Ok as you may know in another thread I mentioned introducing a friend to CBD oil who suffers quiet seriously with COPD, he is retired and has never got into the new tec stuff so that is why I am writing this.
His name is Dave and lives just across from me and his health started to go down hill rapidly, rather oddly after stopping smoking as part of a new health regime he was forced into after have a cancerous kidney removed a few years ago.
His COPD onset was very rapid and he ended up in hospital A and E severals times within a six week period and from there on he was having tests for allsorts respiratory related things and eventually they decided he had COPD and they said he had chronic asthma, they never did really define what the diagnosis was other than they treat him for COPD.
I see his cupboard full of inhalers, one has a battery in to vaporise the drug, he has a couple more he takes daily and one he carries around with him and one big tubular thing he has to inhale through.
He has put a lot of weight on due to all the steroids in the drugs and he has an emergency pack for when he gets seriously bad, basically you would be lucky to get all the meds in one carrier bag.
When he walks the 30 or so paces to my place he is seriously out of breath, he has not been able to do anything physical for over 18 months, he is always feeling cold even when the weather is very warm, he sleeps most of the day and the drugs have given him a very gravelly voice, he has no life to speak of.
So after I introduced him to CBD oil about 5 days ago and he started to get better quiet rapidly, the first thing I saw was when he walked up to the top of the close not in his usual way of short strides, shuffling his feet but he walked with full strides and at a regular pace, I was quiet amazed.
When he called round to mine I showed him the cctv footage and he had no idea he was walking so fast up hill and he said he did not even get short of breath. now this was only the second day.
on day 4 (yesterday) he was full of beans ready to go, he couldn't settle and he was talking about the jobs he wanted to get on with!
Well blow me today (day 5) not only is he out there hes got his electric chainsaw out and cutting up the wood I carried into his garden a couple of days ago for him he had his daughter holding the wood down and he was sawing away as though there was nothing wrong with him, the saw dust was no problem the cold air which he cant cope with usually didn't bother him either when usually the slightest hint of dust or pollen and hes gone but not today absolutely nothing was bothering him.
His daughter has been completely pessimistic right from the very start of this whole CBD oil thing, she was absolutely and totally negative and would have nothing to do with it not even after seeing the incredible turn around in my health after taking CBD oil for fibromyalgia. The wood they were cutting up was old farm gate posts and are about 8" in diameter and about 7 foot long, only 3 days before when Dave and his daughter were trying to unload the trailer of the gate posts Dave managed just ONE post and that was only one end of it!
I was really annoyed when Dave gave up and sent his daughter to over to ask me if I would help her with the posts, the reason I was so annoyed is because for the past 3 weeks these posts have been stuck on the trailer and I totally knew it was going to involve me moving the posts when they could have done 2 3 or 4 a day nice and steady but no, he just would not do a thing he had got that bad.
Anyway now I am feeling completely up to full capacity and the fact I was really peed off I told then give me 10 minuets and I will be over. I grabbed some gloves marched over and grabbed one of the posts and told them to keep clear, they looked at me a bit shocked not only because they were carrying them between them but at the ease and rate I emptied the trailer of about 20 posts!
Now to be totally honest I thought "I am going to pay for this later" but not only was I fine I ended up helping another friend later that day move loads of furniture to her new place and didn't get home till gone 11 pm, well I though OMG I really am going to pay for all this work the next day but wow, I have never got out of bed after doing that much so pain free in the past 15 years, the only thing that has changed for me is the CBD oil I was using.
You might think "what a load of rubbish" and I wouldn't blame you, I really found it hard to comprehend just how my health has improved.
Normally when I do anything physical I over heat and sweat like crazy which is part of fibromyalgia as I have recently learnt but I swear as I was unloading these heavy gate posts all I could think is "how the hell am I managing to carry these so easy, so fast without breaking into a sweat or having to stop for a break" ?
Maybe I am a one off case, maybe my body was suffering so badly from the years of my un diagnosed fibromyalgia or maybe my body is doing its "sawn song" and I will pop my clogs next week (only kidding) but I feel great.
As for Dave its nothing short of one absolutely amazing turn around health wise and as for his daughter I don't think it has really sunk in fully just what a change her dad has undergone!
