Where can I get my hands on this treasure here in US? The only website online I found was Blue botanicals? Has anyone used that?

this is similar. dr. Cass ingram claims that it helps with brain function (for neurological lyme would be great). I did not try it yet. However a friend of mine who is having memory issues and perhaps some other brain related problem, is using it and loves it.

Sam12....I listened to a lecture on this and it as explained that it has the same compound. Maybe it is worth it a try. A lot of people at the lecture were interested in alternative medicine cure for tumors...and there were some cannabis contractors there who were interested on the extraction of the hemp as well as the cannabis oil. One of the issue that came up is that if you find it you have to make sure that is cold pressed extract. Apparently this is very difficult to find in the US. The creator of the hemp oil explained that he had his produced by a group in Europe where they follow a different technique. According to him, the way the oil is extracted in the US leaves a waxy film that changes the chemical structure and the effectivness of the oil.
It was interesting to me, listening to the contractors discussing this technicality.
The creator of the hemp oil of NASC is a lyme survivor BTW ....
I wonder if in CO they might have something like this?

Thanks artermix, I will look into trying that out. Its so hard to get quality CBD in US anyway because of all the restrictions, wish it wasnt like that, so hopefully this helps. I buy that company's regular oreganol and it is very good.

I'm using Blue Botanicals CBD oil (hemp oil.) I've been on it for about a month and take a whole dropper full once a day. I don't know if it's not enough, haven't been on it long enough, or if this stuff just doesn't work, but I haven't noticed anything different. I live in a state that just started allowing the sale of MM, so I would love to try CBD oil that has small amounts of THC in it to see if it makes any difference. I have never smoked Marijuana in my life, so I feel weird even thinking about this, but I guess with Lyme, all bets are off. If cow dung eradicated Lyme, I'd take it, lol!

Sam:

Bluebird Botanicals is a popular one. A few members have posted about it.

/www.bluebird-botanicals.com

In Canada, I got mine from The Green Cross Society.

From their website:
Quality tested with accurate numbers with one of the highest CBD percentages around.
THC= 1.5% CBD 41.7% CBN= 0.11%

Optimistick - we must have been posting at the same time.

The CBD oil from hemp does have tiny amounts of THC in it (see my previous post)and high CBD.

You can get the marijuana oil that is high THC and low CBD.

Sam12...yeah I use the oreganol as well. I used that prior to abx . I think I am going to use it again and perhaps order the Hempanol as well.
OptimisTick....yes true...I also felt weird taking it because I never took any "drugs" ...but after researching it I realized I was thinking out of ignorance and being uneducated about the product. I also take hemp protein powder, which for the reasons we know cannot be made in the US. Mine is from Canada.

This is the company I bought mine from. I can't say it did anything, but I can't really say that about any of my supplements, lol. ;) It does seem quite high quality and I do love their essential oils.

I went through a bottle of bluebird, did not notice much difference except a bit of relaxation and possibly better sleep. It is a little pricey if used for Lyme. It is much better to have an extract from cannabis rather than hemp for healing from Lyme. You want it to contain thc also. Lyme patients use very small amounts, usually mixed with coconut or some other oil. Much less than the cancer patients use, or for seizures.
If you can buy it on the internet, it will be made from hemp, not cannabis. Hemp is a good food supplement, though.

LindaLew - There has been research done by Dr. Eva Sapi - partnering with Dr. E. Murakami - on CBD oil from hemp (high CBD/low THC) - and have shown good results in-vitro. Now, we know that in-vitro success doesn't mean in-vivo success.
But, there is a lot of anecdotal accounts of success.

It is CBD oil that is used for seizures. (minimal THC, high CBD)

Thank you OptimisTick, Girlie and LindaLew. It seems the CBD from hemp is not so effective. Wish there was a way to get it easier here in States. I also can't believe it's come down to this where I am actively seeking drugs lol. Oh what are we reduced to haha, makes me laugh and cry.

Thanks TrialbyLyme, will check that out.

I have heard there are cannabis delivery services in NY. They make cannabis lip balms and other things. Anyone know how I can contact them?? They even have articles on sites like huffingtonpost but no way to contact them LOL I really regret straying away from a friend in college who used to have regular access to cannabis haha.

I wouldn't say that. My cousin has a friend who was treating lyme for a few years...no resolution, and is using CBD oil and now has her life back. I don't know what would happen if she stopped taking it.

And on Dr. Murakami's fb page - there are quite a few testimonials of CBD oil working.

Bluebird Botanicals - is a source in the States you can get it from.

Hello!

Girlie's right! :)

I emailed Dr. M for advice prior to our appt with the LLND. He recommended www.elixinol.com. which is located in the US.

The cbd oral pen applicator and put about the size of a grain under your tongue.

Whatever you choose, my understanding is it is the CBD that you want, plain hemp is not the same.

The CBD oil is from hemp - it's high cbd and low thc - so no 'high'psycoactive effects from it.
Hemp is naturally higher in cannabidiol.

The marijuana - is low cbd and high thc.
Posted 9/29/2016 1:13 AM (GMT 0)
so it is a good thing right? :-)
Posted 9/29/2016 1:17 AM (GMT 0)
Thanks Girlie!

Btw, Elixinol has a medical advisor Dr. M said to contact if any questions. Dr. B -who happens to be a retired US Army Colonel who went to West Point.

Thought that was interesting.
