RSO Evaluation/Review

(1/3) > >>

Sample provided courtesy of AciDBurN. Thank you!

Sample size: 1 mL syringe used over a 3-day period

Appearance/aroma/taste: Thick brown gel, sticky, gooey. Not much smell to speak of. Taste was slightly bitter and not at all unpleasant. It did leave a sensation on the tongue comparable in my mind as to the feeling of having eaten something seasoned with black pepper that left a little buzz on the tongue. But not a burning sensation.

Dosage: Started at a small line of gel the size of a grain of rice, but ended with best result at length of 1.5 grains of rice.

Mode: Oral. Tried both sublingual and wiped on top of tongue. Effects were the same either way.

Background: I had a failed back surgery on a herniated disk in my back, and have a bulging disk that is currently inoperable.  I have chronic pain in my back and left leg that can range from a constant nagging irritation all the way up to "Fuck Me Sideways" on a scale of 1 to 10. Pretty unpredictable, and changes literally with the weather. I take opiates three times daily for pain, and muscle relaxers twice a day to stop my leg from twitching due to nerve damage.

Adjustments: Stopped taking the pain meds during the evaluation period, and was able to cut by half use of the muscle relaxer.

Observations: On first use, the RSO took about an hour to begin working. It decreased pain by about half; I decided to up the dosage to the 1.5 grain of rice size for the remainder of the observation, and that dosage turned out to be perfect for me. Long story short, the oil brought major pain relief that lasted 5-6 hours for each dose. It brought the pain levels down to the point that I could still feel the areas where the effects of my injury present themselves, but they just registered as light pressure to my brain -not as pain.

To address the "stigma" of the medicine making someone feel high or too high, I have made a few notations: RSO made me feel very relaxed, and at first I was concerned that it would translate into couch lock, but it was very much to the contrary. Feeling relaxed, in this case, was not the same as one having all energy sapped from ones body. I still had plenty of energy to get things done that have to be done daily. Not to mention things like vacuuming the carpet, which normally causes me some inflammation and has to be done in small portions, was able to be done in one shot. I definitely had a slight head change, but was able to think more clearly than I can when I take my pain medicine.

Everyone is different, but Rick Simpson Oil has many health applications beyond pain management. The effects were impressive to me for the short duration I used it, even though I have pain flareups that might require higher doses or a different approach. I could get a lot more done (even in an employment setting) by reducing pain but remaining clear headed enough to perform tasks at hand. It would be far more efficacious than working a job while on opiates. I know that is something a lot of employers may take issue with as far as working under treatment, depending on the job.

In closing, thanks AciDBurN, for the opportunity to evaluate the effects. It was great not taking those pills for a few days. Seems there is a lot to discuss as far as treatments like Rick Simpson Oil go; I hope our government will take some positive steps and put some effort into the research that would surely improve and save lives.

I'm glad to hear this alternate treatment works, now if only it could be used by the public

i also have tried the RSO. I usually take about what you took, maybe a little more and it takes a while maybe 2+ hours for it to work. But when it does I feel great all around!
