quote For those who may find it incredible that the medical establishment would ignore or even disdain such research we remind the reader that the history of the medical establishment includes examples of mule-like stubbornness, incompetence, mediocrity, greed, arrogance, and stupidity. Consider the case of Dr. Ignas Semmelweis: In 1847, Dr. Semmelweis, a respected Hungarian physician who was concerned about the high mortality rate of women giving birth in hospital, instituted a procedure at one hospital whereby doctors washed and disinfected their hands before delivering babies. Immediately, the mortality rate dropped from THIRTY percent to near zero. Seven other hospitals followed suit with similar results. The European medical establishment recognized Dr. Semmelweis's achievement by blocking his applications for further research funds, vilifying and ostracizing him, and, ultimately, causing him to lose his prestigious positions at maternity hospitals. In America, the newly formed American Medical Association added insult to injury by threatening to revoke the license of any doctor caught washing his hands. Dr. Semmelweis was so distressed that women continued to die that he suffered a mental breakdown that eventually led to his death in 1865. end quote phoenixtears.ca

small snip So Sativex is a lot like natural marijuana? Yes. Sativex is, for all practical purposes, liquid medical marijuana. In essence, Sativex is to marijuana as a cup of coffee is to coffee beans. So Phoenix Tears is a lot like natural marijuana? Yes. It is the natural oil derived from the Hemp plant they call marijuana. Is it true that, unlike marijuana, Sativex doesn't produce a "high"? Sativex and marijuana are nearly identical in this regard: Most medical marijuana users obtain relief without becoming intoxicated, and the same is true of Sativex. While both contain THC, the component that produces marijuana's "high," both also contain other natural plant components which moderate its effects, and both allow users to adjust their dose as needed to obtain relief without intoxication. Is it true that, unlike marijuana, Phoenix Tears doesn't produce a "high"? Phoenix Tears is Hemp oil containing THC. Most Hemp oil users obtain relief without becoming intoxicated. What conditions has Sativex been tested for? Most testing thus far has been done on patients suffering from multiple sclerosis and various types of chronic pain, including cancer pain. These studies have shown Sativex to have strong benefits and mild side effects, and patients do not develop a tolerance to it (meaning they do not have to increase the dosage to continue receiving the same therapeutic benefi ts). Further tests are planned for other conditions, but Sativex research has already provided definitive proof of marijuana's medical safety and efficacy-confirming that virtually everything the U.S. government has told us about marijuana is wrong. What conditions has Phoenix Tears been tested for? Most "testing" has been done with patients suffering from various cancers, diabetes, skin conditions and chronic pain These "studies" have shown Phoenix Tears to have cured or controlled these conditions with no side effects for topical application but for some, drowsiness, when taken orally. end snip phoenixtears.ca
