This is such good news. I hope our friend, Roger, benefits by this in the future.

...I hope this bodes well, and becomes a lead domino in making other deadly disease bricks topple.....
There is a lot of excitement about this here. BTW, Roger is still in hospital. They gave him chemo. Did you hear of chemo being used now to treat MS? Roger says he is one of the first to have it done there. He looks so sick. He is learning to walk again. Fingers crossed for him.
My mom has used chemo drugs to treat her MS on two different occasions, and on the whole they did her good. Docs use a lower dose than they use to treat cancer, and they can only do it a couple of times in a lifetime. She's allergic to all other MS drugs, so it was something. Unfortunately, they can't do it again (at least with the drugs currently available).
With this new research, there is hope for severe sufferers of MS. It almost killed Roger. So very scary. Give your mom a big hug for me. MS patients struggle so.

I'm the last person to jump into taking a pill when something natural is a better fit. I don't even like taking ibuprofen, and if I do I'm in a lot of pain. But I know enough to listen to my doc (with a lot of experience and years of trust) when he tells me I need something stronger. There are no magic bullets in the medical field or anywhere else. And a thought pattern that runs that way is untrustworthy at best and dangerous at worst.
I've watched someone that I love very much struggle with a horrible, complex condition for nearly a quarter of a century, and the intimation that there is one simple thing that would magically make everything better 'if she would just try it' is insulting as hell, both to a woman who has tried everything legal (and a few not so legal) and to the medical team that has taken care of her for decades.
And with that, I'm done.
Peace out.
With all due respect, Lepp, just stop. Cannabis oil is not a miracle drug. THE is useful for pain management in MS, but it does not do a thing for the central breakdown of the myelin sheath. That is a physiological change that does not reverse. Sometimes people need pharmacological, commercial medicine, and no amount of oils, crystals, diet, or meditation are going to change that. Those people should not be made to feel that they aren't 'doing it right' or 'doing enough' if they listen to the people who have training in the medical field.

I realize that my comment was brief and therefore open to interpretation, but I did not say that Cannabis Oil is some miracle drug that would magically make everything all better. I suggest it for consideration because I have personally spoken to people that have seen much greater improvements with alternative methods of treatment they they ever got with traditional medicine alone.
I did not in any way imply that they're "not doing it right" if they don't use it. Nor did I even hint at the notion that they shouldn't take full advantage of pharmacological, commercial medicine, or anything else that works. I certainly never said anything about crystals or meditation. This isn't new age spiritualism. It's a chemical compound that's been proven countless times to provide either an outright cure or a vastly improved quality of life. I don't bandy about this subject lightly. I suggest its consideration because I've seen it help, and I care about anybody that's suffering.
I understand that this is a difficult and highly personal issue for you, and I respect you a great deal. So, for that reason, I won't be replying on this thread again. I ask only that you do not put words in my mouth. Thank you.
