CANCER! Fight it with THC/CBD oil!!

[GregWeld]

Okay folks -- here we go!

This thread is going to be about my personal battle with a tumor on my liver and what I've done to improve my quality of life -- and deal with this "****" -- because that's what it is!!


I do not want this to turn into a story about everyone's cancer - and the USUAL things that Medicine recommends! Hell no! This is about ALTERNATIVE non invasive - no chemo - no radiation - no surgery - "INCURABLE CANCER". This is about when they find you have cancer and send you home to die!

Let's just get this statement out of the way..... #****CANCER


So with the next post I will begin with my story -- what I have done to HELP MYSELF -- the trials and tribulations of acquiring what I feel are life altering "meds" when living in a state that doesn't recognize THC (pot extract) as legal.


:::::::::::WARNING:::::::::::


I'm as FAR from a pot head as a human could get. I have not had alcohol or drugs in over 32 years!! I'm a complete advocate of AA and the program in general. If you expect to read about getting high and that sort of thing - stop reading now. You'll be bored out of your mind.

[raustinss]

If I may Greg ....a close friend, her father has a form of liver cancer and has what seems to be a similar attitude that you do ... they were suggested to looks into blue scorpion venom .. What is exactly does ? ..they had a naturopath hook them up with some Dr in Cuba who was able to get them some .
Trying to help


Oh btw Google f*+- cancer ....they sell cool hats and t shirts

What makes you a special person is your generosity in sharing the life lessons you have learned; whether it is, picking a fab shop, a fabrication technique, investment strategy or your current project of battling the lack of true help in dealing with diseases that aren't making people money.

You're good man Charley Brown.

In early May of this year (2016) I was diagnosed with a stage IV "biliary duct" cancer. This cancer is a tumor on the OUTSIDE of my liver and is not diagnosed until the cancer SYMPTOMS present. There is no early detection. There is no test. This is UNLIKE Colon cancer that is so simple to detect.... that NOBODY should ever get it!! You just simply go and get a regular colonoscopy and bingo..... if there's any issues going on or developing - they fix it before it goes crazy. Don't bother to get the regular colonoscopy ------- and when they do find the cancer - you're going to be in a battle for your life!

Now ---- No such exam exists for what I have. You have ZERO CLUE that you have anything wrong with you until the typical symptoms present. Fatigue! Coffee / Dark Tea colored urine! Funky (greyish) stool color.... Itchy skin (all over). Dude...... you come down with that combo and you've got ya some serious f'n health issues! And this all happens FAST!! I was fine and then BAM! I was sick as hell!

I had come home from running the car at Thunderhill..... and for a couple days after getting home I was fine.... then felt the fatigue.... like LAY DOWN ON THE SOFA fatigue. A lack of appetite doesn't help --- only helping to make you weaker....

I Googled my symptoms ---- and that went straight to you have a serious liver issue! WTF! I don't even drink! But these are all symptoms of Hepatitis - or some other liver condition. Nasty! Okay -- I'm thinking I picked up some Hep on the road trip! No biggie.... it's just bad food from some place I ate at...... This shouldn't be too bad. WRONG! A blood test confirms you have a high Bilirubin level (mine was in the 100's).... and are jaundiced (turning yellow). That starts in the whites of your eyes.

Next up is an ultra sound.

I told the guy ----- if you stop waving that little wand around ---- I'll know you found something. GUESS WHAT!?!?! They know EXACTLY what they're looking for and in 10 seconds I see the wand stop and he starts making measurements. BUDDY --- You know right then what the score is. You have a tumor and he's seeing just how big it is.

Okay -- I live in a small community. But we're from Seattle area. So we're going to Seattle and get some real docs on this mess pronto! Well --- pronto --- these days is a nightmare. Try getting in to see someone. Gwen was a real bulldog and got me in to see the guy that has done my Colonoscopies, we like him and trust him.

So first up is a MRCP --- this is an MRI that is looking for liver stuff --- the DOC needs this FIRST. If this "look" confirms what they suspect -- then the Doc will perform a ERCP. This is a scope that goes down the throat and stomach and can look at the biliary ducts of the liver. Sure enough the tumor has grown in to the ducts and is blocking them - which is why you're turning yellow and itching. Your body is backing up with poison.

Okay -- so with the ERCP (scope/tool) the Doc can slip some stents in the ducts and get them open and flowing again!! For me they could only get ONE working. The other duct is completely blocked. One is all I need. The first ERCP was exploratory with the aim to use a "temporary" stent -- in the event that the cancer/liver is "resectable" (meaning you could do surgery) -- but mine is too far gone so they did a second procedure and put more stents up further and they're of the "permanent" type. NO SURGERY IS GOING TO FIX ME.

HERE'S THE BUMMER!!!


First ERCP -- Doc says "you've probably got 18 months"....... second ERCP this is revised to "you've got 6 months". Now -- I'm just dealing with 18 months.... which sucks! But is totally "doable" in your mind. You have time to get all your **** together -- say nice things to your loved ones -- sell stuff in an orderly manor. Guys.... I have LOTS of stuff!!! And we're not just talking about cars. We have business interests. Properties. Deals half done. But 18 months you can get all that squared away. When they come back and shorten this to 6 months ---- you just melt. This is just so emotionally draining (and not just to you) it's almost impossible to deal with. Okay -- 6 friggin months AND YOU FEEL LIKE ****!!!!! UGH!!!

[GregWeld]

Luckily for me I have children.... and one of these is what I would call a true "pot head". I hate the SMELL. I hate the thought of being "high". Why would someone PAY to be messed up like that? I don't get it.....

Having said all that! It saved my life so far!!!


The kids are in the hospital room telling me that I have to start taking CBD oil and THC oil (Rick Simpson Oil) right away -- and as good fortune would have it -- one of Alex's best buddies from like 4th grade (they're 29 now!) works at a "grower". They know all about this "cure" and what I'll need to do and how to get the stuff and on and on.

I KNOW NOTHING!! I've not seen pot in 20 years! LOL


Please watch some videos on RICK SIMPSON OIL and CBD Oil !!! There's just a ton of information about this on the internet. You may even find your Doctor to be very helpful. It never hurts to discuss it!!



************************ TREATMENT *****************************



Ri
I totally understand why the medical industry is NOT interested in this "therapy".

You are going to need approximately 90 DAYS in which you will be out of your mind stoned (I'll explain because this is critical!)..... you're sick as hell.... you're weak.... you have cancer..... you have no appetite..... you may (I did) have some very terrible "things" going on inside you (and coming out of you!).

What did you expect? Your guts are rotten! There's something in there that's got a life of it's own and it's living off yours!

Rick Simpson Oil is THC and it must be of the DECARBOXYLATED kind (that's an extra step that makes it a BETTER CANCER FIGHTER). THC is the part of "pot" that makes you high when smoked. We are NOT SMOKING THC. This is an oil form - comes in a dose-able syringe.... is like pine tar.... is black when concentrated - and turns to green when thinned or spread out.

You are going to need to WORK UP TO taking at least one full syringe (1 gram or 10 ML) per day of this AND a highly concentrated form of CBD oil. This is to be taken on a 1 for 1 ratio.

When I say you're going to need to WORK UP TO this dose I mean it!! This stuff is potent to say the least! And you're going to work up to taking a dose that would put an elephant down!! Oh yeah --- Oh yeah --- Oh yeah........ you better f'n believe it!!

[GregWeld]

If you're reading this and this post is relatively new -------- PLEASE CHECK BACK AND RE-READ or SKIM the first posts for corrections or something I may have left off and went back and edited!!!






GOD DAMN IT ---- THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH BATTLE !!! Do a little work for gods sake and help yourself!!!





If this was a car issue ---- you'd be all over it!!!! We'd all get right on the internet and we'd research our butts off!!! We'd call our friends!!! We'd do a ton of work to find out what's wrong -- and what to do about it. THEN WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR A CAR PROBLEM..... AND NOT DO IT FOR YOUR OWN LIFE???

[GregWeld]

************ A DISCLAIMER *********************



For the legal community. I am NOT a Doctor. I am not prescribing anything. I am simply sharing what I did for myself. If someone wants to copy what I did and it doesn't work for them -- too damn bad for them. It working for me.

[GregWeld]

So after doing all the research....... don't skimp this part!! Research and understanding will help ease YOUR mind -- and if you get your relatives on it to help you -- they learn too!


Okay ---



What I acquired.



**DECARBOXYLATED** Rick Simpson Oil (THC EXTRACT FROM THE INDICA PLANT) --- do NOT BUY RSO or THC made from "hemp" -- even though hemp is Marijuana -- you want your THC made from INDICA strain of the plant. AND ------ IMPORTANT I THINK ------- I want the HIGHEST THC CONCENTRATION. 60% ish is normal -- I found some that's 80!!! If you're going to do this --- why not do it with the strongest med available???


Okay ------ This stuff will knock you in to next MONTH!!!!!!!


The web is full of info ------------- but you need to work up the dose a little at a time --------- and you will be incapacitated!!!! No work!!! No driving!!!! You'll basically going into hibernation for the next 2 or 3 months. Someone needs to be taking care of you!


I started by taking this on a cracker or similar. LET ME TELL YOU THIS STUFF TASTES LIKE CRAP!!!!!!!!


Go to your local pharmacy and buy GEL CAPS --- size 00 --- get a couple hundred of them they're cheap! Dose the THC and CBD oil right into the capsule and swallow with water. Done. No taste. No gagging. These capsules come apart -- squirt the stuff in -- put the cap back together until it "clicks".


Here's what the THC looks like in ONE MILLILITER syringes. THESE ARE WHAT YOU NEED ---- don't get them bigger they're too hard to use. Get 90 of these!!!! They are "expensive" and are not covered by insurance.... and THC is NOT LEGAL in most states. **DECARBOXYLATED**CBD oil IS LEGAL is all 50 states --- but you need the THC to go along with the CBD!!


In this photo ---- on the top of the photo is the ACTIVE CBD OIL ---- I buy this from ACTIVE CBD OIL DOT COM. This is their best "grade" of oil. And is what you need.

BELOW THAT (the CBD) are some syringes I bought today at the pharmacy. If you buy the stuff (THC and CBD) in the RIGHT syringe ----- the ONE ML variety ---- then you won't need the empyties! I bought one TEN ML syringe of THC and I can't measure the dose off the big ass thing!! Don't you make that mistake!! It's a total pain in the ass trying to transfer this stuff! If you need to do that EMAIL ME!!!! I'll walk you thru how to heat it up (critical temps here folks don't goof it up).

To the RIGHT SIDE is the empty capsules.


BOTTOM is the giant mistake. 10 ML of THC 80% ------- that right there folks represents about ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS worth.......

[SSLance]

I'm subscribed... :D If nothing more than just for the story tellin'...

Please continue Greg...

[GregWeld]

*****************************IMPORTANT************ *************




Go back to the photo and look at the CBD package. NOTE THE LITTLE TAG on the plunger!?!?!?!



TEAR THAT TAG OFF BEFORE USING!! LOL




NOW GO BACK TO THE PHOTO AGAIN ----- do you see what appears to be a BLACK CAP on the big 10 ML syringe??? There are NONE on the empty 1 ML syringes. Don't buy them without the caps if you need to buy them this way. BEST WAY IS TO JUST BUY ONE ML SYRINGES ALREADY LOADED!!!



Ask me why.

[SSLance]

Does the stuff leak out without the cap on them?

[GregWeld]

The dosage you need to work up to is ONE full syringe (ONE ML) per day of EACH of the THC AND THE CBD OIL taken at the same time.


I dose the CBD into one capsule and the THC into another and swallow. The "long half" of the "00" capsules will just barely hold this amount and it's just too messy to try to get all of this into one little capsule. They cost pennies.... just use 'em up. This is LIFE -- this ain't about pinching a buck! Money is useless where you're going unless you beat this!


YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TWO FULL OUNCES OF EACH OF THESE TO START! 2 full ounces is also measured out as 60 GRAMS.


This is going to cost you about FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. Or about a grand per ounce of each.





This is easy if you get ONE GRAM or ONE ML syringes. YOU NEED 60 of EACH!! This is the "full course" ---- but if you're like me --- I'm going to take it LONGER... and taper off and continue on a maintenance dose of 1 to 2 full syringes PER MONTH. I'm going to just do THREE syringes a month --- that is .1 ml of each per day X's 30 days per month. I figure if a little is good === more has to be better. I know. I know. This is "crazy" thinking and gets us in trouble when choosing cams and tires! But I'm going with it. It's just easier for me to remember. That amount will be easier to dose and it's gotten me to this point!

[GregWeld]

Now we're going to start walking thru the nightmare.......





You have a few things to get straight and in a big ass hurry. You need to secure your supply of THC (the illegal stuff) from a REGULATED SUPPLIER. Come on guys --- you're sick enough as it is...... and you're going to INGEST this stuff. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TAKING.


Enlist friends and family and get your supply route down!


Then prepare for the battle of your life. You need to be in it to win it. This is the toughest thing you're going to do - it's risky - you have nothing to loose... but you MUST stick with it or you're going to fail.


When you first start out -- this stuff is going to knock you so loopy you have no idea. This is why you need support! You can not work! You NEED to just let this stuff get in to your body -- and then you need to REST and let your internal systems get to work. This will take ALL of your energy.... every waking minute for the next few weeks.

Your mouth will get dry --- you will be lit up like a Christmas tree..... You might have nightmares about dying --- remember you ARE dealing with that part of this whole bit too! And the first couple of weeks as you're getting in to this --- you're thinking and telling yourself "THERE'S NO WAY" you're going to be able to do this. It's just too weird..... and especially if you're like me and HATE being out of control or drunk or stoned. Hey! You are going to go from zero to 100 in about 2.9 seconds! I went from 32 years of sobriety to STONER SUPREME overnight. LOL


The stoner part is the worst for me personally. I have a VERY active lifestyle. I'm trying to run my investments and all the other stuff going on... and I don't have time to be juiced out of my mind. Well ---- get over it!!! You want to live or die? Or like the movie line said ---- "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin' "



WORK UP TO THE DOSE by taking more of it an hour before you go to bed..... that way you fall asleep and then the stuff starts to kick in - but by that time you're already fast asleep. This strategy really helped me to work up to the bigger doses. Without doing this strategy I would have failed because the stone was so strong that I thought I wouldn't EVER be able to work up to the right dose!!!! OMG ---- We are talking about the fact that you just took HALF THE SIZE OF A GRAIN OF WHITE RICE ----- and you're so out of it you don't know what year it is ---- and they want you to take how much??????!!!!!!?????? NO WAY!! Okay - then just die. Sorry. Your choice. I took this period of my life and said ----- THIS IS MY CHEMO! If I was on regular chemo or radiation --- I'd be having all manor of OTHER issues..... at least I know this stuff isn't what's trying to kill me!! CHEMO IS!! I can't possibly overdose on this THC and CBD..... they even tell you that.... so roll with it. ALL treatments are going to have side affects..... being stoned and having someone wait on you isn't the worst thing that's ever happened.


FOOD needs to be MILD ---- and get yourself some ENSURE or similar type drinks. They go down easy -- can travel -- they get some calories in to you. NO SUGAR NO FATS.... Sugars feed a tumor ---- and fats are hard on your liver. Lighten the load dude! Eat well! Vegetables -- green!! Lots of 'em.... You know what's healthy and what's not. Now is the time to choose wisely. And drink green tea. It's good for you. I hate it. I drink the crap anyway.

[fesler]

Greg I know you will fight the fight that will keep you positive and that is awesome. No words can help with what you are going through just know that our prayers are with you in these hard times. Fight that fight and make it count. If I may how long ago did you find this all out? how far in the battle are you? Do you feel any better with what you are doing? Or is it just kicking your ass?

[GregWeld]

Here's how crazy all of this is........



If you've been doing Chemo and Radiation...... you have to take this stuff twice or three times as long to reverse the damage that's been done!!



Crazy??


How many of you know people that got cancer ------ Did everything the Doctors told them to do ----- they suffered for MONTHS ------ and died.


Sorry guys! That's not for me. No thank you very much. You can keep your poisons. I'm having fun! Living life! Just finished a 9 day road trip. I'm going to work out Wednesday (interesting to see how that's going to go - and I will report!). Without side affects? No.... but side affects I can LIVE with!

Is this a cure? I have no clue. We are going to live that out right here in these pages. You will all be with me either livin', and lovin', and laughin' ----- or we will suffer in these pages and I'll die. I really have no clue how this is going to play out. I've not walked in these shoes. I will make this statement:


I am 100% positive that this strategy has helped me to get to this point. If this continues I am happy. I am pain free. I am symptom free (mostly - there's still some morning potty issues lingering but I would expect that and it's "normal" and not "sickness"). You're shoving an awful lot of OIL in your body! We don't normally take in much oil..... so figure it out. DOH!

Absolutely fascinating to read. Greg, I never stop learning from u dude. Thanx for being brave to share it with us (publicly). Some of my prayers are for u dude....

I hope this thread stays up, and i hope this goes on to help more people (like your advice on the investment thread)...

I hope to see you on the mtn bike soon too......man, soo good to hear!!

[GriffithMetal]

I am really glad you are feeling better. Thank you for sharing this. RSO CBD/THC oil is no joke. Its tough to talk about this stuff to many people without sounding like some conspiracy hippy. My Dad used MMJ for his pain relief for a bad spinal fusion and it really changed him for the better. I really hope one day soon cannabis is moved from Schedule 1 to a lower level or decriminalized so more scientific studies can be done more thoroughly.

Let's do dinner and stuff.

What a story! Sounds brutal! Your will to live certainly made a huge difference.

I'm curious, does this treatment force the tumor to recede or does it allow your body to utilize what you have? Could this make you eligible for a liver transplant? Does it work for specific cancers or all?

Thanks for sharing and we are all happy as pig in **** that you are back to a good quality of life. I can only imagine how much sweeter life must be for you.

Well..... after you get done crying..... and get over the "why me"..... and you go thru your entire life to figure out if you're going to Heaven or.....

Then you pull your **** together and get busy living!

I don't know what the stuff is doing Todd and I'm not going to find out by going and asking a Doctor. The reason behind that?? WTF do I care what the stupid little tumor is doing? It's not affecting me whatsoever..... So I FEEL good. Who goes to the doctor when they feel good? If I went -- and I'm feeling good -- and the idiot says --- well the tumor is larger. Then what? Now every day that I wake up I'm living in dread. F that! I get up -- I look around -- rub my eyes.... and assess how I feel... Like everyone else in the world - there are great days and ho hum days - but basically I feel just like I used to.

I guess your Doctor could always place you on a donor wait list - but I was told there are THREE people waiting for every ONE available. That isn't something I'm going to hang my hat on.


Now -- the other thing is that your LIVER is an amazing organ and the actual cancer I have would "never" be able to kill my liver. The liver is too tough. BUT the cancer strangles you by simply chocking off the little biliary ducts that drain the poison out. I have STENTS in my liver now - and they WILL go in and roto rooter them once or twice if needed. Crazy -- Surgeon thought I'd be back in a month or two to have that done. Not needed so far!!!

Okay --- I'm not a doctor ---- and I don't know **** about cancer. People just need to get on the internet or with their doctor - and ask about - and research the various alternative treatments for other cancers. There's so much info out there it's crazy. Remember though.... it's the internet. Make dang sure you're getting good verifiable information and products. I worried about this the most. We are INGESTING stuff!! WHAT IS IT EXACTLY? WHERE DID IT COME FROM?? Is there any certification? etc.

Everything that I've read about this particular treatment - if you care to call it that - is that the THC/CBD help to stem the blood supply to the tumor(s) - and they help boost your immune system to RECOGNIZE the cancer cells and thus start killing the little bastards. Otherwise your body doesn't even know it has cancer. And then the crap spreads all thru the Lymph system. THEN YOU'RE TOAST. The Lymph system is your guard and warrior system. Without it you are a cough away from getting pneumonia or....

[DBasher]

Duuuude! So glad you're sharing all this, like all the other threads, this will end up helping a lot of people.
Nice work Spicoli!

[waynieZ]

Greg, that's quite the journey you've been on, and I'm glad it's paying off for you. Nice to see you feeling better. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Not sure which direction this thread is going....
When I found out about GW's deal I dug in and started looking around. A couple things I've found. Some of the information will piss you off, it's not a money maker for the pharmaceutical companies (yet) and why it's still illegal is pretty frustrating.
Cannabis was used in the medical industry long, long, long before any chemical drugs were made. It became illegal in the late 30's due to...pharmaceutical companies.
My parents grow and treat themselves, no oils just some plants on their property. My moms living with cancer and my dad doesn't take a bucket full of pills for daily functions.
It's great that this "community" is talking about it.
:thumbsup:

[Vegas69]

My thought process was that your treatments have put you in a place where modern medicine could now help you without chemo. (Remove your tumor/Open up other ducts) You get the point.

You know the intricate details and I don't. I just wanted to throw it out there.

[Greg from Aus]

Hey Greg,

I have tried sending you the links on face book from the local news over hear in Aus. It's about a new treatment found in North West Queensland Rain Forrest.

The Chemical name is EBC 46. Look it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ErikLS2]

Keep up the fight Greg, sorry to hear you're going through this, but what am amazing attitude you have!! F#*@ Cancer!

[Sieg]

The human body has a complex eco cannibidoid system, I don't think it's a freak coincidence that there is vegetation on the planet that supports this system. :sieg:

Doctors and nutritionists tell us vegetables are good for us, with the exception of marijuana because the FDA will pull their license to practice for recommending a non-FDA approved treatment.

I queried my vet today about treating my Lab with CBD due to his somewhat extreme anxiety when riding in a car, Benadryl and other recommended medications don't phase him. She told me that she would lose her license for recommending non-FDA approved treatment as well. Then mentioned she has two human friends that are living proof that RSO works.

It appears the lobbyist, big pharma, politicians, and other entities of the government want our money much more than our health. Since marijuana is a plant it cannot be patented in a manner that allows the 'players' big profit.

Here's a little Eco Cannabinoid System info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system

My thought process was that your treatments have put you in a place where modern medicine could now help you without chemo. (Remove your tumor/Open up other ducts) You get the point.

You know the intricate details and I don't. I just wanted to throw it out there.
I spoke with a good friend who's a longtime surgical oncologists familiar with the Klatskin bile duct tumor. The problem with this tumor is it doesn't present itself until late stage, even if caught early which is very rare he said it's difficult at best to successfully remove this type of tumor and in later stages it's simply not possible.

The odds between the US and UK of contracting a Klatskin tumor are 1-2 in 100,000 so they're very rare and thus the profession has little clinical data to fall back on. So in this day of medical malpractice I don't think surgeons are overly excited about performing the surgery.

In my research I've read that the THC actually turns the cancer cells on themselves and eliminates the tumor.....key words: I've read.

[Vegas69]

The only thing I would add, Doctors are humans like the rest of us. They have their own perspectives, beliefs, and skills in the medical field, specifically. I'd want multiple opinions from experts if that's possible.

[SSLance]

My Dad smoked cigarettes, heavily...for over 60 years. He often asked me "Why haven't I ever got lung cancer?"

My Dad also used cannabis regularly for the last 30 years of his life. This thread has me wondering if there is some connection between the two?

He died from COPD little over a year ago, his lungs were so full of tar that every time they did a chest X ray on him, they'd have to back up and do another because they'd miss the bottom parts of his lungs that had stretched down so far from the tar. The last 10 years or so he couldn't take smoking cannabis anymore, so he made brownies...his daily routine of having a brownie with his morning coffee sounds a little bit like what Greg is describing above...maybe not as scientific but one has to wonder if that is what kept him from ever getting any types of cancer and who knows how long it actually may have extended his life.

Thanks for sharing your story Greg, hope you don't mind if I pass it along to some of my friends and family that are dealing with some sort or another of cancer treatment as well.

[Sieg]

The only thing I would add, Doctors are humans like the rest of us. They have their own perspectives, beliefs, and skills in the medical field, specifically. I'd want multiple opinions from experts if that's possible.
They are absolutely human, I have numerous good motorsport/car, hunting/shooting, and golfing friends that are Docs.

Problem is they are a business and subject to heavy regulation by the insurance industry and the FDA.

Have you noticed the mental health questionnaires you have to answer now at the doctors office? Maybe it's just me because I hold a concealed carry permit? These two page questionnaires based on the nature and language are obviously mandated by their regulatory sources. My dentist office also has a similar but not as in depth mental health interrogation.

So those who abide by the regulatory authorities cannot give you their honest personal opinion without professional consequences.

[GregWeld]

Rather than try to respond individually to various suggestions etc -- which just makes for a whole bunch of reading.... I'm going to just answer ONCE - the reasons for NOT DOING surgery or Chemo etc.

Personally we have led a very charmed life style. We don't just get a room at the Beverly Wilshire. We get a suite. The point? There's not much I haven't done.





75th running of the Monaco Grand Prix? CHECK!

MY POINT?? The QUALITY of life must have some consideration. Life for me means being active - traveling - doing things that can't be compromised by feeling crappy -- or having to do appointments for chemo treatment - therefore being tied to some "place". A liver transplant is out of the question for me. Just not going to live with all the side affects etc that is going to entail.


AND HERE IS WHERE THE THC/CBD TREATMENT has been so "effective" to date -- mind you -- we're only 3 lousy months into this thing -- because I have been able to continue to do the things I like to do! I'm headed out on a mountain bike ride in a few minutes. Then I'm going to workout with my trainer tomorrow. And I'm planning on doing DirtFish -- and Thunderhill -- and SEMA -- and beyond. WHY?? Because I FEEL it's doable! End of story. TO me ----- that means the stuff is doing it's job. I'm over the hump.... and on the road to normality. Isn't that success enough?

How long does this last? Who knows? 2 months - 6 months - a year...... Doesn't matter. Until that day - I get up every day and go do stuff. That's living. The other -- that -- to me -- is suffering.

[Blake Foster]

The human body has a complex eco cannibidoid system, I don't think it's a freak coincidence that there is vegetation on the planet that supports this system. :sieg:

Doctors and nutritionists tell us vegetables are good for us, with the exception of marijuana because the FDA will pull their license to practice for recommending a non-FDA approved treatment.

I queried my vet today about treating my Lab with CBD due to his somewhat extreme anxiety when riding in a car, Benadryl and other recommended medications don't phase him. She told me that she would lose her license for recommending non-FDA approved treatment as well. Then mentioned she has two human friends that are living proof that RSO works.

It appears the lobbyist, big pharma, politicians, and other entities of the government want our money much more than our health. Since marijuana is a plant it cannot be patented in a manner that allows the 'players' big profit.

Here's a little Eco Cannabinoid System info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system

My dog LOVES THC on car rides!!! lol we have to give her some or she will have a heart attack!! I have no idea where the dog gets it from either!!

Greg, I'm glad you are waging war with F%*@ Cancer! and glad I've checked in with you to see how it is going.

What little research I have done is that the CBD/THC surrounds Cancer Cells and chokes them off and kills them.

I think this is the treatment of the future (except to the established Medical community). I know I have seen too many friends try to fight cancer with Chemo & Radiation, only to suffer and then wither away to die.

The US government owns the patent on CBD from marijuana.
What I'm curious about is people that are making the oil are they paying a royalty, or are they getting around it somehow?

http://www.leafscience.com/2014/07/25/u-s-government-patent-marijuana/

Since one part of the government applied for the patent of medical marijuana, and another part of the government approved that patent, it seems logical to conclude that the federal government knows that marijuana has some valid medical properties.

Now the hard part. How do we get them to admit it?

It was so good to have you guys all show up! I don't care that I had to start dying to get everyone together.... it was totally worth it.

Trust me -- I shed A LOT of tears over this whole sordid affair! Getting messed up (folks the THC is STRONG and there's no getting around it's affects!) is just not something that I was prepared to do. It took some soul searching to be able to give in and go with it. I'm sure glad now that I did!

********************** Important to note ***********************



The "smoking" of the pot is what helps with nausea - my stomach "roiling rolling cramps" (stops them INSTANTLY) - and it's the easiest to "do" when you're out on the road or having fun or whatever. Dosing the other stuff is the medicine part! The smoking part is helpful in other ways..... and it also (the way I use it with the PAX Vape 2) is delivering the meds needed. Just way faster.

Rolling a joint --- NOT --- That's not what we're talking about here!

Think about this CRAZINESS for just a minute!!!




The HEMP industry was put out of business by DuPont - when DuPont wanted to make NYLON ropes ---- and people wouldn't buy that cheap rope --- they wanted to buy REAL Rope..... HEMP?? OUTLAWED.

NYLON rope -- big seller....


Fast forward to today. Hemp is illegal. DuPont doesn't need any help any more --- but the drug companies do!!


Now ---- Let's say the government FINALLY says ---- YEP.... to Hemp.... and it really is the drug that will fight many ailments? Now then ---- Wouldn't you be crazy out of your mind with rage when you discover that all your Mother/Father/Brother/Uncle/Sister would have had to have done was THC/CBD and they'd have lived. Instead they did surgeries and chemo and suffered and hair loss...... and none of that needed to happen.

Remember! Your government is here and they're here to help you!

Back to our regularly scheduled programming!

[GregWeld]

So to get back on topic here...... There's some things we've had to deal with that any "drug newb" would. Such as..... "they" say that Marijuana is not addicting. I probably would agree ---- which led me to a BAD newb mistake.

In my rush to ingest the full RSO prescribed amount of 2 ounces -- and try to get that done as quickly as possible.... so I rushed/pushed the dosage way beyond what would be "normal". Okay for me - I was ready - I had help - I didn't have anything to do but get this in my system.... BUT when I was done with the 2 oz --- then it was QUITTIN' TIME!


WRONG!!!


BIG MISTAKE!!!


!!!!!!!!!!YOU WILL HAVE WITHDRAWALS!!!!!!!!!!



You MUST wean yourself off down to a maintenance dose. Don't just stop cold turkey like I TRIED to do. BAD!! VERY BAD!! DON'T DO IT!!

[TurboNova]

i hope this works for you. And believe me once you are diagnosed every quack head will come to you with "their" home remedy version of what can fix you and the "bad" pharma industry. The first thing I did with my cancer was the gambet of things you talk about why me, I dont even drink ect... while doing this I get every home remedy suggested. some made me very sick and some I would rather just be dead. i did the the Rick Simpson oil book and we did get the oil. However I am glad I didnt decide to put all my eggs in one basket. I do know people who it worked well for AND I really hope it works for you. It tends to work on tumors well from my friends who have used it for that. However it does not work for my type of Cancer, most of the pro THC/CBD people lose the common sense it CANT fix everything.

The big thing I found was after talking to several specialists, I got the gambit of different opinions. I can say for fact that if I would have got treatment in Phoenix I would be dead by next year. By traveling to Littlerock, AR and getting the treatment of stem cell AND Chemo I have over an 80% chance of being cancer free. Chemo sounds scary but in reality it isnt that bad. BUT getting someone who takes your type of cancer and tests the available treatments against your gene is important because most places go with the one size fits all approach which isnt good either. The biggest #1 thing I believe is finding someone DR that does nothing but what you have. There are specialists in everything and we just needed to find someone. I too have a very rare type of cancer and was lucky to find the group of specialists in Littlerock.

I hope for the both of us that 2017 Nov we are both at SEMA cancer free.

Brain --- Someone had mentioned to me that you had cancer.... I haven't seen you since you left the great Pacific NorthWET!

I TOTALLY AGREE with your statement of don't put all your eggs in one basket -- and to work really hard for yourself! Find out everything you can and WORK AT IT TO GET BETTER/WELL!


I have an inoperable tumor.... and this seems to be a REASONABLE approach for me (The RSO/THC/CBD oils). I wasn't even looking for a "cure" -- I was looking to slow down the growth and spread of the disease.

[Bill Howell]

Greg, it is with tears in my eyes I have read this and now reply. I love you man! You know that. Cancer is no respector of persons and can strike anyone. I love your outlook on the big picture and totally respect you living life to the fullest and not doing the chemo route. Whether you have six months or 60 years left, the key is to have things right with the man upstairs. I hope this thread goes viral and it helps many others. If the good Lord had not had a reason for this plant, he would not have created it and put it on this earth. I don't know all the answers but I do know he is still in charge and he has a plan for each of us.
I look forward to spending time with you at SEMA my friend.

[out2kayak]

Interesting... I just returned from DC and on the flight I listen to various pod casts. One was by John Stossel and his discussion about the FDA approval of drugs and the approach taken by the federal government. One case study presented was a kid who could not get treatment for cancer (what they tried failed and were out of options) when they heard about something offered in Europe (don't remember the drug name). Long story short, the whole family moved to London for nine months so they could try the drug. Now the kid is cancer free.

If you look at the whole of the aids epidemic, people were experimenting on themselves. This is how they figured out the current treatment.

As I understand it, the current system was borne out of the '60's and thalidomide and the resulting phocomelia. It seems, though, we have really thrown the baby out with the bathwater on our current system and not letting the individual make the choices ON THEIR OWN BODY, especially in cases such as presented in this thread.

It makes you wonder if the government should be doing it at all. Freedom, especially for the adult populace, sometimes requires risk that you may or may not be successful. In this case, taking the risk to improve your quality and / or length of life.

Sure, people ought to be accountable for their actions - you harm someone else (even if you are on drugs), you go to jail (or worse). Of course, I strongly recommend working with a doctor.

It makes you wonder why innovation is not happening significantly more and what could be done to improve the competition between pharmaceutical vendors. Clearly there is a market.

I'll keep you in prayer!

This morning we're packing up and heading out for Vegas for the weekend. Seems I'm traveling three times as much as before I got sick! WTF! But here's the take-away....


I'm UP -- FEELING GOOD -- not fearful of leaving the house and feeling bad... because I feel NORMAL!


Friends are playing this weekend and we intend to party like it's 1999....


I'm dosing the THC/CBD oil at .3 Ml each one time now - just before I go to bed. This is getting the meds in without the stone - because I'm sleeping. And I'm sleeping really really well! For the first time this morning --- I noticed something "else" has changed for me since the Meds..... I used to drink a ton of plain tonic... the quinine helped with my "jimmy legs" I used to get at night. I realized this morning I've not had them at all. Hadn't even thought about 'em.

[syborg tt]

Greg,

Thank you for sharing your journey with us and I am glad you are still here and fighting like a Rock Star. I've shared your story with a bunch of people and I hope we call all learn something from this and share this thread with friends.

Steamed white rice & soy sauce will also help with the excess oil in your diet it kinda firms things up and slow digestion down (buy it from your local Chinese take out).

... and since your back on the Mountain Bike you should look at a 4'' Fat Tire bike. It's like being a kid again and they are so much fun.

Brian,

Thank you for sharing your story and I will add you to my prayer list as I didn't know you were sick and keep up the fight. It's a tough one but my secret was not to let it own me.


Side note: Peppermint Tea works wonders for stomach issue's. It's to bad Peppermint Ice cream doesn't have the same benefit because it sure does taste much better.

Greg, the reporter in the news story said the oil doesn't produce a high. You report it does, what does it depend on regarding whether you feel high or not?
Not trying to be funny, but I'm wondering if small doses as a preventative measure would be a good idea.

Thank you!

One of my pet peeves was always that "others" didn't partake in "doing" -- many choose to let others "do". That's never been our style. If you belong to a club - go to the meetings - attend the events - volunteer to work a few hours at the event rather than letting someone else to ALL the work.... When I was on the Board of Seattle Yacht Club -- we used to thank all the members for paying their dues so the rest of us could have a great club. While meant to be funny.... it was true that of 2500 members -- only maybe 500 where truly "active". Great base of members supporting the rest of us that were having all the fun.

In other words...... GIVE BACK SOME -- or PAY SOME FORWARD... it's truly more rewarding in the long run.

I've said it 10 zillion times ---- Cancer is kind of like a cold - you just never know where or who it came from. I'm 63 years old - lived a good life..... I feel SORRY for those such as you mention here - 29 years old!! WTF Alex is only 29 - they haven't lived at all yet! That's wrong and it's why we need to fix this.

OKAY!!! NOW WE'RE BACK ON TRACK.......



Sorry guys -- but I wanted the thread to be MEDICAL -- and not really about "ME" -- even thought I truly appreciate everyones kind words!




CBD oil without any THC (you can buy it with many different levels or zero!) - will not produce any high whatsoever... Use it all you want. There's so many kinds out there - watch for where you buy and how you intend to use it! Gwen just got some CBD oil BALM for her KNEES -- applied it once -- said tonight at dinner she hadn't had pain from her knee all day.



THC or AKA: RICK SIMPSON OIL -- This stuff gets ya high buddy! I'm here to tell you that your first dose of ONE HALF THE SIZE OF A GRAIN OF WHITE RICE will put you on the floor! Thus the "working up to" the full dose of 1 gram per day for the 60 days. I worked up to taking 1.5 grams per day!! And at the END of the course I got very LITTLE high from it. More like having a couple of beers.
But working up to --- and maybe like MOST OF THE TIME I was taking the combo THC/CBD oil ---- I was STONED IMMACULATE! WASTED. Do not drive - Do not attempt to pay bills - don't do anything but stay home - Get rest - and have someone take care of you.

[syborg tt]

Not sure if it's just me but this made me laugh especially the "Don not attempt to pay bills" comment.


Serious Question now, I know you said during treatment to get some rest is that because you are so wiped out or they want you to rest during treatment ?

The first part is more about FUNCTION of the thread. I don't want the critical medical info to become lost amoungst all the well wishes.





"The REST" statement comes from #1 That's what's your body is telling you to do. Best to listen. #2 The THC comes from the INDICA plant. You can remember "INDICA" because it stands for In Da Couch..... Cause that's where it's going to put you.

[96z28ss]

I'm real interested in the CBD oil for my Dad. He was just diagnosed with parkinsons last year. His right hand thumb is constantly moving. The patent info list parkinsons as having a benefit from the CBD oil.
I have to do some more research on the subject.

[DBasher]

I went and visited GW a week or two before he was done with the multiple daily doses and got to see things first hand....It was life as normal other than the driving and major decision making, not wacked out of his mind (from my perspective) but also not quite 100%. I do remember being in town at the Road Ralley and him grabbing my arm saying "oh boy, it's kickin in!" Again, totally functional and able to carry on like normal but also having a bit of the "to the moon!" feeling.

The big thing I noticed is the amount of support he has there....you've gotta have support! His friends in town and family weren't babysitting but definitely were looking out for him...just making sure he's good every step of the way. I personally think this is huge! Going through this process isn't easy....Greg's lucky to be a decent enough person to have a TON of support, not just here on the forum but family and local friends.

****s working and he's doing well, what more could you ask for daily? I'm looking into the CBD for certain issues I've got, nothing life threatening but with the reading I've done it's almost like a daily vitamin. Take the time and research the product, it's not a bad thing!

Greg
Your are truly an inspiration on so many levels. Truly admirable how you are going through all this and still take the time to share and hopefully help others.

Missed you at GNR but hope to meet you at SEMA .

Best wishes

Brain --- Someone had mentioned to me that you had cancer.... I haven't seen you since you left the great Pacific NorthWET!

I TOTALLY AGREE with your statement of don't put all your eggs in one basket -- and to work really hard for yourself! Find out everything you can and WORK AT IT TO GET BETTER/WELL!


I have an inoperable tumor.... and this seems to be a REASONABLE approach for me (The RSO/THC/CBD oils). I wasn't even looking for a "cure" -- I was looking to slow down the growth and spread of the disease.



I am in the same boat. Tumor was 10cm 2 weels ago. But that is just part of it. Mine is bone marrow/blood so it is everywhere. Chemo was the only real option to get things done quickly for me. I am heading back for round 2 next week and we will see how much it has shrunk. From what my Dr has said, the Chemo will kill the tumor and it will be gone with in 6 months. It wont even show on a Cat scan at that point. Operation isnt even an option since it is on the inside of my pelvis and right next to my spine area. This is part of the reason I am traveling to Littlerock AR, these are the best guys in the country for what I have.

[DBasher]

Brian, you've got a whole lot of love and support up here in the NW! I just left a BBQ and must have seen 15 guys wearing your shirt.....the Wildman 602/PM crew is pulling for you, bud.

Okay --- SERIOUSLY --- I'm laughing my ass off right now just thinking about how stupid some of our government agencies are....

You know the FEDS just decided to keep Marijuana as a Class 1 drug (the worst rating) and stated that it has NO MEDICINAL USE.....



Okay -----



Then why did COLORADO bother to do all the work to create this document?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? About dosage -- about the types of THC and THCa - and CBD - and the different extraction methods and the DOSING and measuring and the standards and on and on.

https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/sites/default/files/MED%20Equivalency_Final%2008102015.pdf

Here's but a "snippet" of info. My point is that the good people that represent the voters of the great state of Colorado think that there is medicinal usage taking place and that there is a market for it - and therefore standards should be established. Unlike the FEDS that are just idiots.

CUT AND PASTED FROM THE REPORT:

An important compliment to the physical THC relationships
identified in this study is the pharmacological
perspective. If the purpose of the equivalency legislation is
to limit transactions or possession to a reasonable “dose”
of concentrates and marijuana products for residents and
non-residents, then the medical effects described here
will be useful to construct a set of equivalencies between
marijuana products.
There are several methods to consume marijuana such
as intravenous, oral mucosal, ingested, transdermal, and
inhaled. The two most popular methods for consumption
are ingestion and inhalation. We focus upon these two
methods in this study. The remaining methods are either
reviewed briefl y or are provided as references for the
interested reader.

The reader should understand that this section does
not represent a clinical study. Instead, this section uses
findings from other studies to inform marijuana stakeholders
about the dosing process, and it provides a
new mathematical construct that can compare ingested
and smoked marijuana products in a consistent manner.
Therefore, this report should be considered to be a policydriven
study that leverages medical literature to provide
scientific evidence during the construction of dose equivalencies
between various marijuana products.

Keep fighting Brian and you will be surprised how fast the 6 months goes. ( You to Greg )

The next part is the day Chemo ends as it is a very strange day. What I mean is you go in and see the doctor and they say okay that's it your done. You are left with this strange feeling and the first thing I said to my Oncologist is "That's it, it's just over ?" and she quickly replied "Yep, That's it and I will see you in 6 months for a check up".

I am telling you this as that was the hardest part for me because your entire life since your diagnosis or at least mine was focused on getting through treatment and then treatment is just over. It was very strange and thankfully I have a pretty good cancer survivor group that helped me through it.

[GregWeld]

It's funny that you say this Marty!!! When I was "finished" with my course of Rick Simpson Oil / CBD oil.... I quit cold. I was "done". NOT!!! Don't do it! You will have withdrawals......


BUT --- Like Marty said -- NOW WHAT?? You're asking yourself.....


My version is --- after I got done fixing my withdrawals (just start taking a little tiny bit and it fixes you right up!)..... I am DOWN to taking .3 ML of each an hour before bed. The Phoenix Tears website says to get down to 1 gram or what is 1 ML per MONTH. Somehow - for me - if a whole bunch got me to where I am -- Then I'm not so hot on suddenly cutting back to where maybe it allows the cancer to come roaring back...


That's the thing with OUR FEDS not seeing some medical benefits..... now I'm just hanging out here on my own.

[GregWeld]

Just FYI -----

I'm CONTINUING to feel better and better. Not WORSE, as I had fully expected to by now (almost 4 months into a 6 month death sentence). I used to have ONE good day and THREE real bad days and then one good or okay day.

I've been going NON-STOP since finishing the RSO/CBD treatment... and while I had just barely finished this course when I met with everyone out in California and was functioning "okay" but still in recovery..... I've gotten stronger and do more every day since. NOT a single down day. ZERO.

So much for the DEA "there's no medicinal use for cannabis" BS statement!

Hey Brian!! How ya doing????

[glassman]

Greg, question, What determined the "length" of treatment (RSO/CBD)?

[GregWeld]

Greg, question, What determined the "length" of treatment (RSO/CBD)?




Great question!!!


I just followed the instructions on the Rick Simpson oil website. It said to take 2 ounces and that it would take about 90 days to work up to full dose. I did it faster.

Since then I've been taking .3 ML of each per night at bedtime. That's a higher dose than is recommended for maintenance.... But I'll just be happy pounding a little more. It is t hurting me one damn bit!

Great News Greg! Keep At it!!!

Sadly Cosmo -- I don't think a lot of people will take a post from you "seriously" because normally your posts are great funny pics etc....

So I'm going to YELL this out!


GUYS - - YA GOTTA READ THIS ARTICE!!!

[GregWeld]

Greg, question, What determined the "length" of treatment (RSO/CBD)?

A HUGE DISCOVERY.... by me..... well, actually by my son Alex.

Alex knew someone that works at Canna Kids..... http://cannakids.org/ and arranged a call from them to me. They recommended that I first talk with this outfit....

http://www.greenhealthconsultants.com/

These folks are Cannabis consultants -- and for a fee they will discuss everything you ever wanted to know about how when where why etc. TO ME - THIS IS AN AMAZING RESOURCE!!!



If you go to CANNAKIDS website and go to FAQ's --- there's a ton of great info in there already. MOST IMPORTANTLY is how critical the CORRECT processed THC and CBD's are to your health. YOU want to make certain that your medical supplies are SAFE and ARE what they say they are. You don't want to INGEST stuff - when you're already sicker than a dog - that is made up by some dipwad in some back room.

Yesterday I had a PAID consultation with a RN - one that was recommended to me by "Canna Kids" which is a California Cancer "clinic" (I hate to use that word - but in California I guess that's what they would be called) and supplier (to California residents only) of THC and CBD.

My goal on the call was:

Check my dosage amount - what I did in the past - and what I need going forward.

Discuss "quality" and what I should be concerned about or not.

Discuss various "numbers" used on packaging etc and what it all means.

Discuss the RATIO of dosage. I've been dosing on a 1:1 basis based on VOLUME... is this correct? IF NOT what should it be etc.

What I found out is IMPORTANT and well worth the lousy $165 phone call. I feel much better about what I've done and where I'm going and what to look for in the products.

The dosing is not done on a 1:1 basis on VOLUME -- it should be mathematically worked out based on the PERCENTAGE of product. Such as the THC content being 66%..... but the CBD content is 35%...

When I get some new product - because the % all varies - I'll call back and they well calculate what I should be dosing based on MY weight and the % of product concentration etc. I will report what that is and how it's done as soon as I learn it.

F * # K Cancer!!!


This afternoon I hiked 4 or 5 miles..... not at a big high speed hikers pace -- just a nice steady gate.... the trail is narrow and rocky it takes effort just to walk.... THEN I came home and hit up a big ol' bowl of Sativa.... jumped in the hot tub - showered.... and dressed up a bit for dinner because the chef we hire on occasion was making dinner. HEALTY dinner *why we hire her*.... Dessert was baked figs in a little honey with vanilla yogurt... sounds like **** but tastes good and it's dessert I can eat (no sugar with cancer tumors!!). Mario is texting me how I feel --- and I just texted back this "report"! LOL I'm thinking that's feeling pretty dang good!!!

According to EVERYTHING I've read -- there is a universal theme -- Sugars feed a tumor -- and Carbs are also a no no....

So while I'm not going CRAZY avoiding sugar... I'm certainly paying attention and avoiding it when possible. Lest I see a bowl of ice cream..... then I discuss with myself if I should or shouldn't.

Although I've never met you I love your approach to things from garage to house to car to helping in general, the world could use more Greg welds ...maybe one day I'll get to meet you face to face ...we could have a coke instead of beers



I thank you for the kind words. Truly. Thank you.



Some of us just can't help it. Yesterday we were at Coker Tire. I see a '37 Ford - nice car - has a Washington plate.... so I walk over to introduce myself. Get to talking and the guy is new to hot rodding.... and has an Accuair bag set up on the front of the car - and it's acting up he tells me. One side stuck in full inflate - the other side drooping at ride height. REALLY?? WTF.... we have a LONG drive ahead of us -- it's late afternoon. I go find a Corker guy and ask to use a lift once everyone is gone. SURE! Great!

Next up - get my son on the phone (Alex) who I know is buddies with the owner of Accuair.... text Alex - he texts owner - who promptly has a tech calling me. Alrighty now here we go!

Left there at 7:30 ish - sweating like a pig.... and now dirty..... But I got him level and riding at ride height for the rest of his very long journey.

My point??? Nobody else stayed to help -- nobody talked to this guy.... and he's stressed out and his wife is unhappy about the harsh ride and on and on. I'm the idiot with cancer - that's tired as all hell and hot.... and not really into hot rods with airbags.... but it's WHAT WE DO! It's why we have such a great community!! Run into the guy and his wife today and they're SO MUCH HAPPIER!! Which..... makes me happy! End of story. It made ME happy to help him.

THANKS T.C. That makes me cry.

That's you being you and that is why you are such a great guy. Honestly I wish more people had your attitude. Just remember never stop being who you are as that is why people like you. You truly have something special in your heart.

:thankyou: for being you.

I too like it because the Kids painted it. This was the 2nd (out of 4) car they have painted. They paint one a year. We now have a waiting list of people that want to volunteer their car for paint

LateralG is a great forum, full of enthusiasts who share a lot of common interests in all types of cars, and car modifications, as well as trucks. Basically speaking, if there's a vehicle that's ever been built, either by a corporation, or an individual building a kit car in his or her basement, we here as an online community embrace the member on here who puts his or her heart into making it their own ride, by making it better than the original designers had in mind. Age doesn't matter in this hobby, from a car standpoint, or a person standpoint. Car people love cars. Period. Car people also love other car people. Period. There is no such thing as brand loyalty in our hobby. If you truly like cars...or trucks...then who cares if it's a Mopar, or Chevy...a Ford, or an international? Custom cars are...well just plain cool.

There are thousands and thousands of threads on this site that contain information that will help most people out there in cyber land build, or modify what their working on. Threads ranging from magazine shoots, to tips and tricks. Threads that contain information on race specific topics, to threads that cover wheel options. Threads that tell you how to set up your brake system to threads that give feedback on specific venders or members...good or bad. I'm telling you, this site has it all.

And then there's this thread started by a true car guy. A thread that gives information to help others, but not in an automotive demeanor. As I mentioned above, car guys love other car guys. And car guys help out other car guys, even when it's not practical or makes sense. The guy behind this thread cares enough to stick around and help a total stranger, late into the evening, with a system on a car that he admittedly doesn't really prefer, up on a lift on a hot sweaty day, when nobody else at this moment wanted to help. A true car guy that is in one of life's greatest battles, yet keeps moving forward, against the wind, with great dignity. Why? Because it matters. Because life matters. Because family matters. Because people are watching...and taking notes.

I hope that in 10...20 years when someone is scanning the Internet, looking for information about a certain issue they are facing, and come across this forum, and find this thread...I hope they see a true car guy. I hope they happen to notice the almost 20,000 posts that have been placed across this forum in effort to support, and help someone new looking for information. I hope that they see value in a mans effort to reach out to others with help that cost them nothing. I hope that they see the value in starting a thread like this one, filled with information that won't just help us all out in this weekends race, but ultimately in the greatest race of all...the race of life.

Of all of the truly terrific threads on LatG, this thread is by far the greatest of all. Thank you Greg Weld. You my friend are a true car guy! :flag2:

[GregWeld]

Thanks Scott! I just don't even know how to respond so I won't - I'll just say thank you and leave it at that.

[GregWeld]

I've neglected this thread - mostly because there's little to add.....

So far my cancer is not affecting me. Everyone asks "how's the cancer" and then they add "gee... you look really good!" which - of course - only serves to remind me multiple times per day that - yep - I have terminal cancer.

So here's my point. In May I was given 6 months to live..... I immediately started the THC/CBD oil regimen.... it's now 5 months later (I'm supposed to be mostly dead by now!) and I'm driving myself out to California for a track day weekend - then driving to Seattle for a couple days with fellow Lat G'r's Matt A and Rob Dickey to take an advanced DirtFish driving school....

I just finished doing a week long road tour.... doesn't seem like the cancer is bothering me much. Do I still have it? I don't know - all I know is that it's not affecting me "right now". That's really all I need to know.

I'm taking .01ml of each of the THC and CBD oil (73% - so ultra strong % stuff!) every night before bed.... during the night I know I'm like "lit up" because this stuff is STRONG! But by the time I wake up in the morning - it's mostly out of my system and I plan my day.

This last "batch" is from a source in California --- they did not sell it to me nor did they supply it to me.... CannaKids. It's 73% THC in the THC syringes and it's also 73% CBD in those syringes -- so it's super easy to dose on a 1:1 basis!! Some other supplies I've had are different strengths so you had to allow for that when dosing. I really like the super simple 1:1 on a "volume" basis... since they're the same strength. Their THC looks like gold honey - which is how all the CBD I've gotten looks. The THC from "others" looks like black tar. This seems to be super pure - it also costs almost double.... about $5400 for 30 syringes of each.... which these days is more than 6 months supply (.01ml per day - there's 10 days in each syringe).

[SSLance]

Thanks for the update Greg, I was curious what you were doing for a "maintenance" program now.

I have shared your story a lot the last couple of months and it is amazing how many acknowledge that they have heard similar stories. I believe this movement is growing if only on a grassroots level right now. Hopefully soon it will get even more traction.

[BMR Sales]

I too have shared your story - the reactions & opinions I get are polar opposites.

The Biggest Problem I have is Big Pharma and their push back against Medical Marijuana. If they put the Lobby Money into research I think they would find a cure.

Did you see the 60 Minutes section on IBM's Watson computer and what is doing for Medical Research?

[ADY]

Thanks for starting this thread, it's got me interested in researching for a family member that was in a car accident years ago but still has post-concussion issues (migraines and vertigo) and nerve damage. So far prescription meds aren't cutting it, and maybe an alternative medicine could help. Plus I'm in the medicinal pot mecca of Oakland, so should be able to find someone that has experience in treating people with similar issues.

[waynieZ]

Greg I'm glad your out enjoying yourself especially in our Car hobby. Show those guys how it's done!

[glassman]

No news is good news.

While we were out on tour, Greg was sharing his story with some of us and Steven (the Goodguys photographer and "greatguy" himself) starts telling us the story of a friend of his families down in southern california whose daughter has had similar results (young girl with cancer). Pretty sure its the same girl than Jerry (intocarss) posted on this thread on page 1 or 2. Small world.

Greg, keep it sunny side up this weekend or "slideways" whichever you'd like...cheers bud, mike

I've had countless people come up to me and share stories of how someone they know that had terminal cancer - and they're still kicking years later - due to? Rick Simpson Oil and CBD's.....

I have witnessed every kind of facial expression going! People are so funny. First they're mortified that I have what I have - then when they ask why I'm doing so well and I tell them -- many go into complete disbelief. I'm okay with that now. I understand how people have grown up with Marijuana being illegal - and for nothing but getting high.... I get it.

I have no idea what all this stuff can do - or how it does it..... but yes - do some research.... and stay off the sites that start with "high times" etc. It takes some searching and reading - and dismissing - and starting over.... to find the truly helpful MEDICAL websites.



Greg I'm glad your out enjoying yourself especially in our Car hobby. Show those guys how it's done!





I'd show 'em Wayne - but they can't keep up.

I think you're right Mike! Total turnaround story! I still wake up every day and "question" why I'm not dead or dying yet... and I think.... well? Only treatment I've done is what I've done. Must be something working.

[Ketzer]

I think its the immediate image people get that throws them off. They hear maryjuwanna and all they can imagine is Cheech and Chong stoned out of their gourds.
I bet a big percent of the true medical users aren't smoking it. (not trying to slam anyone by saying "true medical" but you weed heads know who you are....)

I totally agree with this!!!


By the way --- I do smoke during the day -- usually wait as long as I can into the later afternoon... because that puts an immediate stop to the annoying stomach rolling... and frankly - because it helps me take my mind off even having cancer. So WTF. I lived for the last 32 years sober as a judge.... I'm over it. It's helping me and that's all I need to know. Even smoking - is used as a med not just to get stoned. Frankly - after you have taken the potency and amount that I did for the cancer - the smoking really isn't that big of a deal. Although I won't drive on it.

[syborg tt]

You know whats funny. When I was diagnosed with cancer for the 2nd time I was pretty pissed. I've never smoked, did any drugs, eat darn near perfect and only drank for one year of my life. I felt it was unfair that I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Hell, I haven't had a soda since 1981 this is total bull crap.

So one day I was walking out of subway and I saw a young girl smoking and the first thing that came to my mind is that it was sad and that she shouldn't smoke. But then I said well f-it doing everything right didn't change anything for me. (Chances are my diet actually saved me because I was pretty lucky to be alive with what I had) So then I said just said to myself just smoke that cigarette because you never know what your path is in life.

What I can say is I am happy that I live the lifestyle that I did and still do as it is what has helped me get through the crap that I have been through with far less repercussions then if I didn't. I can tell you that "Diet" not dieting will increase the quality of your life 10 fold and if they told me today that I would have a better chance doing the treatments that Greg is doing I would be all over it.

I can tell you first hand THC/CBD Oil has improved the quality of life for a family that is part of the charity I work for. The sad part is that he will soon pass and we can take what we have learned from his experience and Greg and share it with other family's. I can't tell you how much this thread has help as not many people are as strong as Greg and he's done an incredible job sharing what he did and what he's learned and I can't thank him enough for passing on his knowledge to all that are willing to take the time and read.

I strongly suggest everyone save a copy of this thread on there hard drive because you never know when you might need this information.

Someone told me this quote and it means a lot to me know.

I'm surprised daily by how well I feel. Had someone tell me today that I've never LOOKED better! WTF!

I know one thing for certain! I'm the busiest dead guy I know! I was supposed to be dead the middle of November.... in other words -- I shouldn't be making SEMA! But WTF - not only am I doing SEMA -- I think I might be there next year too! LOL

Why am I writing this? Because it's fun to be RIGHT.... and so far the THC/CBD oils have been RIGHT. I have no other reason to be alive. Good enough for me. That is all. See many of you soon! And I can't wait!

[frankv11]

That's a beautiful thing keep it going.

[Bill Howell]

Looking forward to seeing you next week Greggy. I hadn't planned to go this year but plans have a way of changing. With our new association with NSRA, I have sponsorships to find and so, at the last minute I am SEMA bound another year. I was afraid all the Lat g party tickets were sold but scored one last night. See you there.

Greg I'm Glad the THC/CBD oil are making you feel so good, but that positive attitude you have is got to be helping kick the big C's ass ! I'm glad to have met you online and hopefully in person some time, just remeber to have a great time and remember us mere mortals live vicarious through you guy going to the Lat-g party so you guys post some pictures when you get back!

Thanks Wayne! I don't know any attitude other than "up". I'm not a funny guy - I'm not a back slapper - I'm not really much fun to be around. I'm really pretty f'n' boring if you ask me.... I only ever have one view.... if something you bought doesn't fit - you can bitch and whine and moan about it - or you can get busy hot rodding it. Right now I'm hot rodding - just like I always have!

We ALL live vicariously thru EACH OTHER! I live as much thru the guys on here as anyone else.

Wish you could be at the get together. It's fun - but sadly there's so many people there and every year I say I'm going to talk to EVERYONE that's there - and it just never happens. I want to meet each and every guy/gal on here so if you're at SEMA and at the party - come say hi! Damn it!

[FaBrycation]

Greg,

I have read this entire post and man... Im not even sure what to say. First off I am up for any treatments that work, especially when standard normal treatments fail so regularly. I dont get on latg as often as Id like given my side work going on right now and I am sad to admit that I just saw this post last week.

I am stoked that you are fighting a good fight and you are an inspiration for sure! I sure hope to see you at SEMA even though I can't make the latg party :/ I would at least like to shake your hand and say hi

I felt pretty lucky to bump into you at SEMA yesterday(since I had to head back to WA before the lateral-g party). Was nice to meet you in person. And THANK YOU again, for all that you give to the Lateral-g community.

[HEEP]

Mr. Weld,
I use Mr. because I have much respect for you, even though we have never met, and only discussed things here on the forum, and through PMs.

I have wondered many times how you are doing, and somehow I ran across this thread and read the entire thing. You sir are an inspiration for many of us here and I am truly glad you are doing well, as I enjoy your posts and how you get along with everyone. If there is anyone on this forum that seems to be the foundation here, I think it is you.

Thanks for sharing this information, as I know at some point, as others have said, a google search will point them to this thread and may learn something other than building a car.

Keep up this fight, I hope to one day cross paths so that I can shake your hand. Although, in reading, I see you were at Coker Tire in September. How I wish I knew you were here in my home town. Unless Coker has some sort of other building on the other side of the country. I would have liked to meet you in person, as everything I read here makes you out to be a unique person.

Keep posting about this because it is needed. Enjoy SEMA.

For those out there worrying about Greg. He looks fine . He looks better than he did before he got on this treatment. He has gotten himself another shop, ordered another car trailer and is wanting the Mustang race car back. I think he has figured out he is gonna stay a bother us indefinitely.:hapdance: :hapdance:

Tomorrow is the 6 month mark they gave me to live. I'm truly happy they blew their guesstimate!

I continue to dose the .1 ML THC/CBD nightly... nothing more. Had a blood draw this week and my blood is perfect.

I did meet a man tonight at dinner - by accident - that is somewhat of a cancer expert.... and he was SHOCKED I was not on the liver transplant list. I plan to follow up with him because he sounded extremely knowledgeable - and knew immediately what cancer I had etc. Couldn't believe he had finally met me because he had heard of me - my condition - and my "treatment". He gave me the "up and down" look and said -- "you sure as hell don't look like you have cancer - have you had a second opinion?!?"

I'm sorry -- I got a pretty good chuckle out of that statement considering the source. The look on his face was priceless --- because what his eyes are seeing is not what his brain is telling him what he should be seeing (a walking dead guy). The medicine man in him just couldn't "rectify" what stood before him.

I continue to dose the .1 ML THC/CBD nightly... nothing more. Had a blood draw this week and my blood is perfect.

I did meet a man tonight at dinner - by accident - that is somewhat of a cancer expert.... and he was SHOCKED I was not on the liver transplant list. I plan to follow up with him because he sounded extremely knowledgeable - and knew immediately what cancer I had etc. Couldn't believe he had finally met me because he had heard of me - my condition - and my "treatment". He gave me the "up and down" look and said -- "you sure as hell don't look like you have cancer - have you had a second opinion?!?"

I'm sorry -- I got a pretty good chuckle out of that statement considering the source. The look on his face was priceless --- because what his eyes are seeing is not what his brain is telling him what he should be seeing (a walking dead guy). The medicine man in him just couldn't "rectify" what stood before him.

That's awesome. That right there is the best advertisement for the THC/CBD treatment. Even an expert can't believe it.

You go girl!

As you know.... I've been running hard and fast!

[raustinss]

Is it weird ....Funny I was fitting some **** together at work today and wondered how you were Greg.... A guy I've never met yet was thinking ....haven't seen a post from you lately. Glad to see you have surpassed the 6 month date and are continuing to be in good spirits.

Thanks for posting this excellent article Adam!

It sums up everything that I have learned. Perhaps it will also help some understand why I choose to opt out of Chemo and Radiation.... and surgery and all it's complications and on and on.... just no thanks to any of that. The survival rate is so poor and a life on pills and waiting in doctors offices = and feeling sick.... If you knew me - you'd know that just doesn't fit! LOL

Doing is job 1 !!


True words right there Greg. This disease has a way of focusing you on what is truly important. Congrats on your six month milestone. It's just the beginning of more awesome life experiences to come. Cancer or not, you've got to get out there with your friends and have some fun! Thank you for sharing your story with us. You are setting the example on how to live life to it's fullest. Keep on keepin' on...

[GregWeld]

Thanks Neil!!!


I'm trying to live every single day buddy --- every damn day. What got me thru 32 years of AA..... ONE DAY AT A TIME..... that's the same thing that I'm continuing to do. One day at a time.

I was very close to just calling it and dying..... probably the hardest thing for me to do ever was to continue to take the THC/CBD and work up to the doses that make it work. But yes -- even my longest and best supporter of AA said DO IT! So I did.

[Che70velle]

cour·age (kûr′ĭj, kŭr′-)
n.
The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery.

Everyone in this life possesses a virtue that will define them. This is something that we carry into every situation that we encounter, from kindergarten to marriage, and throughout our lives. It is a trait that we are born with. It defines our every decision, and colors our surroundings. It is the "one thing" that people around us see in us daily.

Some people are destined to persevere, because they contain in themselves a trait called courage. Because of your courage Greg to choose the road your on, you can't lose my friend. Never ever lose sight of who you are Greg! You got this!

[GregWeld]

Thanks Scott!

[GregWeld]

I've been trying to figure out what the dosage should be for "maintenance" going forward.

One of the things I've mentioned in previous posts is that the percentages/strengths of THC and CBD VARIES.... and you have to calculate each to get the ratios right. I found a good article on it.

Greg,
I have not had the pleasure of meeting you in person but I admire your positive attitude and willingness to share. I am happy to report that my stock portfolio is doing very well thanks in part to your advice.

I lost my dad to cancer in 1980 and to this day I distinctly remember how once he got the diagnosis he just gave up emotionally and was gone in months. I have come to the conclusion over the years that a positive mental attitude has a dramatic positive effect on one's health. There were times over the years when I would get mad at my dad for giving up so easily and not fighting his cancer. Your THC/CBD treatment clearly has helped you feel better, but it is clear to me that your positive attitude is the real reason why you will be with us for a long time to come.

Anyone that has been dealt a hand like this --- I will say - it's VERY hard, no, EXTREMELY HARD not to get depressed. I'm not a depressed kind of a guy.... and you've read me say on here a zillion times -- We just need to hot rod that part! Well ----- right now I'm hot rodding myself!! LOL

Thanks buddy! My PERSONAL journey is posted here in the hopes that it helps ONE SINGLE OTHER PERSON..... whether it's someone's wife - child - family member or friend.

I don't know if this stuff is really working or not -- all I know is I'm still here and kicking it! I think that's pretty good despite the terrible diagnosis.

I'll just keep posting what's going on and let anyone else make up their own mind is this is what they want to do or not.

[GregWeld]

I just posted on faceybookie ---- Sorry - still hate the thought of sharing all this stuff on the internet - but lord knows I've shared enough of my life right HERE! LOL



Okay -- I've had a little bit of a medical issue this last week - nothing serious but it did have me in the E.R. Saturday. Since - I've had some blood tests and a simple exam - and the feeling is this IS NOT cancer related.... and in fact, a couple EXTRA blood work things were ordered to check for cancer tumor "markers" and they both came back NEGATIVE. Yippeeeeee......

During all of this - I was in the middle of switching to a new doctor here. And had an interview with him and his staff (he charges a flat annual fee sort of deal)... and during the interview he asked for a complete rundown of what has gone on and what I've been doing etc...... a complete "info dump" proceeded --- and when we were all done - he said "I" might have to teach HIM a few things about my "cure" because I was without a doubt the healthiest cancer patient he'd ever seen. LOL

Good news.... or maybe the no news is good news!

[Try2paz]

keep up the good fight! Glad to hear the test result came back negative.

First time I ever quoted myself!!



After a THOROUGH review of my medical nightmare --- the new Doctor is dumbfounded at why anyone thinks I have cancer "for sure" -- because nothing in the tests or the way I look indicates I'm sick. Sick with something bugging my liver - and it needed the stent - but the new Doc says there are "lots of things that can cause that, and they don't have to be cancer".

So --- He wants me to trip back to a biliary and pancreatic cancer specialist in Seattle (or Mayo or whatever) and really find out if I actually have cancer.

Here's the 64 MILLION dollar question. Did I have cancer and cured it with my home brewed THC/CBD and no there's no trace of it..... or was I diagnosed? Or is it some kind of different "something-or-other" than could be treated?

The saga continues.....

What a roller coaster but it seems to be moving on a positive direction.

I'm assuming our current doc has the records from whom diagnosed it originally?

Doctors get way to much credit. They are plain old humans like the rest of us. Intelligent in their own ways, but regardless, human.

As I said in the past, I'm with your current doctor. Maybe it is something else and you can head it off with action at put the fear in the rear view mirror.

I'm with Frank, the main thing is you are doing well!

Mr. Weld,
Great to see you posting. Thanks for updating this. This thread is one that will stay in the back of my mind for any future issues in my family or friends. Thanks you for sharing your situation.

You should ask to have the thread title updated. Add "Hot Rodding Mr. Weld"

[glassman]

Greg, I totally agree with what Todd said. Whatever the diagnosis was/is, if you didn't do something drastic when you did, you may not be here with us today.
Even if it stays a mystery, like you said, "If your feeling good, go for it"....

Cheers bud, hope you get a chance to slide down the mountain this winter....

Not skiing this winter!


More than 6 months after my "premature death" was announced to me..... from the panel of experts.... Gwen and I just drug a 12' Xmas tree thru the woods and loaded it in my pickup.... HA!! Running chainsaws and clomping around in the woods wasn't what they had in mind I don't think! LOL

Amazing to me that the US Government owns the Patent on CBD, that the Major Pharma companies of the time used to sell Indica & Sativa over the counter for a number of illnesses, so they knew of the benefits, but yet they made it illegal. Hypocrisy!

It's crazy to think we are so screwed up!


I'm in Seattle - had an MRI today - and will meet with a Biliary Duct cancer specialist tomorrow (Tuesday) to see what condition my condition is in.

Good luck, I'll say an extra prayer for you tonight.
