"Dear friends,
It helps me to sleep evan in this very hot and sticky weather. "
Judy, 17th July 2005
"Yes, it WAS
helpful, especially in stopping the leg cramps that wake me up in the middle of
the night. The only negative affect was a severe case of the munchies, during
which I ate a half jar of boysenberry preserves - right out of the jar, with a
spoon. Another area of relief was in reduced spasticity. Ordinarily, my left leg
feels as though it weighs 1,000 pounds, so I have a tendency to drag my foot.
The chocolate relieved some of this, so it was easier to consciously lift my
foot and bend my knees, as I was instructed during physical therapy. Thanks
again"

"Thank
you so, so much for my first block of chocolate.
I am paralysed from the neck down, although unable to move, my muscle spasms
were horrendous. I've tried every medicine, including bottox to try to alleviate
them, but to no avail. But this has worked amazingly! I still jump all over the
bed (not nearly as much though) but no spine splitting, nerve tissue wrenching,
agony with it. I just can't believe it. Thank you so very much. Many, many
thanks again."

"My MS was diagnosed twelve years ago and I'm now pretty well wheelchair bound. I've tried smoking for a few years and never received much benefit and as a non-smoker I was never sure I was doing it correctly but I'm fairly sure I can handle chocolate!
I've now been using your product for around three months, taking two to three pieces a day. I can't say I've seen any particularly dramatic improvements in my symptoms, though I feel my bowel control is a little better and my sleep pattern has improved a bit.
Perhaps the main benefit for me has been to find a source of supply which I can use easily and which will probably be more useful as I grow older and if my symptoms deteriorate markedly."

"I have secondary progressive MS and now also have arthritis in my hip and knee. Muscle spasms caused my legs to leap around like things possessed, especially at night when it caused a severe lack of sleep. After a day of doing my utmost to stay mobile my legs ached constantly. It was like trying to rest with a jumping toothache. My GP and neurologist did try their legal best. Try Baclofen, no use? well you could try Zanaflex. A very expensive alternative! I slept most of the day on that one and was so dizzy that I staggered into the door and cut my nose open and had lovely! black eyes. Then I burned the palms of my hands on the hotplate of the cooker. Well you could go back on the Baclofen but take a sleeping pill if the pain is bad, at least it would get you some sleep. I had read a lot about cannabis and knew that I had nothing to lose by trying it. The problem being where would I get some cannabis and what would I do with it. Some surfing led me to thc4ms and my first bar of chocolate. I did not get the giggles, I was in total control, I had my first good nights sleep for a very long time. No spasms, no jerking. No headache in the morning. No sleeping pill hangover. Eating the cannabis takes about an hour to an hour and a half to take effect.
I did talk to my neurologist about cannabis to ask him about the trials and if he was involved. His comment was that he knew a few of his patients were using herbal cannabis it with good results, but he wasn't involved.
I find it amazing that the powers that be will happily dispense opiate drugs that are both addictive and damaging, but take the view that cannabis is the road to ruin and debauchery. When and if cannabis is freely prescribed on the NHS I would hope to be able to stay pain free all day and not just at night when I take my chocolate. Without the help of thc4ms I wouldn't even have that. I am ever in their debt."

"Thank you for sending me the choc. The smell is wonderful and the new squares so much easier to break into "proper" sizes. Last night was my first square. What a
brilliant sleep. No painkiller that only works 'till 3am and no sleeping tablet that leaves you with a headache. Thank you."

"Got
my new improved bar this morning and it looks great. I'll start it in a few days
and will let you know how I get on with it."
John, 26th January 2002
"Many thanks for your Christmas present it arrived safely today.
I do appreciate what you are doing for me. In the summer I felt as if I was heading for a wheelchair. The new medication the G.P. gave me made me very ill and I decided that it was not the right sort of treatment for me. (The locum doctor said to me 'I think in your case you should stay as far away from doctors as you can') I've always taken homoeopathic and used my Scottish granny's herbal remedies because they don't cause me any problems but anything stronger can make me very ill. I was really thrilled and delighted when I discovered that your brand of medicine works really well for me, with no side effects.
I am pleased to be able to say that I am now well enough to consider visiting friends and family for New Year, something I couldn't have contemplated a few months ago..... and I don't always need to use a stick!
Anyway, once again, many thanks, I'll sign off and I'm now looking forward to my 'walkabout' something I would not have nee able to contemplate a few months ago."
