hemp oil

I am not going to go into the history of hemp again.  If you think it should remain illegal, go here or here or here and please educate yourself.  There are many other good sites. 

What I will do here is highlight yet another medicinal use of the plant.  If you are as yet unconvinced of the medical benefits of this plant, go here or here.  Even the U.S. government quietly acknowledges the beneficial effects of the plant: go here.

My sweet wife has suffered from some odd bumps on her elbow for several years now.  Her dermatologist says they are not malignant and not to worry about them.  If they got bigger or started hurting, he could remove them.

So they were really just an ugly annoyance.  Various types of creams and ointments never did any good at all.  Nothing got rid of them.  Sometimes time would simply make them smaller, but then they'd flare up again for some reason.

Until....

A wonderful and generous person gave us some concentrated hemp oil and we decided to treat my wife's elbow bumps with it.  We would simply smear some oil on the bumps and then cover them with a bandage.

Here's a picture of her bumps before we began treating them with the oil.  This was taken 5 May, 2013.


One week later on 12 May, they looked like this. A little better, but hard to tell.


Two weeks later on 26 May, the improvement was dramatic.


By the next picture on 16 June, the bumps were practically gone.  (The wound on the inside of her elbow is the result of a different surgery and is not related to the bumps.  Yes, we started treating that one too.)


This last picture was taken 26 June, and there is practically no trace of the bumps.  We will continue to treat this area until they are totally gone and I am confident this will happen.


Today, 12 July, they have not returned.  We consider her cured, but we will keep an eye on them.  No other treatment has produced dramatic effects like this.  

If we don't pull our heads out of our asses and allow serious research into the medical and other benefits of this plant, we are missing a golden opportunity to have a cheap, renewable medicine, fuel, food, clothing...you name it, this plant can do it.  

Come on, America!  What is it going to fucking TAKE?!?!
