The amount I tincture or vape is more on how my day starts......All in all I will guess which should be close to 75mg daily.... I do understand you are anti MM or should I say dont see medicinal reasons for using it...Thats cool I have no problem....Your studys and dosing are way off and everyone is different... I was a complete skeptic if 2 professionals hadent talked to me about it I would still be on pharmaceutical anti seizure which also helped my headaches .....Thats a long story on that..... I dont believe MM is for all, but I am a true believer that it is a medicine and but very T'ed off at my government (USA) has treated it as a schedule one drug....We need massive studys, which there are...But for the Drs and the dispensary putting everything on the line to just help me....Thats very sad. |

I'm not against MM. I am against unregulated use of recreational M. I have seen and read about the damage it can cause. I have a severely TBI'd friend due to THC and driving. I have read enough to know what value it has. THC has value in very low doses except for cancer patients. CBD needs high doses and only helps with some symptoms and may take a long time except in a few limited conditions (Crohn's Disease, epilepsy and the like are the most understood.)
I walked into a MM dispensary next to a major cutting edge medical center in Calif last year and tried to get information about the therapeutic uses. They had knowledge about the different highs but almost no knowledge about different therapeutic uses. They did not even carry a high CBD strain because there was so little market for it. The prescriptions/MM cards were easy to get by going to the right doctor.

Its truly not for everyone, but last weekend I spent my Saturday and Sunday learning more.....And there is a small group of X NFL players trying to get the league to wake up to CBD as a nuro-protectant. I cant see how in the world it can hurt with such violence between whistles! Anyone who self medicates are the best judge....as for the poster or anyone who thinks its a cure or other wild hope....We all respond different to ALL drugs we put in our body's.....until we can have massive research my country needs to wake up from a long nape of ignorance. |

Hey Mark, what can I do regarding my eyes? I started doing vestibular therapy last week, I am going to a spine and brain clinic that employs the treatment Sidney Crosby used to get healthy, and I have been driving once or twice a day, going for walks, and watching basketball games at night along with youtube video or two throughout the day. Since starting the therapy my eyes have been burning/strained, sometimes bloodshot.
I'm wondering why this is occuring and if its effecting my headaches, fatigue, nausea and sensitivity to sound and what I can do to prevent my eyes from feeling like this because it definitely feels counter productive. Thanks, Zack |

zack,
You can check Health Care Locator Custom for a behavioral optometrist. Did the Carrick functional neurologist / chiro neuro suggest the visual stimulation ? It sounds like you may not want to be pushing your visual stimulation. The Carrick protocol does not work for every one. In fact, based on experience on NT, it has only helped about 25% and cost up to $10,000. There can be a vast difference between different Carrick trained chiros. Be careful and watch your wallet. btw, Crosby is not healthy. He has his ups and downs. DavOD, I asked the bud tenders to let me speak to the manager and he did not know anything more. But, they knew about the different highs. I would like to see CBD studied and made available to more people. There is another cannabis resin being studied, danadadiol or something like that. It sounds interesting. The NFL players would like to have CBD available after games with hard hits. Worth a consideration. The problem is the feds. They need to separate THC from the non-hallucinogenic compounds. Keep federal oversight of THC and let the others be studied more freely. There are other protocols that have shown value in the first day or so after a hit. They are expensive and still being studied but the NFL players could afford the treatment costs and be a good study cohort.

I think about Crosby's concussion trials quite a bit. For context, all of my concussion's came from hockey and I received most of my help in recovery from a facility that Crosby uses, although it is not in the media like the Carrick Institute.
His best-in-the-world performance is largely to do with his brain processing speed which allows him to see the game, a very fast-paced game, better than anyone else in the world. Yet, he struggles with the ever increasing sensitive brain that has become prone to concussion. How does he do it??? We all know that concussions affect our brain processing speed, our balance, our sensitivity to stimulation, etc. You can see it in Crosby's face that he is affected by all the concussions. He covers his eyes with a hat during interviews, he has 1 eye partially closed while on the bench after a shift which I perceive to be a sign of reducing stimuli. Yet, he came back last year from a significant concussion to win the Stanley Cup, and he's at it again this year continuously proving that the concussions are not preventing him from being the best hockey player in the world. How does he do it??? What is he doing that we don't know about. It can't all be from Carrick's 'space chair'. I feel like professional sports are secretive about their concussion recovery procedures and only reveal parts of the story (ie. Dr Carrick's program). I suspect that Crosby is heavily invested in neurotransmitter treatment, especially acetylcholine which represents brain processing speed. What else though, aside from Carrick's space chair that treats the balance/vestibular system. Any thoughts? Hains |

Crosby has a HUGE library of over learned skills to pull from. He does not have to cognitively react to many situations. He does it with memorized or over learned skills. But, when he needs to try to do new tasks, like an interview that is impromptu, he has to rely on real time responses so he has to minimize stimuli and be more attentive to his functions. He also has developed many coping or work around mechanisms.
His use of coping mechanisms should be an example to many on NT who just want their life back. It often takes developing coping mechanisms and work-arounds to get our life back.
