The video below is of Dr. William Courtney, Founder of the Cannabis International Foundation,
doing an interview on Huffington Post Live. In it he explains how the
western medical mind has a hard time understanding the diverse actions
of cannabidiol. He also explains how his youngest patient of 8 months
old had a very large, centrally located brain tumor.
The child was given
(by her father) cannabis oil via her pacifier, gradually increasing the
dose. Within two months there was a large reduction of the tumor. This
is another human case that coincides with the enormous amount of
research that proves the efficacy of cannabis with regards to reducing
tumors.
Right now, the very first human trails using cannabis to treat brain cancer are under way.
I recently received an email of an individual with cancer expressing
her frustration about her oncologist refusing to even talk about
cannabis treatment for cancer. It’s hard to believe that in the United
States there are only two approved treatments for cancer – radiation and
chemotherapy. It’s also hard to believe that not all doctors would be
aware of the tremendous healing and therapeutic potentials of this
plant.
Many people with cancer these days are exploring alternative
treatments. It’s definitely important to keep up with research and to be
aware of what is happening in the world of traditional and alternative
medicine.
As I mention in all of my cannabis articles (for those who don’t
know), cannabinoids refer to any group of related compounds called
endocannabinoids and they play an important role in many processes
within the human body that help to create a healthy environment.
Cannabis has been proven to reduce cancer cells for a long time now,
as it has a great impact on the rebuilding of the immune system. This
doesn’t include smoking it. Success is usually achieved by creating oil
from the plant or eating the plant.
If you’d like to start on your own research you can start here. This
is some of the information we’ve found but there is a lot more out
there, so make sure to do your own research.
We’ve already seen a number of success stories with regards to people
using cannabis to treat their cancer. In fact, the last article I wrote
on this subject was about Mykayla Comstock, the 9 year old girl who used cannabis to cure her cancer.
Here are a few studies I found that show cannabis can be effective
when it comes to brain cancer, but there is A LOT more research out
there, hopefully this gets you started if you are interested.
1. A study published in the British Journal of Cancer, conducted
by the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Complutense
University in Madrid, this study determined that Tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC) and other cannabinoids inhibit tumour growth. They were
responsible for the first clinical study aimed at assessing cannabinoid
antitumoral action. Cannabinoid delivery was safe and was achieved with
zero psychoactive effects. THC was found to decrease tumour cells in two
out of the nine patients.
2. A study published in The Journal of Neuroscience examined
the biochemical events in both acute neuronal damage and in slowly
progressive, neurodegenerative diseases. They conducted a magnetic
resonance imaging study that looked at THC (the main active compound in
marijuana) and found that it reduced neuronal injury in rats. The
results of this study provide evidence that the cannabinoid system can
serve to protect the brain against neurodegeneration.
3. A study published in The Journal of Pharmacology And Experimental Therapeutics already
acknowledged the fact that cannabinoids have been shown to possess
antitumor properties. This study examined the effect of cannabidiol
(CBD, non psychoactive cannabinoid compound) on human glioma cell lines.
The addition of cannabidiol led to a dramatic drop in the viability of
glioma cells. Glioma is the word used to describe a brain tumour. The
study concluded that cannabidiol was able to produce a significant
antitumor activity.
4. A study published in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics outlines
how brain tumours are highly resistant to current anticancer
treatments, which makes it crucial to find new therapeutic strategies
aimed at improving the poor prognosis of patients suffering from this
disease. This study also demonstrated the reversal of tumour activity in
Glioblastoma multiforme.
