About the Author

Eileen Konieczny, RN, has spent decades working to alleviate the suffering of those she cared for as a bedside registered nurse who specialized in cancer. Since 2008, after learning how safe and therapeutic the cannabis plant can be, Eileen stepped out of her comfort zone and began advocating on behalf of its use as medicine. International Nurse Leader, President, Strategist, and Cannabis Nurse are all titles that Eileen holds from her work and knowledge around cannabis. She has educated thousands on the benefits of cannabis and played an instrumental role in securing safe access to medical cannabis for 23 million people. Eileen lives in New York’s Hudson Valley with her family, pets and farm animals.





Lauren Wilson is a professional writer, cannabis enthusiast, and food lover. She initially came to the cannabis world as a recreational user in her youth, and has since developed a far more deep and meaningful relationship to the plant as a patient seeking a natural and non-toxic option for chronic pain relief. As co-author of Healing with CBD, Lauren hopes to help and support those who may not have considered cannabis therapeutics, offering the knowledge and confidence they might need to try it. A graduate from Toronto’s George Brown Chef School in 2008, Lauren is the author of The Walking Dead: The Official Cookbook and Survival Guide  and The Art of Eating Through the Zombie Apocalypse: A Cookbook and Culinary Survival Guide and lives in Brooklyn, NY.

    Lauren was infected with a rare strain of undead enthusiasm over a decade ago while fighting off the zombie menace of Raccoon City in the original Resident Evil. From video games to comic books, zombie walks to online communities, there are few corners of the culture she has not explored. And she’s got a decent zed t-shirt collection, to boot.

    But, being a writer with a curious mind, Lauren's writing career shifted gears in 2018 when she co-authored her first book about the (then) emerging health trend of CBD. With an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a love of research, she has built her career on tumbling down cultural rabbit holes. Her work has focused on digesting big topics and distilling them into fun and approachable formats.

    When not writing books, Lauren works primarily as a freelance cannabis writer offering companies her wordsmithing talents along with her deep knowledge of cannabis and CBD science to create targeted educational content for consumers.

    She is the author of five books, including the bestsellers The Art of Eating Through the Zombie Apocalypse: A Cookbook and Culinary Survival Guide, The Walking Dead: The Official Cookbook and Survival Guide, and Healing with CBD: How Cannabidiol Can Transform Your Health Without the High. Most recently Lauren wrote two books for Snoop Dogg’s cannabis media outlet Merry Jane with Chronicle Books: The CBD Solution: Wellness (published September 22, 2020) and The CBD Solution: Home (coming March 30, 2021).

    Lauren lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her mischievous cat Sheldon.

    Eileen Konieczny, RN, BCPA

    Medical cannabis expert and US Navy Veteran Eileen Konieczny found her passion educating patients on safe and effective uses of cannabis-derived medicine from years spent in the trenches of the healthcare industry. As an oncology nurse for many years and an expert in the administration of medical cannabis, Eileen has seen firsthand its transformative effects for patients, its effects on the lives of families and caregivers, and the sometimes-fraught world of education on the endocannabinoid system. Eileen founded Olive’s Branch, an educational consulting firm, in 2013, to fill this need.

    As a patient advocate, Eileen has fought for medical cannabis legalization and was a recognized leader in the passing of New York’s medical cannabis bill. Eileen serves on the board of directors for the Association of Cannabis Specialists, is the current Past President of the American Cannabis Nurses Association as well as a clinical associate in the Society for Cannabis Clinicians. Eileen has been actively involved in two highly-regulated licenses for medical cannabis cultivation, production, and distribution in New York and Connecticut.

    Eileen’s book, Healing with CBD: How Cannabidiol Can Transform Your Health Without the High (Ulysses Press, Sept. 2018), offers a practical and nuanced guide to cannabinoid medicine gleaned from her years of experience in the medical cannabis space. It combines lessons learned from treating patients with tales from-the-field in advocacy at the national level.

Great book!
I have read many books related to cannabis and CBD, but I really loved this book! It's written in such a way that you really connect with the writer, the plant itself and gain so much knowledge on the value of CBD and cannabis. I just ordered 12 books to give to my Physician colleagues. Amazing job Eileen!

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most informative, easy-read books on CBD

    I bought a few of these books to give away, but it wasn't until after a month that I decided to sit down and read and I wish I had read it the moment I received it. It really breaks things down in a simple, easy way to understand the basics of CBD and provides thorough explanations. Hoping that an updated version comes out with the new Farm Bill passing recently. Working in the CBD industry and being a CBD oil user has a whole new meaning now with what I learned in this book.

    Update: I have bought more of these books to gift to some of our distributors and affiliates. This is the book that helped me start Kamba Wellness CBD. We focus on formulating a high-quality, safe product, CBD education and giving back to communities. Thank you so much for this book. Looking forward to future revisions.

    This book is fascinating! I knew that parts of cannabis could be used for medicinal purposes aside from pain relief, but I didn't know the extent. This really was an informative and interesting dive into the uses of CBD for healing. I like that this was written by someone with extensive medical knowledge - it lends a layer of validity to the content that might otherwise be missing. I like that she includes the sociopolitical history of cannabis in order to give context for why a book like this is necessary. I found her guide to CBD products to be incredibly helpful and thorough. Although she explains different substances and research in medical terms, she does so in a way that is fairly easy to follow, and I think it adds a lot to this book. It's not just about how to use CBD for yourself - it's about understanding the science and history behind CBD.

    Yes, yes and some more yes! This book is insanely informational and an incredible resource talking about the power of CBD and how it can help you heal. It's a common misconception that CBD is associated with THC. Now granted, a lot of people may argue that a little THC might help CBD, it's not a necessaity and this book does an incredible job explaining how cannbidoil can truly transform your life. I'm glad that the author started with her journey, it makes this book even more powerful. I loved that the book is full of not just information but also science. SCIENCE PEOPLE. It's important! The author does an incredible job breaking down exactly what cannabidoil is and how it impacts our body. YES, girl, preach it. Happy that the author mentions Israel because they are so incredible when it comes to there break throughs in technology! The questions to ask your doctor section is amazing!! So many people hop onto things without asking their doctor or knowing what to ask, I found this so helpful.

    This book is easy to read and very informative concerning CBD. It covers most of what a person might want to know and suggests other publications for further inquiry. I recommend it for anyone who has been mystified regarding CBD and that whole industry especially from the online merchants who sell CBD products. It's quite mind boggling not knowing what to trust. I feel more confident now after reading this book written by a nurse who has extensively studied CBD and the hemp products. She breaks it down and even at that I must reread many parts of it now and then because this is a new field regarding a very old natural remedy. From all indications, CBD oil can be used for prevention, which is worth considering.

    This book is a great book for anyone looking to use CBD as medical alternative. It gives the history of Cannabis, how cannabidiol effects the body, what is cannabidiol, is cannabidiol safe, sources of cannabidiol (cannabis and hemp), health conditions helped by cannabidiol, using cannabidiol, how much is needed for a patient, and finding products that can be trusted. I got this book because I have personally seen the difference CBD’s have made for someone with chronic pain. Prescriptions drugs were the only alternative for many years and cannabidiol was looked down upon by physicians and pain management.. The side effects from opiates and other controlled substance were debilitating both mentally and physically. Now much more research has been done and cannabidol is being used in the medical field. If you have considered researching CBD, this book is very informative.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I was super skeptical of CBD oil. It seemed like it was just a way to circumvent laws around marijuana use. But I was totally wrong. The first thing this book makes clear is that CBD doesn't lead to intoxication. From there, the author does an incredible job of laying out how different types of CBD oil can help with a variety of different conditions. I was especially interested in the chapters about anxiety and sleeping disorders. I learned some important facts, like the biphasic nature of CBD oil (essentially, low doses and high doses have opposite effects). I also learned about the various ways to ingest CBD and the pros and cons of each. All in all, this has been a great educational read. I feel informed and ready to go to the local CBD store to get started!

    Began using CBD products recently, have had inconsistent results with different brands. Decided to educate myself a little more. This book is pretty good for that purpose. It's not going to give you highly detailed information about the medical benefits of CBD. If you don't have any prior experience with CBD products. This is a good place to start. for the most I am looking into CBD to seek a alternative to prescription drugs for some problems that CBD might be a more effective solution! Just don't want to waste money on products that don't work!
