Mother Treats Her Son's Cancer With Medical Marijuana...Good for Both of Them!


Sea, do you know why Rick Simpson says to use hemp to make oil? The amount of THC in hemp is around 1/10 the amount found in weed ... you'd have to grow 10 times as much hemp. Is it because it's legal?

And although hemp oil is legal, how do you know the source of the hemp? They're offering 0% THC-content hemp seeds these days ...

As for the studies ... I'm sorry, but anecdotal evidence, even a few cases of actual recovery, doesn't constitute a solid cure. Most of the papers were based on lab research, as far as I could tell.
 

I don't know all the ins and outs Sifu, but it's just something I'd consider if I was diagnosed with cancer, among other more natural treatments...if possible.

Oh, I certainly would as well - just interested in the hows and the whys, is all. ;)

And, I'm ticked-off (as usual!) about the government only approving a cure/treatment if their lackeys the pharmaceutical giants hold the patents.

If they had beaches I'd move to Colorado or Washington. :rolleyes:

Go for Washington Phil, we haven't been there yet, but pretty close on the Oregon Coast...nice beaches, but water was cold for swimming. Great fishing, sea lions at the docks, beautiful scenery all around. If I was wanting the feel of the ocean, I would take that any day as a place to retire over Florida.

SeaBreeze, I totally agree with you about the Washington coast ! It WAS way too cold to swim there, but wading was fine, and pretty much the whole coastline is beautiful.
My favorite town ever is Astoria, which is actually in Oregon, but just across the Columbia River from Washington. Long Beach, Washington is just north of Astoria, and would (to me) be another ideal place to live, if the preference was going to be Washington, for the legality of marijuana, while still enjoying the ocean.
The movie "Short Circuit" was filmed in Astoria, and shows some of the quaint beauty of that area. All along both the Washington and Oregon are beautiful little towns with that seaside flair, and awesome beaches.
 
We were in the Newport area of Oregon, HFL. Very nice, went fishing on the boats, hung out on the beaches and camped in the woods. We had a spot that was up high, so we could watch the sun setting over the water...awesome! It was nice because we had two dogs with us at the time, and they loved running and playing on the beach. I didn't let them go out too far into the water because of the waves and undertow...knew it was going to be too cold for me to jump in and rescue them. Nice that there were fresh water streams leading into the beach too, so they could actually drink water there, very convenient. We were usually the only ones on the beach, which made it kind of romantic. :)
 
Eh, I'm sure it's fine for many folk, but for me I like sun and sand and water that is of a temperature that you can actually swim in it without getting frostbite.

I understand the Atlantic. I do NOT understand the Pacific.

Besides, if I stay in the East I won't pick up any of that Fukushima radiation ... :cower:
 
Government finally admitting that cannabis can help treat cancer....about time! http://www.politicususa.com/2015/08...th-finally-admits-marijuana-kills-cancer.html


It is little surprise that for a couple of decades at the direction of the multi-national pharmaceutical industry, and more recently the for-profit prison and law enforcement industry, the federal government and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have concealed a highly effective and completely natural remedy and relief for cancer.

In just the past two weeks, the federal government and NIH have quietly confirmed that cannabis (marijuana) is very effective at killing cancer cells without harming healthy cells like radiation and chemotherapy. In fact, on the NIH website devoted to the hideous disease, Cancer.gov, they published the truth about marijuana and its effectiveness at combatting cancer in a stunning reversal of over four decades of deliberate fear-mongering and propaganda portraying the common weed as dangerous; all to satisfy the greed of the pharmaceutical industry, prison system, and law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal level.

What is even more encouraging is that although the NIH has known for a long time, with mountains of empirical evidence, that the compounds in marijuana, cannabinoids (delta-9 THC and cannabidiol [CBD]), are effective at killing cancer cells, they have discovered how it happens.

After preaching since the 1970s that marijuana had absolutely no medicinal effect or value for human beings, and putting the weed in the same classification as heroin, the Department of Health’s National Cancer Institute is now “advising that cannabinoids are useful in treating cancer and its side effects by smoking, eating it in a baked product, drinking herbal teas, or even spraying it under the tongue.”

The U.S. Department of Health also made a partial list of other highly-beneficial medicinal uses of marijuana such as reducing anti-inflammatory activity, blocking cancerous cell growth, relieving muscle spasms in multiple sclerosis sufferers, as an effective anti-viral agent, an anti-bacterial and preventing the growth of blood vessels that supply tumors.

Some of the other NIH studies have shown that cannabinoids reduce the risk of colon cancer, and are effective in its treatment. One study revealed that delta-9-THC killed or damaged hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), and killed cancer molecules in “non-small cell lung and breast cancer cells.”

One specific study of cannabidiol (CBD) in estrogen receptors showed “it caused cancer cell death while having no effect on normal, healthy breast cells.” Even in advanced cancer stages where it was not diagnosed early, when given as a supplement with chemotherapy, CBD and THC greatly enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy as well as restoring appetite and relieving nausea.
 
I wasn't aware marijuana cured cancer. I have seen much news about it's benefits to stop nausea and increase appetite. Cancer patients going through Chemo therapy suffer horribly from those side effects. My dear sister is going through Chemo at this time for lung cancer which is inoperable. I learned she is dealing with much more than nausea and hair loss as a result of the Chemo. She is so weak she can barely walk. She sleeps almost 24 hours a day. She is so confused she thinks our father and brother are alive (they both died many years ago). She is no longer continent of her bladder & bowels. The doctors say when the Chemo treatments end and her body has after a time flushed the poison from her system, she will be back to her old self again. I find it insane that it is an established fact that marijuana can ease much of the suffering from Chemo treatments, but we allow people to suffer, because of antiquated laws and propaganda by the government. That is a disgracefulness fact.


A few years back, there was a man named Rick Simpson in a rural area of Nova Scotia, Canada, who was growing marijuanua in his back yard, making the oil and curing cancer for anyone who came to him. He wasn't a doctor, just a man who'd tried to save himself (it worked) from cancer and he began helping one and all for free. He kept meticulous notes and eventually went to the Canadian Cancer Society with them and also informed the RCMP at some point as to what he was doing.

They arrested him, pulled out all the plants and he went to court where the judge looked at all the evidence (including his notes on cancer cures) and said the only thing she/he could do in good conscience was give him a fine of something minimal ($2,000.00 I think) and 2 years probation. Her reason for not coming down heavy on him despite the hundreds of plants in his yard was that he'd never accepted a nickel from anybody for the treatments and he never sold the stuff to anyone for any reason.

Anyway, all his patients paid his fine and when his probation was over, he left Canada because he said he didn't want to live in a country that was so close minded and willing to throw sick people under the bus! The Cancer Society by the way wasn't interested in his notes at all.

Our 'laws' allow for medical marijuanua but our current government would dearly like to go back to total criminality on all fronts.

One thing that is weird and I confess I don't understand how they're getting away with it, in Vancouver the city has allowed retail storefronts to sell it and it seems like several doctors have taken it upon themselves to kind of rubber stamp prescriptions. Not that I have a problem with that at all, I just don't quite know why the storm troopers haven't come in and forced a confrontation over it. The city has recently taken the steps of formalizing rules around the location and number of storefronts and begun requiring significant business license fees to help control the situation.
 
If pot helps those sick I'm all for it. But with this case I'm not totally convinced it was all pot especially since he had chemo/treatment. Throw in the fact that he is a child and his immune system might be getting stronger as he gets older I still have some doubts. The pot could've helped him eat which in turn put the nutrients in his body to build up his immune system & strength. There also could've been an over diagnosis of his disease or under diagnosis of it's remission. Either way the pot improved the boy's quality of life.

Sounds like they're following the U.S. model - exorbitant licensing fees ($50k+ USD) and 1984-like regulation.

Someone is probably getting kickbacks ...
