Re: was Muscle testing now Mom won't eat

Fish oil supplementation can help with this a bit. The best solution is

the medical use of marijuana. Hopefully you live where this is legal,

otherwise you might just " stick your neck out " . A bit of marijuana

extracted into coconut oil over low heat (127 degrees) can bring back

appetite in these cases. Can be mixed into juice.

Hi

That problem is called caquexia, and is very common among very ill people. There

is evidence that Cannabis help with the appetite, works in special receptors in

the brain. you should contact a Dr that treats people with Cannabis.

good luck

Hi Mike,

My mom has gotten to the point, in her disease, where she does not want to eat.

How would you, as a doctor, recommend handling something like that?

Mike, can you elaborate on how to do this?

Thanks!

Hello Houckj,

If you are talking about the fish oil (which I doubt), simply give a

teaspoon in the morning and a teaspoon in the evening. Carlson's is a

good brand.

As to the cannabinoids...heat some coconut oil (1/2 tablespoon) in a

small pan (tilt it) until it melts. This won't take long, since it

is liquid at 75 degrees. Drop a pinch of marijuana bud into it

grinding it with your fingers into powder. Stir with a spoon for a

few minutes, or until you reach the smoke point of the oil. The oil

should turn green. Pour the contents into a blender with some juice

once the oil has cooled, but is still liquid. Blend briefly and

serve. Make sure the foam on top gets consumed, as that is where

much of the active components are.

Mike, this is GREAT information! I have had trouble with weight loss due to

loss of appetite and, while my appetite is back now, I seem to not want my

typical " healthy " fare of lean meat and veggies, so need to make it so I want to

eat anything in sight!

Does this work better than marinol? And does this mess with your head like

smoking pot does (never really did like the way it made me feel back in the

day)? How often would one use it ... once a day or any time you need to eat?

Thanks so much!

You'll have to play with it a bit to get the dose right. Everyone

has different numbers of cannabinoid receptors and diferent strains

and sources of plants vary. You can get the boost for appetite

without getting whacked out.

M> How often would one use it ... once a day or any time you need to eat?

Once a day should do it.

You are welcome.
