Hello SweetSue,
thank you for sharing your opinions and for your words of support and encouragement .
" ... we incorporate competitive inhibition into the protocol. This way the liver enzymes are already tied up when the cannabinoids get there and hopefully we stand a better chance of getting through unmolested. ..."
Something more to look into for me in a greater detail.
"... Have you looked into adding a carrier oil to the CCO to increase bioavailability? If not, we can talk later. ..."
This is new for me, could you please elaborate on it or point me to some place where this topic has already been discussed.
"... The primary cannabinoids we're looking at here, CBD and THC, play off each other in a delightful synergistic dance. I personally can't think of how it could be a problem using them together and I haven't seen the evidence that backs up those contentions that separate dosing is more beneficial. Quite frankly, we're all still guessing at it. Someone with more insight may be able to help you with this question. ..."
I keep reading a lot of conflicting information regarding the effects of THC and CBD and their interplay. So for now I'll use both oils until I learn more or until somebody else's opinion would indicate otherwise. For example Rick Simpson doesn't seem to care much about CBD: about 6:30 in Questions for Rick Simpson - YouTube
" ... You get this euphoria because you're ingesting ... "
How long does this euphoria last? For example, two days ago I took my last dose at lunchtime, didn't take more because of my dizziness. But yesterday I still woke up dizzy and the dizziness lasted until early afternoon when it was cleared with an intravenous vit. C infusion. Here I'm wondering whether it was the vit. C doing something or maybe the dizziness diminished with my blood being thinned with physiological solution in which the vitamin diluted (no CCO dose yesterday prior to that because of doctor's appointment).
Once again, I'm a very skinny fellow, hardly any body fat. Also wondering what happens to CCO in me when there is not much body fat to store the oil.
These days I'm experimenting with suppositories made with cocoa butter, 3 grains of CCO in each dose, doses taken after meals.
Thanks again, SweetSue. Best,
