About Me
My name is David Schroeder. I am the author of the new book '7 Ways To Manage Pain With CBD,' The Total Newbies Guide to Understanding CBD Basics, Combating Pain Using it in Multiple Forms, & Finding a Better Quality of Life Apart From Opioid Use.
My life's work now is to heal the world, one patient at a time. I speak, lecture, and write all things CBD for pain.
I have suffered from chronic pain for most of my life. I was diagnosed as hyperactive when I was approximately five years old and was heavily dosed with Ritalin. I loathed Ritalin, and I used any excuse not to take that drug. Unfortunately, I had enormous tanks of energy and could outlast just about anybody.
Growing up, I needed activities that helped me burn off all that excess energy that prevented me from sitting still. At the age of 11, I accepted an invitation to try the cannabis plant, and it changed my inner dynamics. Despite Ritalin, cannabis balanced me and allowed me to function, it toned me down, but the cannabis plant was illegal. The fact that it had to be hidden was wrong.
The world thinks in terms of events, economic events, catastrophic events, etc. I have what I term "pain events." An "Event" may last a few days, in most cases, weeks or months, and in some cases years. One injury lasted ten.
A friend gave me a "CBD" (Cannabidiol) pain stick. I tried it, expecting it to be nothing more than another "Ben-Gay" rub-on ointment. Trust me; I've tried them all. Long story short, It would change the course of my life. But first, I would have to wade through all the falsehoods of published claims and information.
Once I figured out the world of CBD and how to effectively use it and how to get past all the snake-oil salesman hyperbole. I was able to weed out the bad guys and find quality products that would bring relief and healing to my body.
I now have a two-fold mission.
The highest priority; to always educate the next person. America is 100% ignorant about the facts regarding the cannabis plant as medicine. I don't sugarcoat or twist the facts, CBD is not the Panacea everybody claims it to be, but for CRPS and other chronic pain illnesses, dozens of medical studies support the effectiveness and its ability to reduce pain.
Secondly, to bridge the gap between the medically written word regarding cannabis and translating it into simple English for the common everyday man. People can't benefit if they lack understanding.
I teach groups and at events about the importance of the endocannabinoid system, the need for cannabinoids, and a multi-pronged approach to combating pain using CBD.see less
