All his life, for over fifty years, David Anthony Schroeder struggled with chronic pain. He had grown jaded by the many treatments he had tried but didn’t work. That is until a friend in the cannabis industry gave him a CBD pain stick. He tried it, expecting it to be nothing more than another “Ben-Gay” rub-on ointment. To his surprise, he found almost immediate relief.
Unfortunately, he had to wade through all the falsehoods and claims about CBD online to find more useful information on how to use it as pain relief. David ended publishing the number 1 CBD pain management book for chronic pain sufferers, 7 Ways To Manage Pain With CBD.
Numerous studies have shown that cannabis, hemp, and cannabidiol, also known as CBD, are very effective as a non-addictive pain management treatment. Unfortunately, chronic pain sufferers who wish to use it for pain relief have to go through tons of false claims and propaganda against CBD. That’s why David has made it easy for everyone and has published an easy-to-understand guide on CBD with his book, 7 Ways To Manage Pain With CBD. The comprehensive book, which is the first of its kind, is written for people who know little or nothing about using CBD. It gives readers the basics of using CBD, such as how to find high-quality CBD, read and understand product test results, read product labels, and use CBD for pain effectively. The book features an exhaustive checklist on how to purchase quality CBD. David is one of the nation’s foremost advocates for the use of cannabidiol for therapeutic pain management.
CBD shines most for its anti-inflammatory property. Users can find that it helps reduce swelling and pain relatively quickly. According to David, there are four types of pain sufferers that can benefit from using CBD for pain management.
Acute pain is a type that comes on suddenly, such as from an accident or a fall. Those who suffer from acute pain find that it generally lasts 6 to 12 weeks while the human body is healing itself. Using CBD for acute pain can dramatically reduce this pain period, as it reduces the swelling in the muscle tissue.
Chronic pain is a type of pain that carries on for longer than 12 weeks despite medication or treatment. Chronic pain sufferers, such as David, can suffer from this for years on end. Fortunately, medical CBD products can give chronic pain sufferers relief that allows them to live relatively normal lives.
A high-impact chronic pain person is a type whose chronic pain is so severe it limits them from participating in major activities. The CDC estimates that 20 million US adults suffer from this type of pain, which lasts three months or longer and is accompanied by at least one major activity restriction, such as being unable to work outside the home, go to school, or do household chores.
The fourth type is the CRPS person. This stands for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, nicknamed the “The Burning Limb Syndrome.” It typically develops after an injury, a surgery, a stroke, or a heart attack. The pain is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury. CRPS pain sufferers have described this as similar to submerging a quarter of your body into a vat of gasoline while it’s on fire. Some people have taken it so far as to take off a limb to experience life without pain. Fortunately, people suffering from this type of pain can find some relief from CBD products.
David hopes that with his book, he can help other chronic pain sufferers and help them jump ahead of all the snake-oil salesmen and all the misinformation online and get them up to speed quickly at the same time.
