I would assume that the costs involved with printing detailed strain information for each batch are quite cost prohibitive and while there are a select few individuals who would actually be able understand and use the extra information, the majority of the general public seems to only be concerned with overall THC and CBD content. I agree that it would be nice to see a sativa or indica only product from Kiva as there are definitely differences in the way they can be used.\n\nvickidoesdabs\n_____________________\nWe employ several methods of extraction to concentrate the actives found in the cannabis plant.  While we are particularly interested in THC and CBD, we do analyze for the total cannabinoid and terpene profile of our hash and oils.  While THC & CBD are not monographed per USP/FDA standards, they are the most studied with data to support their therapeutic affects.  While there is data in the ethos that speaks to the therapeutic affect of the other cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, we do not have reputable data to support reporting any levels that would guide our patients as to their affects.\n\nlonnette","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6668-markdown","title":"My husband is taking THC for brain cancer and is vomiting and nauseous lately.

However, he has become very nauseous recently and has thrown up the last dosages I have given him. Also, he does not have much of an appetite and has lost weight.  His brain tumor keeps him bedridden because that's how the tumor has affected his mobility and gait.  When he sits up in bed he gets nausea. Thus, instead of curing nausea and increasing his appetite something seems to be creating the opposite effect--more nausea and vomiting.  Do you believe it could be the medical marijuana?  I mix his primarily THC with CBD oil and sometimes add a CBD tincture with the THC.  Would you please advise?\"\n_____________________\nYour husband is taking THC pills? Marinol? I would switch to a whole plant extract with CBD and THC that also contains the other cannabinoids and terpenes found in cannabis. This should be more effective.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nSmoking or vaping cannabis can help with the immediate symptoms of nausea and vomiting. You can also put the oil on his gum and let it absorb through his mucous membranes. Obviously, this is a complex situation and there may not be one cause for his symptoms. YOu should also make sure the product you are giving him has been tested by a lab. CBD impacts the effect of the THC so you might try giving it independently. Again, inhalation can have an immediate impact on nausea.\n\ndneice\n_____________________\nUnfortunately in this population progression of disease can lead to these types of symptoms.  If you have not already done so, please contact your physician so that they can rule out acute issues such as hydrocephalus, acute bleed, increased edema, or rapid progression of disease.  Cannabis should assist with nausea and vomiting rather than exacerbate it.\n\nNP Joshua","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6659-markdown","title":"The amount of cannabis oil I ingested was not satisfactory in putting me to sleep.

Every individual has a different tolerance to cannabis. It is always advised to start low and work your way up to a dosage where you begin to notice the effects. Then you can dial in the right amount for your personal situation. My guess is that you may want to increase your tincture dose in small increments and see if you notice a difference. I want to reiterate, that you should do this in small amounts to avoid taking too much and having an unpleasant experience.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nCBD tends to ameliorate the effect of THC, so taking such a high CBD/THC ratio is probably the reason it isn't working. Try a high TCH/low CBD ratio product. Or, find a product that has CBN in it, which is a degraded form of THC and what really puts you to sleep.\n\ndneice","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6639-markdown","title":"Do you plan to do a low dose product like the Terra Bites that features a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC?","slug":"do-you-plan-to-do-a-low-dose-product-like-the-terra-bites-that-features-a-1-1-ratio-of-cbd-to-thc","content":"\"I am a huge fan of the 5mg Terra Bites and take them before bed.

We have received overwhelming support for the new Kiva CBD products, and you're certainly not the first to ask about a CBD terra! While we currently are working on some new, innovative micro dose THC products, we are always aiming to provide what our patients are looking for! In the mean time, I would suggest picking up one of our 1:1 CBD/THC bars. For lower dosing, we have a 60MG dark chocolate espresso bar that has 60MG of THC as well as 60MG of whole plant, cannabis derived CBD. The full size bar comes with 4, 15MG squares. How many terra bites are you taking? An easy way to break down the CBD bar to match your Terra consumption; each square is 3, 5MG servings. The flavor is similar to our terra bite espresso beans, but is smooth, rich dark chocolate. We also have a 120/120MG dark chocolate ginger bar available as well!

THC is known to speed up ones metabolism, despite the increase in appetite that one has to combat while medicated. At this time, we do not have any stronger Kiva products in our plans, but rather are interested in raising awareness about micro-dosing and helping patients find relief with an incremental approach.\n\nmari","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6636-markdown","title":"could a high from marijuana lead to lifelong brain damage and stupidity ?","slug":"could-a-high-from-marijuana-lead-to-lifelong-brain-damage-and-stupidity","content":"\"hi.i;ve been smokin marijuana for over a year. not like smoking every day but... le's say here n then once a month - a week ? maybe. i may've smoked about 20-30 times at max probablity. so i smoked a joint after 4 clear weeks of not-smokin anything.then i smoked half a joint 4 days ago with my friend.and got really high.and it kinda went away the day after and i started to feel normal. but then i smoked another joint last night and i;d forgot that THC was already in my system, anyway i smoked the joint and got unbelievably high and i was alone this time so i freaked out and everything got paranoiac !? i slept for like 12 hours and when i woke up i was still feeling disconnected.i am still feeling disconnected. it's been around 12 hours since i woke up. it;s not like a normal high . i jsut feel disconnecte from reality and it never happened before and i.m really scared .i don't know what to do . i just try to keep myself together . idon't know if i'm gonna be like this forever or not. please help. and also i had a pill of Loratadin (antihistamine) for my allergy . idont know if it has anything to do with the effects of weed . i think i'm gonna be stupid for ever . or i'm just really scared\"\n_____________________\nHi,\n\nThere are many reports out there that either support the claim that marijuana adversely affects the brain or doesn't. First, clinical research must be licensed through the DEA and approved by the FDA. Unfortunately, the FDA classifies marijuana as a schedule 1 drug. \n\nAdditionally, it is important to regard your own intuition. For people who have a higher level of anxiety or prone to panic attacks marijuana can aggravate your symptoms. I have also experienced increased anxiety at times when I consume too much THC. Through trial and error, I decided to medicate in small amounts and do something that doesn't overwhelm me like listening to music or watching a movie.  \n\n\"Marijuana impairs light users’ attention and concentration but doesn’t appear to affect regular or heavy users within six hours of smoking or ingesting it. In the long run, researchers have found that after 3 weeks or more since last using marijuana, subjects’ attention and concentration return to normal.\" - (published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine)\n\nYou haven't gone mad after all...Cheers!\n\nTo understand scientifically how marijuana affects your brain I recommend that you watch this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeF6rFN9org\n\nadriennekiva","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6631-markdown","title":"Does KIVA plan to educate consumers with details that go beyond the very basic THC to CBD ratios per product?","slug":"does-kiva-plan-to-educate-consumers-with-details-that-go-beyond-the-very-basic-thc-to-cbd-ratios-per-product","content":"\"Current research points to the synergy between specific cannabis strains and particular ailments due to their inherent cannabinoid and terpene profiles.

I'm new to this and have a low tolerance. I am looking for an edible that will help me sleep but won't make me high?\"\n_____________________\n\n![Satori chocolates can help you sleep.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_30_at_5_54_17_PM_bb6ab501ae.png)\n\nSatori makes delicious milk & dark chocolate edibles in several low dose options.  If you are not sensitive to chocolate or caffeine at bedtime, this could become your favorite nighttime treat.  A typical serving is about 5-10mg.  However, if you are new to edibles, start with a couple 1mg Satori organic milk chocolate raisins, or a 2mg Satori blueberry in dark chocolate.  Starting low and going slow is the best way to achieve your goal of a good night's sleep and avoid any undesired side effects.  140mg per box total.  Low in sugar, free of gluten, GMO and corn syrup.  Purchase Satori edibles at www.octaviawellness.com\n\nlauriel\n_____________________\nCBD has very little psychoactivity and therefore doesn't make you feel very high. I'd suggest trying a few high CBD edibles. A few examples - Om Edibles CBD sipping cacao, Oara CBD chocolates, Moonman's Mistress CBD cookies (paleo, gluten-free). \n\nIf you want no high at all, another option is to self-massage with a cannabis topical oil before bed - that can be extremely relaxing and help you fall asleep without any high feeling. \n\nMany people also find 1:1 THC:CBD tinctures to be extremely relaxing with only a minimal high - Moxie meds make a great 1:1. A few drops under your tongue before bed will have a very light psychoactive effect - likely you'll just feel calm and ready for bed.\n\namanda\n_____________________\nWe have clients who enjoy the GummiCares Indica (Blue Package) gummie.  However, we recommend starting small at 1/8th of a medallion which equals 8.1mg, versus the indicated dosage (they recommend 1/4 or 16.25 mg). \n\nWe also have loyal customers who sing the praises of Swerve Snooze Bars, but again, we recommend starting SLOW AND LOW.  Each bar is 50mg so we tell clients to divide it into 8/ths which would be a 6.25mg dose.\n\nAnd finally, our micro-dose go-to edible is Satori Raisins, which are 1 mg per raisin, and makes it easy to dose and causes a nice relaxing inner experience.\n\ncarrieoctavia\n_____________________\nMany of our clients (including my mom) have sensitivity to THC.  We recommend Absorb CBD as a good mind-relaxer, which leads many to a better sleep experience.  The taste is pleasant, containing high-quality ingredients including fractionated coconut oil and Buckhorn Oil with CBD CO2 extract.  \n\nWe recommend two sprays under the tongue 20 minutes before bedtime.\n\ncarrieoctavia\n_____________________\nFood is what nourishes the body and that should be considered in choosing edibles that are low in sugar and not containing ingredients that could cause inflammation in the body. It has been stated that eating a diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrate and eating irregularly can cause a reaction in the body that triggers the “fight or flight” part of the nervous system, causing wakefulness.\n\nlizrudner\n_____________________\nHere is my answer for a Sensi Chew question. I still believe they are the best insomnia edible: Sensi chew \"Insomnia\" of course! It even has melatonin in each dose. The pieces are a strong 25 mg, so you may need to break them into smaller doses if you do not have much of a tolerance for edibles. Be careful about the taste as well.. I love tootsie rolls type candies and Sensi chews are absolutely delicious! Don't eat too many like I did. I ate about half the bar and Slept for 14 hours.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nGreat question! First of all, thank you for using our products. It's possible that you are not taking an optimal amount to treat your insomnia. You might want to try a 10  - 12MG THC dose and see if you have the same issue. If you are still waking up in the night, then the second approach would be trying an indica-only edible. Kiva's products have both sativa and indica strains in them, so it's possible that if you have a sensitivity to sativa strains, which can be stimulating you at night. There are some wonderful companies out there doing tinctures, capsules, and other products specifically formulated for sleeping. You could try combining one of those products with a topical or transdermal patch directly applied to your spine for pain relief. Budtenders will help you to zero in on some good options to try. We hope this helps and good luck treating your insomnia!\n\nchristiestrong\n_____________________\nI am sorry to hear about your continuing pain. Treating chronic pain is always a challenge and can take some time to adjust dosages of any medication, cannabis included, to obtain the desired effect. As you know Kiva produces many different concentrations of THC in their bars. Trying a stronger dosage is one option since it might also decrease your reliance on opioids. Another is to try a different manufacturer such as SensiChew that has a product that contains CBD as well as melatonin that can help aid in sleep as well as help pain.\nSome people find that using a vaporizer in the middle in the night works if they do wake up. Using a Indica flower might help at that time such as Granddaddy Purple or Tahoe OG Kush.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\nHi! \n\nIn one study, increasing the dose of THC also increased the amount of time spent sleeping.\nHowever, higher doses of THC also caused a “hang over” feeling in some subjects when they woke up, while the feeling was not present at lower doses.\n\nI also have a lower tolerance for edibles and I take KIVA bars in different dosages according to the results that I want to achieve. For daytime, I take a 5mg dosage to remain productive and energized. For bedtime, I take double my minimum dosage which is 10mg or max 15mg. \nI encourage you to increase your dosage in small amounts until you find the perfect amount for you. \n\nA common side effect to Oxycontin is sleeplessness. I applaud you for taking the necessary steps towards kicking the pain killers. You got this!\n\nCousens, K. & DiMascio, A.

Personally, I need a minimum of about 60mg to get a full night's rest and no other form of consuming cannabis get's me the rest I need like edibles. If I were in your situation I would just titrate my dose until I found I was sleeping through the night, so I would increase my dose from 7mg to 14mg and try the 14mg for at least three night, if you're still not sleeping as you'd like move up to 21mg, etc. Once you find out where you need to be with your dose then you can adjust your buying based on the lowest amount you need. I also only use edibles for before bed, for whatever reason I feel like if I snack on them during the day I don't have as good of a result as when I save them for an hour before bed. Just personal experience, hope you find pain relief and a good night's rest soon!\n\nvickidoesdabs\n_____________________\nAs I understand it, your body has all sorts of receptors that receive messages from compounds that enter your body. When these receptors receive certain compounds it causes reactions in your body that do things from causing happiness to letting you now that you need to go to the bathroom. Your body is also always trying to go back to homeostasis, or its \"normal\" state. \n\nWhen you add new compounds into the mix, your body tries to bring you back to where it was for generic survival reasons, regardless if what you are doing is helping or hurting you. If you smoke a bit of flower, you will feel the edibles less later on in the day, because your body has now recognized that the cannabis is a new substance so the more you use it, the more your body will try to make you feel like normal. This is especially apparent in the cognitive effects of cannabis, and much much less so in its pain relieving and anti-anxiety effect. This is generally because of the complex relationship between serotonin, your brain, and cannabis.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nHi there! Cannabis is definitely a great way to ease body pain and insomnia! Check out some our articles that discuss some of our favorite products for treating insomnia and chronic pain: \n\nThe 10 Best Marijuana Strains for Insomnia\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/the-10-best-marijuana-strains-for-insomnia\n\nTop Marijuana Products to Help with Insomnia\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/top-marijuana-products-to-help-with-insomnia\n\nBest Edibles for Insomnia \nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/580fa51fb3a976000a79e243/top-4-cannabis-edibles-to-help-treat-insomnia\n\nCannabis Strains for Different Kinds of Pain \nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-strains-for-different-kinds-of-pain\n\nVeronicaB\n_____________________\nIf you are suffering with severe insomnia and anxiety, it sounds like your using too much THC. Anxiety is a disease that must be treated adequately throughout the day in order to help sleep at night so low doses of CBD (8:1) throughout the day maybe indicated to calm any anxiety or stress that may be building up. After work you may want to go to a 4:1, CBD: THC (This could make you tipsy so please don't drive)And then about an hour before you want to go to bed, or a little earlier if you like, you can move into a 1:1, CBD: THC to help you go to sleep. If you do suffer with brain chatter you may want to keep a higher CBD tincture (like nonalcoholic 18:1) in your refrigerator and get out of bed and take a dose of CBD's under your tongue to help quiet your mind so you can sleep. Good sleep hygiene should also be followed. I would love to hear how this works for you after you have tried this for approximately two weeks. If this doesn't work for you you may have to address what is causing your anxiety.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nYes, you are able to obtain a good nights sleep without the psychoactive effects. \nDo you stress throughout the day?  If you do stress throughout the day you have to learn how to quit stressing and that is achieved by staying in present moment and using CBD.\nI do not know what dosage will work for you to put you to sleep but when I want to go to sleep I often times will take approximately 3 mL of 28:1, CBD dominant tincture and I'm typically asleep within an hour.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nThere are many opinions about insomnia because everyone is different and the cannabis affects everyone differently so be aware that what I suggest usually works but it typically will not work for everyone. We do offer a great chat room with lots of opinions. \nI recommend that you get your CBD and THC at a high 1:1 level and you will sleep. Too many people do high THC and I think that keeps a party in your head all night and when that happens it is an indication you need more CBDs to shut the party down. If in addition you have aches and pains be sure you treat those problem areas with the CBD dominant topical salve and you will sleep well. You may rest better if you keep a vape pen of 1:1, CBD:THC next to your bed in case you wake in the night, 1-2 puffs will likely put you to sleep.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nMany patients dealing with insomnia have reported positive results when taking medications with both CBD and THC. You might try adding a CBD-rich product in conjunction with your Kiva bar. If you want to try something new, Moxie Meds Relief 1:1 tincture which is balanced CBD and THC, it's easy to administer one drop at a time so you can easily adjust your dose and contains no sugar. If you want even less THC Moxie Meds also provides Recovery 4:1, which is 4 parts CBD and 1 part THC. Patients with conditions related to anxiety and inflammation report a great deal of support with the 4:1 ratio. Wishing you a good night's rest!\n\nnadia\n_____________________\nI have trouble falling asleep, but once I'm out I'm out until the morning, so my issue isn't quite similar to yours. Have you tried the Sleep vape from HMBLDT? I personally dislike the flavor of it, but it does do the trick. Vaping will work quicker than an edible. \n\nMy current fave is a gummy from Valhalla. I do get a bit high from it, and the munchies, if I take it too early... but if I eat it, then brush my teeth, wash my face etc. by the time I'm in bed, it kicks in. It gives me that \"sink into bed exhausted\" feeling, in a good way, like after a day of physical work where you feel like you could just melt into the mattress. \n\nAlso trying out sublingual mints and a few other brands, but so far, the Valhalla has been my fave. http://www.valhallaconfections.com/\n\nThe gummy is quite big, and 10mg, so you could experiment with a smaller dose by eating half. \n\nAnd you've probably done everything else for sleep hygiene – eating meals that promote sleep, have a nice mattress, so you don't wake up due to physical discomfort etc.?\n\nlilli\n_____________________\nIt's hard to give the right answer as to what is the \"best\" edible as everyone reacts differently to cannabis. What we do know is that one of the most popular reasons people try cannabis is for its potential to ease insomnia, whether that is to get to sleep or to stay asleep through the night.\n\nOne of the reasons edibles are often chosen is that they are long lasting. A typical edible will last for up to 4-6 hours. Many people will take an edible a couple of hours prior to bedtime, so they start to get sleepy as their bedtime approaches. For me, I do not have trouble falling asleep, rather I often wake up at 2am, so I take an edible right as I go to sleep so that it starts to take effect at around midnight and will get me past 2am.\n\nI also have a very low tolerance for THC. For instance, 5mg is my maximum dosage for THC and my sweet spot is between 2-3mg. If I take more than 5mg I will go to sleep but I will wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall back to sleep. \n\nIn terms of products available in CA, my favorite edibles that help me to fall asleep are the Kiva Petra Mints, Kikoko's 'Sympa-Tea' which is high in CBD and low in THC, and Satori's chocolate covered strawberries. All of these are low in THC and easily dosed. I always suggest trying a low dose first and working up to the dose that may be your sweet spot.\n\nI would also suggest that you try some CBD edible products. Some people sleep very well with CBD. I hope this post helps, these are my opinions \n\npamelahadfield","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.3245033112582782,"src":"/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/ee604/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.png","srcSet":"/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/69585/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.png 200w,\n/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/497c6/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.png 400w,\n/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/ee604/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.png 800w,\n/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/f3583/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.png 1200w","srcWebp":"/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/58556/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/61e93/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.webp 200w,\n/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/1f5c5/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.webp 400w,\n/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/58556/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.webp 800w,\n/static/a2e7b97416cc9241865dfa8133f30b7c/99238/da5833677169a8bf9fed3cdafe897352.webp 1200w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6599-markdown","title":"What is the difference between CBD & THC, and what should a new edible consumer look for?","slug":"what-is-the-difference-between-cbd-thc-and-what-should-a-new-edible-consumer-look-for","content":"\n_____________________\nThis is a great question. CBD and THC are both the two most well known cannabinoids within the cannabis plant. They are at varying % within different strains. So for instance, you may have a strain that has 1% CBD and 19% THC. This is important because it has an effect on how you will ultimately feel.\n\nCBD is non psychoactive and is both an analgesic as well as an anti inflammatory. Many people report that they feel very relaxed and can even become a bit sleepy taking a lot of CBD. CBD also works in synergy with THC which is called the entourage effect.\n\nTHC is the psychoactive, mind altering cannabinoid, which is why it is so well known. It also has medicinal properties and can help take pain away, induce an appetite among other things. \n\nA new edible consumer should be aware of what they are looking to treat. If for instance you are not looking to get high, you may want to find an edible that is primarily CBD either at a 1:1 ratio or a very high ratio or with no THC at all.\n\nMost edibles are very high in THC. A bar of chocolate may contain 180mg of THC in total and the suggested dosage may be 10mg. Everyone reacts differently, for me, I get very uncomfortable going past 5mg. A standard dose may be 10mg for some people and 20 for others. To give you a benchmark, 2.5 mg may effect you like a glass of wine, at 5mg most will feel some psychoactivity and at 10mg most people will feel stoned or near stoned. Everyone is different!\n\nWhen starting with edibles, always take a very small dose and wait 2 hours.  Here is an article I wrote on this topic. I hope this helps!\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/edibles-do-they-work-are-they-safe-avoiding-the-edi-saster\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6585-markdown","title":"Is medicine with low levels of THC and high levels of CBD ok to take during a tolerance break or CBD only?","slug":"is-medicine-with-low-levels-of-thc-and-high-levels-of-cbd-ok-to-take-during-a-tolerance-break-or-cbd-only","content":"\"There was some flower at a nearby dispensary that the budtender said would be perfectly fine to take during a tolerance break, it was 14.2% CBD and <2% THC, is the THC in this low enough or is no THC really the way to go during a t-break?\"\n_____________________\nIt would seem that a low THC high CBD strain would be helpful during your THC break. While the science and research on cannabis is still emerging, from my understanding, CBD works by increasing our own natural cannabinoid levels (endocannabinoids), and does not need to interact directly with the CB1 and CB2 receptors. THC does directly stimulate these and other receptors, and thus having a lower level of THC present should help to reset any tolerance that has developed.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6578-markdown","title":"I am still recovering from PD Catheter and hernia repair surgery...","slug":"i-am-still-recovering-from-pd-catheter-and-hernia-repair-surgery","content":"\"I have taken my CBD and THC, but have had long lasting effects.

If she does a tincture she most likely will not wanted in alcohol because it's too hot and may make indigestion worse. The most common reason for indigestion is calcium deficiency but do not take extra calcium supplements, eat greens in the diet. The reason people are calcium deficient is not from lack of calcium it is from lack of vitamin D. We are all vitamin D deficient in less you're taking significant supplementation. Vitamin D is not a vitamin it's a hormone and it is essential for your long-term health. Some families have a vitamin D receptor snap that makes them unable to bind the vitamin D so they have to be more consistent is taking a daily dose otherwise, vitamin D is fat-soluble and the person can take a weeks supply all at once with a meal that has fat in it. Many people with indigestion have been put on proton pump inhibitors but they are dangerous because they cause the person to become more nutritionally deficient when what that person really needs this most likely digestive enzymes to help the nutrition not hinder the nutrition.\nIn addition, as we get older we can develop a diaphragmatic hernia, also called a hiatal hernia and if it bubbles up through the diaphragm it gives tremendous indigestion that can be cured in a matter of minutes by pulling the stomach back down under the diaphragm. She may need to see a good osteopathic physician or chiropractor to teach her how to pull the stomach down and it will give immediate relief.\nDo not drink liquids with your meals because it overfills the stomach with liquid, diluting the digestive enzymes and more likely to cause hiatal hernia problems.\nTry these things, if she still has problems she may want to contact me because I have a lot of secrets up my sleeve from 45 years of clinical experience doing nutritional medicine with patients. She may want to obtain her genetic chart to see if she has a vitamin D receptor problem.\nLots of things to do to correct this problem but it is correctable without drugs and surgery almost always but that is not what will be presented to you by the doctors employed by your insurance company. Good luck and be determined to get to the underlying cause. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that is well assimilated and also helps to correct B12 deficiency that can result from Western medications and the lack of stomach acid.\n\nI look forward to hearing how your mother responds to this treatment.\n\ndrolson","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":204,"numPages":25,"currentPage":18,"id":5834,"name":"Thc","slug":"thc","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
