#also those warts too months to get rid of cause they were too big to burn off

[foldingfittedsheets]

I think something a lot of other people can relate to is the way that you get so conditioned to discomfort that you stop registering it.

I remember sitting at the table with my family, eating dinner as a child. I’d try to eat, because of course I was hungry. But sometimes the flavor or texture was so repugnant that it moved into a category of Not Food.

“Two more bites before you can leave the table.”

“I can’t,” I’d say, trying to explain the impossibility.

But because I was a child they heard, “I won’t,” and made me sit at the table. I’d sit in dull agonized silence, bored and hungry for hours until bedtime when they’d give up. I’d hate myself for not eating and my parents for forcing me to sit there. The few forcefeeding moments ended in vomit.

They’d say, “If you don’t eat this you can’t eat a snack later,” and I moved past trying to communicate my discomfort into accepting that I’d just be hungry.

That state of affairs didn’t last, because my parents realized nothing could force me to eat so they catered to my palate, worrying they’d starve me. But the message stuck. If you can’t do anything about a situation, just accept the suffering.

A few years later my mother called me off the playground to ask, “Are you limping?”

I shrugged. My feet had hurt for a long time, but that was just the way things were now. My mom pulled my socks and shoes off and gasped. The soles of my feet were covered in huge painful planters warts.

“Why didn’t you say anything?!” She demanded but I could only shrug at her. I’d learned a long time ago that saying things about my discomfort didn’t matter, so now I had no words. Sometimes things hurt and sometimes they don’t. I simply accepted and did my best.

Now as an adult trying to learn to improve my own conditions can be hard. If I make food that I can’t eat I’ll force myself to sit at the counter still, full of guilt and self loathing, trying to will myself to eat it.

At first I needed my betrothed to gently take it away to present me with something I could eat. Now on my own I can usually admit that it’s not happening before too long and get something else, but I still feel guilty.

Laying in bed at night waiting for my betrothed to finish getting ready I let out a huge sigh of relief when they turned the lights off.

“Why didn’t you turn them off if they bothered you?” they asked the first time it happened.

“I didn’t even know it was bothering me until it was gone.”

Assessing my physical state now to see if I can improve it is something I’m still relearning but I’m relieved to finally have the space and support to do it.

#ramblies #autism #as an afab kid I didn’t get diagnosed but given my poor social skills and general vibes it’s astonishing I wasn’t #I didn’t learn to implement social masking until way later #also those warts too months to get rid of cause they were too big to burn off #they had to be scraped down slowly after baths

Rick Simpson – The Marijuana Cancer Cure

Trouble with the Law

Marijuana Advocacy & Testimonials

Use and Dosage

Rick Simpson is known for his remarkable influence in the health and marijuana industry. Sometimes bad news can lead to golden opportunities, which is definitely the case in Rick’s situation. His personal battle with cancer took him down a path of discovering that marijuana cures cancer.

According to Simpson, it is hemp oil specifically that holds the cure to all forms of cancer, along with several other diseases. Due to him bringing to light marijuana’s potent cancer healing powers, he has helped change the lives of many people worldwide.

Introduction to Marijuana

Introduction to Marijuana – Image powered by Scienceoholic.com

Rick Simpson was born in 1949 in Canada. In 1997 he began to suffer from a brain injury that resulted in intense ringing in his ears. He tried all the medicine prescribed by doctors to no avail. One day he decided to give marijuana a try after watching a program about medical marijuana. After smoking weed, he noticed a huge relief that was far greater than any prescribed medication he used. Simpson went to his doctor to get a medical marijuana prescription but was denied.

Hemp Oil

Unfortunately, his condition grew worse over time. Remembering how smoking marijuana gave him relief, he began researching the effects of a cannabinoid concentrate in the form of an oil. Using the female flowers of marijuana plants he made an extraction that he could consume orally on a daily basis. This led to improved sleep, lower blood pressure, weight loss and an ability to experience a better quality of life.

In 2003 Rick received news that he had basal cell carcinoma skin cancer. The signs of this illness were visible on his body with cancer spots showing on his face and neck. This diagnosis changed his life and soon the lives of many others from that day on.

Rick started off with the traditional medical approach of getting surgery to help with the condition. However, this failed to get proper results, and cancer would reappear right after the surgery. After failed surgery attempts he decided to go with a different approach. He was already orally consuming oil taken from a cannabis plant for about a year for a different reason. However, now that he had cancer, he remembered hearing about THC found in cannabis having the ability to kill cancer in mice. Rick heard this report while listening to the radio in his car in Nova Scotia.

Studies coming from the University of Virginia also determined that multiple chemicals in marijuana served to fight cancerous tissue in mice and taken from them. Thinking about this information, Simpson thought to himself, why not try this for himself since apparently there has been success with mice.

Simpson had great experiences with hemp oil in the past with it alleviating pain, lowering high blood pressure and getting rid of headaches.

His strategy was to put the cannabis oil on the cancer spots using bandages that he rubbed the oil on. Rick left the bandages on the skin cancer for up to 4 days then removed it to check for progress. He was thrilled to see that the cancer spots were completely gone. It was clear that the cannabis oil had been a success and he was cured.

Creating and Distributing the Cure

After Rick’s great discovery he was eager to share the good news with his doctor; however, he was not greeted with listening ears. His doctors had no interest in the source behind his successful results and completely rejected it. Rick went as far as to reach out to the cancer organizations for help. Unfortunately, he was still met with deaf ears.

He was left with no choice but to venture out on his own.

At this point, he had a niche market he could focus on helping, so he started experimenting with growing marijuana in his own backyard to make hemp oil. Rick made this oil available at no charge to all who requested his help. His supporters continuously grew in numbers very quickly as the word spread about the cure.

Creating and Distributing the Cure – Image powered by Ballparkdispensary.com

He treated several people suffering from various skin conditions such as psoriasis and melanoma. Rick’s hemp oil was successful in cancer patients and diabetics alike. His treatments with multiple patients showed that to experience total healing, a dose of 60 grams of oil would be necessary for the most severe ailments.

Simpson is no medically trained expert and can’t provide substantiated proof of his claims. He is a passionate advocate who strongly believes in the power of marijuana because of his own experiences and numerous testimonials from other people.

Trouble with the Law

Rick’s kind heart and desire to help didn’t always go smoothly. He had to deal with his home being raided several times and more than 2,600 marijuana plants destroyed. Simpson was questioned about his activity many times by the Canadian police and eventually imprisoned.

Trouble with the Law – Image powered by Medicalcannabis.co.za

After being awarded “Freedom fighter of the year” by High Times magazine, Rick had yet another run-in with the Canadian police. This did not cause him to lose his momentum and drive to distribute this healing oil to others. He made the decision to move to Europe to escape being treated like a criminal in Canada. There he continued his great work producing his cannabis oil.

Marijuana Advocacy & Testimonials

His work has been so great that his story was in a documentary on YouTube, “Run From the Cure,” in 2008. This film does a fantastic job of documenting Simpson’s discovery as well as great knowledge of marijuana in general.

Over the course of several years, Rick’s hemp oil has been given to over 5,000 people, not including the large numbers of people worldwide who have used cannabis on their own to heal because of his story. These patients suffered from bacterial and viral diseases, glaucoma, warts, chronic pain, melanoma, leukemia, diabetes, and cancer. Around 70% of those treated were cured of cancer.

Even those who were too far along in their stage of cancer were at least able to experience a better quality of life before passing away.

Marijuana Advocacy & Testimonials – Image powered by Healthyhempoil.com

Simpson and other cannabis advocates have stated that they believe there is a Big Pharma/Big Government conspiracy to withhold any and all research or medical breakthroughs regarding how effective cannabis is for healing an array of conditions. Many believe the medical industry makes more money keeping people sick. Rather this is true or not, many are still waiting for the medical industry to back up the numerous claims testifying to the miraculous powers of cannabis in curing cancer.

To this day you can still easily find several testimonies from patients all over the media regarding Rick’s cannabis oil. One example is from 24-year-old Kristina Marie who was diagnosed with a brain tumor that the doctors said would be impossible to cure. Luckily for Kristina, she did not stop there and decided to try Rick’s cannabis oil treatment for her condition. She opted for this over chemotherapy, and it ended up being the right decision because her tumor has since decreased dramatically in size.

Both adults and children are benefiting from Rick’s treatment. One example of the oils powerful effects for children is a 7-year-old girl from Oregon, Mykayla Comstock, who battles leukemia.

Babies have even been reported to have successfully been treated using the cannabis oil. Doctor William Courtney was able to completely get rid of a serious brain tumor in an 8-month infant. This was all done only using hemp oil.

Use and Dosage

Rick provides a very specific regimen to follow for successful results. Patients require about 500 grams of top-notch totally dry marijuana buds in order to produce about 60 grams of his hemp oil. This dosage is good for a 90-day treatment. There are some cases where it may be necessary to increase the dosage up to about 120-180 grams, which is fine.

Rick’s oil can be smoked, ingested, vaporized, applied directly to the skin, mixed into products or used as a suppository.

According to Rick, it is best to stick with cannabis strains that contain the highest THC level. Keep in mind that for patients dealing with depression, Sativa is best. For all other diseases, Indica strains are best due to its ability to help the patient relax.

Three small intakes each day the size of a rice grain is all that is needed at first. Over time the dosage will double every four days until the patient is receiving 1 gram per day after a 5-week period.

Use and Dosage – Image powered by Blogsnow.com

While taking the cannabis oil in very large doses will not do any harm, patients can expect to experience extreme sleepiness. Once you have completed your treatment, it is suggested that patients continue consuming cannabis oil to make sure there is no chance of relapse of any kind.

Since this oil is successful at reducing high blood pressure, it is unnecessary to continue taking medications that lower blood pressure.

Rick has so generously offered a helping hand to the community to help cure a variety of ailments. His recommendations, details on how to make your own version of Rick Simpson’s Oil (RSO), usage and dosage for specific conditions can be found all over the media.

Miracle of Aloe Anti Fungal Treatment Review

See Miracle of Aloe Anti Fungal Treatment Review in its original form on Our Website or go ahead and read it here.

Getting rid of a fungal infection on the toes or toenails is about healing the infection itself, and clearing up the symptoms that go along with it. Symptoms may start out small. But, when not properly treated you can experience cracking, crumbling nails, a bad smell from the nails, and discoloration. [easyazon_link identifier="B001AVS2A8" locale="US" tag="yellowtoenails-20"]Miracle of Aloe Anti Fungal Treatment[/easyazon_link] is designed to kill fungus and clear the symptoms.

If you've been looking at different OTC products to treat toenail fungus fast, you've probably come across natural solutions and chemically-enhanced treatments. Miracle of Aloe offers the best of both worlds. You can feel safe when using it, but it's strong enough to kill a fungus at the core.

Formulated by doctors, this treatment is designed to do much more than just cover up symptoms. It contains anti-fungal ingredients that will penetrate an infection. It's so powerful, it's not just meant for nail fungus. It can also be used on ringworm and for the treatment of athlete's foot.

This treatment is safe for your feet and hands and can be used on surrounding skin. Many products can only safely be used on nails or skin, not both. There are a lot of characteristics to this liquid that makes it unique.

Miracle of Aloe Antifungal Treatment Review

Because it's such a unique product, Miracle of Aloe deserves some explaining of its prominent features. This article will cover some common questions associated with the product. We will share its ingredients and what makes it work.

Finally, we'll showcase some of its advantages and disadvantages. Finding the right fungal treatment isn't always easy. Staying informed about how a product works and why can be the key to making your perfect choice. Let's find out if Miracle of Aloe will be that choice for you.

How Does It Work?

The formula used in this treatment is a mixture of natural ingredients and antifungal medications. It is designed to penetrate deep into the nail to get rid of infection quickly. Because the ingredient list is so short, you can take your time looking it over. The more you know about the ingredients, the more confident you can feel using them on your body. The Miracle of Aloe formula is made up of the following:

Tolnaftate (1%)

Aloe vera leaf juice

PEG 400

Salicylic acid

Tea tree leaf oil

BHT

DMDM Hydantoin

Many of these ingredients are antifungal agents. Tolnaftate is used in multiple toenail fungus treatment solutions. It helps to prevent growth and spread, which can be a big problem when you're dealing with an infection.

Tea tree oil is a natural antifungal agent. It also contains antibacterial and antiseptic properties. This will help to keep your toes and surrounding skin clean and free from any further infection.

As the name of the product suggests, aloe vera is an important ingredient. Aloe will help to restore your skin to a healthy, stronger state while soothing away all of the uncomfortable and unsightly symptoms often associated with fungus.

How Often Should I Apply It?

This treatment is designed for daily use. You can use it twice a day to help eliminate fungus and its symptoms. It comes with a convenient brush that makes the application even easier. Simply dip the brush into the solution and apply a thin coat of the liquid on the affected area.

It will penetrate through the nail quickly, and work on healing your surrounding skin. Not only will this allow it to get to the fungus under the nail bed fast, but you'll see your symptoms start to clear up even sooner.

If you'd like, you can also apply a few drops to a Q-Tip and wipe it around and underneath the nail. This will ensure the liquid gets under the nail effectively and reduces the risk of contaminating the entire bottle.

For best results, use morning and night, and let the liquid soak into the nail and skin for several minutes before putting on socks or shoes.

Are There Any Side Effects?

When you use a natural treatment option, side effects are rare. While Miracle of Aloe uses both natural and medical ingredients, there are some precautions to keep in mind. It is generally safe to use. Once you know the ingredients, make sure you aren't allergic to any of them. An allergic reaction can cause irritation.

Some people are sensitive to tolnaftate. It can cause a minor heat sensation or slight irritation. If you use the product and find that it bothers your skin, stop use immediately.

In general, this is a treatment that is very safe to use on a regular basis. It's even safe enough for people with diabetes, who may be limited to the types of treatment they can use. Children can use it, but they should be supervised during the application.

How Quickly Will It Work?

As with almost any fungal treatment product, how quickly Miracle of Aloe works depends on the severity of your infection. The manufacturer suggests that you use it every day, twice a day, for four weeks.

Within those four weeks, you should notice relief from some of the symptoms associated with an infection. This includes:

Itching

Burning

Scaling

Cracking

You may also notice fresh regrowth of a healthy toenail. However, this might take longer. It's the best way to ensure the fungus is gone completely.

Just because the manufacturer suggests a daily use for four weeks, doesn't mean the infection will be completely eliminated in that time. If you were able to start treatment during the early signs of an infection, you may be able to clear it up in just a few weeks.

However, if the infection has become severe, it could take months to make sure it's completely gone. The most important thing to remember is that you should never stop treatment early. If you've gone through an entire bottle of the solution and you still see any signs of fungus, another bottle may be necessary.

Will It Help with Anything Else?

The value in this solution rests in the fact that it is easy to use, it's inexpensive, and it can be used for a multitude of different conditions. Toenail fungus isn't the same as athlete's foot. Athlete's foot can affect the skin between the toes. Thankfully, this product is safe enough to work on your skin and get rid of that condition, too.

It's also useful for ringworm, or even warts on the feet and/or hands. While it may not work as quickly as some other solutions, being able to use it on multiple problems makes it useful to keep around, no matter what.

If you have used the product on a toenail fungus with the included brush, use a new bottle for other conditions. This will help to reduce the risk of contaminating other areas of your skin with a potential infection.

What Are the Advantages & Disadvantages?

Even though this product is unique in its ingredient list, it isn't perfect. There are a few things to keep in mind before you decide whether or not Miracle of Aloe is right for you. Let's take a closer look at some of the pros and cons you can expect when using it.

Pros:

Effective formula of natural and medicated ingredients

Formulated by doctors

Low risk of negative side effects

Easy to apply

Cons:

May be easy to contaminate bottle with included brush

Can take longer to see full results than other treatments

One of the biggest complaints about this treatment is that it can take a long time to fully get rid of a fungal infection. Again, the length of time it takes will greatly depend on how long you've been living with a fungus, to begin with.

Even though it may take awhile to clear up the condition completely, most people do suggest that it helps with symptoms quickly. Things like a bad smell from the nails or hard, brittle nails can be the biggest problem for some, so that's an important positive characteristic to consider.

Should I Use Miracle of Aloe for Toenail Fungus?

Met with mostly positive reviews, Miracle of Aloe is certainly worth trying. It offers a great balance between a natural treatment solution and something a bit stronger, thanks to the addition of tolnaftate.

Many of the ingredients in this product have been proven as effective when it comes to getting rid of fungal infections completely. Things like tolnaftate and tea tree oil can penetrate the nail and disturb the growth of infection where it starts.

Other ingredients help to soothe the negative symptoms that often go hand-in-hand with these types of infections. With regular use, you'll get the best of both worlds when it comes to clearing up toenail fungus completely. Plus, you can use it on other conditions, too.

If you've tried natural treatments or other over-the-counter products and nothing has worked, give Miracle of Aloe a try. It could be the specially-formulated combination of ingredients that finally works to wipe out strong toenail fungus.

What is the best method for removing tattoos?: What A Mistake!

Getting that Laser Tattoo Removal Manhattan seemed like a good idea at the time. But now that blast from the past on your back or tribal band around your arm may seem like a bit of body art you could live without.

If you're ready to get a tattoo removed, you're not alone: According to a 2006 survey in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 24 percent of 18- to 50-year-olds have tattoos, and 17 percent have considered tattoo removal.

There's good news and bad news when it comes to getting a tattoo removed. The bad news is that tattoos are meant to be permanent, and even state-of-the-art removal techniques won't work for everyone; your chance of success varies with your skin color and the tattoo's pigments and size.

The good news is that you don't have to undergo your mother's tattoo removal technique. The de-inking process has evolved in recent years, from a cringe-worthy, potentially skin-damaging process to a safer, more sophisticated method that uses laser technology.

Don't try these at home

In decades past, people trying to get rid of tattoos have gone to extreme measures to de-ink. For example, one technique known as dermabrasion involves scraping away or sanding down the skin. In salabrasion, a salt solution is rubbed into the skin and heated and scraped away. In both cases, when the area heals, the tattoo may be gone, but scars are likely to be left behind.

Surgically removing the tattoo is also likely to leave a scar. The tattooed skin is cut out and the surrounding skin is sewn back together. Occasionally, doctors can perform surgical removals of tiny tattoos.

The best bathing suit for your body

Scars are the most common side effect of tattoo removal. However, for some, the removal technique known as scarification is a form of body modification itself, just like tattooing and piercing. Much like a chemical peel removes the top layer of skin, an acid solution is used to remove the tattoo in this procedure. The scar that forms in its place covers up whatever ink remains.

Cryosurgery, sometimes called cryotherapy, has also been used to remove tattoos. This procedure freeze-burns the tattooed skin with liquid nitrogen, which is commonly used to treat warts and other skin lesions.

None of the above forms of destroying the tattooed skin are recommended, says Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, M.D., the founder and director of 5th Avenue Dermatology Surgery and Laser Center, in New York City. "You could throw kerosene on it and light a match -- that'd be the same thing."

Health.com: Sun-proof your skin from A to Z

The best way to remove a tattoo is with quality-switched, or Q-switched, lasers, which have become widely used in the last decade. The beam of light searches for contrast between skin tone and ink and pulses intensely on the skin to break the ink down into particles small enough for the body to absorb.

"Laser removal is the standard of care," says Frank, but that doesn't mean it's foolproof. "There is no great treatment."

Will laser treatment work?

Laser treatment works differently for all patients, depending on the tattoo. The greater the color contrast between the ink and skin, the easier the removal will be, says Frank. Black ink on light-skinned people, for example, is the easiest to remove, while fluorescent colors -- green and purple, in particular -- are nearly impossible to erase.

"Patients with tattoos with those colors, I actually try to convince them not to remove it, unless they just want to fade it enough to cover it up with another tattoo," Frank says.

Smaller tattoos are also easier to remove, as are older tattoos, because the ink is easier to break down. Taking those factors into consideration, patients should expect to undergo five to 12 laser treatment sessions, according to Frank. You will need to wait a month between treatments, so expect the process to last six months to a year.

15 ways to be a natural beauty

For Tricia R., 24, the road is a long one. In May 2009, she consulted a plastic surgeon in Indianapolis, Indiana, about removing a tattoo she got at age 19 on her lower back.

"As I became involved in various activities and organizations at college, I began to realize that my 'tramp stamp' was a huge mistake," she says. "I wasn't proud of my decision and wanted to hide it." Her doctor estimated she would need 20 laser sessions -- more than most people, due to the multiple colors in the tattoo. The entire procedure will cost a couple of thousand dollars, she says.

Laser removal can be painful, and for the first few days after the procedure the treated skin looks like a healing burn.

"I don't know what hell is like, but during my treatments, I would swear that's where I am," says Tricia, now on her sixth session. "I immediately felt like I was being pelted with hot grease and flicked with rubber bands. It by far is the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life. On top of the pain, the noise of the laser burning my skin is similar to the noise of bacon frying in a skillet."

Patients should care for the skin like a burn too, applying antibiotic ointment and keeping the skin bandaged, Frank says. Compared with older treatments, laser removal leaves little to no scarring, but it may cause allergic reactions in some people. In some cases, the skin around the tattooed area can become discolored or infected, and it is important to shield this vulnerable skin with sunscreen.

Any scarring or discoloration should be limited to that area, though. "Lasers can target [tattoo ink] without destroying things you want to leave alone, like healthy skin," Frank explains.

What's that rash?

Since treatment sessions add up, the cost of laser removal isn't so forgiving on bank accounts. Each session with Frank costs $350. Since a small tattoo is typically $80 to $100, the cost of removal often far exceeds the price tag of the original ink.

"Despite the pain, time, and cost, I am confident that it will be well worth it when I can look in the mirror and no longer see the evidence of a big regret," Tricia says.

How to camouflage a tattoo

If you're not ready to spring for laser treatments, heavy-duty makeup kits could do the trick. Companies like Tattoo Camo and Tattoo Cosmetics sell cover-up kits. Even mainstream cosmetics companies, like Dermablend, carry products that may be effective in hiding tattoos.

Many websites and infomercials sell over-the-counter tattoo-fading creams, such as Tat B Gone and Tattoo-OFF. Tat B Gone touts removal in three to nine months; a six-month supply sets a patient back about $270.

Get flawless skin naturally

The sales pitch is enticing: The creams are easy to use and relatively inexpensive. But the Food and Drug Administration says not to try do-it-yourself products, as they may cause skin reactions. The ingredients active in the fading process are chemical irritants meant to erode the skin, says Frank. The hope is that the body's natural healing processes will dissolve some of the ink as it heals the area, he says.

Whatever technique you use, if you're not happy with the residual coloration or scarring, you could try one more thing -- another tattoo.

Depending on the design, shape, and location, a skilled tattoo artist may be able to incorporate an old tattoo into a new design. Unlike other methods, getting another tattoo -- and to a lesser extent, laser removal -- is the only procedure that guarantees results. If there were other methods that worked, says Frank, "I wouldn't need a $150,000 laser!
