09 - Stand Up! (for yourself)

In the PAIN SECTION, I walk you through the simple assesment that I have used for nearly 3 years to help understand what it is that  I am doing to my body with the treatments that I have discovered. This tool has been a useful tool for me that I think will help guide you in your recovery. All you've got to do is stand there and pay attention.

Today in the MEAT SECTION I attempt to describe how fascia connects the small bones in my feet to those in my neck and the role of adhesions  in encoding distortions into how all of my bones move relative to one another.

In the WEED SECTION I focus on listing some strains that are high in CBG and a few guidelines for those that have been good at treating my extreme pain. I use my understanding of the purpose of pain to push the chronic pain patient to take responsibility for their condition and their rehabilitation by listening to what their body is trying to tell them.

Panama Red
Blue Dream
Blueberry Cobbler (lowest THC strain that "worked" for me)
Pineapple Express
Durban Poison
Alaskan Thunderfuck
Strawberry Cough
OG Kush
Sours and Super-Sours
Lemon and/or any red fruits (cherry, strawberry), but watch out for added terpenes!

Sativas, Kush, or Indicas that are "16-25% THC AND  0.2 -0.5% CBD" (and DO NOT give a strong body high)

*The negative efects of marijuana that I have encountered can be difficult to endure. If you find yourself in such a situation, taking CBD may reduce the effect or cause it to dissipate more rapidly. . .or not! In most cases, except for oral ingestion, effects should subside within 2-4 hours. Patients may also be helped with soothing distractions like warm blankets, light touch, or similar mildl stimulation. Know that it is very unlikley that YOU or your loved one will become the first documented cannabis death in human history and maintain yourself for a few hours. Even amplified pain, will pass.
