Alzheimer’s disease; taking the edge off with cannabinoids?
“Thus, cannabinoids offer a multi-faceted approach for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by providing neuroprotection and reducing neuroinflammation, whilst simultaneously supporting the brain’s intrinsic repair mechanisms by augmenting neurotrophin expression and enhancing neurogenesis. The evidence supporting a potential role for the cannabinoid system as a therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease will be reviewed herewith.”

Cannabidiol and other cannabinoids reduce microglial activation in vitro and in vivo: relevance to Alzheimer’s disease
“CBD is able to modulate microglial cell function in vitro and induce beneficial effects in an in vivo model of AD. Given that CBD lacks psychoactivity, it may represent a novel therapeutic approach for this neurological disease.”

Neuroprotective effect of cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive component from Cannabis sativa, on beta-amyloid-induced toxicity in PC12 cells
“Our results indicate that cannabidiol exerts a combination of neuroprotective, anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic effects against beta-amyloid peptide toxicity, and that inhibition of caspase 3 appearance from its inactive precursor, pro-caspase 3, by cannabidiol is involved in the signalling pathway for this neuroprotection.”
Cannabis Science Presents Newest Photographs From 3rd Cancer Patient That Show Cancer Tumors Dying and Areas That Are Now Pain Free
January 30, 2012
“DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB:CBIS.OB) a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis (marijuana) products, is pleased to share new photographs from this cancer patient with severe squamous cell carcinoma. These pictures clearly show that this patient, with previously treatment-resistant tumors, continues to make obvious improvement. The tumors appear to be dying and then healing after treatment with cannabis-based extracts.”
Cannabis Science Updates Second Medical Cannabis Cancer Patient Suffering from Squamous Cell Carcinoma Photo-documents Cannabis Extracts Killing Cancerous Tumor
“Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS) a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis (marijuana) products, is very pleased to announce that the second patient suffering from basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) has self-administered cannabis extracts that appear to have eradicated the cancer.”
“Currently it appears that the aforementioned patient will be able to avoid any surgical procedures such as, standard surgical excision (Mohs Surgery), and other various types of treatment for skin cancer, like chemotherapy, radiation, and cryosurgery, by using the cannabis extracts…”
Cannabis Science Reports Apparent Success For 3rd Self-Medicated Cancer Patient
“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.”
Cannabis Science Publishes List of Over 800 Peer-Reviewed Cannabis and Cancer References From Scientists Around the World
“This list of peer-reviewed manuscripts, provides support for the anecdotal observations of an increasing number of patients claiming successful cancer treatment using medical cannabis extracts.”
“The scientific documentation of the anti-cancer and anti-metastatic properties of cannabinoids is a driving force behind behind our long-term goal, to make high quality, effective, reliable and safe cannabis extracts available to the public beyond the borders of current medical marijuana states.”
Cannabis Science Provides Physician’s Documentation That Confirms Successful Treatment of Skin Cancer
April 6, 2011 “We are pleased to announce that we have physician’s documentation that confirms the successful treatment of basal cell carcinoma that resulted from the application of a topical cannabis extract.”
Cannabis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: hypothetical and practical applications, and a call for clinical trials
“Cannabis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis… Significant advances have increased our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)… It appears that a number of abnormal physiological processes occur simultaneously in this devastating disease. Ideally, a multidrug regimen… would be required to comprehensively address the known pathophysiology of ALS.REMARKABLY, CANNABIS APPEARS to have activity in all of those areas. Preclinical data indicate that cannabis has POWERFUL antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects… Based on the currently available scientific data, it is reasonable to think that cannabis might significantly slow the progression of ALS, potentially extending LIFE expectancy and substantially reducing the overall burden of the disease.”
