Rick Simpson oil plus

[Soloma]

Rick Simpson oil is derived from an alchemical process. Researching alchemy leads one to find that alchemists say tinctures are not the strongest plant medicines, which is what is used to make rso.

Let me explain a little further. A tincture is simply the plant matter, raw or dried that has been soaked with a solvent, hopefully everclear or grappa. Usually the plant matter is discarded and the alcohol is now considered a tincture because it has leeched the medicinal properties from the plant.

Alchemists say this is a beginner medicine and to truly have a complete medicine, one needs to process the aforementioned discarded plant matter. The process involves burning the plant matter to a grey-white ash and then combining it with distilled spring water.

This ash distilled spring water mixture is then distilled seven times, each time adding back in the condensate to the ash. After the seventh time (this is to achieve full potential, you can most likely see results by doing this once) the ash would be separated from the water and now discarded or hopefully composted.

This spring water infused with the "salt" of the plant is left out to evaporate and said to be corrosive! The "salt" that will be left over will be ground fine in a mortar and pestle then combined with the cannabis tincture.

This becomes the mother tincture or spagyric which is said to be a more complete medicine than the tincture because it has the "body" (salt) of the plant reunited with it`s "soul" (oil/chlorophyll) contained within the "spirit" (universal solvent/everclear).

I propose that since a spagyric is a more complete alchemical medicine, Rick Simpson oil made from a cannabis spagyric would be more medicinally beneficial than rso made from a tincture. I would call this rsoplus.

I have been asking, might it make sense to treat our physical ailments with the physical aspect of the plant? Would a cbd rich plant like ac/dc produce significantly more "salts" or "body" of the plant via the aforementioned methods of calcination, distillation and evaporation?

Combining this concentration method with proper genetics and proper decarb/carb to produce the desired medicine profile should produce the most potent, effective medicine possible.

This method could be and is used for any herb, alchemists believe seven spagyrics aligned with the planets and infused with the alchemists intent will purify the alchemist, lead him to enlightenment. Lead to gold, allegory for reaching our highest potential on our spiritual journey through alchemy.

Seems like there is science to back up their claim to intention, not to mention it is obvious tinctures and oil`s derived from those tinctures work well enough. What else might the alchemists be right about???

THE INTENTION EXPERIMENT

The Germination Intention Experiments

Since June 2007, The Intention Experiment has been carrying out a
series of ‘Germination Intention Experiments’ with noted
psychologist Dr. Gary Schwartz and his laboratory team at the
University of Arizona to test whether intention can affect the growth
of plants.
We were inspired by the work of Canadian psychologist Bernard
Grad, who had had carried out several studies showing that seeds
irrigated with water held by a healer had a faster germination rate
and growth than controls (International Journal of Parapsychology, 1964; 6:
473-98).

British researcher Serena Roney-Dougal and parapsychologist Jerry
Solfvin had also tested whether healing intention sent by a healer to
seeds could be used to affect the health and growth of lettuce
plants on a commercial organic farm.
In their first study, the seeds given intention didn’t sprout any
faster or grow larger, but they were healthier and had less fungal
disease and slug damage than the controls (Journal of the Society for
Psychical Research, 2002; 66: 129-43). In a replication study, however,
they’d showed enhanced growth, as well as health (Journal of
Parapsychology, 2003:67: 279-98)
We selected barley seeds – the food of choice of most livestock, and
a healthy grain for humans. Dr. Schwartz and Mark Boccozzi, Dr.
Schwartz’s lab technician, planned to prepare four sets of barley
seeds — one set of seeds, and three controls — to eliminate chance
findings.

Six experiments thus far

Thus far, we have run six Germination Intention Experiments – one
via the Internet, with participants from countries all over the world,
and five others in front of Lynne McTaggart’s audiences, of various
sizes and locations around the world. These included participants
over the Internet, plus audiences in Sydney, Australia (600
participants), Palm Springs, California (130), Rheinbeck, New York
(100), Hilton Head, North Carolina (500) and Austin, Texas (120).
In each of these experiments, we asked the audience to choose one
of four sets of seeds (30 seeds per set) and then sent an intention
for the seeds to grow “at least 3 cm by the fourth day of growing”.

Once we were finished, Dr. Schwartz’s lab technician Mark Boccozzi
(who was kept blind to the set selected) planted the 120 seeds
under standardized conditions. At the end of five days, the seeds
were harvested and their lengths measured in millimeters.

Let’s call this kind of procedure the ‘Intention’ Studies.

As a second control condition, with each Intention Experiment, Mark
ran a separate Control Experiment. On these occasions, he selected
and prepared another 120 seeds into four sets, assigned one set to
be the ‘intention’ set (even though no distant intention was to be
sent), and, as with the other experiments, planted the seeds, then
harvested and measured them after five days.

So this experiment was to act as a second-tier control – a control of
the control. So we’ll call these the ‘non-intention’ Control Studies.
In total, the number of seeds tested was 1440.

Complex analyses

Dr. Schwartz then conducted a variety of complex analyses of the
growth of all six Intention Experiments and the six Control
Experiments. He compared overall growth of targeted seeds with
that of all the not-targeted seeds, the seed growth of all seeds in
the Intention Experiments versus those in all the Control
Experiments, and all seeds sent intention in the Intention
Experiments plus those assigned ‘intention seeds’ in the Control
Experiments) versus all seeds that were not targeted in all 12
experiments.

A number of fascinating results emerged. Firstly, the experiment
showed that the intention had a robust effect.

As an overall average, the seeds sent intention grew 56 mm,
compared with 48 mm for the non-targeted seeds. This means that
seeds sent intention, on average, were 8 mm (about a third of an
inch) higher than the controls. In contrast, the seeds run in the
control Intention Experiments only varied by 2 mm.
This effect was statistically significant (p<0.007). This means that
there is a 0.7 per cent possibility that we arrived at this result by
simple chance. Anything less than a p value of 0.05 is generally
considered statistically significant.

Dr. Schwartz also found a highly significant effect when comparing
the targeted seeds on the Intention Experiment days with those
targeted on the Control Experiments. Those targeted during real

Intention Experiments grew significantly higher than those targeted
in the Control Experiments (p<0.003).

However, there was no different between target seeds and nontargeted seeds during the Control Experiments. Those seeds labeled ‘intention seeds’ in the Control Experiments grew about the same
size — in fact, 2 mm shorter — than the non-targeted seeds, a nonsignificant difference.

Intention ‘grouping’

However, our biggest effect of all occurred when comparing the
results of all plant growth in the actual Intention Experiments
against all plant growth in the Control Experiments.
We discovered that on the days we sent intention, all the plants
grew higher than all the plants in the Control Experiments, with the
plants sent intention the highest of all.
This effect was highly significant (p<0.0000001), with a 0.00001
per cent possibility that we arrived at this result by simple chance.

Scattergun effect

This kind of ‘scattergun’ effect occurred in an experiment by Dutch
psychologist Eduard Van Wijk, who works with German physicist
Fritz-Albert Popp of the International Institute for Biophysics. Van
Wijk placed a jar of a simple algae, near a healer and his patient,
then measured the photon emissions of the algae during healing
sessions and periods of rest.

After analyzing the data, he discovered remarkable alterations in
the photon count of the algae. The quality of emissions significantly
changed during the healing sessions, as though the algae were
being bombarded with light. There also seemed to be changes in
the rhythm of the emissions, as though the algae had become
attuned to a stronger source of light.

Information from the environment

Our experiments also suggest that living things register information
from the entire environment, and not simply between two
communicating entities.
This series of studies suggests that distance from which intention is
sent doesn’t have any bearing on the results. A group of people
scattered around the globe produced the same effect as a group of
600 located thousands of miles away from the target.

According to this data, the size of the group didn’t have any
bearing, either; even a tiny group of 100 in a room in upstate New
York had been able to profoundly affect a batch of seeds more than
a thousand miles away.

Power and experience

The only important factor appears to be experience. The audience
in Hilton Head, South Carolina, which included 500 long-time
practitioners of Healing Touch, produced the most profound effect.
These were people who were practiced in the use of intention.
This suggests that intention, practice and experience count.

The results of these six experiments were presented at the Society
for Scientific Exploration’s annual meeting in June 2008.

 

[Soloma]

Hoping to generate some discussion, I imagine there are many rso users and makers on this forum. Not much additional work for a possible improvement in medicine due to the additional extraction method. It makes sense to me and I have generated some good discussion about it on other forums, hoping to do the same here.
