Yes. I have been following her guidance since 2011. Between cannabis and healing my gut lining, plus keeping it healthy by not eating foods that damage it, I've been able to slow down the disease process.

@rebeccaryan, hey that is great. So are you able to do everything she says in her protocol. I just remember when she was on a popular radio show here in Iowa and I ordered her book right away for someone I knew that was diagnosed . I'm not sure if she benefited as she moved from the area.
This is such a big thing these days. The gut micro biome . I tell you that the medical profession has done such a crappy job of promoting wellness. Of course, we don't want you to get well, because then how would we be able to sell you a drug. I've seen this so many times in my 35 yrs of pharmacy. I would like to see a minimal pharmacy. I don't know how many times I talked to patients and recommend that they not get a script filled. It was a tough thing to do, as you never knew when a Doctor would find out about it and turn you in to either Medical or Pharmacy board.
I'm gonna just throw out a couple of things, and more than likely you are aware of them, but if not... or if you are aware of them and you have negatives about them, I'd welcome your thoughts.
Weston Price Foundation
Bone Broth
GAPS Diet
I'm guessing you are taking some kind of probiotic, or fermented whole foods.
Changing subjects, How long have you been a Massage Therapist?
I've got some stories. My mom was a Registered Nurse who towards the end of here nursing career became associated with a chiropractor here in Iowa and started a School of Massage Therapy. She ran it for 3 or 4 years and then regulations started to rear their ugly head. It was NOT a diploma mill type school. She has dozens of students that continue to practice.
Anyhow, thanks for the reply. Sorry for the long reply back.

Oh, Please never apologize @sighmanjestah! I value your opinions and your knowledge base.
Yes to all those things. Plus for over 6 years, I took probiotics that were derived from health human guts...now I only take them if I feel my digestion isn't working as well as it should.
Dr. Wahls protocol calls for people to eat organ meat.
I will not do this. I just can't bring myself to consume any animals' filtering organs.
Normally, I do a lot of juice blending everyday in order to get the volume of green veg, that I require. This means that I'm eating raw most of the day and then have one cooked meal. I was taking a fair number of supplements, but now, my staples are: magnesium malate, high doses of Vit D. (8,000 iu), Chorella (fresh water plankton for its chelating ability ) and probiotics if I need them. In the past, I have made my own kombucha and sauerkraut. I grow a lot of my own food. I sprout year round and now, I'm growing my own cannabis.
I've been a practicing massage therapist for 26 years. My specialty is in chronic pain management and neurological conditions with considerable strength in holistic nutrition.
I really think you could help a lot of people if you started coaching on-line. I, for one, need help understanding how to safely guide people to make the switch from opioids to cannabis. Also with SSRIs, diabetic meds, and common cancer drugs. These are the 4 most common prescription drugs that I struggle with. There is no help from physicians and I suspect this is because they aren't familiar with cannabis.
vit. D is a good example of things taught/learned in pharmacy school 37 years ago. Its (vit d) has changed quite a bit during those last 37 yrs.
query on Canadian health system. Are you able to get tests easily to monitor your vitamin d level? Have you had yours checked?
You mention chlorella, have you checked or considered spirullina?
Negative of spirullina is iron. Not really remembering about Wahl protocol but wondering if the organ meat has something to do with the iron?
Sprouting, hmm...does anyone do any sprouting with hemp seeds?
I am sure if you are specializing in holistic nutrition, you are way more ahead of the curve than me on some of these things.
I'd love to do something coaching online, but have a lot of catching up knowledge base wise. Research is lacking or at least I should say I am not aware of any journals on this, pharmaceutical to nutritional, what are some trusted journals that you are aware of or accesss?
Oh boy, the opiod to cannabis switch, that's a biggy. SSRI's are one of those pet peeves of mine. The lack of help from MD's, I suspect as you , that they aren't familiar, but are beholding and worshiping at the alter of pharmaceuticals.
Now that we are close to writing a book on this, I have to ask the question, should we be taking this off line in chat? Or is it appropriate on the Blockchain?
And. 1 question what do you know about the mute button and how does it work. Can you point me to anything recent? Seems like a search has not been very helpful to me, or else I'm not searching correctly.
The mute button is used to help you keep your home page more organized if you have someone who posts a lot of short posts all day long that don't really interest you. You can mute them so that their posts won't be in your face. This lets you un-mute them too whenever you want and it can be a nicer option than unfollowing them completely, which you can do also.
Yes, I am happy to take this conversation off-line into Steem Chat. I think if we come-up with a good idea, we might get other Steemers involved and write a specific post about it to share the ideas. I would love to see an app developed that contains a list of common prescription drugs and over the counter medicines with recommendations made about how to integrate cannabis. For example, can you safely ingest cannabis and anti-histamines or allergy medications? (I have no idea, if this is safe or not and I think that it wouldn't even cross a person's mind.)
I have read that cannabis will either improve a prescription drug's efficiency or it will impair it. Allegedly cannabis is stronger than grapefruit and shouldn't be mixed with meds for high blood pressure. Not many people are likely to know that. If we work together and develop an app with help from other Steemers who know how to do this, it could be a fantastic contribution to humanity.
Yes on the vit d. testing. It's a blood test and I usually go twice a year. October -November and April-May.
Thanks for the "mute" info, I will experiment around with it. I use Steemit by laptop, iPad and iPhone and I've noticed that sometimes I'll follow someone with my iPad and then find out latter on my laptop that they are not tagged follow. I also really like the eSteem app, but it has been crashing so much on me.
I am not averse to trying to get something together app wise on drug/cannabis interactions it sounds like I great idea.
