A TIP FOR MAKING CANNABIS LOTIONS AND CREAMS

[Renaissance Redneck]

MSM is safe and it's used extensively, not just for pain relief, but for beauty products as well.

No doubt, Brother Nuggz! :smoking: I wasn't trying to sound alarmist, I just tend to err on the paranoid side.

In March I cut the tip of my thumb off https://www.autoflower.org/index.php?threads/first-aid-plus.41611/
and the first one https://www.autoflower.org/index.php?threads/cannabis-salve-healing.14705/

Wow, Root! Most people who say they cut something off are just embellishing. You cut the end of your thumb off! What an awesome testimony, to both you and your salve.

Thank you Renaissance Redneck.

The healing power of cannabis is amazing!

It's been 4 months and the thumb looks normal... there is no scar.
I'm working on getting feeling in it...I'll update the thread.

@Nigga thanks for sharing this! @Root didn't you post about a salve that helped speed the recovery time of a wound? Do you have a link to that recipe?

Hi gbd!! How ya doing?

@ Roots - Hey dude, I was checking out your thread on making Cannabis Salve (good stuff!) and when I saw the pics you posted of that blister you had on your shoulder - Do you know what that looks like to me?

That looks exactly like a freakin' staff infection! I had a buddy that used to get staff on his legs all the time, and his sores looked exactly like that. If Cannabis Salve cured staff, then that's some powerful good salve!

Nuggz...The sore on my shoulder was basal cell carcinoma.
I noticed it after a sunburn that blistered...that one blister never broke open and didn't go away.
It stayed that way for 9 or 10 years...then it suddenly began to grow and eventually ulcerated.

I tried several homeopathic treatments...the Cannabis Salve was making the most difference while not harming the surrounding "normal" skin.

I had Mohs surgery...followed the Dr instructions for 3 weeks (did not use my salve). For the next two weeks I did use my salve and the 1 3/4" X 1" open wound healed in 14 days!

As for curing Staff Infections...

Chemicals in Marijuana May Fight MRSA

Sept. 4, 2008 -- Chemicals in marijuana may be useful in fighting MRSA, a kind of staph bacterium that is resistant to certain antibiotics.

Researchers in Italy and the U.K. tested five major marijuana chemicals called cannabinoids on different strains of MRSA (methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus). All five showed germ-killing activity against the MRSA strains in lab tests. Some synthetic cannabinoids also showed germ-killing capability. The scientists note the cannabinoids kill bacteria in a different way than traditional antibiotics, meaning they might be able to bypass bacterial resistance.

At least two of the cannabinoids don't have mood-altering effects, so there could be a way to use these substances without creating the high of marijuana.

MRSA, like other staph infections, can be spread through casual physical contact or through contaminated objects. It is commonly spread from the hands of someone who has it. This could be in a health care setting, though there have also been high-profile cases of community-acquired MRSA.

It is becoming more common for healthy people to get MRSA, which is often spread between people who have close contact with one another, such as members of a sports team. Symptoms often include skininfections, such as boils. MRSA can become serious, particularly for people who are weak or ill.

In the study, published in the Journal of Natural Products, researchers call for further study of the antibacterial uses of marijuana. There are "currently considerable challenges with the treatment of infections caused by strains of clinically relevant bacteria that show multi-drug resistance," the researchers write. New antibacterials are urgently needed, but only one new class of antibacterial has been introduced in the last 30 years. "Plants are still a substantially untapped source of antimicrobial agents," the researchers conclude.
