\nI'm certain you don't have cancer or they would've already removed your ovary. In order to heal the ovary completely, you must eliminate all sugar and high carbohydrate foods in your diet as well as the stress that causes you to recycle your estrogens.\n\nPlease follow up closely with your doctor because an ovarian cyst must be monitored closely until resolved and in the meantime you can use CBD to add a degree of protection. You may use THC also but you can use CBD when you can't be high. Please remember to always burn your CBD at a low temperature if you are vaporizing.\n\nIf you ever have brain chatter when you're trying to sleep, you can always add a spray of 18:1 CBD under your tongue to quiet your mind.\n\nDr Olson\n\n--------------------------\nOn the question of cancer and cannabis, it’s also a good idea to check out the [video on our YouTube channel]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZn6KwWwRvQ), where HelloMD Chief Medical Officer Dr. Perry Solomon interviews Mara Gordon, founder of [Aunt Zelda's](https://auntzeldas.org/), talking about their marijuana products designed specifically for cancer patients, as well as their research initiatives.\n\nAunt Zelda’s is a pioneering, data-driven developer of cannabis-based, dosage-controlled plant medicines, relying on years of research and development by founders Mara Gordon and Stewart Smith, in consultation with knowledgeable physicians and world-renowned researchers.\n\nAs far as [ovarian cysts](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ovarian-cysts/symptoms-causes/syc-20353405), women need to take them seriously and have regular pelvic exams. While they are often harmless, some can become cancerous and pose a greater threat of doing so as you get older. Women who have finished menopause with ovarian cysts have a higher risk for ovarian cancer. \n\n[Some research shows](https://hellomd.com/articles/study-finds-96-of-cancer-patients-improved-with-cannabis) that cannabis can help patients with their cancer symptoms, including insomnia, pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea, and weakness. And it also showed that cannabis could help wean patients off opioids in dealing with the pain.\n\nNurse Paula","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.342281879194631,"src":"/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/2906b/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.png","srcSet":"/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/69585/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.png 200w,\n/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/497c6/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.png 400w,\n/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/2906b/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.png 638w","srcWebp":"/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/4c0b3/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/61e93/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.webp 200w,\n/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/1f5c5/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.webp 400w,\n/static/7c1ede8ee78838096c11de990e15acdc/4c0b3/08bd1f54310a72613dc1b924441df2a1.webp 638w","sizes":"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9950-markdown","title":"I started using CBD oil for chronic pain.

Most of the time a combination of CBD with THC has been found to be most effective. The entourage effect of both of the cannabinoids working together seems to give the best relief. The CBD alone may help with inflammation but adding some THC and slowly increasing the amount to get the desired pain relief would be the best way to go. There are different ratios of CBD:THC that are available either as a tincture or vape cartridge that can help with pain. Some are marketed and label specifically for chronic pain but you need start with a low amount and again, slowly increase since everyone reacts differently.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nHave you ever felt sick to your stomach after taking CBD oil? \n\n\n\namanda0115","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9918-markdown","title":"Can cannabis cure staphylococcus aureus?","slug":"can-cannabis-cure-staphylococcus-aureus","content":"\"Hi,my name is Diana and I'm new to the website.
