Thread: Wild Lettuce

after my bicycle accident in 2004 I developed nerve damage in my legs. I’ve been taking prescription painkillers since. My doctor was giving me 4 a day of the highest dose and i was maintaining ok. When the government started cracking down on doctors the amount was reduced to 3 a day and the dosage lowered as well.

I tried CBD oil but that didn’t help. One day I was watching YouTube videos and came across a video talking about wild lettuce being a good painkiller and as powerful as opium, but not being addictive. I finally decided to try it, nothing ventured nothing gained. It grows wild, but before I started tramping around my property I wanted to try it first. I found some on Amazon either in bulk (it can be made into tea, smoked or made into a tincture) or in 500mg capsules. I ordered the capsules and started taking 2 before bedtime.

Prior to starting the lettuce I would sleep an hour or two and wake up with my legs hurting. Changing weather would also set them off. I’m sleeping 5 1/2 hours continuous and the rainy weather we’ve had the last couple of days hasn’t bothered me.

If you or someone you know has chronic pain, look into wild lettuce. It might not be right for you, but it sure has helped me.

Thank you, that's interesting. I'm not sure I would be able to get it into the country here, but I will look into it.

I have Osteoarthritis in one of my shoulders, basically wore it out.

I have found that Turmeric mixed with Black Pepper around three teaspoons a day in water, reduced the pain by around 60%, it's not a painkiller but reduces inflammation. Took around a month to take effect.

Once again, might not work for everyone, but inexpensive and simple to try.
