The tree of life succeeds where man made poisons fail

Officer

Most people don't realize this, but over 90% of all drugs work on fewer than 1/3-1/2 of all patients taking the (often toxic and dangerous, even addictive) drugs. I find myself to be the perfect example of this phenomenom. Another interesting occurance, is the fact that with certain ailments the PATIENT is far more informed than the doctor. Once again, I find myself to be perhaps the ultimate example of this situation.

In 1997 I self diagnosed myslef with Classic Migraines. If you've never heard of this type of migraine, do a little research on it and you'll most likely be shocked. Plauging roughly 5% of migraine sufferes, Classic Migraines are immensely variable in their effects, and rare enough that many people (my doctors for example) doubt their existence, or even accuse the patient of lying. In short, the effects encompase those of the traditional migraine while including a host of symtoms that can be at times so disorienting as to lead the sufferer to wonder if the cause may in fact be even more serious than it is.

My symtoms included, but were not limited to: dizzyness with the sensation of moving, complete and total loss of all apetite (but no loss of hunger), *EXTREME* and debilitating nasea, intense pain-not in any way limited to the head, visual distortions and optical occurances located within the blind spot (the area of visoion that most people cannot see is filled with constantly moving shimmering light), speech disturbances, minor paralysis..... I'd better stop now, suffice to say, you could very easily write a book on the subject.

In additon to the symptoms of the migraines themselves (which were classified as chronic and refractal- meaning consatant and MEDICALLY ***UNTREATABLE***) I was also foced to endure the effects of the TOXIC DRUGS (and I use 'drugs' in the derogatory sense) forced apon me by the ignorant 'medical professionals. For example: the first drug I was given was Tramadol, a drug that to this day is still not in any way understood. It is classified as non-habit forming, however the withdrawl symtoms are less than subtle. Personally I don't feel that it's a bad substance, in fact I feel that it's too strictly controlled, but the fact that it "targets the same receptor as heroin" (thought I'd throw in a little drug-war scare tactics) and also affects the serotonin system, all the while being less than understood and marketed as a safe and effective pain reliever.....well it's sickening to find that it's roughly $600 here for the same amount that $4 can buy overseas andoffers none of the benefiets of the Sacred Herb.

From there my story just gets worse. Beta Blockers, Asthma medication (still not sure about that one.....doctors abusing cocaine nasal spray maybe?), LETHAL doses of acetominophen (glad I knew enough not to listen to the physician's assistant), drugs listing Jaundice, Hairloss, and even DEATH as side effects. Eventually the additonal drugs they tried left me seeing stars on a daily basis, every time I stood up my vision would 'brown out' much like the elecrtic utilty brownouts (imagine your vison simply dimming towards blackness while you are still very concious), possibly due to hypoglecimia caused by lack of eating (I'd eat once every 1-3 days, and only by forcing myself to eat, not easy by any extent of the imagination) my concentration plumeted. Enduring the glare of flourescent lighting, High School became a literally painful ordeal.

The School had a novel idea to help me through my severe medical conditon....Detention. They Chose to view me as a disciplinary issue all the while ignoring my medical condition and assuming that it was all a big joke. After I was found with several herbs and vitamins, the principal called the police. I was found to be guilty of possesing......err....wild lettuce and Vitamin C. In all fairness, the Police Officers were more than amused at the pricipal, one was quoted with saying "Wow, this guy's WAY off" after viewing was was claimed to be homegrown marijuana, opium, and L.S.D.

Eventually I was suspended for possesion of vitamin C, all of my pefectly legal herbal products were stolen from me. One (now fired) officer with a well documented past (as in: on video tape) of cocaine abuse and....amateur pornography distiguished herself by asking me whether my vitamin C or her Dayquil was the 'illegal drug'. You can imagine my response to that peice of stupidity.

Eventually I was sent through a further barrage of medical testing: X-rays (apparantly they thought my lungs were causing migraines <rolls eyes> ), an MRI scan, blod tests blood tests and more blood tests, unrinalysis, EKG's adn even more poisons. In time I was sent to a headache specialist that could only be convinced to see me after another doctor called him directly from a medical center (as a private person, I apparantly was not worth his time) my synopsis of that experience was less than glorious. Moving on to a Neurologist in Burlington, Vemont. I had to drive 1.5 hours to take a ferry across lake champlain, then maneuver through the streets of Burlington to enter Fletcher Allen Healthcare. Concered with the cash inflow, they chose unscrupulous billing practices.

Time and time again I traveled to the Nuerologist to experience the same event. They took my blood pressure and pulse, asked me if I had gotten any better, made me wait, wait, wait some more. Eventually I'd talk to the Nuerologist for roughyl 5 minutes or less, only to hear "Well, why don't you try taking another 5 mg of {drug that had no positive effect on me} and come back in 30 days". After speaking to him about the pain and nasea the Dr replied to me "Well, I don't like treating that aspect of the migraine because all it does is cover it up without addressing the cause" very much like how if you'd been involved in a severe car accident I'm sure you'd prefer not to have any morphine, as all the drug does is cover up the extreme pain, but not address the issue of your lacerations and broken bones...<rolls eyes again>

I'm sure I'm leaving a large amount of information out (like how one Dr gave me a report stating that wild lettuce is useless as a medical herb as it contains only a few nanograms of morphine per gram, a surpirise to me as I was unaware of ANY morphine in wild lettuce) many many many doctors that I saw were either ignorant of the issue (no offense towards them, they just had not been educated on the subject) or had no real desire to help. I've taken early every migraine related drug on the market, and I've suffered the consequnces of their terrible side effects and drawbacks, my liver was surely damaged by the drugs, and I can only hope that I've recovered.

Thanks to Migraines, I am now FAR more aware of the MANY downsides of common drugs that many poeple never learn until their health has taken a turn for the worse.

To get to my point now, one day in 1997 I asked God to guide me, and lead me out of the medical Hell I'd found myself in. Roughly a half hour later, I was offered the chance to aquire some of the Holy Sacrament and I've never looked back. Thanks to God's herb, I've found a way to completely and totally gain freedom from the Migraines, although it's become more difficult to ensure the presence of sacrament, I've been forunate that others are more than willing to share with me. Where each and EVERY drug given to me by man has failed time and time again, the Holy Cannabis has suceeded. Absolute and total relief from ALL negative symtoms, and ZERO side effects, ZERO toxicity, and ZERO reliance on uninformed Doctors.

The Holy Spirit of God is apparant while in the Blessed State. From the very beginning, before I'd ever heard of the THC-Ministry, in fact several years before it was created, I have felt closer to God and I have felt his healing hands shielding me.

God Bless You All, and Thank You for being here.

Yes that was a very powerful testimony. I too have went thru the pharmicopia of drugs for my ailments. I have found that the "Holy Oil"
Id wonderful for lung related ailments and sista Kate has as well and brother Ben also experienced lung relief.

You see the government dont care that we do drugs they just want us to do the dangerous ones. I dont know if you knew this but George Bush senior owns around 3/4ths of Ely Lilly pharmecutical company. Dan Quale also owns a portion.

Best wishes to you friend

Thanks for sharing that with us, Officer. (grin)

Cannabis helps me with pain, depression and most impotantly-spiritual issues.

I have not had access to the sacrament material for almost a month now; hopefully things will change for the better in 2-3 months. The "light" is shining bright on the horizon! Wink

I wish you success with the migraines,

Frank

The Holy Anointing oil is one of the first and most important medicines ever recorded in the written word. I believe that its because of its medicinal properties that it was considered holy and kept sacred. This is something that we need to get the word out on.

In this day of people often taking medicines that do more harm than good, its good to remember that some of the old remedies worked for 1000's of years. Im not saying all new drugs are bad... Lets just not forget the useful "home remedies" that actualy work.

Peace
