I live in CA and have been researching cannabis treatments for a while and really got after it over the past few days. ILooked into this company. http://constancetherapeutics.com
It is pretty expensive, but very professional.
I tried to find an oncologist in my system (Molina MediCal) and there were none. I expanded to 100 miles, and nothing. I did get hooked up with an advocate who is going to find something. But that might means weeks and I could do a cannibustreatment in the meantime.
Anyone know some oil recipes? Companies that are less money (CBD is okay, but I really prefer whole plant) or even recommend some?

(3,569 posts)The treatment is very expensive and I CAN do my own and probably just as well. Gotta round up the ingredients.i should be having some by the weekend. I looked up the most famous method, Rick Simpson oil, but he extracts with solvents. Dangerous in many ways. So I found another olive oil method. Again, whole plant but I may try to make some CBD oil too if I can get the CBD trim or buds.

(3,569 posts)So going whole plant, olive oil applied by eye dropper. Probably no pure CBD treatment. Olive oil extraction. It will be thin and require a good dose everyday. But it will apply directly, so that will have a stronger impact than via bloodstream only.
I got a vape too, finally. I wish I bought a pax the first time i bought a vape. The thing is perfect. No screwing, magnets and the hit is delicious. I sure with I had the 1000 bucks I spent on pieces of shit vapes instead.

(3,569 posts)My plan denied my treatment that I had two weeks ago. I have to challenge, four different ways. Then tracking down the pathology and making sure my doctors had it was a challenge that took 3 days longer than it should have. Still no oncologist but now I know how it goes thanks to myGI doctor. Now I need a CAT scan then oncology.going tobe a hard slog.
I hope I can get aCATscanthis week. It is getting harder to data's the tumor rgrows.
