Totally possible. Each person is different. What works for one doesn't always work for another.

I know of people that use an ecigarette that have significant improvements on their asthma and have been able to stop using an inhaler. That is not true for all just some are able.

To get off 11 meds, I wonder if it was for 11 different health issues. I've talked to bluebird and I was taking the minimum dose but they said some take a higher dose for results. Just can't afford it anyway. All I wanted it for was OA pain.

I believe you can even order from ebay when it's available.

Ugh, take a gander:

Monsanto and Bayer are Maneuvering to Take Over the Cannabis Industry

My thoughts on this are that Bayer/Monsanto is lobbying to keep it illegal for now, despite all the social pressure to legalize, so that when it does get legalized (with their permission) they will be right there to fill in the void. So you're right in the sense that there won't be a significant difference for you. The US will always have a healthcare crisis as long as huge corporations are protecting their own interests at our expense. I'm not getting (too) political here as no president can fix it.

You're right, it is hard to grasp. I can't imagine taking that many, but apparently many people do.

My good friend who NEVER took drugs and taught me so much about alternative healing came out of Kaiser when she went thru afib issue a yr ago now. She's now working with more Alternatives to get OFF those hard core drugs. She said when she left hospital she had 7 drugs on record now TO TAKE. I believe she wasn't taking ENOUGH magnesium for years. She's taking Dr. Sinatra's heart health recipe now.

Thanks for the article. It was interesting to read.

I wouldn't get too concerned about it though. The thing is that even if Bayer takes over the cannabis industry by buying out larger cannabis-related companies and products, that wouldn't necessarily mean there would be no other alternatives. People can still raise their own plants, and there will likely still be cooperatives that produce and trade their own crops. In addition, there are still plenty of smaller companies that are unrelated to Bayer or Monsanto brands and which produce and supply their own nutrients, fertilizers, etc.

It seems like the prices would go lower, 'cause then everyone would be jumping on the bandwagon, more competition.....

Of course, economics is not my field.

It wouldn't surprise me if the person had three health issues. But those three pills caused three other health issues, and the other six pills were for the other side effects causes by the first five pills.

Jam, how are you taking it? By mouth?
