Spinal Injury Pain Relief!

Todd Walk of Missouri: Spinal Injury, Neurological Pain

Todd has a spinal cord injury at T3, that’s complete paralysis from about the mid-chest down. Because of the traumatic nature of his injury, he suffers from neurological pain.

It’s tough for Todd to describe the experience. “…strangest type of pain you can describe. You can’t understand what it’s like unless you have it.”

There can be different degrees. Todd’s is moderate to severe. “It’s like being burned or stabbed, or, anything like that…twenty-four hours a day.”

For Todd, it’s worse at night. “It’s not as bad during the day as long as I take my pharmaceutical medication.”

The pain is particularly bad when storms are coming in and when he forgets to take his medicine.

“Nothing really seems to help.” Todd is prescribed a number of anti-seizure medications. “Some, I take for the baseline pain, but they don’t help with the flare-ups.” Opiates are reserved for the flare-ups. “That doesn’t seem to do much either.”

How Cannabis Helped Me Beat My Alcoholism

  Ask anyone in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to read that headline and I’d bet you a bag of nickels that their reaction would be one of extreme fear coupled with a sense of creeping self-doubt.

  I’m proud of who I am. I’m a halfie — half Puerto Rican and half Brooklyn Italian. I get my soul / connection to my Taino ancestors from my Rican side, and I get my addictions and legacy of dysfunction from that side as well.

  From the beginning I knew life was going to be hard. I accepted it and was fortunate to glean a lifetime of knowledge on what it was like to struggle — -and struggle I did — hardcore.

Sanjay Gupta Goes To Israeli Labs For Breaking Research

  As the rest of the world continues to debate the benefits of cannabis and an increasing number of countries pass legislation to make it legal for medicinal and scientific purposes, it is inevitable that more research will be undertaken to determine the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicines in treating even more conditions, from every day illness to chronic diseases.

  Meanwhile, Israel has been quietly turning itself into a world-leading center with its own medical marijuana research programme. Described by Dr. Sanjay Gupta as ‘the marijuana research capital of the world’, Israel has been conducting research into marijuana since the 1960s and is home to the world’s largest medical marijuana production, research and development facility.

  The man widely regarded as the grandfather of medical marijuana research, is Raphael Mechoulam, a professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem who was the first to isolate, analyze and synthesize the major psychoactive and non-psychoactive compounds in cannabis, and develop a number of marijuana-related treatments.

A HIGHER CALLING: HOW ISRAELI MARIJUANA RESEARCH CHANGED THE WORLD

“The problem is that for many years, marijuana was put on the [same] scale as cocaine and morphine.”

As much of the world debates how to address marijuana use, the vast majority of American states have legalized it or allow it for medical purposes. Global pharmaceutical companies and hospitals seeking effective treatments using cannabis should look to Professor Raphael Mechoulam, a scientist at Hebrew University. Mechoulam, a pioneer in the field, was the first to isolate, analyze and synthesize the major psychoactive and non-psychoactive compounds in cannabis and has developed a number of revolutionary marijuana-related treatments.

Today, roughly 147 million people use medical marijuana for effective relief of various ailments, including AIDS, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, cancer treatment side effects and Parkinson’s. Experts believe these numbers will grow exponentially in the coming years, and Mechoulam is now widely recognized as the godfather of medical marijuana, the high priest of his field.

Testimonies of Healing At the Legislature

  Oklahomans Shawn Jenkins & Ray Jennings addressed a packed hall at the Oklahoma State legislature on Wednesday, July 25th. Jenkins told of his son's severe health needs and how cannabis medicines have greatly improved his health, development, and quality of life.

 Ray Jennings told of his fight with stage 4 cancer and how his family convinced him to try cannabis medicines when he was near death.

  The State Health Dept. soon after appointed Jennings to the Food Safety & Packaging board for the Medical Marijuana Authority.
  Jennings goes into further details in this home video.
