Doctors say Cannabis treats Meniere’s disease...

Sounds a bit like just about every other drug out there. It all depends on the individual and the individuals own health/mental history.

 

I agree completely.

 

A friend of mine told me that spice "boils your brain!"

 

LOL!

What street drug would be worse than weed?
The options scare the shit out of me!
Heroin verse weed, weed will get my vote everytime.
Miss you Larry, you would post the proper responses, like holly and I do!

Hey, holly, what do you smoke these days? LOLOLOL!

A neighborhood persons husband smokes weed, but.....
shhhhhhh, it's a secret! Only his daughter found his stash in his garage, at the time I thought it was funny,
NOW I think this couple are very, very sad little people. Little in.....goodness, and compassion, etc.
That's why they have no true friends and their kids can't with to leave their house that's never been a home.

So very sad, we must pray for them.

Anyway, Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, Snoop Dog, Kid Rock, all openly admit that they smoke weed, even Lady Ga Ga, and. I like all of their tunes!

Doctors say cannabis treats Meniere’s disease
September 30, 2006 — Mahakal / מהכאל

More good news about cannabis. People suffering from intense vertigo and nausea due to an inner ear problem — a condition of unknown cause and limited susceptibility to conventional medical treatment called Ménière’s disease — find significant improvement from cannabis, according to California doctors.


California doctors routinely approve the use of cannabis by Meniere’s patients who say that it helps ease their symptoms. “Meniere’s causes dizziness, dizziness causes nausea, cannabis relieves nausea,” says David Bearman, MD. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the symptoms caused Mrs. Gee to be a little depressed and of course cannabis helps that, too.”

Robert Sullivan, MD, corroborates: “I’ve issued many recommendations for Meneire’s, as well as tinnitus [ringing in the ears]. It works well enough to make a significant improvement in patients’ lives, i.e., symptoms not gone but much abated so they can function and carry on their daily activities, instead of sitting and suffering. It also aids sleep.”

R. Stephen Ellis, MD, has given some thought to how cannabis might help in the treatment of Meniere’s. “Three possible mechanisms come to mind,” he says. “Number one, the anti-anxiety effect of cannabis would be very useful to a Meniere’s patient. These people are anxious as can be when they hit the ER. When they get an attack it’s as if they are wired — that’s why Ativan is one of the treatments, to bring them down. Two would be the anti-nausea effect. Duh! You’re barfing and there’s a drug that offers relief in 10 seconds. The third is slowing down the vertigo itself — the sensation of spinning caused by the inner ear problem. My patients say cannabis is as good as Benadryl, which is the classic treatment. I recall reading that the auditory nerve does have CB1 receptors. I don’t know about the cochlear structure itself.”

 

Holly, THAT'S the post that started it all off....(go check post #1 in the thread)...

A few of us have been posting to this thread since "Day 1", and while Larry's
"influence" is sorely missed, there's no reason the rest of us can't continue this to
100 pgs. (or more) of great info to help fellow Menarians.

Yer damn right Cannabis treats Meniere's Disease!

Anyone remember this from their younger days?

 

ifishdizzy - Should'a known to check but there's so many pages

I remember the refer madness film. It was over the top. I think the Government's finally starting to lose their fight against keeping it illegal. People have educated themselves to the point where soon "the people" will make it a platform from which a canidate speaks from to win an election - don't cha think?

 

Couldn't agree more. If you want to ruin your life keep puffing that shit all the way to the grave.

 

Wish I could get my hands on some tonight!

 

Pop a 5mg Valium or give hubby a viagra--- but remember to let him know an erection lasting longer than 4 hours to call a physician---- it says so on the bottle.

 

LMAO! LMAO!

I cannot partake, I am in too much pain!

Soon, 1Vicodin, I have 29 left frome my script 3 weeks ago

 

& betcha you take 1 every dayn needed or not, that's what I did when perscribed, I asked I was in pain too, it led to 7 years of heroin injections, free now of it for nearly 440 years, but that led to 45 years of smoking cannabis, now the pendulum is turning back with the brest cancer epidemic realizing that cannabis is extremely so

 

Huh?

 

oh. well, yes, lots of typos in that one

 

When typos suggest your 500 years of age, a confused frown turns to a smile & all is forgiven ... & most definitely justified

 

Yes, typos, what meds do you take?

I took ONE today after I showered.

Can you define ASS U Me


When male assumptions, you make an ass of U, not me!

 

I knew you'd like that Sorrita! Boun Giorno, LaBella Luna, no!?

 

no meds. done a lot of that stuff in my life, mostly illegal, lots of asprin though, no more even tat & now no salt, rt ear still seems to be improving but hasn't cleared completely in a long time. do take mega green tea fro life extension, I take it out of the vegetarian gelitain caps & pour spring water over it, boiling water. very bitter but I don't mind that.It looks red, though, says green but I think it's red tea. de caff
