I'm glad you all found the info useful. Sorry I've been bouncing around alot lately. Big things happening in the industry! So, when dealing with a terminal disease, especially cancer, I will 100% of time advise a patient to begin immediate Cannabis treatment, cease all chemo/radiation treatment along with complete lifestyle changes. People like myself and other natural healers have seen the devastation caused by the cancer treatment industry. I'll be blunt. It's all money game, the more customers or "patients" the more money. The companies producing these drugs don't care about you, they care about their bottom line and that's the bottom line. Your Doctors were trained by the allopathic medical system specifically tailored by very influential people from the turn of the century to discredit natural medicine and push their form of medicine which almost solely relies on surgery and pharmaceuticals. These doctors all benefit financially by prescribing these drugs and over diagnosing cancer. Just look at the breast cancer industry and damage being done by mammograms and unnecessary surgeries. Less than 30 Medical Colleges in the US teach what equals to even the basics of nutrition. The American medical system and pharmaceutical industries are not interested in curing diseases. Their business model relies on treating symptoms and creating life long customers. I'd be happy to go on a detailed rant explaining just how the corruption happened and how it flourishes today. Just ask... Here are some google words if you want to dig down that rabbit hole but I warn you, once you learn these things, it cannot be unlearned or turned off: Rockefeller pharmaceutical. Rockefeller LG Farben. Flexner report AMA. Rockefeller UN/WHO. Codex aliementaris. Rockefeller/Rothchild pharmaceutical. FDA Monsanto. FDA Rockefeller. Monsanto Pfizer. CDC MERCK.
Now in terms of what treatment to use, RG you seem to be worried more about purity than POTENCY, which are 2 completely different things. First, Co2 extracts are fantastic for smokeable/vapables for their flavor and lack of harmful solvents. I use them when creating edibles that showcase the terpenes and flavonoids of a given strain. However it has been proven over and over again that Co2 leaves behind many of the important compounds that we/I as an oil maker feel are needed to complete the synergy of the plant. Bio molecules like chlorophyll are very important because they oxygenate the blood. That is why all the top oil makers include large green fan leaves in our processing. Not only that but Cannabis is the single most nutritious vegetable on the planet. Extracting all of those waxes, plant salts, Vitamins, Omega 3,6,9s along with all the known amino acids which are most important to the human body, those that our body cannot synthesize on their own, is vital to potency and digestion of the oil. In terms is color and viscosity, the most effective oil processed for curing cancer should be a dark black smooth shimmering substance with the consistency of a BBQ glaze.
There are 3 main factors to consider when preparing oil for treatment. First and most important is BIOAVAILABILTY. Co2 oil on it's own has very poor bioavailablity. Cannabis glandular material is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb. Even though it has been stripped from the inert plant matter, the potency is still not easily absorbed by the body; it bounces off cellular
walls, and continues down your tract going 'in one end, and right out the other,' without absorption. Even if it has been activated, and even when it
is in the form of a sticky filtered concentrate, such as Co2 extract, BHO, or "RSO". It needs a 'vehicle' such as oil, glycerin, or even alcohol, which drastically improves cellular permeability, in order to provide you with the most absorption and the strongest sensations. What isn't absorbed is literally wasted through digestion. Missing out on the potency delivered by the portal vein and valuable metabolization in the liver which converts THC to the much more powerful and therapeutic 11-Hydroxy-THC. Most oils only have 10% or less bioavailabilty. This is where liposomal encapsulation comes in. This creates a coating around the glandular material and allows for much better cell permeability.
Second most important factor is proper decarboxilation 'activation'. A single strain, is NOT limited to providing only a 'single type' of experience when it is eaten, like it generally provides when it is smoked. In fact, it is a little known fact that you can achieve a RANGE of effects and results, depending how well you 'activate' your material, and depending how bioavailable your oil is. Some patients might benefit from 'cold' carboxylic acid intact cannabinoid concentrate. While others might need a concentrate that has allowed certain cannabinoids to degrade (oxidize) into CBN through prolonged periods of heat for a far more narcotic pain killing quality with added sleep aid. I produce oil for opiate addicts to detox cold turkey with that is so over processed and degraded that it basically skips cerebral heady "highs" and knocks them out within 40-50 minutes. Allowing them to sleep through the worst parts of the experience.
3rd and most important to myself is using 100% FOOD GRADE solvents and materials. Also using Lecithin is vital in the encapsulation process while being incredibly beneficial to the body's dietary needs. Pure grain alcohol such as Everclear is the preferred solvent for processing oil by all the trusted healers with the most successful track records. I actually use 100% pure distilled grain alcohol (moonshine) from a trusted source for my processing. We choose the edible solvents we do, not only because they are effective at breaking down cannabis glandular material, but because they help our bodies absorb it. The specific oil source that you choose, even directly dictates where in the body, your oil is absorbed.... this is why the quality of oil matters, as well. Unless you know for a fact that your liver does not function properly, and that it consistently over-metabolizes both food and medications, you should start with medium-chain containing oils such as coconut oil and palm kernel oil, or to a lesser extend, clarified butter. With lab testing becoming more common, we are discovering more and more, that even the best purging methods do not provide results that are as complete, or as clean, as we first assumed. For it to be a truly medical-grade product, you do not want traces of the harmful byproducts produced by non-food-grade solvents, to remain in your medicine.
For my oil that is meant for oral or anal (suppository) ingestion, I usually process ice hash first from fresh/frozen full plant material which is then dried and decarboxilated (unless making carboxyl INTACT). It is then washed with the heated solvent (time depending on desired usage), strained and then emulsified using liposomal encapsulation through the inclusion of several high MCT oils (coconut, avocado, castor) Lecithin, as well as various stages of freezing-thawing-heating and repeating. By using this method this you get rid of any water soluble chemicals or impurities while having the most control of your end product with the highest level of bioavailability. This oil is then placed in gelatin capsules, usually size 00. Or blended with beeswax or Cocoa butter for suppositories. IMHO, this is the single most effective method of treatment for most diseases on our planet including most types of cancer. Breast cancer is tricky because THC can cause certain types to grow. That is when high ratios of CBD are needed. Most of my patients use a combination of several different strength oils/tinctures and methods of ingestion.
The fact is, MANY in our industry are grossly uninformed and rely on technology and not science and nutrition. Many just want to get people stoned. Some of the most "educated" folks think because this way works for some its best for all and that simply is not the case. Every single person responds differently to Cannabis so trial and error is almost an essential part of treatment. There is no one size cures all. My passion is creating patient specific medications based on a variety of factors and there are not many people doing this. The people I have studied under are considered to be some of the most qualified healers in the industry. I'm not in the business of getting people stoned any more. I just want to heal and save lives. To do that means to never stop learning, reading and listening as well as trial and error.
Last thing to keep in mind is just what Cannabis does to our system and why it cures disease. At its very essence, Cannabis brings our bodies back into homeostasis allowing our body to do it's job. When Cannabis cures cancer, its not exactly the Cannabis killing the cancer, like chemotherapy which attacks healthy cells as well. It actually TELLING our body's to do it's job and where to do it. Ingestion of these exogenous (external) cannabinoids activates our body's natural receptors. Which in tern allows our immune system to produce Endogenous (internal) cannabinoids like anandamide and 2-AG. This causes cancer cells to produce ceramide which starves the mitochondria of the cell causing it's death or apoptosis. The best analogy for cannabinoids is little walkie talkies. When you ingest them, they spread throughout the body from various parts of your brain, to the immune system, vital organs and most blood cells. The walkie talkies create a full body network of communication which allows your immune system to now recognize these problems cure and them the way we have evolved.
I could keep going but that should be enough for now. People who die from cancer usually don't follow directions. They continue to eat sugars that feed their cancer. Continue to eat carcinogenic animal products and not follow a strict VEGAN/RAW FOOD DIET! Drink alcohol and continue poisoning their bodies with Chemo/Radiation. Remember, people can live for years and years with cancer but it will eventually kill you. Chemo and radiation will kill you much faster and come with almost guaranteed recurrence. Chemotherapy has been proven to cause Leukemia. With any new cancer diagnosis it is important to try alternative treatments FIRST before switching to more invasive poisons. In my experience I haven't met a single patient who opted to use Cannabis oil as first treatment for cancer while also making appropriate lifestyle changes and it NOT cure them. However, the majority of folks seeking Cannabis oil treatment have already had their organs and immune system destroyed by these poisons. Many have had pieces of them removed including their lymph nodes. It is extremely difficult to reveres these affects and cure yourself after this has happened. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. PUT NATURE FIRST
