    You ever hear of bullet proof coffee?
    It used to be in heavy use in the Himalayas for trekking hundreds of miles across mountainous terrain.
    Make a cooffee ... in my case good old instant Nescafe original but you can use any kind you want.
    Sugar sweetener or none at all however you usually have it but ... you bung a tablespoon of unsalted butter in and stir away. Sounds quite awful but it tastes quite normal. Butter is only cream that has been agitated a lot.
    I swear the first time I tried this I felt like Id had an illegal substance!
    Wide wide awake and very alert.
    Massive mental lift that is so obvious.
    It's used by dieters who are on low carb high fat diets .... like me .... who may or may not have diabetes.
    Best information from users of the coffee that I know are here ... you'll have to type into their search function. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/type-2-diabetes.25/

    On diets?
    Well the hot fat .... butter in this case makes you feel full for quite some time while injecting a mass of energy into you.
    I can have one around 8 a.m and have no thought of food till around 4 p.m.
    No snacks no nothing.
    The low carb high fat diet has helped me to more or less turn my T2 diabetes around.
    No more medication.
    No more blood pressure medication.
    No more statins.
    Great blood sugar control.
    Normal blood pressure.
    Lowered bad cholesteral.
    Hightened good cholesterol.
    Am I some kind of miracle?
    No lots doing it.
    I haven't cured the T2 I've most of the time switched it off.
    Right now my blood sugars are out of control which happens every time I have an infection.
    I have an infection.

    Try bulletproof coffee

    Is that actually a brand? 

    No it's coffee with a tablespoon of unsalted butter stirred or frothed into it.
    Any coffee will do.
    I've made a couple of posts tonight with more detail but they disappeared.
    So I'll look in tomorrow and maybe add more .... easy to look up.

    Withington MP calls on government to grant Alfie Dingley medical cannabis licence.


    It's looking like it's going to happen.
    He will get cannabis oil which is about the strongest purest cannabis you can get.
    Highly concentrated.
    About time.
    This hopefully will open the floodgates where we end up with the full legalisation to do anything you wish with the stuff.
    Backed and supported by long time campaigners for full legalisation  Sir Patrick Stewart Sir Richard Branson and Joanna Lumley.
    All three openly admit to smoking weed and having dones so for many years.
    Branson did a double page spread in the Guardian about smoking at weekends with his sons.
    At last the walls of stupidity are crumbling.

    Just read that they are not going to issue another percription to this boy.

    Interesting - I love a good cannabis debate! Even though sativex is available on perscription, you need to be referred to a pain clinic and have suffucient cause that no other treatment/combination is effective. Then there is the price . . £375 - for 270 drops. That is out of most people's reach.

    I have never believed that cannabis is the greatest of painkillers but I know from experience that it can help and it has at times, reduced my dependency on other perscribed drugs.

    Hi, I just wanna ask if someone has any idea on which cannabis strain would be very effective when it comes to anxiety attacks and sleep disorder? I need some advice on a certain strain that would be very effective. I searching everything to cure my sickness until I found this article http://kylekushman.com/expert-advice/ and it really helps me a lot. I would love to hear your thoughts regarding my condition. Thanks.

    I started using Holland & Barrett oil but it didn't do anything for me and gave me bad diarrhoea so I found this new company. Here is more information, <moderator removed advertising link>

    Hi, I've been taking cannabidiol (CBD) for 13 months. May I recommend this facebook page, the 'Simply CBD Users Support:' https://www.facebook.com/groups/SimplyCBD/

    The information I learnt there really helped me to try CBD; how to start, & build up gradually, to find the dosage that might help. They also correctly stress that many medications (& even over the counter ones you might buy) must be taken into consideration as to the timing of doses. This is because CBD is broken down by a complex of enzymes in the liver where over 90% of medications are also broken down. Therefore time gaps are needed (4 hours is recommended) between taking CBD & most medications, etc. to ensure you get the benefit of prescribed medications (& not an accidental overdose) & also CBD.

    It is therefore essential that anyone considering taking CBD should discuss this with their prescribing Dr., or a pharmacist. I discussed this with our GP's surgery pharmacist by telephone. She was most helpful; whilst mentioning I was the first person who'd asked! I had already done some research, & thought the medication I take wasn't broken down by the liver, but still felt it was incredibly important to get this verified by a pharmacist. If anyone feels uncomfortable with asking their GP or their pharmacist, just go into your high street chemists & ask to speak to their pharmacist. Ask if your medication, or any over the counter meds, or supplements you take, are adversely affected by the liver's cytochrome P450 complex.

    The information I received from the above facebook page isn't available on a bottle of CBD you buy from a high street shop, so sadly many try CBD & find it ineffective. The green oil I use from Simply CBD: https://www.simply-cbd.co.uk/ has a 'strange' taste, to put it mildly, but seems to be the best one for pain. Lower dosages are however recommended for anyone with anxiety. In all it's a complex subject; there is 'no one size fits all,' & finding what may work is often a case of 'trial & error.'

    I also vape CBD e-liquids from https://littlehempshop.co.uk. As these obviously do not go through your digestive system, they may help those who want to try CBD, but struggle due to taking medications needing a gap between taking these & CBD. Thank you Riyad for mentioning these.
