Sd: Western Medicine has NOTHING. My herbalist has made me a new Pain Tincture with the JD, Burdock, Turmeric, Rosemary, Devil's Claw, Feverfew and Ginger. It really helps if I take it with my Valerian/Kava Kava mix, but I just sleep for hours. When I want to stay awake I just take the first. Helps way more than any pain meds they've given me. I did get some hash oil. That really helps the pain and the nausea more than anything else. I highly recommend it for your friend.

Have you looked into Rick Simpson Oil? http://phoenixtears.ca/
