Article – Pain Success Stories using Cannabis


Winter often seems to exacerbate the pain of arthritis and other medical issues. Our licensed medical doctors perform evaluations, determine eligibility and certify the patient for the qualifying medical conditions set by the State of Minnesota. All of these things can currently be handled with virtual appointments.

Once the patient has been certified by our doctors, the Minnesota Department of Health Office of Medical Cannabis will do an investigation and approve the patient in accordance with Minnesota law. When a patient has been approved by the state, they can go to one of the cannabis dispensaries and work with a pharmacist there. The pharmacist will help them determine the appropriate products and doses.

Here are just a few of our many success stories from our patients who have used medical cannabis for pain:

I have treated a few COVID patients using homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy can be very effective in patients with infectious disease, including epidemic disease. Historically it has saved many lives in epidemics like cholera, diphtheria, typhus, influenza and others.

When the correct homeopathic remedy is used the improvements can be fairly quick; many times the patient feels much improved within a few hours; sometimes even within minutes.

The remedies used are very inexpensive, usually around $5 and are readily available at retail outlets such as Whole Foods without a prescription, and we provide them from our clinic at no charge.

TWO OF MY PATIENTS WHO TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 WERE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH HOMEOPATHY:

SUCCESS STORY ONE:

70-year-old woman who has a very important job and who manages many people. She was very stressed and worried about how her job was being affected by the pandemic.

Her symptoms included: cough, tightness in chest, a feeling of being very cold, and she was also somewhat argumentative/short with me during our consultation.

We first tried one remedy and things went very well for a few days. Then when she was no longer showing improvement she took just one dose of another remedy. She felt a great improvement in just hours and her symptoms were totally resolved within another day or two.


SUCCESS STORY TWO:

30-year-old male.

His symptoms included: Sore throat on the left side aggravated by swallowing, a headache on the left side also aggravated by swallowing, chills and muscle aches, fatigue, and loss of taste for two days.

The fact that two of his symptoms were aggravated by swallowing which was unusual, helped us find the correct homeopathic remedy more easily. He took one dose of the suggested remedy once per hour and the next day he was feeling much better and by the second day he was symptom-free.
