It's good that you doubt the whole 1 gram per day nonsense.
Wish I had. Also wish I had not advised others to do so.
Fear can make people suspend critical thinking.
Wasted a lot of oil and was almost catatonic for months. A boneless chicken, a people skinned rug.
Fortunately, I was graphing my progress and could clearly see my progress slow as the dosage increased past the sweet spot.
Ideal dosage of any medication is a bell curve. Too little is not effective. So is too much.
There is no reasonable lethal dose with RSO, but I have documentation that clearly shows, MORE THAN ENOUGH IS TOO MUCH, Sorry for shouting, but that is important.
As of my last blood test I appear to be in remission with a reasonable amount, (120 mg), of un-decarbed RSO. Have dropped it again to ~85 mg. for this test period. closing in on best dosage.
Sorry for dropping out of this thread, but it was attracting a lot of misinformation.
I do not wish to be debating people who claim cancer is a mold and feeds on sugar.
Cancer is ordinary cells gone mad.
Without apoptosis and moderation of cell division it forms rapidly growing tumors. It is nourished by the same glucose that normal cells are. That glucose comes from proteins, starches, sugars, lipids,.
In short, food.
Might be time for serious discussion if we start a new thread, yah? Don't want to make people wade through this one.
Aloha Ya'll,
Weeze
beware, here is my long rant ;)
yeah a life-threatening DX really makes it hard to think clearly! but as I was stuck in Japan at my DX, I had no option to try the oil then, maybe I would have tried 1g as well. in the meantime I just read tons of studies on it as well as on life style (food, exercises, stress).
been on 2mg per kg recently and I find I have less energy than on 1mg per kg (which gave me so much energy and good mood!)
you're so right, too much of a good thing is bad for everything, even water! I take a daily Target Therapy pill (Tagrisso first but currently Afatinib) and the dosage also as to be worked on. studies actually showed a small amount is much more effective than a higher dose. this drug could be life-threatening at high dose (just like chemo or radiation), I do get worse side effects when we tried to up the dosage. so yeah, dosage is everything! and it's all personal, so yeah 1g of oil for everyone and every day? I just have a hard time believing it until I see studies to prove it.
I did a lot of life changes (exercise daily, went organic plant-based and ditched all processed food, checked for vitamins deficiencies, ditched my super stressful job and all stress in my life)
not too keen on added sugar, but I get my sugars from fruits and vegetables. healthy cells do need sugar and carbs! by "starving" the cancer, well, you take the risk of starving healthy cell as well...
at first, I tried keto for a few days (youtube influence) then read lots of studies and it turns out it's the worse diet you could do for cancer or anyone really. well, studies show it can be beneficial at short term for some stuff, but long term? it's a disaster on the body. studies show plant-based people are the ones surviving cancer the longest, that really opened my eyes on nutrition! and well, the nutrition switch did give me energy, and a healthier glow. I believe in plants :)
as for my DX it's stage 4 lung cancer with brain mets. never smoked in my life, and I come from a family of smokers which zero lung cancer history, but they all also smoked cannabis so that piqued my interest.
I'm not relying on the oil only for treatment, studies again show there is a synergic force with cannabis and conventional treatment (chemo, radiation) it just makes them more effective it seems and easier to deal with. caution though: studies also showed one should not use oil or even CBD when doing Immunotherapy, it counteracts the effect it seems.
started the oil only recently (2 months ago) and I've been a daily Target Theary drug since March 2020, also had Targeted Radiation for the Brain Mets. (again tiny radiation focus on specified areas has been shown to be best than doing whole brain radiation, again... dosage.... sure flowing the brain with radiation might work but the sequels are real)
would love to see any documentation you have to share. it's so hard to find people actually taking the time to read studies and educating themselves when doing the oil protocol, most just keep repeating the same old myth info found on FB and such... I mean, there are researchers in Spain and Israel studying Cannabis and Cancer for years now, and they have debunked all the RSO myths (THC makes estrogen cancer worse, CBD counter interacts THC, only THC kills Cancer, etc...) also, we have to address that Cannabis was much less potent when that infamous Rick came up with the dosage, so does it really translate to 1g of current oil? and what THC/CBD levels? all oils are wildly different. hence you can't think one dosage is true for all oils and for everyone.
I myself have compiled studies but focusing on the estrogen issue (as I'm female and go scared by the RSO talking heads) and lung cancer. I hope that could be useful to some people:

of course, most studies are not on humans, and mice results do not always translate to the same result in humans. still, it's hopeful stuff, no wonder why more and more human studies and trials are happening now.
I find it interesting also that veterinarians are more aware that cannabis can be useful alongside treatment, they are more aware than human doctors! and they also seem to come to the conclusion that 1mg/kg is a good dosage:

I guess we are more willing to test on our pets than on ourselves, I get it. it's all a scary journey.
I've seen that dosage on other mice studies as well. and for the few human trials using drugs that synthesize THC or CBD, I never saw a dosage at 1g per day (and not taking in consideration the person's weight).
really, the 1g is a myth in my opinion, for any drug you need to take into account the weight of a person and current physical condition. it could really be counterproductive to be too high, it's so essential for cancer patients to be active, the ones stuck in bed won't do so well, compared to the ones walking the hospital grounds while doing their chemo. and I KNOW how hard it can be to find the energy to remain active (or freaking simply cook and do groceries). or even find the energy to find and read studies, especially after you had brain radiation (took me 9 months to fully recover there).
besides weight, a person can be just more sensitive to a drug than another, so yeah, no silver bullet. maybe the oil is all Placebo and so what? Placebo is real and works for any treatment ;)
I don't care much for the RSO parrots who refuse to discuss studies, but people not going through the cancer adventure and screaming at us it's a scam and snake oil is also not helpful.
just like nutrition, activity, relaxation is helpful to any cancer treatment, why would cannabis not be helpful as well? we don't claim it's a 100% cure for all. hell, even chemo or surgery is never a 100% cure...
I just want to post here to share what info I've found and try to find people with experience and who also have interesting references to share.
@Wee Zard how is your friend doing? I remember you mention putting her on 1mg/kg?
