Growing Against Alzheimers - A Purely Organic Experience

[Lady G2HM]

Hehe, I spent my 420th post here with you guys, hell yeah

Yaaaay, you're my first...lol

Picked a great spot Horti

*Hot spot for 420 love b*tches

Thats pretty sweet! .

*I'm honoured.

I'm glad you think so too tons of soul & love in Grow2HealMe's journal

and Pw I dunno how I didn't see this, but never let that culture or heritage die.

*this is probably the one place in life where I know I can be real...how lucky am I?

Plants are looking amazing G2HM! CBDream a first grow for you? Im interested in that or Critical Cure.

*Nope, this CBDream is probably my 4th time growing this strain and it's my go to for oil strains right now. It's 6% THC 6% CBD, which is perfect for neuro oil and overall body healing.

*Can't go wrong with critical cure, I'm gonna be experimenting with new CBD strains as well, after this one. It's good not to limit on just one strain, but CBDream is sooo easy to grow, but isn't my last choice of strains FOR SURE.

*Also, I made MB2 oil all last night, is why I slept in today. I got pics, and new strain blend I'm gonna try. All pics will be up tomorrow. I'll have a look at my other cbd strains and take a pic of what I have to see if you have the same. EXCITING, I just wish I could grow them all out at the same time, but patients must have patience...lol.

Looking great in the tent G2HM! Experimenting is fun eh?

Your notes have been great, your study has you finding some really interesting stuff.

Kushy goes well with browsing 420 before bed! Are you thinking about taking any of yours later than you have before? I bet you could take the head effects down lower but do you think it would get a little too stony?

@ Shawnee *answers below

G2HM,

Girl, you make me weep....not only are you posting very informative information, but your words give me an insight into your heart and soul, and it's beautiful....I never would dream you have ALZ....not to mention, you grow some kick ass plants....so blessed that I stumbled upon your journal....

*Gosh, if can feel any type of support from me, then please take comfort in my words that what you're going to be okay, now you have options to help yourself. What you're going through is super tough to handle on your own, with partner. Your story is a gift we all treasure and learn from. You're sooooo welcome here...

*It's great that you say it's like I don't have ALZ (paraphrasing). I have a rare form of ALZ called "Frontal Temporal Dementia." After extensively researching this, it's a demential for young people. It affects us differently then aging dementia. Although most of our symptoms are the same, the disease attacks the front of my brain first, then works it's way to other areas.

*FTD is made up of several (I think 4) medical syndromes that present themselves consecutively, not all at once and in different ways than the Age-based ALZ. They put it under the ALZ umbrella because our end stage is exactly the same and we are to be treated with the exact pills, because they are inhibitors, not cures.

*Also, in my former career I was an advocate, producer and writer. I pushed myself to have a high functioning career but I lost my career that when all this stuff happened. So my high functioning stays with me, but if you were to have a conversation with me you would see and hear it immediately. This is really great to teach the difference between FTD and age-related Dementia. Great discussion this is.

Yesterday I took my mom to the doc and to have her hair done....mid way thru the hair thing, she did not know who I was....she thought I was her "friend" and her "driver." I had to take my ID out to show her I was her daughter....I came home just drained emotionally....you absolutely inspire me to advocate for myself because I see the alternative if I don't.....I don't have a husband or kids to back me up, so I'm "IT". Thank you for being you [/QUOTE]

*Your tutorial confirmed my experiment just after I started it. Then when you showed me up close, I got excited that I was going to follow in your footsteps, as best as I can. I mean, I'm nowhere near your level, but your words are so easy to understand.

* I have other physical medical conditions that would take too long to list so this kush helps me relax my tummy so I can eat without digestive aids. I have diverticular disease, ibs, etc, all very painful to everyday living. So the KKush should balance it all. And then at night, I can take extra to put me to sleep, then wake up all rested. I'm gonna make the oil, just KKush too, so it will be pure Kush and I can judge it as that. The oil I made last night is a blend, so we'll see. So much to do, so little time...hahahahaha

 

[Lady G2HM]

Double post, I must be excited!

 

[Lady G2HM]

MB2 Oil Recipe and pics coming up today! Finally caught up on my sleep and back to writing up my oil procedure. Have a shhhmoky day!

 

[Eyes4grandpa]

WhooooHoooo! SO looking forward to this recipe! Take your time, GH.

Shawnee, I know exactly what you mean in relation to this experience with your mom. My dad is now past that point in his dementia, but if I can offer a word of advice without judgement...don't prove to your mother who you are. You are her friend and her driver. That's what was important to her. Proving that you are her daughter was about your sense of self and not hers, and it could have made her feel "less than" or foolish for forgetting who you are. This is part of your changing dynamic from daughter to care-giver, and is the most difficult thing for children to do.

It took me a very long time to get to the point where I am able to allow my dad to know what he knows and not know what he doesn't. I let him lead and I just offer joy along the way. I have finally come to see that our relationship, while entirely different from the one we had as father and son, is still one based in love.

You give me too much credit G2HM! I'm learning right alongside you.

Sorry I didn't really phrase my question properly - what I meant was, do you think you'll let any of your Kushy plants go longer in flower before you chop them down. My thought is that it might further reduce the head effects and pronounce the body effects, I just wonder if it would get too stoney?

I think making oil from Kushy is in my future too - I have IBS too, and it seems like a good fit for IBS treatment to get things settled. I eat almost exclusively low FODMAP to try to keep things calm these days. It's a constant struggle. I didn't realize you had gastro / digestive issues as well. Glad I never had to face you on the pitch, you're way tougher than me!

Decarb & MB2 Oil Dosing Recipe - G2HM - 1.0 “Fresh Harvest MB2 OILzheimers Method” (Oct 19,2017)

Why did I create this variation of this MB2 recipe?

There are so many purposeful recipe’s out there, it’s hard to choose which one is most beneficial to someone with a Neuro Degenerative Disease, and to the caregivers, whom need the easiest more efficient way to create oil.

You will hear people comment and add to my recipe, just remember, it’s different when you have a broken brain, details are not so obvious, but terribly important. It’s very hard for me to figure out scientific processes, so I did a step by step process that Brain Patients can do themselves without the scientific jargon that sometimes confuses me.

Also, this formula is for people who are starting oil for the first time. Some people like to double and triple plant material and that is up to the patient, just be mindful of your limits.

If you do have the money to get this machine, I highly recommend it for patients with disabilities. This will take the guess work and manual labour out of making oil. Please, if you’re going to buy one, please pm me for a discount link or use (“gummybear”) so you can save 25 dollars. Every cent matters, this will give you consistent results and you can even experiment, safely, without compromise.

----------------Your ingredient list--------------------

Fresh Harvest MB2 Oil – Feel free to mix your strains to address more than one medical condition.

1. 1-ounce BUD or 1.5-ounce of Trim & Leaves – The more bud you use the stronger the potency becomes.

*Please wash your plant material and hang to dry for 4 hours immediately after harvest, then place in a baggie for freezing.

*IMPORTANT - Try to keep as much as the Crystals in-tact because we need them for the oil. If you’re too rough with your plant material it will lessen the potency. You may be accidentally washing your money down the drain so be nice to your buds.

2. 1 teaspoon

You know that Lecithin is used for “Lecithin is a fat that is essential in the cells of the body. It can be found in many foods, including soybeans and egg yolks. Lecithin is taken as a medicine and is also used in the manufacturing of medicines as a natural binder. Lecithin is also used for treating memory disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.”

*Bet you didn’t know that. Yet another brain aid to help with address Neuro Degenerative Diseases. Why don’t they prescribe this to us in the medical field instead of prescribing brain meds that have deadly side effects? Rhetorical question, just wanted to prove that there are more brain benefits than we know in making healing medicinal oil.

3. 2 cups (500ml)

Organic Omega 3 enriched Organic, Extra Virgin, Olive Oil, to help keep my blood pressure down and start building brain cells at a faster rate than the brain degeneration. Ingredient directly medically recommended by doctors for Neuro Genesis. Doctors can’t argue this. This has a savoury profile when completed.

ORRR

2 cups (500ml)

Organic Coconut Oil that is directly used for headaches, migraines, ALZ, FTD and Brain Cell Regeneration that Doctors recommend as well for overall mental health. This has a semi-sweet profile when completed.

4. Magical Butter Machine aka MB2e - 420 SPONSOR
(Comes with instructions and a brown outside box for stealth shipping)

Safety Gloves & Sanitary Handling
*All hands on deck!

----------------Let’s Decarb First!--------------------


Decarboxylation for Dosing THC/CBD for EVOO/Coconut Oil

Comments:

*Use a cookie tray to spread your botanicals out as evenly as possible for consistency, all equal size. Line the tray with foil and place exactly in the middle of the oven, you may have to adjust your baking racks. HANDLE your meds the way you want to be treated, with respect and care. You need those crystals to make it into the oil, avoid heavy handling and wear gloves for sanitary reasons.

*I recommend (Decarb first, "230 F for 1hr & 10min”). If you are using minute amounts, please adjust the decarb time accordingly because you don’t want to burn it. Keep in mind, eventually you want the oil to smother the herb to maximize your potency, which is what you want to experiment with until you reach your desired effects.

*To those of you using stalks, although they are totally usable, from my experience you may want to cut them down smaller so you get through the thick skin. Also, you don’t want the stalks to cut through the cheesecloth when you strain your oil. Be careful, avoid using stalks if you don’t have the right tools to do this safely. The less labour to make oil, the less chance of making a mistake.

*DECARB WARNING – no matter whether you cover your decarb tray in the oven, the smell will fill up your place moderately. Having windows open helps. Doing this at night when people are sleeping is what I do. There are toys out there that do the decarb for you like “Nova” and masks the smell but they are over your budget, nothing wrong with the oven, I use it. But it’s good you know there are 420 cooking inventions to help people with disabilities like you and me to get the best bang for our buck.

*THE SMELL - There will a remarkable robust smell coming from the decarb almost like chestnuts when they are roasted, turns the herb into a full body aroma that is not mistakable. Like a properly roasted cup of coffee, the aroma grabs you by the nose and drool commences. You will smell it and it’s devine. That is a great nasal way to know you’ve reached your desired decarb result. The smell travels from your botanicals to roasted herb and that process tells you your meds are ready for your oil.

*The decarbed botanicals do not become hot, they are warm to touch and that’s it. But please wear oven gloves at all times, you already know that, but in case someone else is reading that hasn’t done this process.

*When you take it out, let it cool on the counter, put foil on top if you’re leaving it for a while, the tray will be hot so be careful. Do not put decarb into the fridge for this method. Leave decarb on the tray ready for use.

*Leaves and buds take different amounts of time to decarb, based on different shapes and density. Make sure your buds are no bigger than a thumb print, breaking it down by hand, do not grind, because you want the trichomes intact because of the healing terpenes it contains. Preferably, you end up with a crumble between your fingers thus allowing the oil to breakdown this material evenly. The oil is going to breakdown this plant matter even further.

*If you are making various butter and/or food sprinkle recipes, sometimes it calls for full emulsion where they grind the herb. Even though decarb processes rarely vary, the handling of the herb and the quality of your product will drastically impact your potency for concentrated cannabis oil. Butter you’re going for flavor profiles so you don’t have to handle with care. Dosing Oil you are going for potency profiles, in my personal opinion. Both are handling Cannabinoids & Flavonoids just in different carrier oils, but you need more terpenes to be intact for when you make dosing oil because of the pure medicinal value it carries.

* I don’t have tons of money to be fiddling around with lighter doses. I just exercise micro dosing and problem solved, attack the pain not the wallet. This is where I feel the medical system does us a disservice. Pharma robs us patients blind with pain blockers that really might address the symptoms not the actual diagnosis and cause deadly side effects.

*I now grow individual plants for bud, and individual plants for oil. I prefer to use trim, popcorn bud and some primo bud. I like to use the whole plant instead of just part. But if you’re only able to buy bud, you don’t have a choice and it is the best. But as a grower, you can start looking ahead to harvest time and look forward to using most of your plant for oil.

*THC will address global pain. CBD will address global inflammation. Longer dosing schedules will have better results. BOTH TCH & CBD must be partners as they work together to address your symptoms. That’s why it’s good to get a strain that has a 1:1 ratio so you have enough of both compounds to feel better overall when you have more than one medical condition.

----------------Let’s Make MB2 Dosing Oil Now--------------------

Comments:

Why do we need this recipe? When you purchase the MB2, the instructions are somewhat vague for whatever reasons. I had more questions than answers in the beginning, then my research revealed the best of all MB2 oil experiences by other growers. This is my condensed version of all the recipe’s out there to create the potency we need to attack diseases and all medical conditions. I have tweaked it for brain maximum benefit.

*Get everything laid out on the counter.

* Add 2 cups of organic oil
(If you want to make less then use the stove – top method I recommend)

*Do not exceed Max Line

*Add 1 teaspoon of Lecithin

* Add Bud First - Add Trim and Leaves Last
* Make sure your plant material is covered by the oil and meets the “Min” line on the inside of this machine.

*Set your temperature to the middle button which says 160F.
*Set your time to 8 hours for full potency.
*If you hear your machine wizzin’ and blendin’ it’s started.
*Rest and relax!

*Your finished medicine is very hot!

*Strain your oil carefully using the Love Glove.
*Squeeze out the goodness, it will be hot.

*Let oil cool down while you’re cleaning up.
*Place covered oil in the refrigerator for 24hours.

*This is what my oil looked like after 24 hours of refrigeration.
*Feel free to strain your oil with cheesecloth to remove more plant material, but I’m all organic and welcome the plant material that made it through the initial strainer. All personal preference and purity.

*Keep refrigerated until ready to use.

----------------More to think about?----------------

How do you want to dose?
*Be responsible, exercise micro-dosing in the beginning and track your progress.
*It can be too strong for people who have not tried THC yet.
*Start with drops first, then to 5 drops = 1ml>2ml>3ml>4ml>5ml, low and slow.
*Dark Amber bottles with droppers (with oral syringe/funnel )
ORRR
*Cannacaps with tray and Pipette?
*I will be updating this recipe over time with new recipes and discoveries.
And
*Use at your own risk, this is purely for medicinal purposes only.
*DISCLAIMER - You could suddenly become healthy and feel better every day.

Shawnee, I know exactly what you mean in relation to this experience with your mom. My dad is now past that point in his dementia, but if I can offer a word of advice without judgement...don't prove to your mother who you are. You are her friend and her driver. That's what was important to her. Proving that you are her daughter was about your sense of self and not hers, and it could have made her feel "less than" or foolish for forgetting who you are. This is part of your changing dynamic from daughter to care-giver, and is the most difficult thing for children to do.

It took me a very long time to get to the point where I am able to allow my dad to know what he knows and not know what he doesn't. I let him lead and I just offer joy along the way. I have finally come to see that our relationship, while entirely different from the one we had as father and son, is still one based in love.

InTheShed,

Thank you so much for your advice....it makes total sense to me....my mind doesn't work like hers, so your insight of my selfishness makes me pause and see the need to view the world from her perspective....such wise words from you that are certainly taken to heart.....

 

[Pennywise]

Thanks for the recipe G2HM, ill be making oil soon

 

[Shawnee]

G2HM,

Oh lord have mercy....what a comprehensive reference of how to make the oil....I haven't read it yet, but I can't wait and thank you so much, you rock....

 

[Lady G2HM]

*You're very welcome. Anything to return the favours.

G2HM,

Oh lord have mercy....what a comprehensive reference of how to make the oil....I haven't read it yet, but I can't wait and thank you so much, you rock....

*I hope it helps you soooo much. I hope it helps everybody.

 

[Dabby Duck]

My father in laws friend thanks you from the bottom of their hearts. She is finding some relief with a daily ingestion of your recipe you so graciously gave to me for them. Also she is taking your advice on the pressure and is gaining even more independence. Starting very slow as you suggested. She does say she also feels more healthy in general and I'm sorry for this but a lot more regular she states.
Wishing you love girl. You wonderful healer you

 

[Derbybud]

So fresh harvest out of the magic budder machine. I like it.

 

[Lady G2HM]

@discussion about Shawnee's mom - Thank you for sharing all of your experiences. Even I didn't know that. I think my husband can understand my mixed up sentences more than anyone else can. Just keep that communication open as much as you can.

Just dropping by to wish wellness G2HM hope you've had a great day

*Well I had a great day of writing and headaches, hahahaha, any day that I open my eyes is a GREAT day. Thanks HS, you made me smile.

You give me too much credit G2HM! I'm learning right alongside you.

Sorry I didn't really phrase my question properly - what I meant was, do you think you'll let any of your Kushy plants go longer in flower before you chop them down.

I eat almost exclusively low FODMAP to try to keep things calm these days. It's a constant struggle. I didn't realize you had gastro / digestive issues as well. Glad I never had to face you on the pitch, you're way tougher than me!

*I am riding her off into the sunset aka I'm going for full amber on all 3 KKush Clones - More kushion for the pushion...lol. Sorry my filters in my brain are gone when I have headaches.

*Sorry I didn't understand, hopefully my answer is more related.... I didn't anticipate this strain of Kush being clearheaded, so the first time I harvested her early, cause I don't know ANY kushs' that are clear headed, thought I misread the info. But alas she is such a great strain for me, I'm going full AMBER alert on this girl and will hope for the best. I'm not sure if it will be TOO much, I'll just have to experiment right DW...lol. So much fun!

*I was fearless on the pitch, I didn't care if I ran someone over. I did coach a mens soccer team and they pushed me my limits. With the way I was raised, I didn't feel pain on the soccer field. If I wasn't bleeding by the end of my game then I didn't work hard enough. Ironic, I would never wish blood on my opponent, it was just a measurement of our toughness to take it hits.

*You remind me of such great times as an athlete. I still have my trophies, medals and ribbons. My husband won't let me throw them out, he wants to hang them all up to make me smile but there is no room...hahahaha. Big hug.

*OMGosh that just made my day. Wow I helped another brainiac. I feel so lucky to do that. I'm glad she's regular that is the name of the game here. That is a great sign that her body is adapting to the juice for healing of pain and inflammation. I'm learning so much DD, thank you for letting me know she's doing better. How blessed am I that I get to help others overcome adversity. I can't wait to tell my husband.
