With the residual damage to his body from 16 surgeries, an abdominal wall incision hernia the size of a child's football (which has since become irreparable ) and several cancers, he is in agony 24/7. With the NC laws as they are, he can no longer take 3-4 a day because UNC won't prescribe that many at a time. If his should get stolen, i can't imagine how he would manage. I feel for you, my friend. Lawmakers and the average person have NO idea the horrific situation folks who suffer from intense chronic pain are facing. Nor, I think, do they care.Does it neutralize the effects of opiate withdrawal?
Over the years, i have created a balm made from several different plant extracts, including frankincense resin extract and wintergreen plus several others to apply topically to those areas that flare up from my fibromyalgia. I just made a big batch that I would be more than glad to share with you. It actually helps. Let me know
Hmmmm....... First, only take 1/2 pill at a time and put off taking the next half for as long as you can.
The three extracts I think would help are ginger root, valerian root and frankincense tincture. You want the entire goodness from the plants, not distilled stuff.
You can make tea by slicing ginger root in steeping water for a couple of hours. Ginger helps keep the stomach calm, relieves nausea and etc. Then just sip on it with a little honey if it is too strong. About a quart of water and 10 1/4" slices of fresh ginger.....
There has to be some natural herb farms/markets up your way. I know Red Moon Herbs is in Asheville; a bit out of the way for you. There's Gaia Farms in Brevard (to find real valerian natural products).
I can send you frankincense tincture and extract. You put tincture drops in water and extract oil on your chest. Frankincense CALMS the body and the mind. I get mine from a guy in Canada who actually travels to Africa and the Near Eastern countries and gathers the Frankincense resin with native women in their villages. Eliminates the middle man.
The balm I was referring to is great for body pains........ Hence, why I do not need to take pills for my pain. Plus I am a nut on putting tinctures into my water every night.
Ok, end of my ramble.
Just let me know if/what I can do for you cuz I will..... PM me if you prefer.....
