Back in February 2012, I began preparing and using a cryogenic extract from fresh green cannabis plants. Not just any plants, but a medical strain that I have been breeding for the past 10 years that clearly had powerful medicinal benefits for me.

I had read a paper by Raphael Mechoulam, the discoverer of the most active ingredient in cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol. In his paper, Mechoulam said that important cannabinoids are lost whenever cannabis is dried. That gave me the idea to make a full spectrum extract, using a cryogenic procedure I invented and my special strain of cannabis. I then took the resulting extract, kept it frozen, and then treated myself with a quarter teaspoon once each day.

On May 16, 2012, I suffered a mysterious and traumatic onset of violent vomiting. The attack lasted for four days and left me with severe ribcage pains and an inability to take more than a half breath. At the time I thought it was food poisoning, but since that event, all my cancer symptoms have ceased and it appears that this may have actually been the result of tumor necrosis, brought on by my use of this new form of cryogenically extracted cannabis medicine.

Apparently, the cartilage in my rib cage had been badly stretched by all the vomiting, creating an extraordinary level of discomfort. I could not sleep more than an hour and only then in a special position that did not push against my rib cage.

I conferred with my doctor, who diagnosed my issue as chondritis, an inflammation of the ribs’ junctions to the breastbone or sternum that causes chest pain. No broken ribs, but because it was cartilage, I was told it would take much longer than a fractured rib to heal. Even worse, he diagnosed me with first stage pneumonia as a result of the restricted breathing in my left lung. I’ve had pneumonia three times in my life and each time I had to be hospitalized, so this new development really disturbed me. Worst of all, my cannabis had zero effect upon the illness and I had to endure constant pain and nausea the entire time.

Then, I remembered the non-psychoactive CBD lozenges being patented and developed by my biotech research company, KPAL, and decided to give them a try. I had no idea if they would work since smoked cannabis had already failed me.

Within a few hours my pain level went from intense to mild. I could actually sleep in a bed. My lungs, kidneys and bowels quickly returned to normal function. Since then, I’ve been steadily improving on one lozenge a day.

I was so impressed with the relief I obtained from the CBD lozenges, that I wrote an article for Lake Tahoe News.

Once I began to improve, I went back to my doctor and asked him, “who vomits for four days nonstop?” It seemed strange to me because in the past whenever I vomited it brought relief. This was very different. Then I asked my doctor, “Why had all my cancer symptoms abruptly ceased after this event?” When I told him I thought my tumor had died off, he was skeptical, but the absence of any symptoms since then was clearly something that could not be ignored.

Of course I realized that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, so I decided to wait a year and see if my symptoms returned. They did not and I began to experience excellent health. It’s now been 3.5 years since this event and my health continues to improve. Recently, I took a lab test and was stunned to find out that my catecholamines in my blood have dropped from 10 times normal to normal. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time in medical history that someone with adrenal cancer (malignant pheochromocytoma) has ever recovered from this terrible disease.
