Cannabis Compound May Stop Metastatic Breast Cancer

Posted on by

“A non-toxic, non-psychoactive compound in marijuana may block the progress of metastatic breast cancer, according to a new study by researchers in California.

“This is a new way to treat a patient that is not toxic like chemotherapy or radiotherapy. It is a new approach for metastatic cancer,” said lead researcher Sean D. McAllister, an associate scientist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute in San Francisco.

The compound found in cannabis, called cannabidiol (CBD), inhibits a gene, Id-1, that researchers believe is responsible for the metastatic process that spreads cells from the original tumor throughout the body.”

Marijuana Fights Cancer

Posted on by

“Marijuana Fights Cancer, Cristina Sanchez, a young biologist at Complutense University in Madrid, was studying cell metabolism when she noticed something peculiar. She had been screening brain cancer cells because they grow faster than normal cell lines and thus are useful for research purposes. But the cancer cells died each time they were exposed to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive ingredient of marijuana.”

Juicing cannabis miraculously saves lives after physicians declare the battle lost

Posted on by

“(NaturalNews) At 16, Kristen Peskuski was suffering from joint inflammation and an array of autoimmune conditions which made her organs and other tissues swell, including interstitial cystitis and lupus. She was prescribed over 40 different anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and painkilling medications to combat the symptoms. Still struggling to bring the symptoms under control, Kristen developed steroid toxicity. She was told that the most she could hope for was reduced discomfort, and with luck, she might make it to her 30th birthday. Seeking alternative treatments, she began juicing raw cannabis leaves every day, and within two months, Kristen’s back pain had been eliminated, and she had stopped using any other painkillers.”

Cannabis Science Reports Apparent Success For 3rd Self-Medicated Cancer Patient

Posted on by

“Cannabis Science, Inc., a pioneering US biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis products, is happy to report an additional, apparently successful, self-medicated cannabis treatment for a cancer patient.

This case is very graphic in nature. One of the patient’s physicians said it was the worst case of squamous cell carcinoma cancer he had ever seen, while another refused to continue tending to the patient. 

While this patient’s self-administered treatment with cannabis extracts is still in progress, the results after just two weeks of treatment are dramatic. Some of the tumors have disappeared and others have significantly shrunk to a fraction of their original size. Simultaneously, the patient has had a significant decrease in pain, improved sleeping (the 1st full night of sleep in 3 years), as well as relief from the symptoms of multiple sclerosis that the patient also suffers from. This self-treatment is a work in progress.”
