The true story of Alice: My journey to hemp
Author: Lucie Garabasova
Mrs. Alice suffered from anxiety, digestive issues, and joint pain. Not wanting to address these problems through conventional treatments, she chose hemp therapy. Her journey with Cannadorra began in 2021, and since then, she has been a regular user of hemp products. Alice meticulously kept a journal documenting the effects of these products, and now she has decided to share her story with us. Let’s take a closer look at her path to hemp.
The full article is presented as Alice’s personal account of her journey with hemp...
How did it all begin with hemp?
I first heard about hemp products from psychologist Mrs. Lucie Kolaříková, who said it was a miracle that heals everything—not only balancing the mind but also addressing all sorts of ailments.
Personally, I went through immense psychological stress (we are foster parents and lovingly care for a larger number of children). I experienced severe anxiety, lost 15 kg in four months, my hair started falling out, and I developed significant digestive problems (I’ve been dealing with lymphatic system issues and varicose veins for years). My joints, especially in my hands, were also very painful.
Given the needs of the children, I couldn’t afford to address these problems with a doctor, so I was drawn to the idea of alleviating symptoms through natural methods.
My first contact with the hemp consultation service
In February 2021, I decided to reach out to Mr. Čermák through the hemp consultation service. I described all my symptoms and how I was feeling. Based on this, he suggested that my symptoms could point to EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus), likely in its 3rd or 4th stage.
Since it was during the COVID period and I was busy at home with the children, I decided to try hemp products before consulting a doctor, which turned out to be a good decision.
I was recommended the following products: 10% CBD oil, 5% CBG oil, hemp oil, hemp seeds, hemp protein, celery juice, spirulina-chlorella, green herbs, and additional vitamins and minerals. My main issues included joint pain in my hands, hair loss, fatigue and exhaustion, insomnia, significant digestive issues, and weight loss due to stress.
My first month with CBD
I began using the products at the end of February 2021 (I also decided to add capsules) with the following regimen: CBD 10% oil, one drop in the morning and one at noon, CBD capsules in the evening, and CBG 5% oil, one drop in the morning and one at noon. Alongside, I used hemp seeds, oil, and protein. After one week, I increased the dosage. About 14 days into the treatment, I experienced significant digestive issues, likely due to detoxification, so I added Pancreolan and probiotics.
My joint pain slightly improved, and I felt less exhausted.
After a month, we increased the dosage again. By then, I could stop taking Pancreolan as my digestion improved, and my mental state became more stable. After one month of using hemp products, I noticed improved digestion and mental stability, with slight relief from hand pain.
Weather changes = Symptom worsening
However, as the weather changed, my joint pain worsened. When my hands were cold, the pain was more intense, so we adjusted the dosage further. Despite this, the pain in my hands did not improve much, and I added B12, L-lysine, MSM ointment, a hemp balm, and continued with vitamins.
Two months into the treatment, we further increased the dosage. By this point, joint pain flare-ups became rare. My weight stabilized at 65 kg, and while I still experienced fatigue, it was no longer exhaustion. I began feeling more joy in life.
