Dr. Rupert Holmes-Smith

Our journey began several years ago with Dr. Rupert Holmes-Smith, a typical baby boomer with persistent musculoskeletal pain. His quest for alternatives to NSAIDs, which are commonly available but come with potential long-term side effects, led him to cannabinoids, including CBD (cannabidiol). Incorporating these into various formulations for both topical and sublingual use, Dr. Holmes-Smith embarked on a unique journey to find a better solution.

The Journey:

Over time, these formulations evolved, and Dr. Holmes-Smith shifted his focus entirely to terpenes, particularly BCP (beta-caryophyllene). BCP, a terpene naturally found in plants such as black pepper, cloves, oregano, and hemp, has shown remarkable effectiveness in addressing many conditions, including chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, immune issues, gut health, and wound healing. Today, BCP is the cornerstone of Dr. Holmes-Smith’s products.

What is BCP?

Beta Caryophyllene (BCP), a terpene gaining significant attention recently, is being studied for its numerous potential health benefits. Research suggests that BCP may help treat chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, immune system issues, gastrointestinal problems, wound healing, and even cancer.

BCP functions by binding to and activating the CB2 receptors in the body, which are crucial components of the endocannabinoid system. This system plays a vital role in maintaining internal balance, or homeostasis, by involving a complex network of enzymes, receptors, and naturally occurring compounds called endocannabinoids, which operate within the immune system, gastrointestinal system, nervous system, and brain.

Putting the Formulas to the Test:

As Dr. Holmes-Smith refined his formulas, he shared them with friends, who passed them on to doctors and patients. The positive feedback he received reinforced his belief in their potential, inspiring him to put the formulas to the test:

"I have evaluated RHS Relief Formula* as an aid to wound healing for two orthopedic surgeries. Firstly, a large toe fusion occurred on February 4, 2023, and then a total knee replacement on the same leg on May 4, 2023. The treatment protocol was to apply RHS Relief Formula topically in the vicinity of the surgery, but not directly on the incision itself, from the day after surgery until 48 hours after removing the staples, after which the incision was also treated. Frequency was typically two to three times daily. Note that the RHS Relief Formula also treats pain and inflammation and is extremely important. I am 67 years old. The following series of photographs illustrate the results."

Surgeon's Feedback:

The following is an excerpt from the surgeon’s operative follow-up report
(Day 27 after the knee replacement):

“Incision was healed remarkably well. In fact, his incision is barely visible. Informed me
that he has been utilizing a topical cream, which has been applying adjacent to the incision. He was
able to extend fully. He was quite pleased about this, as he had had a flexion contracture of
approximately 15 degrees the last few years. He was able to flex over 90 degrees.”

In 2023, the RHS Formula was born, culminating in Dr. Holmes-Smith’s dedication to helping others and his desire to share the extensive health benefits of BCP and terpenes with a broader audience. This formula is a potent solution for those seeking alternative pain management and overall wellness, offering many health benefits.
