13. Well I finished the regiment

and am feeling pretty good. I will go back to a maintenance dose now. My digestion is really good and pain level is noticeably relieved. I don't feel cured, but I feel like this regiment beat back the progression of growth. It actually took me over 90 days to finish my concentrated dose, but I stuck to it.

I have Mantle Cell Lymphoma, which responds to initial chemo but then has to be treated periodically with more chemos because it relapses. I went through the initial chemo (immuno therapy) 2 years ago and planned then to turn to this herb to stay comfortable--which so far (knock on wood!!) it is doing a good job of that.

My experience of taking this concentrated cannabis oil is that it is best to plan when to take the oil, for me the psychoactive effects came on strong from 2-6 hours later and could last from 4-5 hours depending upon what I ate I suppose, or perhaps the oil gelcaps varied just a bit.

What I did was to take them every other day to start with and then build up my tolerance by taking them every day in the evenings. I would run my errands on my times off the pills--noticing from the start that I was feeling much less pain and that my head was very clear.

Most of the people here know that when the effects of cannabis wear off there is no residue, no negative after effects. I feel really good, at least today--and am grateful for having met someone wiling to make this oil for me.

I am living a simple life, next week I will see if I can go on Social Security. I am thinking ahead--and if I can get a license to make this oil, I am going to research this further and learn to make it for other people. I hope to find a tiny plot of land and a cool community to live in so I can do this I would love to give back what I have been given.

Peace to everyone here!!~~Felix
