Guest guest Posted December 24, 2000 Report Share Posted December 24, 2000 I concur with Z'ev about the effect of pot on the yin. When I was an intern in Portland, OR at OCOM, it seems to me that we had LOADS of patients who smoked pot regularly, and not for any particular medicinal effects. Typically, the patients I saw had bright red, dry, and cracked tongues. They also exhibited a lot of anxiety, such as fear of leaving the house, and there was a lot of insomnia. Also, with xu heat building, they'd also often twitch, tap their feet incessently, talk continuously, and have difficulty relaxing during the treatments. Pot does seem to plunder the yin in general, and I think it has a direct effect on Heart yin.

But I believe it can be utilized medicinally by crafting a formula that offsets it adverse effects. It is safer than narcotics and may be useful in certain pain conditions. Eclectics placed it in between herbs like willow bark and opium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 25, 2000 Report Share Posted December 25, 2000 Specifically joint pain (at least in Hawai'i), bi pain or perhaps blood stagnation pain, I don't know which. Try to figure the energetics for gynomastia (breast growth in men)...

But just in case, ... gynecomastia was never caused by marijuana. That was just one more scare tactic in the seventies to scare away pubescent teens from the stuff. Seems to have worked as good as all the other lies we tell our kids. When will we learn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 There was some old medical research with Niacin and treatment of various mental disorders. They used high doses. What I know is that for some folks Niacin does help control the mood components of what might be either bipolar disorder or other. There is something calming about the afterflush...lol. Anecdotally, about the time I began using niacin (500mg tid) for cholesteral problems, I also stopped having the problems with severe depression that had cropped on and off for years... Dr. Ratan Singh [psych_58] Friday, February 25, 2005 10:40 AM sepp Cc: mhysmith; livelylonny; marijuana Thanks for the lot of feedback on marijuana. Sepp Hasslberger, thanks to you to suggest to add B1, Ca and Mg. I will do that. " Mary " , you said something else must have driven my son to marijuana as marijuana itself cannot cause psychosis. I think that was the case. " lonnie patton " has rightly thought there might have been some contamination in the marijuana used. I am sure of that. It must not have been pure marijuana. All the above might have been correct. But, having travelled through three years of different labels like schiz, schizoaffective, depression, bipolar following his 1-year history of marijuana smoking, where do we go? He has passed all the exams of the mainstream medical school, won prizes in debates and poetry (perhaps he was in hypomanic phase of bipolar?). He is still struggeling with bipolar condition. He gets into weekly cycles of depression for one week (exactly five days) and mild happiness the next week and back again. Regards.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 RATAN; I noticed your lengthy credentials at the bottom of your post. If your son was one of your clients, what would your treatment plan consist of??? Have you ever seen his test results and consulted with the psychologists/psychiatrists who performed these, using your own extensive knowledge and applying it to your son's case?? .. ============================================== ..

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 It seems to me that smoking anything would be hard on the lungs. Is there another way to use marijuana for healing? Linda Bumpas Light Beam Expressions Web Design Services to Help Your Light Shine Linda Ieneke van Houten <ienvan Wednesday, December 6, 2006 2:44:51 PM Re: Wanted for interviews:Young ADDers who left drugs behind Elsy, The call was for young people who are not taking ritalin or similar prescriptions for ADD anymore. Quite frankly, I think the only reason marihuana is illegal is because the Mafia has too much influence in government. This is an amazing plant with medicinal, nutritional, and industrial potential. If it were legal to have a few plants in your backyard it would be dirt cheap and not worth marketing illegally. There would also be no need to make it as insanely strong as I am told it is these days. For the record: I do NOT smoke it. It makes me want to eat and sleep, two activities at which I excell without the slightest help. Yes, I did inhale some back in the early seventies.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 --Marijuana helps to create an appetite for those on chemo. My friend says it helps relieve pressure in his eyes from glacoma. I soak it in rubbing alcohol and use it as a pain reliever and several people have been cured of rheumatiod arthritis and tennis elbow.- In , Linda Bumpas <lindabumpas wrote: > > It seems to me that smoking anything would be hard on the lungs.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi dont be misguided.. Marijuana is a intoxicant.. It gives temperory pain relief and you will become addicted and your health will become weak after some time.. Hence it is not encouraged.. Lot of intoxicants are pain relivers.. regards Mahesh N http://www.maheshnbiomedical.com <http://www.maheshnbiomedical.com> , " Ieneke van Houten " <ienvan wrote: > > It seems to me that smoking anything would be > hard on the lungs.
