I was diagnosed with a Grade 3 Astrocytoma! I have been using Synergy Wellness products for 7 months, primarily the ACDC products. I had my MRI on Friday and I was cleared of cancer and my tumor is gone.

I’m truly grateful to have found Synergy Wellness (THC tincture 117 indica based oil), for my teenage son, who is severely affected by autism and its complications. This was first recommended by his doctor.

It has made a noticeable difference in helping him regulate his mood and stay calmer during moments of sensory overload. What I appreciate most is that it supports him naturally, without making him feel sedated or “zoned out.”

We’ve seen him become more balanced, comfortable, and better able to handle challenging situations throughout the day. As a parent, seeing your child feel more at ease is invaluable. Thank you for creating something that has genuinely helped our family.

We used CBD gummies in the past to treat our client’s anxiety & self injurious behaviors. These gummies didn’t bring the same kind of relief compared to #103 (4:1 Tincture). It’s fast-acting but doesn’t feel like a switch thats been flipped. Instead it turns our clients anxiety and SIB to a manageable level. It takes the edge off so he can find a sense of calm.

We use this (#117) to treat high aggression/sleep issues in our son and rely so much on it.

"I had a growth between my nose and lip. It was almost ½ inch in diameter, sort of like a wart under the skin. A biopsy revealed it was cancerous Basal Cell Carcinoma and my doctors wanted to remove it surgically. I had to wait 3 months before the operation and started applying a strong concentrated CO2 oil extraction of a 1:1 mixture of CBD:THC. I applied it twice a day topically for 3 months and then went for an operation to remove it.

The surgeon performed one extraction, like taking a slice of the growth. Upon examination of the slice, the biopsy showed everything was clear and cancer-free. That was incredibly good news. Usually, they need to do 3-4 slices or more, especially if the cancer is large. The size of the first "slice" was determined by the original biopsy which was taken 3 months ago. In my mind, the CBD & THC definitely helped.

Moving forward, if another cancerous tumor is detected, I would just do cannabis therapy and not allow them to do a biopsy or surgical procedure. That way, I could visually see if the cancer gets smaller with the cannabis oil. If it didn't get smaller over time, then I would allow the biopsy and surgery if necessary.

Going forward, I am using Synergy Salve every night all over my face as a preventative, because I had so much sun exposure when I was young. I don't want to have to go through this surgery again"

I had an aggressive astrocytoma brain tumor. The doctors agreed it would make me blind, paralyzed and kill me. For the last 6 months, I’ve not done traditional treatments – I am only taking Synergy Wellness CBD Rich medicine. Recently, I went for a checkup. I’ve never felt better. Scans shows zero growth. I call Leonard the “Wizard of Woodacre.” I believe his magical medicine is saving my life and soul.

I was astounded by the healing abilities of ACDC, Cannatonic and Canna Sue. So far I have successfully treated arthritis, epilepsy, prostate cancer and colitis.

I've just had a PET Scan that showed excellent results. Our daughter's friend was the Anesthetist who was in my first surgery to place the stents between my Biliary Tree and Gallbladder. When she looked at my PET scan she was blown away. She called our daughter and started out by saying,

"Oh my God! Oh MY GOD! If you'd wondered why I was calling you so often back in Dec. and Jan., it was because I SAW what was growing in your mother. I wasn't expecting her to make the 6 to 7 months her Doctors were hoping for and I wanted to be there to support you!" "C******, this PET Scan is AMAZING! All of the places the cancer had metastasized outside of the liver are gone and there's only mild activity showing in just a small area of the liver. We don't see these results with Cholangiocarcinoma! This is a Miracle and I am so happy for you all!"

When I have a clean report, I am going to write a small paper detailing all of the protocols that I'm engaged in and share the pamphlet everywhere I can! I know you and Leonard were "key"! The suppositories were my first treatment and I felt better (and pain free) in 10 days.

Thank you for keeping in touch and thank you and Leonard for your healing work :-)

A Synergy Members Testimonial : A Journey with Pain Management over the years !

Hello, my name is Sarah Gould-Biggs.

I am 40 years old, and at 18, I was in a tragic accident. For many, many years afterwards, I had surgery after surgery, with dozens of medications.

To this day, I have chronic injuries and pain because of them, yet I try to lead an active life.

I began with the tinctures and did them for about one year. However, because of digestive issues and reflux, I was unable to continue, so I switched to the suppositories. They were quite relieving at first and worked well for pain for two years. Then, I felt my body build a tolerance to them, as with many other things. I stopped for four or five months, then my pain became unmanageable again.

I restarted them just a couple nights a week and felt relief. With the guidance of Leonard, I have started a new protocol, and will hopefully find daily relief again.

I cannot thank Synergy Wellness & Healing Essence, Leonard, and the rest of the team that has helped me the last few years.

All the praise, love, and light.

Sarah Gould-Biggs, July, 2023

My daughter's anoxic brain injury caused her to experience Corticol Myoclonus that causes her to shake, jerk while stimulated by noises, light, and people…. She was using Klonopin 2 mg doses per day and the side effects are harmful to her brain.  The Black Beauty prescribed by her Doctor has minimized her intake of the addicting drug-klonopin to only 0.5mg daily.  Thank you so much…. We hope to free her from klonopin..

Hi Synergy Wellness Team,

Firstly, I want to say thank you and Leonard for my recovery from long COVID. It took about 6 months, but the CBD regiment I was taking really made a difference with my sleep and overall ability to fight off the virus. Sorry it took so long to write and thank you, but I tell everyone what a great resource you and your healing remedies are.

Testimonial Covid w/complications

I'm Amanda, I'm 43 years old, overweight and diabetic with HBP and I got a positive test result for COVID-19 on December 13.

I was exposed on December 3rd or 4th by someone at work who didn't yet know they were infected.

My symptoms started on Dec 12 - high fevers and terrible body aches.  (Did you notice that it took 9 days from exposure to even feel sick?)

My doctor couldn't really tell me how to deal with this - his only advice was to stay hydrated, take pain meds and lay on my chest.

Besides my regular daily medications I started taking a vitamin regimen that was recommended to me my a naturopath: 

500 mg Quercitin 2x/day

1000 mg Vit. C 2x/day

75 mg Zinc 1x/day

500 mg N-A-C 1x/day

5,000 mg Vit D 1x/day

No tylenol

Drink green tea 2x/day

In spite of all this I wasn't getting better - I went to the ER on Dec 18 because I couldn't breathe. They took a chest x-ray and said I had pneumonia on top of COVID.   Any walking around caused me to hyperventilate, which gave me a lot of anxiety about any physical exertion because it was scary to hyperventilate.  I've never had anxiety in my life.

I finally contacted Carol, who sent me CBD to try, I only wish I'd started taking it earlier in my illness.

I took 1 AM CBD pill ( 20 mg) at 8 am, another at noon most days.

At night I took 1 PM CBD pill (20 mg) and a half dropper of tincture.

The relief from anxiety was immediate, I felt great and I slept great from the very first night thanks to the CBD. 

My lung issues have improved daily, they started expelling mucus the very next day, and I have not needed the inhaler that the ER gave me since I started the CBD.  My weird covid-related symptoms have all cleared up as well (wavy vision, dry tongue, toe pain).

The morning capsules give me a great body feel, and the PM capsules relax me and help me sleep great. 

My advice for others like me that get covid - keep your blood sugars low and take CBD!

I'll be taking it from now on.

Thank you Healing Essence! ( Synergy Wellness CBD only site)

The Roller Ball is better than Cortisone cream. It also works great on bruises and eczema.

THCV - Treatment for Essential Tremors

 I have essential tremors and have been dealing with the symptoms for the past 15 years. My mother, my aunt and my older brother all had tremors and I have seen how debilitating it can be.

In my 60’s my tremors got worse, I was prescribed Proprapnol which helped a little but made me feel dull. I searched for a healthier option  which led me to Synergy Wellness. Leonard’s suggestion was to try THCV in tincture form to alleviate my symptoms.

I have been taking THCV in two tinctures ever since; #107 Black Beauty THC:THCV tincture, and #135 CBD:THC:THCV and have significant relief from tremors.

It’s not a cure but it manages my tremors. I personally use about 3-5 drops of #135 first thing in the morning, If I have an extra stressful day, I will add two drops of #107. Sometimes I forget I even have the tremors! Controlling my tremors means I can now do many things that had become too difficult or upsetting.

Now my hands are steady and I can apply eye make-up.

I can keep my hands on the keyboard, managing to work without issues.

I can go out socially and not feel embarrassed about my tremors, I used to not go out for meals because I would be self conscious.

As an added benefit, it has controlled my blood sugar, I am pre diabetic and I no longer feel that light-headed low sugar slump. It also suppresses my appetite, I actually have to take a little THC to have an appetite.

I am thankful that this amazing cannabinoid has enabled me to manage this debilitating disorder and feel comfortable and confident again.

It’s not easy to find good quality THCV products so thank you Synergy Wellness for your research and excellent THCV products!

CBD tincture #102 for Oral Health -I have always been concerned about my dental health, I was scared of dentist visits as a child and it always made me good about cleaning my teeth and flossing. My teeth are in pretty good shape as a result but many years of smoking have made my gums vulnerable to shrinkage and inflammation.

My dentist had advised a waterpik as a way to pay special attention to my gum health and I added a waterpik workout to my daily teeth-cleaning regimen. 

Since I started working at Synergy Wellness I’ve been trying out their range of CBD tinctures, treating joint pain, and anxiety issues. One day when I was I taking tincture sublingually in a little water I hit on the idea of adding 10 drops of CBD-rich tincture to the waterpik. As soon as I started to do this I noticed an improvement in my gum health; my gums were pinker and tighter and I stopped having any bleeding when I brushed. I use #102 ACDC 24:1 which is an alcohol based tincture  in my waterpik. Also if my throat feels sore or swollen I gargle with 10 drops of CBD tincture to relieve the inflammation.

After the success of my CBD waterpik I had another good idea for my oral health. Oil-pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic daily routine where a tablespoon of oil in swished around the mouth and pulled through the teeth for five minutes or so which extracts toxins from the gums. I started to oil-pull using coconut oil with 5-10 drops of oil-based CBD tincture (#101 ACDC in Sesame oil) and that has made my gums feel healthier and stronger too.

I don’t like the sting of alcohol-based mouthwash anyway but I feel CBD in my dental regimen has definitely helped my oral health and been gentle on my mouth.

CBD Tincture for Grand Mal Seizures: AC/DC #100 to the Rescue !

Cbd for the win!  After Dealing with ongoing seizure activity (grand mal) and looking for anything that might bring a little more peace into my daily routine, I purchased #100 ACDC strain in olive oil from Synergy. Being that Grand mal seizures are stronger, I had to make adjustments to find the right dose. I contacted the team at Synergy and they responded promptly with recommendations. I found taking 1 full dropper of the oil 3 times a day; Morning,  afternoon and bedtime worked wonders. Seizures went from 1 a week to 22 days seizure free so far!! I want to give a huge thanks to the Synergy team for being so kind and helpful. I am eternally grateful for all you do. 🙏   

J.S : New Member as of March 2025 from Woodland, CA

I am getting great results with the Canna Tonic tincture. Decreased swelling, inflammation, and shortened healing time, with no spasms. I don’t feel high (which is great) no anxiety at all and I have good focus during multi tasking and I completely relax at night with a solid deep sleep, which enhances the healing and my immune system. I am sure that this is healing my compromised Pancreas and Duodenum valve. I have had even energy throughout the day and have eliminated most caffeine use.

I was diagnosed with lung cancer and completed chemo. I still had a tumor that was too large for an operation. I then started taking the CBD rich tincture Harlequin in large doses for 3 months. After 3 months, I had a CT scan. The tumor had shrunk by 50% and there was no progression of the illness. The doctors were amazed. It was now small enough to remove, and they did. I am now cancer free. Thanks for your incredible sacred medicine and your integrity, devotion and compassion.

— C.W., Los Gatos, CA

I’ve been using Synergy Wellness products for almost 3 years now. They have helped me greatly with symptom relief from the conventional cancer treatments that I chose. I’ve found no better medicine for relief of chemo induced nausea and radiation induced nerve damage pain than the organic, cbd-rich products that are grown with love right here in Marin. It’s nice to have a friend that I trust to provide safe and gentle medicine for my ongoing fight. Thank you for your progressive and natural care.

Testimonials 1 of 2

My partner has first stage Parkinson’s and a small amount of the Grand Daddy Purple not only relaxes him, but it has considerably reduced his shaking. I also tried some of the tinctures, which are extremely calming if needed during stress. And I tried the Synergy Salve on my knee that had been swollen and irritated for several months. Within a week the swelling and soreness disappeared!

— M.K., Sausalito, CA

I have had Parkinson's for 7+ years with tremors on my right side affecting my right arm and right leg.

I do not take the common prescription Sinemet for L-Dopa, I use the naturally occurring L-Dopa from Mucuna Pruriens along with L-Tyrosine, L-Cystene and 5htp amino acids.

This protocol which I take 4 times a day is generally effective at reducing and/or minimizing my tremors, however when stress levels are higher the tremors are more active.

I have been using the Black Beauty tincture as needed when the tremors are more active. I use 2, 3 or 4 drops of the tincture as needed and within 45 minutes to 1 hour

the tremors subside almost completely. The effect usually lasts for 4 or more hours.

It is very beneficial to experience relief from the tremors as they can be constant and uncomfortable. It is helpful to be able to relax and not feel the movement constantly.

Relief from this movement helps me relax which improves my mood.

I also use CBD along with a small amount of THC at night to counter REM Sleep disorder

Seven years ago I was diagnosed with progressive neurological disease of unknown origin, including leg weakness, muscle spasticity, poor circulation, and fatigue. I was using a wheelchair about 75% of the time and forearm crutches the remaining 25%. I have been on every pharmaceutical intervention known to modern medicine with no success. About 2 months ago I was introduced to high CBD tinctures from Synergy Wellness. After a couple days, I noticed my circulation improving; my legs are getting stronger and my muscles are no longer spastic.

— N.B., Fairfax CA

This was a real wake-up call. I had to look at every aspect of my life. I have reframed this in my mind. Instead of having cancer, I have a Metabolic Disorder, and I am managing it quite well. Most importantly, I have changed my outlook on life. I am more glad to be alive. I am much more appreciative of every moment, enjoying the beauty of nature and my connection with all life. I have much more gratitude. My current motto is: Less Stress and More Love. All of this work is slowly moving the needle in the right direction. After one year, the tumor is stable, not growing. Scans show a slight decrease in prostate size, by 11%. The nodule, while still there, is not as prominent, not protruding as much, no ridge and the edges are rounded. One doctor said the tumor felt softer to touch. All very good news and I feel great. I want to emphasize that cannabis alone does not cure cancer. However, combining cannabis therapy together with a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet, will give you a better chance to live in harmony with cancer. The doctors agree I should keep doing whatever I am doing. I figure I have about one more year to go with my current protocol before it disappears altogether. Thank you, Great Spirit.

Black Beauty #107 for Chronic Arthritic Pain Management - Lucia Kaydon

In July 2022 my pain levels from rheumatoid arthritis went through the roof. In the last year I’ve been prescribed Prednisolone and Tramadol but neither were effective in reducing my pain enough for me to be able to do simple tasks at home or walk easily. 

I take CBD tincture throughout the day which is invaluable for my mental state and I know it helps me with inflammation. 

Although I no longer use THC recreationally a friend suggested that I try Synergy Wellness Black Beauty #107 THC:THCV tincture as it is indicated for pain. 

I took 5 drops of Synergy’s  #107 Black Beauty alcohol tincture sublingually and within the hour experienced massive pain relief in my aching joints.  I didn't feel high from the tincture in any way I recognised but I did feel a huge sense of relief, almost euphoric!.

Magical Medicine!

We wanted to thank you for taking the time and care to make medicine for very sick children. Our son has lived with seizures for 6 year and 9 months. At one point in his life he had over 100 seizures a day, he a had a neurologist tell us he would cognitively deteriorate into almost a vegetable. Nicholas has failed nine medications and been on the ketogenic diet twice. In all his years we have not seen such dramatic improvement as we have on your high CBD Oil.

Thank you for assisting us in this journey and caring for the plants to insure they are safe for our child, as well as high in CBD.

We have consistently tested our oil at an outside lab and they are always very close if not the same as your results.

Dear Leonard, I am so impressed with your product, I’ve been able to stop Baclofen muscle relax meds for trigeminal neuralgia”

Synergy suppositories might well have saved my marriage!

What you may not know because no one ever talks about it is that during menopause, many women suffer from vaginal atrophy due to hormonal changes and the associated loss of collagen. That basically means the tissue of the vagina becomes very brittle and the whole canal tends to shrink! Sex can be very painful - as it was for me - and so I started wanting it less and less much to the chagrin of my husband. I started using the THC/CBD suppositories from Synergy on nights when I thought a morning of lovin' would likely follow and they helped soooo much with the atrophy (as well as dryness) that now sex is enjoyable again! I am forever grateful and highly recommend them for this purpose.

- Elana Dusse, Pacifica CA

I couldn’t believe it! I’ve tried other tinctures for my back & knee pain with THC and got too high.

Then I tried the #105, a 4 to 1 and that was the perfect tincture for me.

I take 4 drops and I feel good and have no pain. With 5 or 6 drops I get a little high.  So, 4 drops in the morning and in evening around 6:00 pm works great for me.  Also, I frequently take one CBD 25 mg capsule in the morning and I stay out of pain and discomfort all day.
