I picked up a Breville Juicer for $179 at london drugs. Works great!!!

Hope you can make it work topcat. Hope the juicer works well for ya ivan.

Good links Papa. And btw folks. I read in one of those links that Dr. Courtney said you can juice enough for 3-4 days and keep it in the fridge in a tightly sealed jar..

Oh it would be a while before we could start would have to buy the land and a trailer do set up etc. Right now looking into juicing, if I can convencemy son he'll get the grandson[oldest one] to help set up and if it was set-up to my spec.s I could do most of it.

Here's a little update on the juicing regimen. First Lady Di says she feels a marked improvement overall. That includes everything from overall physical health along with mental health that accompanies fibro. She has not had a flare-up since the last one I noted on here that lasted only one day. This is the longest flare-up free period she can remember for the last 3-4 years.

Now the eczima. I changed up the treatment a little bit. I am no longer mixing the juice with butter. It seemed as though the butter lost it's potency after 4-5 days. I thought about making the butter in small batches but decided to try something different. I have just been rubbing raw juice into the affected areas 2-3 times a day. It actually has a peroxide stinging feel to it. Once that has dried, which only take a few moments(have noticed that the raw juice will evaporate very quickly). I then use some good lotion over the entire area. I noticed if I don't use the lotion and once the juice evaporates it dries the entire skin area out and kind of itches. Now the good part. The areas I am treating have not looked this good since it first started to appear.

Now I too am juicing. I can say there is a definite energy boost 30 minutes or so after ingesting. I'm sure I have noticed an improved focus. It's really hard to explain. That's it for now. All that's left to say is. At this point, so early on. WE BELIEVE IN JUICING. I think everyone on the planet should use this plant in it's raw form. Just like it's a vegetable. We are gonna start cuttin up a fan leaf or two on salads and what-not.

This is amazing stuff Nutty, thanks so much for sharing. I'm surprised and very pleased that juicing seems to be working! Di's improvements in both physical and mental status has me hot to go out and get my own juicer!

The topical application success is also, at least for me, totally unexpected! Are you aware of any research being done to explore this facet of canna's healing powers ? If not, there certainly should be.

Keep the reports coming Nuto, they are greatly appreciated, nice to see some personal information and results..

I'm sure there are a lot of lurkers on here who won't respond but enjoy the information...

Keep doin what ya do buddy!!!

I know you are interested in raw juice.

I'm wondering if the vegetative leaves are
simmered to convert the THC-A to THC,

if the resulting juice (after squeezing or pressing)
would be orally active for the THC.

Any thoughts?

When you are juicing you aren't after THC for medicinal purposes. You want cannabanoids. That is the reason you don't want to heat the cannabis. It activates the THC but deactivates the cannab's. This raw juicing IS NOT psychoactive.

Also the more it read and listen it is my understanding that you want to use more mature plants in flower. I found a recommendation by Dr. Courtney. He recommends some where around 20 fan leaves and about 6" of bud.. I use fan leaves and popcorn bud.

Yes if converted by heat the THC-A would be converted to THC making it orally psycoactive.

By doing that what Nuto is saying is you will loose a lot of the other cannabinoids and acids by metabolizing through heat.

Dr. Raphael Mechoulam the doctor who discovered the THC molecule has since discovered some other cannabinoids and cannabinoid acids that are some of the best anti-inflamatories known to man in raw cannabis. Once you heat it those acids metabolize and you loose the anti-inflamatory benefits. That is one of the reasons raw cannabis juice is so beneficial.

I just read an article where another doctor is stating a raw bud a day will keep stroke away.

Cannabis is food first, consume raw cannabis and you will be healthy, when your mood is low or you are in pain you can also consume heated cannabis to help with the other issues. I prefer raw bud and cannabis tea, that way I'm not introducing any carcinogenic compounds into my body...

Just my $.02 worth.

Peace

The anti-inflammatory benefits of raw juicing is truly remarkable! I can't say enough about how effective it is for my disease!
